Truth of the Past

Cecile's Pov

So after the meeting with my father and silent conversation with my uncle, I am now standing off to the side while my uncle walks over to me after greeting and having a small conversation with my uncle.

"I finally get to meet you Cecile. I take it you know who I am." He says, his voice is deep and soothing to the ears.

"Yeah, I know you're my uncle," I say nodding my head with my arms crossed. "But I want to know, what was my mother like? Mary never told me much about her because for one, I didn't know who she was until recently. And two, it was hard for her to talk to me about."

"We can talk about this a different time. But I'm sure you are wondering about the reason why you are being targeted right now, right?" He asks reading my mind. True, I did want to ask him about this, but I wasn't sure if I should bring it up just yet so I nod.

"Yeah, was it the south kingdoms queen?" I say taking a guess.

"You are correct." He nods his head with a grim look. "She always knew that you survived so she sent people out to kill you. I'm surprised that she immediately sent her son after you though without confirming that you are actually the forgotten princess. But then again, you do look just like Celeste." He looks at me with distant look in his eyes, probably seeing my mother in me.

"So?  What is the truth behind everything.  I'm sure there's more to everything than what I was told."  I ask him.

"Ha, straight to the point  huh."  He says then looks around.  "If we are going to talk let's go somewhere else."  I nod my head and we both leave the ballroom without anyone noticing.  We sneak out of the castle and deep into the woods far away from the castle.  He leads me to a small wooden house and opens the door for me.  I step inside and am surprised to so Kenta.

"Eh, what are you doing here Kenta?"  I ask my roommate.

"Kenta is a guard I sent here to find and protect you," my uncle says closing the door.  Kenta nods his head confirming this.

"Yeah, I also was reporting to William about what was  going on in your life, who you have met, how you have been doing, etc." Kenta grins.

"Seriously," I say surprised.  Kenta nods and Uncle William looks away slightly blushing.

"Anyways, let get back on track.  I don't have much time before they notice that I am gone so I am going to tell you about how and the reason why your mother, my sister, died."

"Alright, please tell me what happened."

(A.N. Wait, did I ever talk a little about the past of when Cecile was born?  I completely forgot... anyways I'll go look though it later and tell you next chapter if I needed to change something but for now take a peak at the past.  It's going to be short and simple so sorry, I have no inspiration yet to figure out their past so yeah.)

"I should probably first tell you about your mother and father.  They were both deeply in love when they were young.  So all the grown ups decided that they would get married because both families would benefit from the marriage and also to make them happy.  But Delilah was also in love with your father at the same time.  Delilah was extremely jealous of your mother, but she never seemed like a threat at that time so no one paid much attention to her.  Also she disappeared for a almost  a year.  She did nothing and even attended their wedding, telling them congratulations and she also had a child of her own but no one knew who her child's father was. And well, you after their wedding your mother was pregnant with you." Uncle William sighs before continuing.  "Your mother, I don't know why but she knew that Delilah was playing on killing her.  Why she allowed herself to die and leave us though, I have no idea why.  So her maid took you from the kingdom and came here to raise after your mother told her to keep you safe and happy.  We don't know the details, but apparently there has been appearances of something evil since the time around your birth that's related to Delilah, and also your father so we have reason to believe he is being controlled, or somewhat controlled.  So th-," before he can continue, Kenta cuts him off.

"William, you have been gone too long.  I can tell her the rest later but for now we have to get back," he tells us and we nod.

"Alright, I suppose, plus we have to return to our kingdom.  I don't trust keeping Delilah here because of the events she planned with trying to kill you." He turns to the door and just before he opens it, he pauses and looks back at me.  "Cecile, I do hope one day when we figure out this mess, you can return home."  And without another word, he guides us back to the ballroom.

My mind is a mess from all the information and all that's happened this night, and to think it all began when I was just suppose to guard Linda today.  I sigh knowing that I wont be able to sleep well tonight and we get back to the ballroom where Irina is causing a scene screaming that she wants to be with the Sage.

"I love Prince Derek!  He is mine!  Why are you trying to take me away from him!"  She screeches.

"Irina!  Enough, quit acting like a spoiled child!"  My father tells her in a commanding voice but she ignores him.

"Prince Derek!"  She continues to scream.  I see Sage sighing with a frustrated look on face.  I pity him for being the center of her attention and love interest.  I can't help but laugh and Sage's eyes meets my own as he notices me laughing at him.  He glares at me and my father is now dragging Irina out of the castle.  The guards even had to help make sure she doesn't break free of his hold and run to Sage.  I look away from Sage still laughing when I notice Delilah staring at me with hatred in her eyes.  She then turns and leaves with my father.

Ling:  So here's the next chapter everyone.  The picture at the beginning is Cecile's dad I guess, I'm not really sure what picture to use for him so I'll just go with this.
