( ✧✧✧ ) ❝Oh, it's been so long since I've been here.❞ The Princess's eyes trailed up and along the abandoned chateau, a feeling of nervousness stirring within herself as she pushed the door open, almost expecting her step Mother to be waiting there, still seething with hatred. Lady Tremaine and Drizella had recently left, her step sister having tricked someone into marrying her and allowing the other to come and live with them. And since Anastasia had already married the baker, there was no one to claim the estate, or be willing to repair and keep up with all of the cleaning. That fact was what lead Cinderella there.
The years of being nothing more than a servant within her own household were still fresh in her mind though what she focused on and still loved was her dear memories of her father and the happiness she had felt as a child. Nothing could take that away, and as she walked through the falls, taking note of each thing that needed to be done, she decided to take the house for hers as it always was supposed to be.
It was a short walk, and hard shove to open the unused doors once more, that lead her to the courtyard where she had met the fairy godmother. Taking a seat on upon the edge of the fountain, she was in a state of bliss with her decision. ❝It'll be how Papa and I loved it so.❞
