After that day, Anastasia moved out without telling her parents. She wasn't giving them the silent treatment, Alethea told her the portal to the witch kingdom was giving a lot of problems and using a car or taking a carriage would take too long.
Before leaving, she left a note. She ain't being the start of a huge misunderstanding like her sister. Cassandra didn't leave one when she decided to move out. She thought her parents would catch on to the fact that she was moving out. Oh mama, her parents panicked so badly and issued a warrant of a thousand gold coins when they couldn't find her anywhere.
They found her squishing a pup's face in her best friend's mansion.
Currently, Anastasia was reading one of the complaints of the kingdom. The resources were becoming lesser and lesser by the day and these idiots didn't have something called being conservative and cautious in their dictionary. The forest area was getting lesser as the population was increasing and covens being made every day.
She blew out her breath and signed another request for a coven. She closed her eyes and laid her head against the chair. Someone knocked on the door and she asked them to come in. The door opened with a nervous Alethea.
"Your highness?"
"Yes?"
"Umm, the twins have arrived here." She sat up straight in confusion. "Did my mother come too?"
"No, just the twins with their nanny."
"Send the twins in."
------------
"Now what are you little shits doing here? Trying to distract your big sister? Hmm?" Stellamaris and Zenobia blinked. They didn't know what their big sister was saying. Alethea panicked. Her highness is cursing in front of the twins and none of them wanted the twins' first word to be a curse word.
Anastasia picked up Stellamaris and sat her on her lap. "Huh? Are you trying to distract your big sister with your cute faces? Huh?" Alethea was so awkward. Her highness was talking in a baby voice and blowing raspberries on the twins' stomach. Your highness are you possessed? Why were you so cool before and now a total softie?
Anastasia read Alethea's mind and spoke. "What? Do you have a problem with me being a softie with my younger siblings?" Alethea panicked, "No your highness!"
"Then?"
"It's kind of weird with you being a softie when you exclude an aura that steers people away. I mean no offense!"
Anastasia rolled her eyes. "Why does everyone think I'm a cold-hearted person because I have a resting bitch face all day and an aura that says fuck off?! I fucking hate this stereotype!"
Alethea yelled in her mind, Your highness stop cursing!
"Okay! Okay! I won't curse!"
The twins started laughing and clapping. Anastasia smiled and made funny faces at them. She covered her face.
"Where's your sister? There she is!" They burst out laughing. Alethea excused herself and went out. Oh my gods she witnessed a different side of her highness and it's too awkward for her!
The nanny was standing just beside the door with the same of hers. "So you saw her highness playing with twins?"
"Yes."
"You feel what I feel?"
"Yes."
The nanny shuddered. "Happens every day. You don't know how awkward it gets for everyone."
"What's your name then?"
"Ismeria, yours?"
"Alethea."
