Chapter Text

The shouting began at dawn waking the younger Winchester who hated this month every year it was the month of August which is supposed to be the hottest month where people relax well that's what everyone else did but this month for the Winchester's was the worst it was the month John called suitors from around the land to marry his sister off to and every year this exact day happens Deana would argue with John on the first of August about how she would rather have her eyes poked out by hot pokers then marry some stuck up snobby prince and John would argue back that it was what was best for her which was clear bullshit since almost everyone in the land knew that Deana was a fierce warrior not some pretty damsel in distress princess who couldn't even throw a punch.

Sam sat up on his bed and began listening to his sister and fathers words "I will not marry some prince I do not love!" Screamed Deana and in retaliation John yelled back "well I loved your mother and we went through the exact same thing so you will learn to love your soon to be husband" you could hear the loud huff of Deana before she shouted "so you are just going to marry your daughter off to some random bloke who won't even let me hold a sword! I am the best out of all your soldiers and yet you wish to sell me off like I'm cattle at a farmers market!" John's voice declined from a yell yet was still as stern "Deana we've been over this for the past four years and you are nineteen now which is the perfect age for you to marry and you are my daughter and you have the responsibility to marry a prince to bring the kingdoms together!" Deana was about to retaliate when John yelled "you are to be wed end of discussion!" Deana's heels clicked as she stalked off out off the throne room.

Sam released his sister when the cry's of there younger half brother where heard and Deana rushed off with her long crimson red dress layered with silk and satin flowing with hints of gold seeping into the design in the form of tiny swirls and roses which bring your eyes to the bodice of the dress where the swirls and roses swarm together in a dance to show off Deana's slim waist and her cleavage which the corset of the dress amplifies making Deana seem as if she was a wrapped gift for someone and it gave hints as to what the gift was, Sam knew Deana hated this type of dress well she hated mostly all dresses but this type in particular because it objectifies her in ways no person should and it was John's way of saying she was about to be given away like a present like an inanimate object with no feelings ready to be used and discarded and because it was the start of August Deana was forced into these dresses and the only time she could take them off was if the was about to go to bed or if she snuck off into the surrounding city or into the forest and off to the village which boarded to the realm over the maecenas of evangelism Deana lived that village it was her safe haven the people knew to keep her secret of who she was when she came and in return she would help them hunt and would bring new technology for them to live safely without fear of others attacking them and if Deana had the choice she would move there and live with the people.

Deana opened the nursery door to see her two year old half brother sat in his crib crying his little heart out. Adam was the son of her father John and his mother Kate who was the woman John remarried years after Mary's death and during the birth of Adam she had passed she was a great queen by John's side she had always taken Deana's side but after she had passed John forced Deana into more arrangements for her marriage. Deana had watched her stepmother die because she was the one who turned up to hold her hand during the birth of Adam and the one to hear her last words which were...

"Deana take care of Adam and stay strong... do it for your brothers but most importantly do it for yourself" Deana had slumped over her step mothers body and cried which she barely ever did since it showed weakness to enemies but she didn't care at that moment she allowed herself to be vulnerable and cry for the only woman other than her mother to love her like she was her actual daughter but her mourning was short lasted as her father burst into the room and dragged her off her body and cast her aside as he knelt beside her and shouted back to Deana "stop crying she wasn't your mother or anything else to you so you have no need to cry over her or cry at all!" Deana stopped her crying swiping away at the tears on her cheeks before she was handed her baby half brother Adam who cooed and she hummed softly "Adam your name is prince Adam son of queen Kate Winchester and king John win have king of the courteous land" the baby cooed with his little arms waving about at her gripping onto her disheveled hair he looked so much like his mother with his sky blue curious eyes that gazed around the room, Deana held Adam close before walking over to John and asking "would you like to hold Adam?" John looked up and shouted "Adam who named my son Adam!?" Deana held the boy close as she answered "Kate" John glared at Deana as Adam began wailing and kicking his legs until John shouted "get him out of here now Deana!" She did as she was told and rushed out of the room with a nurse tailing her they both went to the nursery where Adam was changed and fed a mixture of animal milk and water before being put to sleep in his wooden crib.

From remembering this a tear slipped from Deana's eye as she dressed her baby brother out of his pyjamas and dirty undergarments before cuddling him and humming "hey little man do you feel better now?" He smiled and waved at Sam as he said "yesh De" Deana smiled at this and asked "are you hungry Adam" the toddler nodded and beamed as Deana walked with him out of the room and down to the kitchen.

Sam followed next to Deana and asked "are you ready for the month?" Dean glared at him and muttered while holding Adam's ears "shut up bitch and go get dressed" Sam chuckled and rolled his eyes "whatever jerk" and off he went back to his room to get dressed.

Deana descended the stairs and Adam hugged her tightly admiring her hair which was braided neatly into a half bun where as Adam's hair was short and Deana did it for him so it was neat and out of the way because he had a bit of a fringe which if wasn't brushed to the side would hang in his eyes his hair was fair and light which Adam liked because it made him look more like Deana than John with his dark brown hair.

