"WHO LET YOU GO HERE!?"

Ms. Nyla walks in.

Shit, we quickly let eachother go and give eachother space. We stayed quiet.

"Because neither of you won't tell me, the day of the cordanation, Maid Sarah will be prosicuted for disobeying the crown."

"NO!" I get up.

"She didn't do anything, don't make her pay. It was me. Me I tell you, don't make her pay" I set down on my knees pleading Ms. Nyla.

She wasnt taking it.

"A Queen never cries or pleads for mercy. Get on your feet girl."

I stand up.

"The prosicution must go on, every person in the village will see. Fear the crown. Disobey and off with their head!"

She pinches my ear and drags me out.

"You are not to speak to your boy toy ever again!"

"But!"

"No arguments, he is to be kicked out of the castle and sent back home! That is what happens when you disobey the crown, be happy his head isn't being cut off!"

"Nyla can we just-"

"MS. NYLA!"

"Ms. Nyla! Can we just talk about this!?"

She's now pulling me by the hair, tears are streaming down my face.

"There is nothing to talk about!"

She throws me into my room.

I roll across the floor.

"Ms. Nyla-"

She slams the door shut and locks it. This went terribly wrong.

Maid Sarah, I am so sorry. I say into her mind, which fortunatly was just in distance.

It's fine dear.

No its not, I've tried to talk her out of it, she won't listen. Now I can't see Elliot anymore. Ever! I'm so so sorry!

I'm fine dear, I knew it was going to happen.

Than why did you do it?

I'm a elderly lady Princess, I have nothing else to do with my life. I have grandchilderen I never see. My husband died ten years ago... It's my time.

No its not, Maid Sarah, I'm so sorry.

Princess I need to tell you something important. About your Aunt Nyla.

What is it?

Your mom is Nyla's older sister, therefore your mom took the crown. When she did, your aunt Nyla was jealous, she thought she would be a better ruler. She thought your mother never cared, apparently your mother was stupid. And when your mother found her mate and had you and your brother, she died soon after. Your aunt Nyla, she killed her. She sent out those men to kill your father and to kill you. But they had something better in mind for you. To take you hostage. To use and beat you. Your aunt Nyla finally had the throne. She treated us all with no respect. And when we found out you were alive. The village buzzed with exsitment, but Nyla was furious. Us villagers sent those men to find you and take you home. Be very careful Winter. Nyla might be after you to.

Maid Sarah?

Yes Princess.

Is Winter my true name, the one my parents chose?
