"Please stop!" Damin kept saying, but I kept going. I was going to enjoy this till my heart's content.

"What do you want from us?!" Amelia said while crying. 

I was only using Damin as an example in front of all of them. They were all huddled in a corner. Ford couldn't even do anything he was to scared. He was even the first one to wet his pants. I just laughed at that.

I stopped for a bit.

"I want you to let me out of here, even though I can probably get out of here myself by killing one of you, and I want to live in the castle given every right I want to do whatever. After a week I want you to recommend me to your king and make me into the general of your royal army." I said looking at Damin.

"We can't do that. The current general will need to die first before a replacement can come in," Ford said while stuttering.

"Then that will just have to happen wouldn't it?" I replied with a grin

"However I want it to be kept low that I'm the forgotten princess of Queen Bethany. You guys can do that right?" I said still grinning.

When none of them responded I held the whip high again ready to strike their elder brother.

"JUST DO WHAT SHE BLOODY SAYS!" Damin screamed.

"Deal?" I looked at all of them. They nodded their head. 

Before I walked out with them I kindly asked Amalia to give me her cloak and told Kailan (youngest daughter) to act as if I was her friend who would be staying for a while. She nodded quickly without hesitation.

The servants were looking at us with curious eyes while we were walking down the corridors, but went back to work when Damin threatened to fire them, they couldn't see the fear in his eyes as I was holding the wood knife against his back.

"This will be your room" Amelia said trying to put a smile on. 

I looked around. It was too big for my liking. An advantage to get attacked. 

"Will there be anything else you'll need er..." 

"No, however my name shall not be said at all times. I will be called Mary for the time being and if something were to lead to me I will kill you or someone without hesitation and that's a promise."

They nodded, "go" They closed the door and left. I went into the bathroom and looked at myself.

"Man do I stink and look hideous" I said to myself

I threw Amelia's cloak on the ground and took off the baggy rags that I was wearing. I turned on the water and waited for it to fill the bath while doing that I was also trying to detangle my hair but I found it better to just cut if off to shoulder length. 

I sat in the bath for a couple of minutes scrubbing every inch of my body. I could now see the scars that were all over.

I grabbed a towel and got out looking satisfied at myself in the mirror. I opened a door that was exactly the size room I wanted but turned out to be a walk in closet. I didn't remember seeing any room this big with a big walk in closest during my time. 

I went through everything and only saw dresses. What I needed was pants and a shirt. When I opened the drawers I saw tunics and leggings. 

I was dressed in a dark greenish tunic with a black belt. I slipped on a pair of black leggings and combat boots that I found in the back of the closet. 

I grabbed my wood knife when I heard someone knock on my door. 

I opened it a bit and looked at the maid standing there.
