Chrystalya greeted the guards. They looked puzzled and anxius. They knew that the person in front of them was the famous "Ice queen". But they recieved orders from the new ruler so they couldn't do anything else.
"Princess... forgive our rudeness but... we have to escort your highness to the tower..." The young guard spoke up firs. He was dazed since it was his first time seeing Chrystalya upclose.
Her body matured a lot in the last seven years. Chrystalya looked like a finely crafted doll. The corner of her eyes where slightly tilted upwards giving her an always cold and confident look. Her blue hair flowed down her shoulders like clouds. Slightly vawy and so long that it reacher her tights. The dress that she was wearing hugged her body lightly. It wasn't tight fitted but not baggy either. It showed her shapes in the right places.
"Of course. Please escort me." Chrystalya nodded. She gracefully started walking.
She couldn't let her pride as a royal to be destroyed. Also... what would it change if she fought back? The only thing that would do is to get dragged away by force. That would be a disgrace.
The guards followed her and they soon arrived to the tower.
In the small cell there was only a chair. Nothing more and nothing less.
Chrystalya slightly raised her skirt up to step into the cell. She then sat down on the chaur and raised her cold gaze to the guards.
"What are you waiting for? Lock the door already." The guards come to their senses and hurriedly locked the cold iron door.
Even though she was held captive the guards still obeyed her.
Chrystalya closed her eyes.
It was a good idea to work on the original Chrystalya's personality. She was a a spoiled princess and she was also deeply hurt. Everytime her saddness took over she trew tantrums to get attention from the maids and guards. As a result they all started to hate the young princess. That was the reason why her life ended in such a misserable way. She had no one who even wanted to protect her or wanted to be her ally.
Henae started to improve her behavior. She become kind to the maids and always thanked for their hard work. She usually gave cookies to the guards as a present. First they where suprised and didn't know where to put these thing she did but they slowly got used to it. She studied hard to become the perfect crown princess and future empress.
And it all paid off. The only bad thing was her nick name the "Ice Queen". Chrystalya got this name because she never smiled. She was kind but nevet smiled. It was a habbit from her life as Henae. Or to be preciles it was a condition rather than a habbit.
Chrystalya spent the next few days thinking about her future and how she should solve everything without dying. She now had allies. She only had to wait until her son was born and was old enough to travel. Then she would escape a neighboor country.
After six days guards came to escort her to the main palace.
