{Y/N's POV}

Zane led me out of the bedroom and into a large corridor. We passed many large doors painted with a gold finish. The walls were painted a beautiful cyan color with white details here and there. After a while of walking, the corridor came to an end and opened up to a room with a marble staircase and a railing made of silver. Zane held his arm out to me and I hesitantly denied. He was acting like he didn't know who I really was. Was I assuming things? I couldn't have been, he knows my real name. But how did he find out? Who told him? Zane sighed and I followed him down the stairs. Once at the bottom of the stairs, Zane walked over to a door on the left side of the room and opened it. I followed him and saw that the room Zane had led me to was a dining room. The table was made from a darkened wood that looked as if it had been painted. Above the table was a large chandelier made from gold and what looked like diamonds. The table looked as if it could easily hold 100 people plus a king and queen on each end. Zane pulled out the chair on the end closest to the door and told me to sit down. I did so and he walked to sit on the other side of the table. Once seated, Zane clapped his hands twice and in came maids and butlers bearing drinks, food, and dishes. A maid came up to me and asked what I would like to drink. A butler also did so with Zane. He asked for a water and a maid ran up to pour some water in a cup that was set beside him just moments before. I asked for a water as well, and the same thing happened to me. Once all the food was placed on the large table, all the maids and butlers emptied the room one at a time. Zane got up from his chair and picked up a basket of biscuits as he walked over to me. I hesitantly grabbed one and set it on my plate.

Zane: Are you sure that's all you want? Please, help yourself. There's more food here than I asked them to prepare.

Y/N: I'm not that hungry, thank you.

Zane: Hmm... So be it.

Zane set down the basket and stood right beside me and watched me eat my biscuit and drink my water.

Zane: Now, I'm sorry I had to result to bringing you here like this, but I didn't want to take any chances. I hope you can forgive me, but for now we need to to talk.

I stopped eating and looked up at Zane, who was towering over me.

Zane: And I want you to give me honest answers. Do you understand?

I started getting terrified, but I still nodded my head 'yes'.

Zane: Good. Now, who are you and how do you know my brother?

Wait... What? H-he doesn't know who I am?

Y/N: I- uh...

Zane: Look, I know you're not from here. I also know that you stayed with Aubrey, and that your name's not really Mia.

I quickly tried to think of a good cover story that he would believe.

Y/N: Yes, you're right about my name not being Mia. I am actually Aubrey's cousin. And I'm visiting her from Meteli.

Zane: Meteli? Isn't that where Laurence is a guard?

Y/N: Who?

Zane: You mean, you don't know Laurence Zvhal? And you live in Meteli?

Y/N: Well, I haven't lived there long.

Zane: Alright, I guess that makes sense... But how do you know my brother?

Y/N: Aubrey introduced me to him and he wanted to show me around the city.

I hoped that he would believe a lie such as that, but I knew I'd have to come clean eventually. Suddenly, a knock came from outside the dining room door and Zane went to answer it. A small boy with short brown hair and a brown leather bag walked into the room.

???: Yo yo yo, whassup ma royal fam?

Zane: Teagan? What have I told you about talking like that? It just sounds weird.

???: Who's this Teagan person, man? My name's Bobby!

Zane: Look, Teagan, do you have a letter for me or not?

Teagan: Yeah yeah yeah, gimme a sec, will ya?

Teagan reached into his bag and pulled out a clean envelope with a red wax seal on it. My heart began to race when I got a glance at the symbol in the wax. It was the symbol that was used to represent Dragonoore Village. Zane opened the letter and started reading it to himself. After a while, a monstrous and devious smile grew on Zane's face and I suddenly realized what the letter must say. Zane looked up from the letter and out the window. Suddenly he started laughing maniacally.

Lord Fyre knows I'm gone...

Hey guys, how are you doing? I'm not doing to bad, thanks for asking! Yes, I am wearing a new shirt, how kind of you to notice! So, how's life? Oh yeah? Well, just keep making the most out of every day and you'll be rewarded with kindness in return! Hooray life! What's that? Oh, yes I am really tired. How'd you know? Is it that noticible?

P.S. Expect some theme songs of older tv shows in the next few chapters. It's a phase I'm going through right now and I'm not sure how long it'll last. All I know is that it's been going on for a long time. Unlike my Minecraft "phase" which as been going on for 5 YEARS, MOM. ITS NOT A FRICKING PHASE I THOUGHT YOU WOULD'VE LEARNED THAT BY NOW!!!!!!
