Chapter 10 - What Treasure Island?

After having a bath, Princess Izabelle went through the walk-in closet but there was nothing suitable for a princess in there. She was a hostage so she didn't expect anything good but joining the royal family for breakfast was too much.

She was about to just give up and wear the rags provided by them but then, she heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" she asked and the person unlocked the door and came in. By the outfit, Izabelle knew it was a maid.

"Prince Xavier wants you to have this." She kept a royal golden gown, matching gloves and shoes on the bed and Princess Izabelle blushed as the maid left.

"Is he serious?" she asked herself as she changed into the clothes on her bed and opened the door. She was surprised to see the door unlocked. She thought of running away again and since there were no sign of guard there, she could do that. she started walking ahead then she saw a huge door. She didn't have any idea where that door leads too so she put her ears on it to listen to anything. she didn't here anything so she opened the door and it was the dining room. The royal family was sitted eating and they all looked at her.

she turned red out of as she tried to leave but a harsh deep voice spoke.

"Trying to escape? Just sit down." The voice said and she turned to realize it was that of the King so she obeyed and sat down next to Princess Kayla.

The maids served her egg toast with tea. She started eating using the right utensils and the King was impressed.

"I guess your parents taught you well." He said and she knew he was referring to her. she had no idea they were staring at her as she ate and she suddenly stopped eating.

"What do you want from me?" Princess Izabelle asked as she kept her fork and pushed her chair back a little.

"Finally came to your senses." Prince Xavier mumbled to himself but Izabelle heard him.

"Look, come to me a bit after breakfast. We had a lot to talk about." King Utan said and Izabelle continued eating quietly.

After the long breakfast, Princess Kayla left the house to visit her friends while Prince Xavier went to Polaris which is the capital of Aglenestia.

He went there to check out the new homeless shelter King Utan was building.

Princess Izabelle left her room to the throne room where she saw the king waiting impatiently. She felt her throat go dry and she became scared too.

"Your Majesty, what can I do for you? Why have you kept me as a hostage?" she asked as she stood right in front of him.

"You may have a sit." he said and she sat down near the throne.

There was a lot of questions princess Izabelle had for this royal family but she mostly cared about leaving the kingdom.

She wanted to know where the Queen was but she couldn't ask because it was none of her business.

"You know where the secret island is. It is a Treasure Island hidden somewhere here in Aglenestia. We've searched everywhere but we found out that the only person who knows about the location of the treasure island is the princess of Volmore.

"What treasure island?" she asked and he sighed.

"Prince Xavier will explain everything to you later but I want to know if you remember where the island is." The king said

"No. I don't have any idea on what you are talking about." Izabelle said and he nodded.

"You may leave." The king said and she left yet confused.
