One thing she loved about the castle was the secret passages. The narrow hallway was the quickest route from the different areas of this enormous structure. Therefore, Annette liked to use it to move around the palace without being seen.
As far as she knew, no one knew about it except her and her father. Or at least nobody used it anymore, as far as she knew, except her. She had never noticed anyone else lurking on that dark, narrow pathway.
But she liked it that way. It was her secret to keep to herself. Not even her brother knew about it. She remembered her father's promise never to tell him about it.
"It will be something special between us." The King whispered to her ears, making her feel special.
She remembered the day that her father showed it to her. She cried all day because she wanted to join her father and brother on their hunt.
