She was trapped.. That was how she saw it. She was in the throne room surrounded by 5 guards and her parents were staring at her.

"It is unacceptable, Levy!"

"Well, dear it isn't ba-…"

"Shut up! Go talk to Bethany." She spat out her name like it was poison. The King's blue eyes seemed to frown and he stopped talking.

"Now, where was I. Levy! You cannot hide from your responsibilities! You are a McGarden! A princess. But worse of all, you are my daughter. A disappointment! You cannot draw your way to owning this kingdom. You can't compliment your way to the top of power!"

Tears started welling in Levys eyes. She finally said it. She was a disappointment. Levy was angry, her own mother was ridiculing how she lived her life.

"How dare you, Levy McGarden!"

That was the breaking point.

"No! How dare you, Mother!" Levy yelled.

The Queen's green eyes widened in shock. Her black hair got messed up from jumping.

Levy couldn't stop herself.

"You can't draw your way to owning this kingdom! You can't compliment your way to the top of power! You can't even compliment anyone! You're evil! You call your own child a disappointment. You can't keep a husband. That's not even my dad! You lost him to a woman ten times nicer than you! I don't blame him either. If they had gotten married before he died, this kingdom would not even belong to you! And it would be better off without you!"

"You enjoy hurting people. You enjoy hurting me! I'm four feet away from you and this is the closest I've been to you in months! And don't get me started on how you treat the people that live here. Here's a surprise. Some of them are nice! You say they're disobedient, ugly and nasty. Well, I know for a fact that some of them are prettier and nicer than you!"

The room fell silent. Levy stared into her mother's eyes, anger still in her eyes.

"Enough! Get out. I don't want to see you for a week. How dare you speak to your mother like that! Get out."

The Queen stood up and, for the first time in months, stood in front of her the princess with angry tears falling out of her eyes.

"You are no daughter of mine."

"Good."

And with that the sweet princess ran up flights of stairs to her room. She ran up the cold tower to her room and slammed the door shut. Finally, peace. She wiped her eyes and laid on her bed. God, her mother was so tiring! She did do all the paperwork she called responsibilities. She couldn't help being kind, she didn't want to grow up to be like her mother!

Sighing, she reached for her nightstand for a tissue. She was surprised to feel something spongey. She sat up and looked to the nightstand.

The cake.

Gajeel.

She looked towards her window to see the sun was already going down a little. Levy smiled. Finally, she could leave for a little bit. The princess took off her uncomfortable dress and looked around for the shirt she had. It belonged to a servant boy named Jet. After seeing her sneak out and hearing about why she did, he realized she would need a little bit more of a disguise.

He gave her a white shirt and black trousers. She dyed the shirt blue with blueberry juice because white didn't suit her well. She thanked him a lot before sneaking back into her room.

She found the shirt and trousers under her pillow and got changed. Looking out the window, she made up a plan in her head to get to the roof of the bakery. The princess ripped a bit of silk off her curtain and tied it around her hair. She locked her door and grabbed her bag. Levy slung it over her shoulder and with a quick look around her room to make sure she had everything, she jumped out.

"Yes, perfect jump!" The princess landed on the stone roof of the servant's house outside her tower. "Good thing I have strong legs," she thought. She walked over to the castle wall and climbed up the ladder she had put there ages ago. After scanning the kingdom to make sure there were no guards about, she walked on the wall to find the closest house.

Luckily, it always seemed to be empty at night. She jumped onto the roof and made her way to the bakery's roof by walking on roofs and climbing on pipes when she had to miss a house. People saw her but they always thought the princess was actually just a normal rebellious kid. It took her around ten minutes to get to the roof of the bakery. She was shocked to see a candle there already. That was going to make drawing easier. She sat down, wondering where Gajeel was. The princess sighed, thinking that he left but forgot to take the candle. She took out the small canvas and her pencil and started to sketch. Gajeel was right, it was peaceful out here. Levy wished he was there.

"Didn't even hear you coming, Princess, gihee."
