I walk toward my room and calmly think about what happened over dinner. I expected all of it and answered accordingly, but I was slightly surprised when Leo made comments. In my first life he just told them to calm down and eat. We didn't leave the dinner or kick them out, we just continued eating.
Does this mean that they won't come back for a while? I feel kind of sad for Louis though, she said that she wanted to see Snow in my last life because of how neglected she might feel. I don't want to have anything to do with that monster, When she came into my room...
Wait.....Is today....?
"Your Majesty, are you okay? Do you need some help?"
I look up and see a person standing near my door.
"No...w-what day is it?" I look up at the person with an aggrieved feeling. I try to soften my face when I see them flinch but it doesn't take long for an even more terrifying face to appear.
"It's Monday, Your Majesty, the festival is in two days."
I rush into my room and scream to the person that no one other than my husband is allowed to enter. But I already know that she'll find a way in. And Leo won't be here to stop her.
I feel a chill run down my spine as I hurriedly prepare for bed and lay down. Just as I get the covers undone I hear a knock on the door. I stare confusedly at it while I try to process who it might be. Snow didn't knock. She just came into my room and woke me up.
"Come in." I stand up and walk to my futon and sit down.
"Your Majesty, Princess Snow is here. Would you like to permit access?"
"No, please tell her that I am trying to sleep"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
I walk over to the door and look out. I immediately see the person from earlier.
"Who are you?"
"I'm your new personal guard. His Majesty hired me to protect you, whenever he isn't around. And don't worry I'm not the only guard, I'm just the one you'll see the most."
"Leo never told me about any new guards...what's your name?"
I suddenly feel an arm wrap around my torso. I quickly turn around to see Leo smiling down at me.
"I didn't want to tell you because I knew that you would deem it unnecessary. I want you to be safe now, so I hired them to protect you at all times."
"You really didn't need to. There aren't any problems in the kingdom now. Why would I need special protection?"
I look behind me, only to see that the person from earlier is already gone. I walk back into our room and lay on the bed. I feel Leo lay on the bed next to me so I snuggle up next to him and drift off.
