It had been years since the queen had been ousted and the prince had taken control...but things hadn't quite turned out the way he planned. Oddly enough few people ever saw the young monarch. The people often wondered how he ruled at all. They heard that most of his dealings happened at night--strange to be sure. Then again, he was a foreigner to their lands. Maybe he just refused to adjust to the time change. A strange eccentricity, but the people dealt with it. They often heard stories about how people would go in but not come out.
Rumors had spread about the queen cursing the prince after he ousted her. The queen was dead now, so all inquiries were really just hearsay now. But a great number of people believed it. But not Belle's father. He was convinced that the prince was just a strange youth who needed to be among his people. He decided to see if the prince would have an audience with him. An audience in which the prince would hear a pitch for a festival in honor of the unity of the people. He would venture to the castle with his daughter by his side, a move that was sure to be in his favor.
She was a beautiful lady, like her mother. Isabelle had her mother's pale complexion: like peaches and cream. Her hair was long and curled nicely when she styled it. The color was a rich chestnut, though the small bit of gold in it sometimes made it look more red. She was a bright young woman, and she had a tall, slender frame, her womanly curves filled out perfectly. She hated it when people called her Izzy, and preferred "Belle" when she was addressed. Either that or her full name. Though she had moments of willfulness, she was obedient to her father and loved the man dearly. However, she was very nervous about this visit to the castle.
Belle had never met anyone more important than the police in her neighborhood, and she believed the rumors her father hadn't. She was nervous because she wasn't sure what would come of this, and because she had also heard the stories of people disappearing after unannounced visits. So it was that they stared up at the gates of the castle that day, waiting for something to happen.
