You sobbed on the floor, knowing you had become the victim of a war you thought had ended, of a grudge you thought had dissipated. You sobbed because you feared you could never have a life with your family again. Instantly, you missed your parents and your royal staff and your friends. In your mind, you shout to yourself,
'Why me?! Why?! What did I do... What did I do to deserve this!!'
Which only caused you to sob more...

Then someone picked you up. It was the grey lizard. He had picked you up like a father would his daughter, his hand on the back of your hips and his other arm holding onto your back, your head against his chest.
He carried you to a room with a large window and a comfortable looking bed and sat you down in it. He tried to let go, but you gripped his back tightly and sobbed harder. You didn't even know who he was, but you just needed someone to cry onto...

The lizard creature didn't seem to care. He just say down and let you cry. After you had slowed down to hiccups and squeaks, he said,
"Would you like a tissue."

You nod and he lets go of you. He walks out of the room and returns with a box of blue tissues. You immediately grab one and clear your nose. You wipe your cheeks and look at him.
"What's your name..." you murmur.
He looked confused. You assume he didn't hear you so you say it a bit louder.
"I asked for your name.."
He inhaled a bit, then said,
"Toffee, but you probably know me as, The Lizard."
You gasp slightly. He turns around and begins to walk out, but you call out to him.
"W-Wait! Toffee!"
He stops.
"Please, tell me, be honest with me... Did you really kill Moon's mother?"

...

"To-"

"No, I didn't...but I don't expect you to-"

"believe you?" you interrupt. "But I do, Toffee! I believe you!"

Even though you can't see his face, you see him straighten up m in shock. He turns to look at you.

"...I'm already impressed." he says and walks out, closing the door behind him with his tail.

You lay on your back and shuffle around a bit. Luckily Eclipsa didn't give you a tail, or else you would be majorly uncomfortable right now. You sink into the soft, cool pillow under your head and fall asleep...

The next morning you was awoken by the knock on the doors.
"Huuh?" you groaned. Your (clr) hair was a mess from tossing and turning in constant nightmares and the sheet you was lying on had large amounts of rips and tares in it. The knock at the door came again.
"This isn't my castle...I'm not sure why you're knocking..."
You put the pillow over your head as the doors opened. You heard the click-clack of fancy shoes hitting the floor. Instantly you knew it was Toffee and something inside you fluttered a bit.

You peeked out from under the pillow and looked up at Toffee, who was holding a tray.
"Would you like some breakfast, Princess." he said blankly, as always.
"Uhm..." in fear of eating awkwardly in front of him, you deny, but your monster stomach growls in rebuttal.
Toffee just looks at you and hides a small snicker.
"QmQ Yes, I would love breakfast..." you say miserably.
Toffee just smirks and sets the tray down on a small nightstand that is beside the bed. You hadn't noticed it the previous night, but it's pretty obvious why. He turns around and leaves you to eat in peace.

Looking at the tray, you see three large fish on it. Usually, this would disgust you, but your stomach growled loudly and urged you to eat them. For some reason you didn't seem to afraid to eat them, even though they looked raw, and you eagerly began to down your fishy breakfast. It had to have been due to the spell, because it was the best food you've ever had.
Soon after you finished your food, curiosity kicked in. Walking to the large, oak doors of the room, you thought about what might be behind them and how large this castle was. Buuuut, your questions had to wait for another day, because, you guessed it!

The doors were locked :3