Adam was dressed in long brown trousers with braces holding them up and a sky blue shirt which matched his eyes he also had a brown jacket on which matched his trousers.

Deana stalked off the stairs and into the direction of the kitchen as she did so servants bowed down to her or nodded there head as a sign of respect which Deana found was over the top until she heard shouting not angry as such but shouting she looked over and saw her best friend standing in front of a guard and saying "let me in I'm friends with Deana!" Deana chuckled as she walked over and shouted "Clive let her in" Charlie stuck her tongue out as she skipped past the guard and said "why is there so much more guards around here?" Deana laughed as they both started to go to the kitchen.

Charlie was her best friend for who knew how long and was the magizoologist who knew everything about magical creatures she also studied magical things so basically if you needy something about anything she'd be the person to go to. Charlie wore an off white v neck quarter length sleeve blouse with a floural embroidery pattern in white around the neck there was a slip of fabric which held the top together and to stop it from falling apart and revealing everything she also wore sandy trousers which fitted her like they were made for her which where also embroidered with roses on the side of her hips that brought your attention to them due to the colour of the bright red and soft green colours the roses were made from she also wore a leather belt which was plain with a coppery buckle the leather matched her boots which where knee hieght with long black laces and a folded looking top bit she also had her matching worn leather satchel around her shoulders which finished off her look with her deep rust colour hair that was shoulder length with waves in it.

When they arrived at the kitchen Deana set Adam down and called out "Asterin are you in?" A tall fair skinned woman appeared she was a Ljósálfar which is a light elf she was beautiful with her smile as she appeared and looked down apon Deana, Charlie and Adam who had rushed to Asterin and held on to her leg whilst giggling she bent down and asked "is someone hungry?" The little boy nodded as he was scooped up and carried away to get some breakfast.

Deana turned to Charlie who asked "is she single?" Deana chuckled "you ask this every time and I always say she's married" Charlie sighed and turned to face Deana and gasped "never mind Asterin are you still not gay cause man that dress does wonders for you and your figure" Deana laughed as Charlie stared and moved her hands up and down not touching the dress but expressing what she wants to do to Deana before asking "so what's up with this fancy dress get up? Not that you don't always wear a fancy dress when I bust this castle but this one is extra you know?" Deana sighed "it's August" Charlie's eyes widened in realisation "oh yeah... I mean... I can't think of anything positive about this month for you" Deana nodded "neither" Charlie hugged Deana before Deana felt something else join the hug Deana looked down to the two foot mushroom also known as Shrubs he hummed and grunted as he began to use his telepathy to speak to both Charlie and Deana "De! Char! How are you?" Dean smiled as the myconid climed her dress Deana replied "not to bad I guess" and Charlie smiled "I'm doing great and I was going to collect both you and Deana for an adventure but Deana can't leave the castle cause she has to be courted and marry a prince" the mushroom used more telepathy "awe man really that time of the year already that sucks!" Deana nodded and said "well hopefully this time I won't get kissed by an ork again" Charlie laughed remembering that faithful night.

"Come on Deana it's not that bad I mean all you have to do is say hi and then you can go" Deana sighed at Charlie and said "not exactly because I have to stay the entire night cause my dad will be watching me" Charlie sighed as Deana smoothed out her long tight emerald green dress which had long see through mesh sleeves with embroidered emeralds along the entire dress with satin fabric hugging her body as tight as can be. Deana sighed as Charlie sat on her bed "I wish you could come with me" and then Charlie beamed "I'll just put one of your dresses on and pretend to be noble" Deana grinned and pulled open her wardrobe and said "have at it" Charlie did and within no time had a elegant red dress on with rubies lining it the dress was similar to Deana's but wasn't as tight and had a nice flowing skirt to it Charlie swiveled and said "come on princess let's go not get you a prince" Deana laughed as Shrubs opened the door and was wearing a pair of back trousers and suspenders the only thing that would hang to his body properly even though he didn't need to wear clothes since he didn't have a gender and in his culture they don't but he did for special occasions where clothes when he wasn't in the gardens looking after the foliage and other plants.

Deana smiled "hey Shrubs" Shrubs began "hurry your brother can't stop your father for long" Deana smiled as they all rushed off down the marble stair case and fashionably late into the ballroom the doors opened wide and revealed Deana with her tiara standing neatly in her hair with shrubs next to her with his candy orange cap tilted upwards admiring the view around him and that's when John announced "My daughter everyone!" All eyes where on her as she waved and avoided the men staring at her she was only eighteen and the odd few of these men where almost thirty.

