The physician came in and resealed my wounds. He told me to rest unless I have to do something important. He said that if I have to get up, then have someone help me move around because I can't stretch my stomach a lot. Daniel stood by the door inside my room, making sure I was okay. You would think he would try to get a new post position after what I did to him, but he stayed. The physician stood up, bowed, and walked out of the room. "Daniel, come here.",I demanded. His face turned red and he tried hiding it, I think he is embarrassed by what happened. "Yes My Lady?",he asked. "Tell the guards outside my doors to make sure nobody comes in until I say so. If they have a problem they can come in here and I will deal with them personally.",I demanded. His face was filled with worry, maybe for himself. I wouldn't blame him though, after what I did to him. I was thinking about doing it again because it felt nice, but I changed my mind. "Actually, forget that. Leave them alone. Instead, here me out.",I said. I sat up in my bed, and patted a spot on my bed. He walked over and sat down on my bed. "I wanted to apologize for earlier today... I thought that I was still dreaming, and that my actions didn't matter... but it wasn't a dream, I was actually awake. So, please forgive me.",I cried. "My Lady, there is nothing for me to forgive.",he smiled. I smiled back in reply, what is this feeling? I have never felt this way before. Clara walked through the door with a message in her hand. "My Lady... sorry to interrupt, but this is for you...",she mumbled. I hope this isn't a bad message. Daniel stood up, bowed, and started to walk out the door, when I was reading the message. "Daniel! Stop!",I shouted. He stopped dead in his tracks and turned around. "My brother is leaving the castle, and I need someone I trust to help me wish him goodbye because I can't walk on my own.", I cried. "Yes My Lady. I will help escort you to your half brother.", he bowed. He helped me out of bed, and led me to my dresser. I sat down, and Clara came over to do my hair. Daniel walked out because I was going to get changed. Clara helped me get dressed, and she walked out letting Daniel know that I was ready to go. He came into my chambers and helped me walk out of my room. We exited the west wing and headed down the staircase into the ballroom. Too many things happened in here... I stumbled and Daniel caught me, picking me up to finish walking down the stairs. When we got to the bottom, he set me down, helping me exit the castle. My brother was hugging my parents goodbye when he saw me coming over. "Astrid! You didn't have to come all the way over here. You need your rest!",He exhaled. I hugged him. "You really think that I would lay in my bed, while you left me here alone? Don't be foolish. I'm your sister, of course I'm going to come say bye!",I started bawling. I couldn't help it, we grew up together, did everything together. How could he choose to leave? "Your my HALF sister, and besides, you won't miss me when I'm gone. You have a whole kingdom to take care of, and yourself too.",he laughed. "I know, but still! I will miss you so much! Why are you leaving?",I cried. He wiped the tears away from my face. "Because your half brother is going to search for his own power, he is seeking to gain his own power in this world." Father stated. "Is that true?",I asked. I already told him that when I'm Queen, he will have the most highest position in my royal court. Why would he do this? "Yes, Father is right. I'm so sorry... I will be back when I find what I'm looking for. I promise.", he smiled. He wasn't convincing when he said that. I didn't want him to leave. "You already have found what you are looking for, remember what I promised you!?!",I screamed. I was upset, so upset that he was willing to leave me here. "I'm sorry, but this is something I have to do... I love you sis...", he said. He turned around and stepped into his carriage, leaving me here. Alone. "...I hate you for this!",I cried falling into my knees. "...but... I love you too...", I cried even harder. He left just like that. My mother only cried because I was broken hearted. She hated James because he wasn't her child, but she still accepted him into the family. Daniel helped me up, but he had to carry me back to my chambers. I was crying so much that I couldn't see clearly. I guess that was goodbye. Goodbye brother. Goodbye Prince James.
