It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.

Rose did not want to stay in her room the whole day. Not after yesterday at breakfast at least. Rose still could not believe how she acted yesterday, especially raising her own voice to her own father. Last night would have been the worst nights of her life.

Yes she was scared. Scared to speak to her father again, scared to even face him again. But if she stayed in her chambers they must believe that something is wrong. With a sigh Rosalie rose up from her sleeping position and stood up. Just in time for Juliet their servant, came knocking in with a towel on one hand and a set of new clothes on the other.

With a bow the servant said. "Your majesty your bath is ready"

She thanked Juliet and walked towards the bubbly bath tub. Rose stripped her clothes down and entered in the warm water.

"Is something troubling you your highness?" Juliet asked with concerned. She noticed that the princess was only staring at her reflection in the water.

"It's no problem I am quite fine Juliet" Rose smiled but it did not meet her eyes.

"I can assure you, there is something definitely wrong, is there not?" Juliet raised her eyebrows knowing whatever the situation was, was not 'nothing'. Years of been the maid of the young princess has not now declared her as a servant to Rosalie but a friend.

"You are my trusted friend Juliet. Of course you would know how I feel" she chuckled lightly.

"Is it about the argument with you father the other day?" She whispered saying her father's name.

"How did you know?"

"The castle walls do not block out the sound from the rooms and your father was very loud" Juliet giggled.

"I wonder what made his voice boom so loud?" The servant woman wondered.

"That would have been me Juliet" she confessed. "I was the reason why my father talked in such ways"

The servant stopped washing the princess hair and raised her eyebrows.

"You? Whatever would you have done to make your father angry?"

"Yes it was me. I started the topic of the 'other kingdom' and he kind of went all out on me" the girl explained.

"Miss, you do know that he does not like to talk about those soulless creatures of the night" Juliet mentioned as she continued washing Rose's golden brown hair.

"That's not all. I didn't get up to the part when I defended those angels and asked my own father to teach them our ways"

"You what?" Juliet asked, gobsmacked. "You majesty with respect they are demons of the night. There's a reason why we call them 'THE FROZEN ONES' not angels Rosalie. They are vile, cruel and ruthless".

After her 'talk' with Juliet, the princess glide through the marble floors to enter the dining room. She sat quietly and noticed that no one looked or spoke to her as she sat.

All eyes were looking directly on their plates.

She had the courage to look up at her father's eyes but the king's eyes did not meet hers, instead he was eating away while reading and signing papers.

No one dared to look at each other nor spoke one word.

Just an empty silence. An awkward empty silence.

Not handling the tension between the family, Rose got up from her seat, excusing herself.

She walked towards the doors as the heavenly guards opened the large door. Knowing all eyes was now on hers.

Walking back to her chambers, Rose pulled out a dark red dress that reached up to the princess skinny ankles. Behind the wardrobe she pulled out her black boots that she would not normally wear in front of her family due to the fact that they will scold her for wearing such unladylike clothings. Next she pulled out a dark red cloak that she immediately worn the hoodie over her head.

She walked out her doors carefully and normally, not trying to bring attention to her.

Rose walked down the halls quietly then finally made it to the exit doors with two guards,guarding the doors with weapons holding on tightly in their grasp.

"I'm going out!" She told the two said firmly.

The guards looked at each other for a moment giving quizzitive looks that said something like 'Is she allowed?'. The guards looked at the young princess for a long quiet moment and gave each other a nod before opening the golden glass door.

With a small smile and a thank you she walked out of the gates but was stopped with a group of highly trained angels.

"Halt!" The commander says.

"What is this?Explain immediately!" She ordered.

"Apologies your majesty, but the king and queen has simply declared that no one especially the princess cannot go out on his or hers own".

King and queen? The young girl simply smiled and tilted her head getting in return puzzled looks from the commander and angels.

"Then you may accompany me" she finally said.

"Pardon miss?"

"I said you may come along with me, you said that the king and queen declared that no one can go out on his or hers own but I am not, you guards will be following with my every step."

"But mis-"

"Uh-uh I order you to" she said firmly.

"But of course your majesty" the commander bowed.

What's so bad about going out anyway? It's heaven, nothing is bad here right? I mean what's the bad thing that can happen?

"Exactly what Rosalie said, what is the worst thing that can happen?"
