Chasing Sapphire

Part14: Butterflies

"Where are you manners Cassandra? She is my guest and no one have the right to say a word to her", king warns in harsh tone and leave the table so does the queen.

"Audrey teach you daughter some manners or else her this behaviour won't be forgivable again", The grand queen says and ask Aiden to come with her.

"Go to your room Cassandra and I don't want to see you out of the room until I say", William, her father said.
Cassandra rolls her eyes and went to her room.

"This is the second day here and she gave clearly disappointed everyone if she'll be like this then it's impossible that kind will agree her and Aiden marriage", Audrey said with a concerned look.

"Yes you're right you should talk to Cassandra".

I locked myself in room and didn't open. Few times Cadbury came and asked if I need anything.

I never wanted to be here in first place they kidnapped me they forcefully made me come here and I don't know why.

I might not know these fancy royal rules but no one got the right to insult me like this. If they disgust me so much for my manners they can throw me away I'm far more happier to be thrown away back to my village.

I missed father I don't know how he would be I missed everyone there.
I stood up from the floor and went to bed and took out the stone.

I held it tightly and wrapped my arms around myself and cried.

"Sapphire don't cry", a faint sound came from the stone.

"I want to go home", I said in sobs.

"You'll come back dear, don't worry I'm with you, you are not alone honey"

"How is father and everyone?", I asked.

"Everyone is fine, at first he was worried but now he's good he says you're in good hands", said the stone.

"How can I come back home?", I asked feeling peace knowing father is fine.

"Listen to me carefully....."

I felt more the better after talking to Louis by this strange stone, I made a mental note to ask him later about the stone.

The queen came in and I hid the stone under pillow. "How are you doing?", she asked in a concerned tone.

"I'm good, sorry for what happened earlier at table", I said looking down at the floor.

" oh no dear actually I'm sorry for what happened and you had to experience this all. Cassandra is so spoilt just excuse her", she said while sitting next to me.

"It's ok I don't mind", I said with a smile.

"Do you need anything?", she asked.

"No thanks...uh yeah I guess a need some jewellery wires", I asked nervously.

"Okay dear I'll send them", she said with a warm smile. I couldn't comprehend what it was but whenever I was with queen I never felt like she's not a queen she was so polite and loving I never had the hesitation feeling.

After a while she left two servants came with two boxes of jewellery wires and beads and instruments.
Woah that's too much.
