Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight.

The palace had not been too badly burned, apparently the fire had started in the stables and the boy Jacob was responsible, I was told he would be put to death, to tell the truth that horrified me

but there was nothing I could do.

While the palace was being rebuilt we were moving to one of our castles in the north of the country. My farther said, "It will give the people a chance to see the royal family." So we shall be

traveling by litter. Thankfully my wardrobe was not burnt in the fire as I closed my door, so I have no idea as to how Alice got into my room, but I decided to ask her later. The other things that

survived the fire are going to be carried by horses and donkeys. For some of the workers there will be carts but for most they will have to walk. My ladies will also be in my litter, behind me of

course and my maids shall be riding so I can have them near me. Each night we shall camp, tents are being brought along my ladies will have to share with me and my maids will have to sleep

with all the other maids but there is nothing I can do about that.

I am currently sitting in the litter with the curtains closed and talking to my ladies. I heard Jessica and Lauren whispering "You have to tell, you can't keep it a secret, if you don't I will." Jessica

whispered hurriedly to Lauren. Lauren hung her head in shame. "What is it you wish to tell me" I asked Lauren acid in my voice. Once more she hung her head. Jessica spoke up "She is with

child." Everyone except Jessica and Lauren gasped. "What" I nearly shouted. "You are with child outside of wedlock?" I questioned my eyes glaring down at her.

"I am" She whispered tears leaking out of her eyes.

"And who's is it" I questioned not giving her any pity. She started to cry harder now.

"I don't know your majesty" She whispered "I was in Jessica's Leah's and mine bedroom when he came in. He started kissing me and touching me. Please you majesty I tried to stop him but he

was to strong, then" She slowed down her talking, "Then he forced himself on me." The litter was stunned silence. I had not expected that. I moved over to Lauren and swiftly pulled her into a

hug. "You shall not be banished from court, you shall go home to your mother, have your baby with my blessing then return to me to marry a man I find for you, ok?" I asked holding her hands

now and smiling at her. Lauren was lost for worlds and she hugged me, which was not very proper but I patted her back and shushed her. Poking my head out of the curtain flap I called one of

the guards over and told him to stop the possession. "Stop the possession" He shouted and we all came to a very bumpy landing, as the men lifting us had put down the litter. "Bring Lady

Lauren's horse here and find four guards to accompany her to her family home." I instructed the guard he bowed and went off.

The king and Queen had gone ahead with another possession so I was in charge here; they had left before us. "We shall camp here tonight, put up the tents" I commanded stretching our legs I

finally got a better view of where we were. The hills rolled all over the place and the sunset made it look beautiful.

Lauren was ready "Thank you Princess" She said kissing my hands. I whispered "Your child shall become one of my maids or servants when they are old enough" She thanked me again then

rode away into the sunset. Her child could not be heard about, it was illegitimate and so held no power, the child she would have with her husband would be known as her first and would inherit,

it was sad but by letting the child become a maid or servant made sure it had a good life.

We traveled for two weeks camping each night the guard informed us that we were reaching the city of Weladamn. I opened the curtain and waved at the cheering crowds along the sides of the

road. "God bless you your highness." People shouted. I smiled a hole hearted smile, then I saw a beautiful baby held in the arms of a plump woman, I help my hand out to stop the possession

then as the carriers knelt down I stepped off the litter. "You have the most beautiful babe" I said to the woman as she curtsied. I stroked the infants soft hair and she made a giggly sound.

"What is her name?" I asked the woman

"Isabella Mary Ouran , named after your majesty Christian name" She spoke a slight shake in her voice. "How beautiful" I murmured I would love a beautiful daughter. I had a tiny ruby on a

chain attacked to my belt, I gently loosened it and put it round the Childs neck "This is my gift to you dear Isabella, grow strong and healthy, your child has my blessing" I said to the mother and

child. She curtsied once more and I returned to the litter.

We finally reached the castle and I heard cheering from the servants who had to walk, I new that Jasper had gone ahead with my parents and I couldn't wait to see him.

I had never been to this castle before so I was a bit lost as to where my room was thankfully Esme found me, as she was still with child and had traveled with my parents and her husband, for

she new where my room was.

The room was beautiful, tapestries hung from the ceiling and I had a great view of forest below, I loved it here. My bed had been brought from the palace along with my clothing. My room was at

the top of a tower; it was wide enough and had a fireplace too. There was another door hidden behind a cloth stool, I found a long winding corridor behind it, sometimes it slopped up and

sometime steeps appeared, I had taken a candle with me for it was pitch black. I saw some light ahead and slowly walked toward it. It was a hole, behind a tapestry. I put my eye to the light

and found I could see into a room, it was Jaspers room!

I returned to my room and called my maids to help me un pack, I was telling no one about secret corridor.

While walking around the castle I met Jasper in the long gallery where many sofas and chairs were placed. Jasper guided me to a pink and golden sofa and we sat down. Then slowly he sank

from the sofa to one knee, I gasped, although I did know this had to come at some point. "Princess Isabella, you chose me to be the king by your side I now ask you myself will you marry me?"

"Yes" I said, no I don't love him nor will I ever but it is right and I can be happy with him if I try. He kissed my cheek and slipped the diamond and emerald ring on to my figure. "I shall inform

the king and queen so we may set a date." Jasper said as he departed and I nodded. I needed to find out about Edward. Running to the maids room I found what I was looking for, a simple

maids dress with apron pinning my hair back and washing off the makeup from my face I was Bella again.

I quickly found my way to the kitchens "I'm here to take food to the prisoners." I said to the head cook she shrugged and piled me high with baskets of bred and cheese. Had she known who I

was she would have not been as ruff.

Balancing carefully I walked down the stairs to the dungeons…
