Now before Anabel left she had tipped the queen of the unfortunate events that had occurred hoping somehow the queen would deal with it and she would. She wouldn't just deal with it, she would fix it by fixing Adeline who was an absolute feral beast on a rampage that needed to be put on a leash For far too long she had allowed her to be lazy and do as she pleased out of sympathy for the girl but now it's time that she grew up

The servant came to replace my untouched meal. I had planned to starve myself but that didn't work out, I couldn't even drop the weight. "You can't even die properly ...but then again what can you do right?" It was the voice again, in my head I heard them over and over.

"Your darling Aldric doesn't want you anymore and you pathetically tried your shot on you slave...how sad Sammy" I raised my head because I hadn't heard that name in a long time "Yes you poser, you are no Adeline just a silly girl parading around with her name and body. Do you honestly believe you deserve anything that has come your way? Nothing belongs to you, not your prisoner mother, not your lover Aldric, not your slave Daruis, and defiantly not the title princess of the fae, fairy, and fae folk, that all belongs to Adeline. Name one thing that you have done in the name of Faerieland, name one time that you had put the effort of showing that you are worthy of the royal blood that you carry...nothing absolutely nothing. Go home Sammy, go home to your single sad miserable life, go back to Lily and to the art museum where you aren't a waste of space, Oh wait, you can't go back. You not even wanted there, you not wanted anywhere..." then the voice began to laugh

I hated how the voice was right. I screamed and cried and started to bang my head into the wall until the voice would stop and it did...When I finally blacked out

"My king your advisers would like to have a word"

"Let me finish dressing then call them in"

The servant bowed but before she could even turn around my advisers barged in, boiling red with their veins bulging at their necks. It was clear that I was about to receive an earful. "You Highness, I am afraid that there is no respectful way to say this but have you given our kingdom's freedom to the people that we fought so hard to take it back from? I am livid, our Kingdom is already a joke as it is yet we are the very first court to become an independent kingdom that isn't under the command of the fairy kingdom or the fake leader of the fae. Our people are ashamed that they come from this kingdom and are even running away, laughing at us, or trying to dethrone you. Do you not see what is wrong with all of this?" Derek had finished on a high note his voice cracking from emotion. My maids had just finished dressing me and were now doing my make-up.

"Maybe there is a way to turn to change the tides. Your Highness your marriage with the princess could be used to our advantage" Philip sighed and turned to me

"Are you hearing yourself? Our people will riot at the news"

"Now, Derek you are too angry to see things Have a seat" replied Philip while pulling out a chair for Derek "Brother hear me Yes it might seem all bad but take a look at the opportunity that this situation brings us. He marries the princess and gains access to learn of the kingdom, he'll represent us." Philip was all smiles compared to his brother

"Only you forget the princess too is a joke"

"You may leave, I'm off to see the queen" Both in unison showed their surprise but I left before they could interrogate me

What they spoke wasn't new to me. I spent days in isolation thinking of ways that I could keep my promise to my love. My priorities have changed and I'm no longer fixated on my revenge, I have failed and it's futile to try again now I'm fixated on my kingdom's recovery and my reputation. The one thing that my parents left me is breaking in front of me and I have to fix it.

There he entered, though a little different from our last meet "Your Highness to what do we owe the pleasure of your visit"

"Cut the false greetings...where is Adeline"

"Oh my wife is currently resting but I'll be sure to mention your visit"

"What?"

"Yes wife, sorry you missed the wedding it was all so very sudden"

"How did you do it?"

"Pardon me, Your Highness?"

"Well we had been solitary and our history was remembered how there was genuine devotion before..." I cut him off, I wouldn't get the answer that I'm looking for in him. I had to get Adeline back to clarify all this absurdity

"You know I thought to myself that Adeline has been concealing in the shadows for too long so I thought I might host a ball in praise of her return, Well I can't have a ball without the star herself can I?"

The prince smiled and nodded "We'll be there...tea?"

"No thanks, I wasn't planning on staying" "How sad hope next time you'll stay a bit longer" "Maybe"

I rode back to the surface on a seahorse and immediately popped my bubble of oxygen. "Gerry I think that soon night will be one exceptional night"
