"Well Princess, this will be your room. What do you think?"
You look up from your dad's arm to the room that was now yours. It was bigger than your old room, so that was always exciting. And it was high up, having a circle window overlooking the courtyard outside.
"Are you locking me up in the tower?" You gasped, looking at your father with big eyes. Your mother tickles your stomach and gives a wicked laugh. "Is that not where little princesses are supposed to be kept?" She asked as you laughed.
You wiggle out of your father's arms and run away from them, laughing as you jump up on your bed. "Oh no! My wicked mother has locked me up in the highest tower! If only a prince would come and save me!" You said, making a dramatic pose on the bed.
Your father adjusts his glasses and does a heroic pose "Don't worry Princess! I will defeat the wicked queen with a true love kiss" He said, grabbing your mother and swinging her down to give her a kiss.
She laughs, kisses him again, and then does a dramatic gasp. "My king! Your love has made me see the errors of my ways! I should never have locked up the princess, will you ever forgive me?"
"Only if you give me some more kisses," He says with a smirk as they kiss again.
"HEY!" You said with a pout, crossing your arms "I'm the one who is supposed to be saved by a prince!" You wanted kisses too!
Your dad laughs as he picks you up. "I'm sorry Princess, you are just a bit too young to date a prince," He said, poking your nose "Maybe when you are older"
You gave him a pout and an "HMPF!" Crossing your arms in clear protest. "Well, maybe I don't want a prince anymore!" You said, turning away from him "Maybe I want the dragon to keep me!"
"A dragon is keeping you in the tower? Since when?" Your mother asks, walking over and hugging you too. "Since now!" You said, duh!
They both laugh and kiss your cheeks, making you giggle and flap your hands happily.
"So are we really living in a castle now papa?" You asked as you looked at your dad excited. "Yes we are sweetie, my princess deserves nothing less!" He says proudly, giving you a big grin.
"But do be careful my little princess," Your mother says, wiggling her fingers in that evil witch way she loves to do "They say the castle is haunted! Mischievous little ghost coming out at night and pulling all sorts of wicket pranks!"
"COOL!" You said, bouncing excitedly "I wanna catch some ghost!" You said seriously, looking up at your father. He looks pale and nervous "M-Maybe later when we are all moved in," He said and puts you down "Now, all your furniture is in place, but your toys are still in the boxes. So how about you move them to where you want them to go?"
You nod and run off to unpack your toys, books, and dresses.
"If you are so scared of ghosts why did we buy a haunted castle?" You hear your mother ask, to which your dad responds "Because it was cheap and you love spooky stuff."

Your parents were both well off in their careers. Your dad writes fantasy novels and your mother is a costume and dress designer. It really did give you the perfect fairytale childhood as they both feed into your creativity while still keeping you grounded.
It was how they afforded this big castle-like building. It was like a giant square. The whole building surrounding the courtyard which your tower window has a perfect view over.
And in the middle of the courtyard was a garden. It had all sorts of flowers and was obviously well-kept despite the castle having been abandoned for a while because of the supposed hauntings.
