Chapter 6
First, I walked into the shoe closet of the princess, it looked more like a bloody shoe store on its own with all types of shoes on the shelves. Most of them were heels though.
Luckily, I was able to spot some comfy crystal pumps. I also changed, taking off the expensive dress to wear something casual, and casual to the Princess meant, a designer top with a matching platted skirt.
While staring into the mirror, I quickly put on some light makeup and started tying up my hair into a ponytail. I was already missing its curliness but Mark had gotten it straightened since Princess Ariana was known for having straight black hair. I also placed the silver tiara on too which Princess Ariana always wore, letting others know she was royalty.
I rushed to take my iPhone and opened the door leaving my room.
Outside my door, two werewolf guards stood looking to have been guarding my door. Then they started following behind me as protocol. It felt so surreal having two huge wolves following me everywhere I went to.
I looked again at my phone as Godfather sent me directions to this so-called Royal vault. A vault said to store up really important and powerful artifacts and treasure for the royal family. They say it was impenetrable with lots of security measures even against supernaturals.
I followed the directions and the walk felt so long as this castle was really huge. I could not even count how many passageways I had already passed. It was then that I finally reached the area. It was far away at the back end of the castle and you also had to pass through some steps that led to some underground basement.
I was still aware of the two bodyguards following me behind too.
As we arrived at the royal vault area, it was well guarded. There were almost about ten really strong werewolves guarding the place.
“Princess Ariana,” They said in greeting while bowing their heads.
“I am here to look for something in the Royal Vault,” I then said to the head guard with the commanding voice of a Princess.
“This way, my Princess,” He then said while turning around and opening the steel gate. He then did all the checks for me, the fingerprint scan, the eyes scan to turning off all of the other security stuff.
“That was easy,” I quickly thought to myself with a smug.
As he opened the final door, I could not help but almost gasp as I gazed at all the treasures in that vault. The place was totally loaded. I knew that if I sold all the stuff in this room, I would definitely become a trillionaire. There were treasures and artifacts of all kinds. I felt as if I had entered some kind of paradise and was still dreaming in dreamland. This was heaven to a thief like me.
I then started walking around looking for the black stick. It took some time as the place had so much stuff.
I started feeling frustrated unable to find it. Had I really come all this way for nothing?
“Your majesty, maybe I can be of help,” I then heard the head guard say upon noticing the distressed look on my face.
“Yes, would you happen to know where an artifact that looks like a black and broken half of a stick is?” I then said while giving him innocent Princess Ariana's eyes. My puppy dog eyes always worked.
“That is the most protected treasure in this kingdom. It became so after the other half was stolen from the Vampire Castle a long time ago. Unfortunately, my Princess, only the Werewolf King knows the location and can open the other vault where it is stored. You would also need authorization from him to open it.” As soon as the head guard told me that, I felt my stomach drop a little. I should have known it would not be that easy.
“Alright thank you for letting me know.” I quickly said to him and pretended to take some really beautiful diamond necklace so that I would not leave empty-handed and look suspicious. I first thanked the head guard for his help and then left with my two bodyguards following behind.
While walking back to the main part of the castle, I quickly texted Miles and Godfather about the new developments. Godfather then quickly sent me a text to go talk to the King and convince him to give me his beloved daughter, authorization to open that vault.
After all The Werewolf King was known to always give his daughter whatever she wanted.
I first took another deep breath preparing to go act my heart out.
I asked one of the guards where my father the King was. They told me he was in his office and having a meeting.
I first had to wait for the meeting to end, wanting to talk with him alone. So, I went back to my room and left the diamond necklace there too. Once the meeting ended, I quickly went and knocked at his door. He shouted to enter and so I opened the door entering inside.
His office looked homely, he was sitting and doing the work on his desk. It seemed being a King was a lot of work as he had to also handle lots of paperwork too.
“Dad,” I first said in a sad voice while sitting myself on the chair in front of him.
“Yes Pumpkin,” he quickly answered while still typing something on his laptop.
“I went to the royal vault and they would not allow me to see the famous so-called half of the magical scepter key,” I replied in a downcast voice.
“Why would you want to see that,” he quickly said looking up at me with wide surprised eyes.
“I just want to see what it looks like. Please dad, just once.” I then said to him in a pleading tone.
“I am sorry Princess but I cannot let you see it. The security risk is just too much. Losing this half will mean real danger and chaos for us and the whole world.” He then said not giving in.
“Does that mean you don’t even trust me, your own daughter,” I quickly said in order to guilt-trip him and made my eyes look teary while I faked looking hurt.
I then dramatically stood up from my chair and turned around,
“1…2…3” I then started counting each step in my mind, as I took them to leave his office.
“Urg Stop,” I then heard his voice shout, just in time as I reached number 5.
“I can never concentrate, knowing you are mad with me.” He then said with a scowl.
“You can go see it,” as he said that, I could not help but feel delighted inside that it had actually worked.
“But I can only do the authorizing process later in the evening, so you have to wait a bit.” As he added the last part, my victory felt ruined. I looked at my watch, it was still morning, at 8 am. This meant having to spend the whole day acting as Princess Ariana. But I had to take it, it was better than nothing.
“Thanks, Dad,” I quickly said making my voice sound grateful and placed a quick thankful kiss on his cheek.
“Anything for you, pumpkin,” he quickly said as I left the office.
