Unexpected

I had a great time with them.

Me: I want to talk to you before I go. I know you're mad at Michael, but I don't want you to fight. He really needs your support.

Nicholas: "Despite everything, you still care about him?"

Me: I know what he's going through. That's why you need to be there for him. I'm used to it and I don't care what people say about me, and I have my family with me. He doesn't have anyone. I'm not saying you should justify his behavior, just be there for him.

I missed all of this so much. I didn't want to leave, but I had to get home. We went into the living room and were about to leave when the king and queen met me.

Queen: "Were you planning to leave without seeing us?"

Me: No. It's just that I've been here for a long time and I was planning to go home.

King: "We haven't been able to talk since that day."

Queen: "No matter what happens, you will always be our child. You can come anytime."

King: "You know how much we love you."

Me: I know, thank you for such support. I will definitely visit you. Now I have to go.

So I guess I'm not meant to leave this palace. Every time I've planned to leave, something has happened. I think I'm cursed. Just then, Michael and his fiancée returned. Of course, he didn't even look at me, and after that day he didn't even dare to look at me.

Me: Okay, now it's really time for me to leave.

Leonard was waiting for me at the door.

Leonard: "Sister, it's time for us to leave."

Natalie: "Goodbye and come visit us."

I said goodbye to them and we were about to head for the door when suddenly Natalie felt unwell. I immediately appeared with her. I really don't think I'll ever leave this palace.

Me: Are you okay?

Natalie: "I'm probably tired."

She managed to say this and fainted. Nicholas immediately took her to the bedroom and I followed her. I couldn't leave her alone now. I felt like I wouldn't be able to leave here. Chaos broke out in the palace. The doctor was immediately called. If there weren't so many people in the room, Nicholas would have let everyone go and we were alone. Natalie soon came to her senses.

Me: Are you okay? You made us nervous.

Natalie: "It must be because I'm tired. There's so much to do in the palace and I don't have any time to rest."

Me: What happened to you?

Natalie: "I don't know. I suddenly felt sick."

Me: I think I know what's going on.

Natalie: "What do you mean, I don't understand?"

Nicholas looked at us very confused, he didn't understand what we were talking about.

Natalie: "I'm not sure."

Me: Okay, whatever you say, but I'm sure it's true. So congratulations to you both. I'll leave you alone.

In the meantime, the doctor arrived. I hugged them both and headed for the door, just at that moment Michael came in and I froze in place. Now I understood everything. I ran out of the room angrily, as always I tried to run away, but Michael stopped me.

Michael: "We need to talk."

Me: No, let go. You had plenty of time to talk.

Michael: "I'll explain everything."

I realized once again how stupid I was. I didn't think Michael would be able to break my hopes again, but now I'm not sure about that anymore.

Me: No need. I already understand. I'm just curious about one thing. Did all this happen before I arrived or after?

Michael: "Please..."

Me: No need. Don't answer me. No matter what you say, you're still to blame. I'll tell you one thing. You did the right thing, for the first time in your life. I never want to see you again.

He tried to stop me again, but I was screaming so loudly that the whole palace was watching us. I immediately ran to Leonard. On the way, I thought, I'm still here, making scandals, it's time to get away from this palace forever.

Queen: "What happened, my daughter? Did Michael do something wrong again?"

Me: Ask your son, or maybe you already know. I was a fool not to see all this. Now I know everything and I don't plan on being here for another second. Congratulations. Don't worry, I'll do everything I can to get the divorce papers as soon as possible, because it seems your son doesn't have much time.

We left the palace in a hurry, and then we arrived at the house. I didn't hear anything the whole way. My mind was blank and I couldn't think of anything. I don't remember how I got out of the car and went into the house. All I remember is, "Daughter, are you okay?" And then everything went black.

I woke up in my room. Everyone was there and they were very worried about me. When I opened my eyes, they immediately looked at me.

Vincent: "Daughter, how are you? You scared us so much."

Leonard: "Sister, do you want something?"

I couldn't speak, so I could only say one word, "Fine."

Vincent: "I told you not to go to the palace, I knew it would happen. I'll go and talk to you. They won't be able to touch you anymore."

Leonard: "Dad is right. Let's go and talk to that bastard."

Me: Please don't go anywhere. Stay with me.

Vincent: "As you wish, daughter."

Their presence here gave me strength. If I had been left alone, I would have started thinking about everything again. I was exhausted and fell asleep soon. I slept until noon, it seems that they did not wake me up. I slept well. I went down the stairs and heard voices from the living room. "No, I can't stay, I have to go to the palace" It was my father's voice. "I told you not to go anywhere, if he wakes up and you are not here, what should we tell her." I immediately entered the room, everyone fell silent.

Me: Dad, brother, you are not going anywhere. I don't know what Leonard told you, but under no circumstances are you going there.

Vincent: "Okay, dear, calm down, come and sit down here."

Leonard: "I will cook you food. Would you like coffee or tea?"

Me: "I will drink jasmine tea."

They tried not to talk about yesterday's story. They did not want me to get nervous again and something bad would happen to me.

Vincent: "The doctor said you should rest."

Me: "Did she say anything else?"

Leonard: "What did she have to say, sister?"

Vincent: "You were just really nervous, and from what Leonard told us, it's normal for you to react like that."

I can't believe he did something like that.

Leonard: "How did you know, sister?"

Vincent: "What are you doing?! Don't bring up yesterday's news."

Me: It's okay, dad. I know you're curious too. After Natalie got sick, I analyzed everything and understood why they were rushing the wedding.

Vincent: "I can't believe my son-in-law had to be that stupid."

I told him in detail what happened at the palace. Now I knew for sure that I would never go back there again.

Leonard: "While you were sleeping, Natalie called to ask how you were. I didn't say anything."

Me: It's good that you didn't say anything.

Leonard: "Come on, I made your favorite sandwich."

Me: Oh, I can't say no.

There was a delicious sandwich waiting for me in the kitchen. It smelled so delicious that I couldn't resist, I immediately started eating it. It reminded me of how I used to eat when I was a kid.

Me: It was delicious. I'll go back to my room now.

Vincent: "Daughter, I know you want to rest, but it's better if we go outside."

Me: I'd rather rest today.

Vincent: "As you wish. Rest then."

I got ready to go back to my room, but I stopped on the way. If I had gone back there now, I would have had to think about all this again, because I wouldn't be able to sleep. I think it would have been better if I had gone out with my family. I went back.

Leonard: "What happened?"

Vincent: "Are you okay?"

Me: Nothing, I just changed my mind. I'll go get ready and go somewhere.

Vincent: "You made us so happy. We'll get ready too."

When I got downstairs, everyone was already ready and waiting for me. They were very happy. I know they're doing all this for me. I'm glad they're by my side. I probably wouldn't have imagined this a few days ago, that I would be so close to my family. This has raised even more questions for me. Perhaps this is why I can't find my true self.
