By the way, I have a link to what I have shown (in these books!) what Underland looks like – as in the Royal's titles and etcetera. Link top of profile)

BOOK TWO: Interesting & Confusing Twisting Events
By Rurple101 & BiGbLuEeYeS1136

Chapter Eight "The Truthful Past"

I dragged Princess Angela into the room next to the courtyard's doors. She moaned and I heard a dry sob as I flung her into a seat and made two guards stand next to her, ready to grab her if she fled. I stepped back and tried to get back my breath after that rather brutal attack.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to see Tarrant, his chest still bare and looking at me with concern. I took my cardigan off and offered it to him. He took it smiled slightly. It was a dark black so it didn't look too girly on him, though he did smell slightly, despite me not minding it as much. Queen Mirana walked in and stared down at her niece. I started on the princess.

"Well! I bet all those people out there or yourself didn't NOT expect a defence like that your Highness. Please pardon me as it was a self-defence move." I stated.

No flicked of emotion or reaction from Angela at all. I sighed.

"Sorry to be blunt but why have you hidden your identity all this time?" I asked, sitting down and looked at the girl who was my age and fiddling with her fingers.

She didn't answer. I sighed and looked at Mirana.

"Aggie, tell her. She has a right to know, the whole kingdom does! You're their princess!" Mirana sighed, running her hand down her face and looking very tired.

"I am NOT a princess, Auntie Mirana!" Angela hissed unfriendly. "I never wanted to become a bloody princess! It will not be me who takes the throne! At least Aunt Racie knew that she would never burden me with the throne!"

There was a silence as the words rang in the air and the Princess hung her head in shame, the tears becoming more frequent as she started to cry. I handed my handkerchief over to her and she took it and blew her nose. She calmed herself and looked up at me and the Queen.

"I refuse to speak while those lot are present!" she demanded, nodding her head at Tarrant and Mirana. I nodded and they and the guards left the room. I turned back to Angela.

"How old are you?"

"Nineteen, I'm twenty next week." She sniffed.

"Can you tell me your story of your past? I mean, how was it growing up in a palace?"

Princess Angela sighed and looked Alice in the eyes. "I'm not a…"

"I'm not saying that, Angela. But you need to get used to being called what you were born into. Just explain your life to me." Alice reassured her. Angela sighed and looked down at her lap as she spoke.

"I was born in a time in Underland when my aunties had only just fallen out" she said, her voice a mere whisper. "The kingdom hadn't had time to get over the fact that the once friendly atmosphere in the castle where they grew up with my grandparents."

Alice interrupted. "How did the kingdom know it was friendly? Mirana told me that she despised her sister from the day they met each other."

"Of course that is what Mirana would say. Iracebeth said it as well. It was all a lie that part as it made things clearing on how could the people of Underland stand going through my aunt Iracebeth's reign of terror. It told Mirana that she would never look bad next to her. Iracebeth found this out as Mirana thought of this, years ago…and my auntie…kept to that plan to pay her sister back for making her look bad. She realised that was what she did to lose her birth right, the crown."

"That's…very complicated." Alice said, slightly stunned at this news.

"That is why, my aunties made that up – it was too confusing to understand." Angela continued. "Anyway, Underland was very confused on how to deal with it. And the bad thing as once Iracebeth made a public announcing of yelling at Mirana and her husband while pregnant with Princess Lily. The good thing is that I know my mother was the person to deal with them as she told. It was when my grandmother, Esther died."

"After that, of course there was the birth of my cousin, Lily Esther Howard-"

Alice interrupted again "Howard?"

"That was the Royal Family's name, Lady Alice."

"Ohhh, go on."

"Anyway, so when Lily was born I was roughly four years old but it is strange how I remember everything as if it was yesterday. I remember the shape of her cheekbones, the colour of her flushed and soggy face, and the smooth texture of her skin. I remember holding her and hugging her close, she turned out to my best friend when we grew older. But when I was twelve I suffered a loss." Angela sighed, thinking back to when the worse had happened.

"You would of read somewhere from a popular book; The Kings, Queens and Royals Of Underland?" Angela asked Alice and she nodded.

"Well what that book says is rubbish. The author of that book doesn't say but it was me who wrote it. It is the only book about the Royals of Underland which most of it is true. I remember as well as seeing my cousin after being born me writing in it. I…I was forced by…someone who was blackmailing me to write it and tell it to my mother who passed it to her sisters and then the entire kingdom. It is a myth that King Philip lost his memory. He was forced to marry my aunt, she told me herself!"

"It isn't a myth however that Lily disappeared. I…have a feeling she died many years ago but…there is like an instinct in me which demands me to find out the proper ending of Lily. The instinct tells me that my best friend is still alive but bound." Angela sighed.

"What do you mean Angela? Are you saying that you were blackmailed to write the book and make everyone believe the faked story? It does sound slightly…confusing to me." Alice explained.

"IT IS MEANT TO BE CONFUSING! HE HELD A KNIFE TO MY BACK IF I REFUSED TO WRITE THE DAMM BOOK!" Angela yelled.

"Why?"

"I don't know!" Angela screamed in frustration. "It makes me no sense at all how my stupid family were so tedious!"

At this time, Mirana and Tarrant came back in, him still in new clothes and both quite confused by the young Princess screaming. But Angela kept screaming.

"Man I wish Stayne never slept with Isla Hightopp and made me do this!"

Now, that got Alice's attention.

She turned her head to Tarrant then to Angela. "Who is Isla Hightopp?"

"Tarrant Hightopp's wife who died on the day my auntie burned the Hightopp clan village!" Angela said her eyes closed and opened to see Alice's face in shock and turning to Tarrant Hightopp himself.
