Surprisingly Royal

👸Chapter 3: Banned

Mary's POV

what at all is keeping Ciara out so late at night " I say while walking around the house worried.

"What will i do if something happens to Ciara?I would probably get beheaded by the King ." i say to myself in panick

" it's been five days since she turned sixteen and yet still I haven't heard anything from her biological royal parents"

"What if they've come to take her away from me today and she didn't even bother to say goodbye? Or what if she has found out about her true identity and she is angry at me because i hid the truth from her all these years?" I say to myself whiles pacing around.

Ciara's POV

I know for sure that mum is soo mad at me for staying outside very late .
I say to myself while walking briskly back home

My house then comes to view and my heart starts beating so loud.
As i stand infront of the house I contemplate on what to say in order to make my punishment less because I know mum will definitely scold and punish me.

I finally gather the courage to open the door. As I slowly open the door, I find mum worriedly pacing around the sitting area while playing with her fingers,something she does when she is very disturbed.
I'm soo dead today. I sigh and close the door ready to face my fate.

She quickly stops when she notices my presence in the house.
Mum quickly runs to where I'm  standing and then hugs me tightly. she starts to check my body whether I'm  hurt or something.

"Do you know how worried I was?"

"Wait! are you okay ?are you hurt anywhere?"she questions me worriedly looking at my body.

"No mum I'm perfectly fine"

"why then did you stay out till this late huh?do you know how worried I was? i thought you had left me alone "she asks on the verge of crying.

" I told you that i was out with Emily, so there was no need for you to worry about my whereabouts.
And where will i go since i don't even have anyone apart from you?."

"You going to meet your friend doesn't mean you can stay out late young lady. what if something had happened to you on your way home? Every place is so dark, what if you were attacked by some bad people on your way? I would have never been able to forgive myself if anything bad happened to you." She says moving to the sitting area.

"That is why I'm  perfectly fine!! This is not even a big deal.  I can take care of myself" I say immediately regretting it.

"I beg your pardon!! the fact that you are now sixteen doesn't give you that right to talk back at me or tell me how to feel.
And also ,because you feel you are all grown up doesn't mean you are old enough to protect yourself
There are bad men out there who hurt people older than you so please spare me that nonsense"

"But mum,"

"And you know what? i think you need to stay home for a while in order for you to learn some common sense into that head of yours. no moving out and no friends for a while until you are given permission to do so"

"Oh mum, please don't do this. for these past days you've been acting all different towards me and then the next minute you are preventing me from going outside or seeing my friends .
Please don't do this... I will do any other thing but not this"I plead

"I believe this will be the best thing to do" she says averting her eyes from my direction.

"Fine then do whatever pleases you, you never cared about my feelings anyways. All what you care about are your selfish rules and that everything you say is right. I will do exactly as you say as usual."
I say very upset and I storm into my room,lock the door and fall on my bed crying myself to sleep.

Mary's POV

Ciara's words really pierced my heart.It made me feel like I'm the worst mother in the world but all I want is the best for her

Did i do the right thing or i overreacted?

I know for sure that she is very upset with me but then i think i made the right decision by banning her from going outside.  She is now sixteen and sooner or later the King will come to get her from this place, and I'm not sure he would like to find his daughter hurt or in any form of danger

I really want to go to Ciara's room to comfort her and also explain myself and my actions to her, but then it's highly impossible because I made an oath never to reveal her identity to anyone even to her.

So i just decide to go to bed without disturbing her in anyway.

I hope she will find a place in her heart to forgive me and understand my reasons when her identity is revealed to her.
