(Adrien)

I looked down my heart racing. "Where is he?" I quietly asked one of the maids who seemed to shift her eyes at the sound of my question. "The study room sir..." I could tell by the tone of her voice and how she shifted her eyes from mine that he was not in a good mood. I took a deep breath out side the doors of the study. Then I knocked on the door and waited for my dad to speak. "Enter." He said in short harsh tone so I opened the door and stood before my father letting the door close behind me.

"Adrien what where you doing leaving the guest. You are a prince and it is your duty to mingle with the guest." I went to apologize but he stepped down in front of me and slapped me across my face. I looked down my cheek stinging. "May I please be excused father?" I mumbled under my breath then left before he could say anything. I saw him move his mouth to apologize out of the corner of my eye but I was long gone by then. As soon as the door shut I let my self fall to the floor as I held my cheek in pain and let the tears fall. For the first time in a long time I felt like a small child again longing for the touch of a mother's warm hand. I whipped my eyes as best I could my cheek still red and fresh from the slap and ran to my room locking the door I let the tears fall down my face again. "Why can't I just leave this life and be like Marinette..." I mumbled to my self and cried in my knees not caring if my Prince clothes got dirty well the maids knocked on my door and begged me to let them in.
