The Broken Castle

Chapter 1

One of the peasants approached the princess. "You can't start a fight like that!' he yelled. The princess stood up from her mother's throne and stared at the peasant."I am not starting any fights. Look over your attitude," replied princess Ella, with an unpleasant look on her face.

"If your parents aren't here, it doesn't mean you can do anything want to," the peasant continued talking. Ella was now really angry from what he just said. She walked up to him and kept staring at the peasant, without blinking.

"What do you mean by anything?" she asked and tilted her head to the side to show that she was curious to know the answer. The safeguards came closer, concerned; but princess Ella stopped them. The peasant grinned and walked away. Ella wasn't satisfied by what just happened, and walked to her mother's throne. "This is very comfy," she told herself to somehow calm herself down. The guardians went back to their places and froze. Ella took you her notepad and started writing down some important things.

Suddenly, someone knocked very loudly on the door like they were in a hurry. For some reason the princess thought that it was the peasant again because of his horrible attitude, but to just make sure Ella shook her head and tried to not think about him. "Come in!" Ella said loudly enough for the person or persons outside to hear her.

The huge door began opening, and a couple of more guards came in, holding some mysterious creature in their hands. They took of the creatures hat and it revealed a face if a demon guy who got mad at the guards for taking off his hat. He turned his head to face the princess and gasped. The demon seemed to have quite a lot of scars all over his body, especially the face. It kind of worried Ella but she didn't seem to really care about it. "Goodmorning my highness," the mysterious demon said while creating a low, sweeping bow the moment the saw her. Princess Ella raised an eyebrow and smiled. She didn't expect such a creepy guy to be this nice to her. "What bring this gentleman here?" she questioned, also putting down her notebook. Some of the watchmen chuckled right after Ella said it. One of the guards who was holding a sword stepped closer.

"This is-" the guardian started speaking, but before he could finish the boy somehow freed himself from the guards to get closer to Ella, but she didn't move a bit. "-Adam. My name's Adam Vess," he continued and the guards trapped him again, but Adam didn't seem to mind it."Right," the princess said. "What has he done?" she asked out of curiousity. Of course every royal person would want to know what that person has done. Adam smirked and looked at the ceiling."He robbed a lot of banks and shops around here. We finally caught him," the guard that is the closest to Ella replied. Ella stood up and approached them. She wanted to get a closer look at Adam.

"Really? Him?" she kept questioning them but didn't expect an answer from anyone. "Where's the money?" Ella asked and the guards who were holding him shrugged. Ella looked dissapointed and grabbed Adam's chin, then pulled his head down so he will be facing her. Adam is about a head taller than her so Ella had to kind of jump to reach his head. He smiled like nothing happened and the princess looked angry, but cute. "Where is the money?" she repeated, in an angrier tone.

Adam put his hands up and raised his eyebrow. "In a safe place," he responded and winked. Ella was so mad an impatient she decided to slap him out of nowhere. "Ow, princess, I thought you were a gentle creature," he said."And I thought you're a gentleman. Now tell me, where is the money?" she asked in a nicer tone. Ella is actually a really nice demon, which is a bit weird for others around here."Well, it's in my secret plac-" Adam said but before he could finish his sentence, Ella slapped him again.