She walked inside with Charlie and Shrubs as her escorts they wandered about until Sam strode up to them and smiled "De your welcome Father was about to burst" Deana smiled "thanks Sammy" she scruffed up his hair which was neat and now it wasn't so much he gave her a glare before chuckling and saying "oh yes you must meet Rubin Allinkt prince of The Darkened Acres" Sam moved out of the way to reveal a tall man taller than Sam by quite a bit which is surprising but he had baby blue skin and a crooked smile he was an orc for sure he wore a black suit with silver embroidery which brought out the greyness in his eyes which brought Deana's view to his pointed ears which were long and stuck up just above his head she sighed and thought of something to say and said "nice ears" Rubin grinned and lent down and kissed Deana who stood in shock with Charlie laughing her ass off and whispered to Deana "telling an orc that makes them believe you want them romantically" Deana stepped back in shock and said "I'm sorry I um I really didn't mean that um well I was just complimenting you I didn't expect you to kiss me!" That's when John came over and asked "having fun Deana is this this one?" Deana shook her head and blurted out "I just complimented his ears now I feel bad and embarrassed because I didn't want a kiss but I don't want to hurt your feelings Rubin" John rolled his eyes and went off as Deana kept apologising and Rubin chuckled "I get it your okay maybe next time don't start with the ears" Deana nodded and Charlie kept laughing as Shrubs held on to Deana for support as he silently chuckled.

Sam gave Deana a shit eating grin like he knew something like that was going to happen and Deana smacked him hard on the side of the head and said "I'm not going easy on you next training session" Sam tried to retort but Deana had walked off from her fourteen year old brother.

Deana sighed "yeah I felt awful about that yet extremely embarrassed and disgusted his mouth looked twice the size of mine" Shurbs chuckled and add telepathically "and it would have been one hundred percent bigger than mine" Deana snorted and Charlie said "well that's not hard Shrubs cause you don't have a mouth" Shrubs have Charlie a mini glare before changing the topic and saying "well when are the princes going to arrive?" Deana sighed "God I hope not till next week but knowing the kingdoms lots will be arriving this week and today even" Shrubs began "well then Deana's balcony it is" Charlie gasped with a grin "yes the annual guess the prince and kingdom" Deana frowned "I hate how I always miss out on that" Charlie grinned "but that means we can tell you who's arriving while you sit on the queens throne awaiting your could-be-soon-husbands" Deana then heard the worst thing she could possibly hear.

It was her father shouting "Deana get in here a prince is arriving" Charlie grinned widely as Shrubs hopped up onto her shoulder and they ran for Deana's bedroom leaving Deana to walk to the throne room.

Deana opened the grand dark oak doors to the throne room and entered with her heels clicking behind her as she made her was up to the thrones she turned to her dad and with a small fake smile she sarcastically said "hello father I'm so excited to be wed off to some strange bloke this year aren't you ready for that?" John laughed "Deana you know it's not as bad as you think" Deana rolled her eyes and grinned "are we going to do our annual bets on who the kingdom is going to be before the come in?" John chuckled "and you always win some how" Deana grinned as she sat down on the throne and waited for the first prince.

The doors opened revealing the first kingdom which were the goblins the green short creatures glared and had wicked grins plastered to there faces twenty four seven there prince was tall for a goblin at about four foot tall he had a good posture but yellow teeth and gross fingernails that looked overgrown and infected Deana had to hold back her grimace as John greeted the king prince and a few of there servants the goblin king looked towards Deana who was still sat in her throne with colours caressing her face from the light shining through the stain glass window of her family portraits one half was of Mary, John, herself and Sam and the other half was of John, Kate, herself Sam and Adam. They where new so Deana looked the exact same in each of the halves of the stained glass windows. The goblin king then asked "is that the beautiful daughter we've heard about?" John glanced back at his daughter who was half lost in thought staring at the cream coloured walls before John called her "Deana come here and meet prince Gnarlak and king Banrig" Deana sighed as she stood up and cascaded down the few steps from the thrones and over to the goblins who checked her out with sharp eyes and Deana smiled before curtsying and saying "hello king Banrig and Prince Gnarlak of the cavernous expanse, I am princess Deana of the courteous land" the goblins nodded as prince Gnarlak not so quietly asked king Banrig "why do I have to marry this oaf of a woman?" Deana glared and John nodded to Deana with there agreed thought of never going to happen as Banrig glared at his son and asked John "could we be shown to our living area for the time being here" John nodded and called out "Hobs!" A little creature about half the size of the goblin king who was about three feet tall give or take the creature wore a deep purple tunic and a leather belt and smiled at John before asking in a high pitched voice "what would king John like from Hobs?" John smiled and asked "Hobs could you escort king Banrig and his son to there rooms for the time they are here for" Hobs smiled he was a little cute thing who did everything John said without question and loved doing his job and he was known as a Brownie, Hobs lead the goblins out of the throne room and off to there quarters as Deana and John waiting for the next kingdom to arrive.

John looked at Deana as she said "there's no way I hell that I am marrying Gnarlak" John chuckled and said "I know I don't think he wants to marry you either" the door burst open again but this time it wasn't a prince or well it was but not a suitable one as he ran giggling in being chased by a much taller prince.

