Without waiting for an answer, I went into the locker room.
It was a perfect dress. I liked it.
But looking at the price, I almost fainted.
- Whale! Well, this is so much money!
- Does not matter.
“So you pay for everything.”
“Daphne Harris pays for everything.”
Really? Why? I have so many questions, I hope I can talk about them with Queen Daphne. If it doesn’t work, then I will try.
In the end, I went out in a dress in front of Keith. I saw him looking at me as if I were looking at a unicorn. I let out a laugh, which Keith coughed up and looked at me.
“Let's go,” he took my hand.
The trace of his smile and enthusiastic eyes disappeared. Now in front of me stood the man whom I met on the roof. Just bright green eyes that are insanely attractive.
- Kit, it hurts me! Whale! Let it go! I screamed and fought.
He looked at me and his hand, in the end, he released it. He looked at me tenderly.
“Sorry, guilty,” he said and went on.
- So now we are in the palace?
- Namely, we are in the palace.
“I will finally see the queen.” Wait, who are you? Why did you bring me here and not someone else?
“I'm Queen Daphne's confidant.” I was sent for you only because I trusted. No one should know about your return. You are dead.
I know everyone thinks that Princess Nicole has died for 17 years.
“The anniversary of your death is coming soon,” said Kit suddenly.
Now I was in shock
- K-when? “I could cry now.”
I would never have thought that they would celebrate my death anniversary when I am alive. Yes, it’s never been in my thoughts. It was unthinkable. How can you celebrate the anniversary of the death of your daughter when you know that she is alive, that she breathes and eats, that she is a normal child.
“If I'm dead, then why am I here.”
“Most likely your mother wanted to see you.” And, probably, after that you will return home again ... ”he said, and putting me on a horse, we flew.
I'll be back home again. Where the fake mom is waiting for me. I can’t even call her mom now. It just hurts me. Creepy. She deserves to be considered my mother because she has endured my cold for all these years. But still…
- We met once, do you remember that? - Kit suddenly spoke up.
“No, I don't remember you.”
I am now completely not up to it. The words of Whale are in my thoughts. Soon the anniversary of my death. Of death. God, what are you doing this? To kill or insult? What have I done? If ... if they send me home again, then I don’t want to see the queen who will betray her daughter, leaving her alone again.
“Kit, I want to go back,” I said, and he looked at me furiously, “If I go to the queen, I can’t leave her.” Here I found peace that I won’t harm anyone else with my cold! But ... but ... - I sobbed, screamed, prayed, but he did nothing, he was not calm, but it seemed that Kit was about to release all the steam.
“I thought so, I didn’t have to look for you, I didn’t have to persuade the queen to see you.” I regretted it. Come on, I'll accompany you.
His words reached me slowly, and when the basis of his words reached me, I opened my eyes.
- What?
- Never mind.
- No, it’s very important. Did you persuade the queen to meet me? Why? What a ...
- Shut up! I just wished you good, no evil. To die without having seen his mother is cruel.
“Explain,” I demanded.
There were thousands of thoughts in my head about why I could no longer see her.
“It's been 17 years since you left.” At that time she was 18 years old. Now she is 35, she can die early ...
“What ... to die?” My voice was hoarse and I could no longer stand on my feet.
- You know, a month ago a doctor came to us and told the results of the examination. It turned out that the Queen is sick. She can die even today or even after many years. Everything is confusing. Do you understand?
“No,” I finally fell into the snow.
“Come on, maybe this is your last chance to see her.” I would not miss it.
He picked me up and put me on a horse.
I don’t remember how we flew there, but at that moment when I “woke up”, we were already close to the castle. Something strong throbbed in my heart. This is the pain that the Queen inflicted on me in infancy. I do not remember the events that occurred then, and in general, how I could remember in 1-5 months. It is impossible for a person.
“Arrived, come down,” said Kit.
But I ignored him. I went down without his help, although the dress disturbed me insanely.
Before me stood a forest. A dense snowy forest with a path that seemed to have no edge, but there was an edge.
If I could disappear somewhere now, I would do it, but I do not have such abilities.
- You are walking?
“Yes,” I answered shortly and went forward.
Queen Daphne, there is a maximum of 20 minutes left before I get to you.
Meet me, your daughter.
I have arrived.
