Chapter #7
Last Chapter:
I took in another breath before saying, "My parents then came to check on me because Ren told them I was feeling well. We talking through the door for a few and then they came into my room. I yelled at them both for not trusting me and then I told them that they needed to reflect on their actions. So I left and made sure to tell them where to find me once they both had reflected."
-------------------------------------------------------
(Note - Just imagine that the picture above it Kai and Maria and that it is sunny out)
It was then silent in the room for a couple of moments and then his Majesty said "Maria, I understand where you are coming from but maybe you should have given them more chances before deciding to leave again."
I was about to say something but Professor Heine cut me off by saying "I agree. Princess Maria, your quick judgement of things is something you need to work on. But think of it this way; image if you had a kid who ran away for 3 years and when they came back and you put guards under their window to keep them from doing it again. But your not doing because you don't trust them but to keep them safe?"
I then say "Father told me that they were there to keep me from running away again."
I heard Heine sigh and that was when his Majesty said "What Heine is trying to say is that; your father put the guards there, yes to keep you from running away again but also to protect you. The day you left, you showed them how easy it was to enter and leave the castle from any balcony so the guards are not there because they don't trust you but for everyone's safety as well."
I then look away from his Majesty saying "I didn't see it that way." By now more tears were coming down my face as I thought about how quickly I jumped to a conclusion on the subject.
His Majesty then said "Maria, why don't you go and calm down somewhere and I will send a letter to your father and let him know that he can come and get you."
I nodded my head and stand up from the chair as I say "I'm sorry for causing so much trouble for you." His majesty then gives a laugh as he says "It's alright and don't worry about your bags, I'll have a maid bring them to your room."
I nodded my head once more and leave the room and make my way to the tree that Kai and I are always found under. Once I reached the tree, I saw that Kai was already there sitting on the ground as if he was waiting for me to show up.
I walk up to him and sit next to him; I then put my head on his shoulder saying "Were you waiting for me, Kai?" He nods his head to my question and then just like that; Kai grabs my waist as he falls back onto the ground.
I let out a small laugh at this; I then close my eyes as I listen to the sound of Kai's heart beat. It was making me a little sleepy and then just like that, I fell asleep with my head on Kai's chest and with Kai's around my waist keeping me in place.
I don't know how long Kai and I were sleeping outside for but I do know that it was long enough for when we both woke up, it was pitch dark out and the only light was the moon and the castle.
Both of us walked back to the castle, hand in hand but neither of us said anything. When we made it to the room where Kai gets his lessons, I opened the door to find the princes and Heine.
Bruno then said "There you are brother! You had us all worried about you! Also, Maria what happened to your hair?!" I then looked in the mirror to see that I had bed hair, I laughed and then flatten it as I said "Kai and I fell asleep in the garden, sorry."
I then looked back at them after my hair was flattened out, that was when Heine said "Of course you two were in the garden." I give him a smile as I walked over to one of the chairs and sit down in it as everyone else sits either on the couch or in a chair.
"Maria what happened this morning?" I heard Licht ask me. I look at them all and just as I was about to say something, Heine cut me off by saying "She got into a fight with her parents but they will be coming to get her soon. A letter has been sent out, it will take 2 days to get there and then it will take her family 3 days to arrive."
I sigh as I say "So I will be leaving once again in five days." Heine nods his head as I look at my hands saying "They most likely hate me this time around; I said such hurtful things to them before I left."
Bruno then said "Don't jump to such quick conclusions before you have seen them again." I let out a light laugh as I said "I'm always doing that it seems." Professor Heine then said "You are."
We sat in silence for a few until I heard Kai say "It will be alright, they will forgive you."
I give a slight smile to his words as I say "I don't think that is going to happen this time around. I think I showed them a side of me that they never thought I had. I full out yelled at them without even a moment notices that it was going to happen."
"Princess Maria, stop thinking so much about the subject. Everything will be fine; his Majesty said so himself that everything will be alright. You all just need to think more about one another and how each of you feel. I understand that it seems as if they don't trust you but maybe you should have stayed longer so they could get to know the new you before running off." Professor Heine said to me.
I then looked at him saying "I do not believe that they want to get to know the new me. As for staying longer, I don't think I would have lasted a week there." Leonhard then said "Why not?"
I look at the ground as I said "I felt like I was suffocating in that castle; all of the guards, unfamiliar faces, the rooms, my new bedroom, the halls, the outside of the castle, the garden, and everything else. It didn't feel like the home that I grew up in or the one that I grew to love so much as a child."
Heine then said "You have been living here for 3 years and the connections that you have here are not the same ones that you have with your family. That is understandable due to you not having seen your family in such a long time. But you need to let them have time to get to know the new you before acting like this."
I then look at Heine as I say "You're making it sound as if I was a child." Professor Heine then said "That is because you are acting like a child for this situation."
I give Heine a blank faced look as I said "I am not." Heine then said "But you are Princess Maria; you're acting like one right now as well."
My face then went red with embarrassment as he said those words to me. Then before anyone could say anything else, I stood up from my chair and said "I'm going to go to my room for the rest of the night, goodnight."
With that, I turned around and walked out of the room before anyone could say anything else or even get a chance to say goodnight back to me.
Once I made it to my room, I changed into a nightgown and closed the curtains. After that I made my way to the bed and got under the covers and closed my eyes and let sleep take over.

So until the next chapter or chapters,