The toddler ran right up to Deana and grinned "De De De" he jumped up and down as the tall prince ran up to the boy and said "of course he'd go find you rather then put his trousers back on" Deana laughed at her younger brother and said "well good news I won't have to marry a goblin" Sam laughed as Deana scooped up Adam and asked him "are you being fussy for sammy? Yes you are yes you are" Adam wriggled in delight as John rolled his eyes and scolded "Deana make him presentable we can't have him going round the castle in only his nappy and shirt" Sam handed Deana the trousers and braces for Adam as she then began to dress him and cooe "who's a presentable little boy you are yes you are Adam" John rolled his eyes and ordered "both you and Adam need to leave Deana is going to meet the next prince anytime soon" Deana sighed and handed Adam off to Sam before exclaiming "your no fun!" John laughed as Sam and Adam left before explaining "Deana I'm not having another prince believe that your Adam's unwed mother he exclaimed that to his father infront of a whole bunch of kings who had many questions which I had to explain that you weren't the mother of Adam thoroughly" Deana snorted remember telling that poor prince that she was Adam's mother he went scampering off to his daddy.

John sighed as Deana stopped laughing and the next kingdom arrived the doors opened wide and a chuckle was heard as a tall blonde with blue eyes entered the room his wings dragged slightly behind him with white feathers which merged into red at the very end Deana was definitely intrigued as John grinned and welcomed the stranger with a hug as he began "Lucifer my goodness it's been ages" the man grinned and said "yes it has goodness it's been four years since I've seen you thank you for helping me settle as the leader of the cacodaemons rift I mean it's been a struggle with the last ruler leaving an impact also a boy to take on after me but yeah it's cool you should visit again and well well well this must be the princess" Deana smile and waved awkwardly as John agreed "yes that is Deana she is the one who's going to get married hopefully sooner rather than later" Deana huffed and muttered "wow tell me how you really feel John" John didn't hear her but Lucifer did and chuckled "what a strong willed one you've got here" Deana glared as John agreed "yes she is, so Lucifer what brings you here?" Lucifer laughed "John I'm here to be a suitor for your daughter I know I'm a bit older than her and I'm not a prince but I was one and well I'm only twenty two" John looked taken aback before grinning "well isn't that just excellent!? Deana you must get to know Lucifer" John chuckled before continuing "well you've already got my vote you just have to win over my daughter here she's very particular and not a fan of most girly things but I'm sure you can get a long anyways" Lucifer smiled "I do hope so too this will bring our kingdoms closer together" Deana looked to her father who said "Deana take Lucifer to his room you have the rest of the day off from this to spend it with him" Deana laughed "oh but won't poor Gnarlak get jealous" John snorted "don't be ridiculous that goblin boy would rather have sex with a goat and you know it" Lucifer chuckled as he swayed on his feet with his hands behind his back.

John then ushered the duo off and out of the room.

Lucifier turned to Deana and started "you have a wonderful dress did you know red is my favourite colour?" Deana snorted "well did you know this is one of the most uncomfortable things you could wear?" Lucifer laughed loudly as Deana walked off with him following she then heard Shrubs "Charlie says it's a code blue one hundred percent fuckable Greek god entering with some others" Deana laughed and muttered "dudes code red" Lucifer looked at her funny but just continued to walk until they hit the stair which was when she could hear clattering which sounded like her room she coughed and felt awkward around a friend of her fathers but he seem to just be enjoying his surroundings before saying "so what does code red mean" Deana gasped and said "you weren't supposed to hear that" Lucifer couldn't help himself he cackled and said "sorry Deana I'm an angel I can hear almost everything like that clattering in one of the rooms up stairs and how fake that cough was" Deana rubbed the back of her neck as her dress touched each and every step and they went up.

they reached the top where Deana almost fell straight back down due to a two year old jumping into her arms and shouting "De!" Deana hugged the toddler tight as she asked "where did you leave Sammy?" The toddler chuckled before he noticed Lucifer looming over them he gasped "who day De? Do I have to play family again to get him to go away?" Lucifer chuckled and said "no little man I've already heard that story before from a letter your father sent when we were catching up with one another" the toddler nodded and then said "Sammy not hear" Deana laughed and asked "where is Sammy then?" The toddler tapped Deana to be let down and ran over to a storage room and pointed at it before Deana opened the door allowing her brother to fall out and wipe down his green suit which had lovely gold embroidery on the blazer it wasn't anything specific it was more just swirls. Sam looked at Deana then to Lucifer who wore an all black suit yet it gave the impression it was armer which suited his body type perfectly. Sam eyed Lucifer up and down before asking "is this the guy who's going to steal you away from your family!?" Deana laughed "I don't know he was one of our father's friends who is the ruler of the cocadaemon rift" Lucifer grinned as his wings fluttered "yes and as you can see I'm an angel and better than the suitor before who was an odd goblin" Sam nodded and said "well anyways I'll take Adam and go back to the nursery" Deana laughed "don't let Adam trick you into a self locking cupboard again" Sam sighed "won't" and he was off as Deana lead Lucifer the opposite way to his room which just so happened to by right next to hers she gasped "oh wow you aren't getting rid of me at all I guess" Lucifer laughed "I'm glad because that means I can get to know you better Deana stood at her door as Lucifer stood at his.

