When I woke in the morning, it was Nellie rushing in the room, ready to get me ready for the day. Everything I did was routine by now, but it felt different. I will not allow myself to fear the Scots. I chose a red dress, with red lips and gold details. Power dress. A golden crown with spikes, studded with expensive rubies
I then went down for breakfast, waltzing into the throneroom like I own the place. Now that everything is out, I feel like I cannot be touched.
"Hello Mariland, dear," I greeted Mariland, who looked like she had a horrible hangover, but still cordially smiled at me. She probably doesn't remember a thing she said last night. I turned to Cassian, giving him a light kiss on the lips, and linked our hands together. "Hello, Cassian"
He looked at me, bewildered. "Hello, love," he said, then returned to his food.
I dished myself some, before beginning to eat. Then Lorelei arrived at the table with Ezra. Cassian immediately started shooting daggers squeezing our still linked hands. I gave Ezra an extra friendly smile. He smiled back.
"Cassian" I looked at him, who was staring down Ezra. "I need to go back and rule my kingdom." I said, looking at him knowingly. "I have been gone long enough."
He stared at me for a second. "Oh." He looked at me. "Would you like me to come with you?"
I was startled. "If you would like to, I would love to have you along." I said, eyes full of admiration. "I can show you my kingdom."
"When shall we leave then?" He said, satisfied that Ezra was watching this.
"Today" I said, in all seriousness. Cassian almost spit out his food. Ezra's eyes flicked between us with curiosity.
"As you wish, my love."

After about two hours, we were packed. Mariland ordered about half the palace guards to go along, for safety's sake. We set out in a carriage, the journey would take about two days all together.

After a bumpy ride, but an enjoyable one,  I arrived at the castle and looked around. It looks miserable compared to Scotland. My first order now that I'm back would be to start building entertainment. Maybe also to expand. I showed Cassian around, and once we got to the meeting room, a surprise was there.
I barged in, to the guards surprise. "Georgia," I said, smiling slyly. "What do we have here?"
Georgia went pale. She had been in the middle of making plans to take over part of the kingdom. Treason.
She immediately started stuttering, the rest of the members of the council went pale. I motioned for the guard at the door to come over.
"Guard, restrain Georgia. Throw her in jail. Life." The guard complied with ease. "Send four more guards up here, and I want my general here immediately."
Only ten minutes later, my general Eulysis was here, accompanied by four guards. My general is a tall man with a brown mustache. About forty. He bowed once.
"Welcome back, my queen. You have been missed" His eyes darted to Cassian, who looked the picture of ease. "May I inquire who this is?"
"Of course, general." I took his arm, "This is Crown Prince Cassian Willamer of Scotland. My fiance."
"Congratulations, my Queen" He said to me, before turning to Cassian "Wonderful to meet you."
Cassian nodded back.
"General Eulysis." I said "I want a theater immediately built in a main part of town. I also want a festival to be held, for my engagement. I want plants planted everywhere around the gardens, brighten it up. Gather everyone in the town square tomorrow at nine AM. I want everyone in this meeting in jail."
The general nodded once before departing.
