Playing with Fire

By the time Sara and Prince Vincent arrived at the castle, Sara's eyes were no longer bloodshot, making it impossible for the others to notice that she had been crying. The others expressed their worry for her, saying that they all thought she had been kidnapped. Sara very much wanted to tell them that she had been kidnapped, but she didn't, knowing that if she did, there would be very grave consequences. She told them that she wasn't kidnapped, but rather, that she and Prince Vincent sneaked out to have some time together. The others believed her lie.

But Dorothy didn't. Dorothy was one of the people who were close enough with Sara to know when Sara was lying or not. And this time, Dorothy knew Sara was lying. Dorothy wanted to ask why she was crying, but she didn't for Prince Vincent was beside Sara at that time.

At that particular moment, the front doors opened to reveal four guards, a King, and a Queen whom Sara didn't notice. The guards, King, and Queen proceeded to go upstairs, to King Arthur and Queen Emily's bedroom. After a couple of minutes, a royal guard went downstairs.

"Miss Sara, the King and Queen request your presence in their bedroom immediately, alone," the guard said.

"Alright," Sara said.

Sara went upstairs, and once there, she knocked on the King's bedroom door.

"Come in!"

Sara opened the door gently and went inside. Once there, she closed the door gently behind her, went to the middle of the room, and bowed to the Kings and Queens in the room.

"Good evening your highnesses. How could I be of service to you?" Sara politely asked.

The Queen smiled at Sara and motioned for her to sit down on one of the chairs. Sara politely said her thanks and went down to sit on one of the chairs near the door.

"Sara, meet Queen Renee and King Dale. They are the King and Queen of Kysria."

Sara smiled and said, "Pleased to meet you."

Queen Renee smiled, "And you too, my dear."

Queen Renee was a woman of forty years. She had long strawberry blond hair that curled magnificently. She had hazel eyes, pink lips, and ears that looked like an elf's. Her dress was colored blood red, and upon her head was a beautiful tiara made of silver and rubies.

"Sara, we called you here because we have reason to believe that you ay be the long lost Princess of Kysria, Princess Isabelle," King Arthur said.

"Pardon me?"

Sara couldn't believe it. Did they just say that they thought she was Isabelle?

The Queen, as if she knew what Sara was thinking, gently said, "Yes Sara. We have reason to believe that you're Isabelle. Now, we invited King Dale and Queen Renee here to take a look at you, and confirm our suspicions whether you are Princess Isabelle, or not."

King Dale gently motioned for Sara to come forward. King Dale looked quite handsome and strict with icy blue eyes, and a long wide nose. He had lustrous curly raven black hair, and his posture was straight, as if he balanced books on his head his entire life. Though seemingly strict, he looked friendly, judging from the slightly tentative smile he was giving Sara.

Sara stood up gracefully, trying to look good for her potential family. She returned King Dale's smile, and she walked forward to where King Dale and Queen Renee were sitting. Queen Renee smiled and looked at Sara.

"I'm going to look at your shoulder Sara. You see, Princess Isabelle had a strawberry shaped birthmark on her shoulder. If you have the same birthmark, then we will continue on to the second test. The second test would be Isabelle's locket. When Isabelle went missing, her locket wasn't found in the castle. If you have the same locket, then we will confirm that you are Princess Isabelle, and it will be your decision as to when you'll come home with us."

As Queen Renee looked at her right shoulder, Sara could feel her heart beating wildly in her chest. She was nervous and she had mixed feelings. She wasn't sure whether she should be happy that she was a Princess now, or sad because of all the missed moments she would have had with Prince Gil if only she didn't go missing.

Queen Renee smiled genuinely at her and turned to Queen Emily, "Sara has the strawberry birthmark."

Sara smiled, relieved that she passed one of the tests.

"Do you have a locket, Sara?" asked Queen Renee.

"Yes," said Sara as she handed over her locket.

Queen Renee got her beautiful silk red pouch and got out her eyeglasses. She looked at the locket with such intensity, and smiled at Sara.

"This is genuine. Sara has the genuine locket," Queen Renee hugged Sara tightly, "I'm so proud we found you at last, Princess Isabelle."

Sara returned the hug tentatively, and when it was over, asked one of the questions that was in her mind for so long now, "Queen Renee…"

"Renee, please. After all, I'm your aunt."

Sara smiled, "right. Renee, might I ask a question? What does S.I.J.S mean? And where is the key to this locket?"

Queen Renee's smiled faltered slightly, but Sara paid no attention to that, "the answer to your first question would be Sara Isabelle Jane Sidle. That's your full name. The answer to your second question however, I cannot answer. You see, I was hoping that you had the key."

Sara whispered, "I don't remember anything about my past life at all. All I remember was that I was found in an alleyway. I had no food to eat, and I scavenged the nearby garbage cans for food. Someone named Camille, adopted me, and took care of me in her orphanage. That's all I remember about my younger self," Sara said, panicking more and more.

Queen Renee hugged Sara and took a whiff of Sara's hair, "sh. Relax Sara. Everything will come back to you when the time comes. I promise you that. And if you don't ever remember, that's fine. We'll either help you recover your memories with some of the information we got or you can just live your life now. What matters is that we found you, and that you'll rule the Kingdom someday, when you're older and more ready."

Queen Renee let go of Sara and faced the King and Queen, "we should be going before it gets dark. We'll see you soon, Queen Emily, and King Arthur."

King Dale stood up, "ah yes, we should be going. We'll see you soon Arthur, and Emily."

Queen Renee turned and looked at Sara, "We'll be here in a week's time to ask you when you'd like to come home, okay Sara? Don't say no immediately…just, please think about it."

Sara nodded, "I will."

When the door closed, Sara turned to Queen Emily and King Arthur, "Your highnesses, I think I should get going too."

Queen Emily looked at Sara with deadpanned seriousness, "Sara, we had another reason why we called you here. We heard about you and your sudden marriage to our son, Prince Vincent, and it's not that we don't think you're right for him, because you are. You're good for him, really. But the question is, are you happy with your plans? Do you love him? Are you in love with him?"

Sara gulped.
