The next morning was no better with more guards following Amalia around so much that she didn't even bother trying to leave the castle.
"Amalia are you doing alright." Armand asked, seeing his sister looking out a window.
Amalia looked at Armand then said, "It depends on whose opinion you ask, to our father everything is fine as long as I have guards, but in my eyes, this is stupid beyond belief.
"He's just trying to keep you safe." Armand explained.
"By forming a wall around me that closes me off from the world!" Amalia shouted. "I take one step outside, and five different guards come running to keep me safe plus three more that remain in the shadows."
"Wait a minute, how do you know the number of guards in the shadows?" Armand questioned, knowing that the ones who tail Amalia in the shadows are the best of the best.
Amalia looked at Armand like he just asked her the dumbest question in the world but answered, "You do remember that I've snuck out of the castle since I was small right. I know most of the best hiding spots."
Armand immediately signed realizing that the Amalia had a point; almost no one but a curtain female Cra could find Amalia whenever she hid herself. As the days past Amalia was getting more and more restless when she saw her father, she tried to convince him to lessen the guards around her, but the answer was always the same, "I am sorry my perases wallflower, but you are the princess of the kingdom, and you must be protected.". As the days went on Amalia started to think being a princess was nothing but trouble.
"If only I could be like the boy and girl at the eatery, go wherever I want to meet new people and see the world." Amalia thought. "But this kingdom needs a princess in case the next in line doesn't have children." Amalia then heard a voice outside her door, when she cracked the door open, she saw her brother talking to the princess from another kingdom that had come to visit and form an alliance.
The next morning Amalia kept thinking of a way to get her father to ease up on the guards around her. It almost seemed as if they were increasing on a daily basis. Amalia made her way to the throne room to see that her father was talking to master Joris.
"Sorry I hope I'm not interrupting something important." Amalia said bowing a little to show her apologies.
"No princess, I just finished giving my report." Master Joris said calmly.
Once Master Joris was gone Amalia walked closer to her father's throne then bowed then said, "Father I would like to make a request."
"If it's about your guards then I am sorry, but the answer is no."
"Father please this is not needed." Amalia protested. "And if you won't lessen the guards, can you almost have the ones out in the open wear disgust so that they don't make me, feel like a prisoner."
"Please My wall flower, understand." the Sadida king started.
"Enough! I'm so tired of being told to understand someone else's way of thinking but having my own shut out like it doesn't matter." Amalia shouted before walking out of the throne room. "Stop following me!" A vine then slammed several guards out of her way into the wall. As she made her way to her bedroom she could feel the presncess of the rest of her guards in hiding, she then placed a hand on the ground the next thing anyone knew she heard the screams of the guards being ether bond over hit hard enough to knocked out. Once Amalia got to her room she walked in and slammed the door before Armand could talk to her. "I hate this life, I miss the way it was before, two guards in hiding while I wore a disguise see the different stores and talking to the people." Amalia then walked over to her balcony and saw that the traveling food cart was in view. "They're so lucky to be able to go where the road takes, how I wish I could go with you." Amalia then immediately went wide-eyed at the thought of running away with the cart.
