Young Selene ran around the playroom, they were playing hide and seek. The nanny counted enthusiastically, smiling as the princess giggled trying to find a place to hide. The young curious girl ran out of the room. 

The hallways were large and open with marble stones and a lush red carpet decking the floors. Servants smiled shyly at the young girl. Two tall men stood on either side of the door, one man, in particular, smiled warmly at the small princess. He stood proudly, his dark chestnut skin complimenting the black uniform. His warm emerald eyes sparkling with gold. 

She giggled some more as she began walking down the hall, the guards following a few feet behind her. She was greeted with many smiles as she playfully explored the halls. The nanny called for the toddler in a panic and hurry. The dark-skinned guard raised an eyebrow before picking up the wandering princess.

Selene kicked and cried as she was carried back, she wasn't done exploring just yet. The guard placed the crying baby back into the nanny's arms were her cries turned to exhausted sobs. The nanny gave a grateful smile.

"Thank you, Evert Hayle." She said added, she hurried to the princess' room. The room sat untouched for the most part. A king-sized bed with a decorated frame sat untouched, a vanity sat on one wall, a tall mirror with the words, "Queen" carved at the bottom, eerie and old. 

The princess lay asleep in her small cot next to Queen Channary's abandoned bed.
