She had loved ghosts as a child. They were an utterly fascinating concept at that time. She didn't understand why everyone was so frightened of the spiritual creatures, they were just the spirits o those passed on after all.

Many had found her fascination with ghosts somewhat odd. Many had found all the princesses somewhat odd, actually.

With Veronica it was because she was fixated on becoming a Holy Knight, something one wouldn't expect from a princess, it wasn't unheard of for women to become Holy Knights (there were actually quite a few female Holy Knights) so if it wasn't for the fact Veronica was a princess then it wouldn't have been viewed as strange but she was a princess so…

With Elizabeth it was because of her sense of adventure, Elizabeth liked her life as a princess and everyone knew she did but Elizabeth also seemed to like the thought if leaving the castle and seeing what the rest of the world was like. No one understood why Elizabeth would want to leave the castle, and with it, a life of luxury just to have an adventure. It started off with just that but people found some other things they found odd about her as time went on.

With Margaret it was because of her love of ghosts, many were scared of ghosts and so many thought it was strange for someone to like them. She was considered less strange than her sisters though. Margaret wasn't really sure how she felt about that.

She didn't understand why people were so utterly terrified of ghosts; she just didn't understand the reason.

But now, after Vivian put her and Gilthunder under constant surveillance and promised to kill the other if one didn't do what she said, she finally understood.

She couldn't see anything but Margaret could feel something, something watching her every move. Watching and waiting for her to do something that went against Vivian's wishes and if she did, then it would be off to inform the mage and the mage would kill Gilthunder without hesitation.

She knew there was a high chance Vivian was bluffing (She was crazy in love with him after all) but it still wasn't a risk she was willing to take. Gilthunder meant the world to her, she didn't know what she'd do if she lost him forever. That was why… she just couldn't take a risk, no matter how small it was, that could end up killing someone she loved so much.

While Vivian probably wasn't going to kill Gilthunder, Margaret knew she most definitely wouldn't hesitate to end her life. Vivian hated Margaret's guts, there was no way she'd hesitate to kill her in fact she'd probably jump on the chance.

Vivian was watching her all the time; Vivian could easily kill her at any time… And there was nothing she could do about it. Just like a ghost; Vivian was untouchable.

Margaret was sure that the reason ghosts were so feared was because you couldn't do anything to them, but they could do everything to you. If that truly was the reason, then everyone was correct. Ghosts certainly were… beings to be feared.

She was free now. Thanks to the Seven Deadly Sins, she was free. Vivian could no longer watch her or Gilthunder's every move. She could do what she wanted and not have to worry about Vivian killing Gilthunder and she didn't have to worry about Vivian killing her either.

But she never thought of ghosts in the same way again. The thought of being in a situation like the one she had been in for 10 years again was just too frightening. If she did, she might not make it out alive. Vivian was a ghost in the sense that she and Gilthunder couldn't do anything about her but others most certainly could. If it was an actual ghost, no one could help her; a ghost was untouchable to everyone. It didn't matter how much strength one had, it all meant nothing to a ghost…