Abruptly Deana's door burst open wide and she was dragged inside as she let out a yelp and Lucifer rushed to help her but was met with a door slammed in his face.

Deana turned to Charlie and exasperated "dude not cool!" Charlie laughed and said "total straight hotty just arrived right up your street whilst you were chaperoning the prince your dad likes" Deana huffed "really!?" Shrubs nodded as Charlie blurted out "God you look delicious in that dress man" Dean straight out laughed "thanks Charlie" Charlie grinned and said "so are you done with the hi I'm Deana do you like my dads wealth and a vagina well then I'm the chick for you?" Deana snorted "I wish I could say that and I wish I could just up a go but I'm supposed to be looking after Lucifer" Shrubs then suggested "knock him out?" Charlie chocked as she laughed and Deana chuckled but Shrubs was being one hundred percent serious about knocking Lucifer out and Deana rushed to the door only to open it to find that Lucifer was about to knock he sighed "oh thank goodness your alright your father would have gutted me if I let anything bad happen to you" Deana glared "yeah sure whatever but could you stay in your room and lie to my dad and say I spent the whole day with you?" Lucifer chuckled "funny but what would you be doing?" Deana cleared her throat as Charlie answered "going out with her friends" Lucifer squinted his eyes at Charlie and said "and where would you and your friends be going?" Deana huffed and Shrubs said "damn I get why you don't want to marry" Deana laughed and turned back to face Shrubs "I know right so much lack of control and literally no freedom" Charlie sighed as she said "Shrubs was right we should have just knocked him out" Lucifer took a step closer to Deana and laughed "do you think you could knock me out I'd love to see you try" Deana smiled and said "if I do there's no telling my dad that I wasn't with you and if I don't I'll have you higher on the rank of marriage, fair deal?" Lucifer grinned "sure" and Deana grabbed his head before smashing it into the door frame and that was Lucifer having a heavy nap. Charlie laughed "everytime it still gets me" Deana grinned and dragged lucifer back to his room placing him on his bed and rushing back out to her room with a huge grin plastered apon her face.

"Let's get ready!" Deana exclaimed excitedly with her door closed she allowed Charlie to choose her outfit as she rumaged she asked "dress or no dress?" Deana sighed "hmm you choose" Charlie grinned as she pulled out a shortish dress with four belts which all interconnected so you could hang stuff on them, the dress was green and white the green coverd most of the dress like an outer layer while the white was on the long sleeves and on the lower path of the dress Charlie threw it at Deana who immediately started to change before grabbing the two small leather satchels and attaching them to the dress she tied the sleeves so her hands were visible and it emphasised the green foliage embroidery on the sleeves Deana then threw her dagger and gloves into one of the satchels and grabbed her sword and shoved it through the belt before pulling on her long leather boots which reached her kneecaps she then turned to Charlie and said "let's go to Honeydale" Charlie grinned and Shrubs hopped up onto the window frame before opening it and saying "hurry" they all swiftly exited the castle and skipped off into the surrounding woods.

Charlie, Deana and Shrubs found the sandy gravel trail to Honeydale and were off. 

After thirty minutes of walking they arrived at the out skirts of the Courteous land and arrived at the sign which stated 'Welcome to Honeydale' Deana smiled at the familiar sign and began running freely with a smile stuck on her face like super glue.

Charlie laughed as she said "and we have made it your highness to Honeydale where the best burgers ever are made and the bees never sting" Deana laughed as she bumped straight into something hard she spun around to only see her favourite vampire ever. Deana screamed "BENNY!" he laughed solemnly and softly said in his southern accent "well hey Deana long time no see" Deana hugged Benny so hard and said "yeah and I hate it I missed you bestie" Charlie interrupted and pulled them apart and exclaimed "woah woah woah Benny you do not have the right to take my title as the bestie of princess Deana Winchester that is mine and mine only!" Benny laughed smoothly and said "sorry Charlie I just haven't seen Deana in forever" Deana sighed as Charlie explained "well that's probably because it's the time of there year when suitors come from all around the land to get with our princess" Benny sighed "already how did you get out of John's glare?" Shrubs answered this one "she knocked the king of cacodaemons rift out after promising John she'd look after him" Benny laughed hard and loud at this before saying "of course you did, well anyways Ellen has got some amazing pie at the Roadhouse Tavern for you to try" Deana's face lit up with a grin from ear to ear before sprinting off down the cobbled road to the Tavern.

