The queen didn't have a nanny in her castle, so she instructed one of her guards to keep an eye on Cataleya, and make sure she didn't go anywhere she shouldn't be. I.E the dungeons. It was for her own safety, of course. Her daughter was allowed everywhere else, even her own personal chambers.
She was distracted that day during court. She couldn't even concentrate on what the peasants were begging for, her mind was on Cataleya and what she was doing at the moment. She had sentence three men to die earlier that day, and usually she would be excited for that, but she just wanted to spend time with Cataleya. She hadn't even known the girl for a whole day, but she had already grown attached to her.
Regina started paying attention when one of her guards flew through a closed door. Everyone gasped and looked over at the door, as a little girl came running into the door, and towards the queen. Regina smirked. She sure knew how to make an entrance. Her smirk went away when Cataleya was close enough, and she saw that she had been crying. "Mommm" Cataleya ran to her, and everyone in the room gasped, and feared for the little girl who was brave enough to climb unto the queen's throne and into her lap.
The queen ignored them. "What's the matter dear?" She asked. She started feeling angry. Seeing her daughter upset mad her upset. She promised she would kill anyone who upset her daughter.
Cataleya leaned up and whispered on so that her mother could hear. "I keep making people fly with my magic, I didn't mean to, I was just mad when the guard said I couldn't see you, and my magic came out, and now every time I hold my hand up to someone it sends them flying" She rambled on, tears in her eyes. She was so afraid of what her powers were doing, and how her mother would react to the news, would she be mad at her?
The queen chuckled. "Don't cry little one, it's alright. I make people fly all the time" she laughed.
"You do?" Cataleya asked, wiping her eyes.
"Yes, they are all used to it by now. Some of them even like it?" Regina flicked her wrist and a gust of wind sent a guard "flying" as Cataleya called it. The guard fell on the floor, but just stood up and returned to his position. His face was red from anger, and he had his mouth scrunched up, signaling that he was angry.
Cataleya knew she probably shouldn't, but for some reason, she found that funny, maybe because the idea of someone liking being thrown across the room, was ridiculous. So she stopped crying and laughed. The queen laughed with her. She loved that she was able to make her daughter happy, to her that felt like the biggest accomplishment all day.
"All better dear?" The queen asked. Cataleya nodded. "Good, now I have to finish court and then, I'll spend more time with you"
Cataleya looked around, she observed all the people down there who was kneeling in front of the queen. She realized that she had just interrupted something, but she didn't want to go. Whenever she wasn't in the presence of this version of her mother, she cried for the other version of her mother, who wasn't awake yet. She didn't want to leave. "Why can't I stay with you?"
"Because, princesses don't sit in on court until they are much older. I promise I won't be long" The queen stated.
Cataleya kissed the queen on the cheek. "See you later mom" She climbed down, and walked over to the guard she made fly earlier. She apologized, and walked with him out the room.
