I looked at the person in shock "What are you doing here. I mean you should know you are not supposed to be here."
She was a little scared by my tone but she still spoke firmly "Princess..."
As those words came out of her mouth my heart leapt and I placed a hand over her mouth before pulling her into the room. I closed the door behind her and said in a demanding tone "Ever don't call me that, you know I have left that status a long time ago and why are you here."
She lowered her head and said in a low voice "I am sorry princess, whatever you said was due to the reason we all know but we will always consider you as our princess and the future ruler. I am here because when I saw you come back to the world I could not help but follow you. Princess you are very important to us we can't lose you one more time."
This was like a nightmare but at least here I could use my position "The words I said when I left were all from my heart and when I said I will abandon the castle, I meant it so whatever you say will not change my mind and I am not coming back."
"But Princess we need you, the castle..."
"Enough Eve, you know it very well that you have broken the rule by escaping and you will be punished. I can go anywhere and there are no boundaries for me so you still dare to take the risk."
"Princess I am ready for any punishment as long as you are ready to come back, take the charge and punish me. Princess I accept death at your hands but your power and position is required to save the chaos..."
I raised my hand for her to stop speaking because I had made my decision years ago and right now her words were making my heart melt and I was missing that place because it was my home after all.
I made myself strong enough before speaking and since I was in the position in her eyes then I had to use it properly "Eve stop talking because I am tired of your words and listen to me carefully now I am not coming back and if you still consider me as your princess then I order you to go back without another word."
She finally made an eye contact with me and had a pleading look in her eyes and I could see that she had a lot more to say in order to convince me if only I allowed her to speak but because I gave her the order she could not say anything or she would be disrespecting me. The problem now was that the way she looked was too pitiful that I wanted to hug her but I could not so I said in my authoritative tone "Are you going to look me into the eyes now."
She shook her head and quickly turned around to leave with an apologetic gaze. I was going to close the door but then I remembered something and called her "Eve listen, sneak in quietly so you won't be punished and don't mention anything about me because you know I will change the place because you know about it and only you will get in trouble."
She nodded her head "Okay princess" and after giving a bow she left. I knew she won't mention anything to anyone for her own good so I checked into the room and lay down on the bed. A bitter smile crept on my face because now I was finally free but I felt empty inside. The feeling that had finally died inside my heart was now surfacing again but I was used to this so I closed my eyes and went off to sleep.
I was woken up by a nightmare with my head covered in sweat and this time no one besides me, it felt empty but good too as I knew that he would be safe now. I got up and took a shower to get rid of the fear and then after changing my clothes I went to the swimming pool that was inside the hotel.
I was wearing my swim suit so without waiting for anything I jumped right in and stayed under the water for a long time. It was my way of getting things off my head and as I could stay under water for a longer period than normal human beings it actually created a trouble for me because someone thought that I had drowned and came down to help me out.
When I saw a person coming towards me I realized what was wrong so before he could come and the thing could get complicated, I got out of the water and began to swim above it and I simply ignored that person. After a while I came out of the water and sat by the side of the pool with my hands resting on the floor and feet still in water.
I looked around and started observing my surroundings but I didn't look at any person in particular and was lost in my own world. Now that I was free I had to get back to my job that was to maintain everything in order in this world with the witches and wizards who were living with humans. I had to made sure that there was no chaos and I was sure there was something wrong since the last time I had taken notice.
While I was busy thinking about all this the man who had come under water to help me was swimming towards me and as I didn't want to be in contact with anyone I got up from the place and turned to go to my room after drying myself.
As I entered the lift, he came behind me and I knew that I could not escape this person.