A few minutes later she arrived and rushed through the doors and everyone turned to stare at her as her hair and dress swayed from all the running she turned to the bar and called out "Ellen? Benny promised me you had pie" a loud jolly laugh came from the kitchen which was behind the bar and through a two way old oak door which Ellen used her back to open so she could exit the kitchen and greet Deana Ellen was a long haired brunette who appeared with a quirk at her lips whilst wearing her long sleeved floor length Russian violet coloured dress with her leather waist corset to finish off her look and she held a metal dish with a fresh baked pie and Deana sped from the door to the counter and sat down on one of the old burgandy bar stools Ellen lifted Deana's chin with a motherly tenderness before asked "now hun what brings you here because if your father finds out about this a specially month you being here he will kill me and lock you up in a tower" Deana chuckled "as long as Lucifer keeps up his deal you'll be fine" Ellen gave Deana a questioning look and asked "Deana what deal did you make?" Deana sighed "well it wasn't exactly my idea but the deal was if I could knock him out he'd tell my father that I was with him all day" Ellen chuckled disapprovingly but still handed Deana a plate of warm apple pie which Deana handed off way to much gold for which Ellen was about to correct her but Deana stopped her "you know your never going to win that argument I'm paying you for the best pie in the land of course I'm going to over pay you" Ellen smiled and put the money in her jar and set it behind the bar.

As Deana was tucking into her second mouthful of pie the doors to the tavern opened again revealing Charlie and Shrubs who sat beside Deana and Charlie joked with a grin "you eat like you've never been fed before" Deana ignored her as she moaned in delight at her third mouthful before saying "Ellen did I ever tell you how heavenly your pie is" which Shrubs replied "every time you eat it which is basically everyday" Deana grinned and continued to eat moaning with every bite.

After eating Deana said goodbye to Ellen and payed again for the pie which left Ellen chuckling "that girl will never learn".

Charlie put her arm around Deana's shoulder's and asked "how come you never put on any weight yet you eat so much food that is bad for you?" Deana laughed "it's because I train almost everyday so I get my exercise in meaning I will never gain weight" Deana chuckled in delight until Shrubs pointed out "well not until your with child" Deana stopped in her tracks with her face paling she hadn't thought of that with her father trying to marry her off to every prince in the universe and Charlie brought her into her embrace and said "did you really forget about that De? Once you are married off you will be expected to get pregnant for an heir" Deana grimaced and admitted "I did forget and I really don't want this why can't I just not get married I don't want to leave home or leave you guys or Sammy and Adam" Charlie brushed her hand through Deana's hair and said "hey how about we get back to the castle because the sun should be setting soon and I don't want your dad to realise you dumped his mate knocked out in his room" Deana chuckled slightly and agreed with a small nod.

A carriage was passing by them when Deana got the idea to knock on the door which opened as it stopped Deana smiled and asked "hey where are you heading?" A blue eyed man answered "we're heading to the castle, did you need something?" Deana smiled "um well we're heading the same way and we'll it's getting dark so would you mind giving me and my friends a lift?" The blue eyed man nodded and said "mind your step and don't mind my son he's just going to be reading until we stop" Deana smiled as she sat beside a black haired man reading alone whilst Charlie and Shrubs sat next to the blue eyed man who allowed them to get in.

Deana chuckled "so what brings you here to the courteous lands?" The blue eyed man smiled "well I am king Micheal of the maecenas of evangelism" Deana chuckled "well that explains it since the king is trying to marry off his daughter like she is an object" Micheal looked her up and down and asked "well since you seem to know so much about this situation maybe you know the princess?" Charlie snorted and Micheal turned to her and asked "what's so funny?" Charlie answered "nothing your majesty" he nodded as he allowed Deana to answer his original question "yes I know her quite well I'm... her... handmaiden" Micheal nodded suspiciously as Deana continued "and yes I know she doesn't want to be wed or be stopped from her daily routine she really hates it when the kingdoms look at her as if she was nothing more that an object or a damsel in distress so if you really want to get on her good side don't treat her like that and also don't assume you know her when you really don't because the last man who underestimated her got knocked out with one bash of his head by her" Micheal smiled "I guess she is better suited for my brother than I thought she was he doesn't like the rules either and would rather be anywhere but going to this thing maybe he has a chance yet to win her over and produce an heir with her for the throne" Deana sighed and said "another thing is that Deana hates isn't just the thought of marriage and loosing her life to someone else she hates the thought that she would just be there to be impregnated she doesn't even want to get pregnant she's only nineteen I mean when you were nineteen did you want that well your a boy so you wouldn't understand would you?" Micheal sighed "I guess no one ever really thinks about what the women would want well taking that into consideration if we are chosen we will make sure princess Deana is treated with fairness and the way she wants though she will eventually have to get pregnant so that our kingdom has an heir but yes we can wait for her decision" Deana smiled as the carriage pulled up and she looked to Charlie and Shrubs before saying "well we must make ourselves scarce before John gets pissed again" they jumped out of the carriage and ran up the side of the castle before climbing up to Deana's room.

Back in the carriage Micheal woke Castiel up and thought "why would king John be pissed at a handmaiden" he sighed but the duo got out of the carriage and Castiel sighed "why do I have to see a most likely spoilt princess?" Micheal slapped the back of Castiel's head messing up his bedhead even more Castiel glared at his brother before straightening out his long beige coat which contrasted with his suit which was black dress trousers with double buttons to keep it up and his jet back tailcoat and white shirt which was half tucked into his trousers, Micheal sighed and made Castiel look a bit more presentable.

Deana laughed with her friends as she got her red dress back on with Charlie's help and Shrub neatened her hair so she could go and greet the kingdom of the Maecenas of evangelism. Once she looked presentable Deana said her goodbyes to her friends and exited her bedroom only to bump straight into Lucifer who looked pissed as he gripped her wrist and hissed "what are you playing at Deana knocking me out to go out with your friends I ought to tell your father about your behaviour" Deana struggled and retorted "but a deals a deal Lucifer and you know this" Lucifer glared at her and tightened his grip on her wrist which ended up with Deana yelling "let go of me you pig!" Lucifer laughed "not so strong now are we princess?" Deana glared before punching him square in his nose which began to bleed letting Deana make her escape down the stairs and to the throne room which she entered with a smirk as her father looked surprised as he said "you didn't have to come back you could have stayed with Lucifer" Deana sighed and said "father to tell you the truth I haven't been with Lucifer I locked myself in my room when he wasn't leaving me alone I stayed with Charlie and Shrubs all day until I left to tell you this and he tried to attack me" Deana lifted up her wrist to show John the red mark that had formed she had practically told her father the whole truth when he sighed "that bastard don't worry Deana there are more men for you to choose from than him" Deana nodded.

the doors to the throne room reopened to reveal Micheal and his brother entering Micheal saw Deana and thought back to the carriage ride and thought well the handmaiden seems like she was wrong because that dress is completely what Deana would hate wearing so why would she wear it if she hated it? Deana turned around to Micheal's hidden shock she was the handmaiden Deana gave him a cheeky wink as John began "King Micheal long time no see now you are one of the lucky few to meet my daughter today she was with her friends after a misfortune with your brother Lucifer and that's when Deana saw there wings Micheal had two beautiful baby blue wings which had a glistening touch to them and his brother had two black wings which were a iridescent black they where huge but not as big as Micheal's who smiled at Deana who was bewitched by the duo's wings.

John brought Deana out of her thoughts by saying "Deana would you like to introduce yourself" Deana nodded "I am princess Deana Winchester of the courteous lands daughter of king John and deceased queen Mary Winchester sister to Samuel and half sister to Adam, is that it?" John rolled his eyes and nodded until Deana added "oh and if you see your brother with a broken nose remind him that it was a princess that did it to him" John glared at Deana and said "to much information Deana" she chuckled and said "so I should run off and get to Sam he's got training in a few minutes" John nodded and said "you can take king Micheal and prince Castiel to there rooms" Deana nodded and walked off in front of the duo who followed her.

Micheal beamed "you sligh woman why didn't you tell us that you weren't Deana's handmaiden but you were actually Deana?" She grinned and said "well firstly it's more fun and secondly I get your real reaction towards things and lastly would you have believed me?" Micheal thought for a second and shook his head as they made it to the stairs.

Deana headed up with the duo and Castiel was lost in thought at Deana she was gorgeous with her forest green eyes which held slender strands of gold like spikes pointing to her pupil which made it seem as if the sun had filtered through her irises like it would to leaves and her sylphlike waist that he wished to wrap his arms around but it wasn't just her body that Castiel was attracted to it was her wild personality which made her stand out of the crowd and her strength to know who Micheal was and lie to him so he could see her point of view from a woman he may listen to because she would have had insight on things.

They reached the top of the marble staircase and where heading for there room with Deana who stalked off she knew what she wanted and wasn't going to let anyone else get in her way a minute later Deana stopped infront of a door which read Castiel and said "I guess your room is next to mine and you can use the balcony thank goodness Lucifer doesn't get that privilege" Castiel chuckled and that's when Deana realised how deep and masculine his voice was it nearly tipped her over the edge but she was removed from her thoughts by Lucifer's shouting "you little bitch you broke my fucking nose" Deana turned around and with a smirk she calmly stated "I know" Lucifer yelled out in anger as she lunged at Deana both Michael and Castiel looked like they were about to defend her until she said "I can handle him don't worry" and she punched Lucifer in the jaw and said "see" Lucifer's eyes glowed red as he was about to use his grace to attack Deana but she was quicker and wrapped his arm around his back threading to break it whilst she put Lucifer into a head lock and asked monosyllabicly "do you yield?" Lucifer struggled but eventually he gasped out "I-I yield" Deana grinned and let Lucifer fall to the ground face first before saying "well now Michela your room is opposite Lucifers and the rules with the rooms is that they've been enchanted so that only people invited can enter well expect me and John we can enter your rooms when we please but don't worry it's not like I'm going to be barging into your rooms but I can say much about my father since he has a tendency to do things like that Micheal chuckled and said "well we mustn't keep Samuel waiting on his sister must we Castiel?" Castiel nodded and said "see you another time princess Deana" Deana laughed "you can just call me Deana" Castiel nodded as Deana entered her room to change her outfit.

Deana opened her wardrobe and took out her long armoured dress that was an ash grey colour with a leather belt the skirt to it was long but had no front she placed it on after removing her dress the long sleeves had a wrap around vambraces made of steel which matched the shoulder blades which were different with having three layers of steel leading midway down her upper arm strapped on by with leather she grabbed her leather leggings and pulled them on they were tight around her which if she didn't wear the long skirt to her armoured dress she was sure her ass looked great in them she sighed as she pulled on her long boots which reached her knees to protect her shins from impact they were different from her other ones they had buckles instead of laces and had a much thicker and harder leather to protect her from blows to het shin, ankle and feet she then equipped herself with her daggers and her sword which was sharp and was made for her by the royal blacksmith who had practiced fighting with Deana to make her the perfect sword she smiled at it before tying her hair up into a braided bun and exiting her room to find Sam. 

She walked down the hallway towards the nursery where she found a sleeping Adam in his crib and a bored Sam who looked livid as Deana sighed "okay we can talk while you practice about what's on your mind" Sam got up and allowed Deana to help him with his armour.

They arrived down in the garden in the spot with the most space which Deana had dedicated to being the training area. Say got into position as Deana did the same and they began to fight whilst Deana asked "do what's up brother?" Sam sighed "I hate how I'm not allowed in my room and I have to stay in the nursery for the entire month" Deana replied "sorry Sammy they are the rules since last year you got in the way of prince Harborn who was trying to have a normal conversation with me and then complained to my father that you interrupted and pulled me away from the conversation which is true and that was because your room is opposite mine which no one is going to stay in and you know that" Sam sighed "I guess so" then Deana joked "well Sammy you are still my baby brother so you can stay in the nursery because to me your still a baby" Sam looked pissed at that analogy and started attacking Deana with all his might which Deana defended easily before knocking her brother to the ground and pointing her sword at his neck "you'd be dead" she moved her sword away and held out her hand for him before pulling him up as he said "never call me a baby or imply that I am a baby again" Deana laughed and asked "would you duel over it I mean we are prepared and I'll go easy on you I'll use the same strength and agility you have against you so you'll be fine and well if I win I can call you and imply that you are a baby my baby brother and treat you occasionally like one of you deserve it but if I loose I will never call you baby or imply you are a baby again and I'll talk to John about getting your room back for the month" Sam hastily agreed and got ready to duel Deana.

Deana used all of Sam's techniques and strength and still won with a grin as he lay on the grass annoyed he hit the ground with his fists and feet before taking Deana's hand as she said in a baby voice "is someone having a toddler hissy fit?" Sam glared at Deana before announcing "you cheated!" Deana laughed "Sammy you know me I never cheat I lie and deceive yes but I never cheat" Sam sighed sticking his tongue out at Deana as clapping was heard from above it was a king they hadn't seen before he was looking out of the window and called down "that was wonderful letting your sister win like that" Sam laughed hard as Deana glared up at the man and shouted "come down and I'll show you it's not like that" the man smirked and called down "fine if you really want your ass beaten princess I will come down and do it my self" he left his window as Deana turned to Sam and asked "do I go easy on him?" Sam laughed "nah he deserves it" Deana smirked and put her sword in its sleeve as she waited.

The king arrived in his armour and smiled triumphantly at Deana before introducing himself "I am king Goldwin from the kingdom of the silver moon and I am here with my two twin sons Zenon and Uriens who both wish to be wed with you" Deana laughed "yeah who doesn't want to marry me at this rate" Goldwin chuckled "I guess so now shall we?" Deana nodded "we shall" Goldwin began by striking Deana who defended with ease as she said "don't go easy on me" the king laughed "it'll be your death wish" he began using all of his might against Deana who fought him off with easy she laughed "this is like child's play" she aggravated him continuously until he was on the ground with his sword cast to the side and Deana's foot on his chest and sword to his throat she asked calmly "do you yield?" Goldwin gulped and answered hurriedly "I yield" Dean got off of him and offered her hand which he denied and insulted her "no princess should have that much power or strength it's unlady like" Deana laughed "I'm sorry but just because you lost doesn't mean you have to insult me" Sam looked at the king and said "well it's your own fault for underestimating my sister" Deana smiled at her brother who noticed that Goldwin was sweating like made even he himself had broken into a sweat and Deana looked like she hadn't even fought anyone she look pristine not even a hint of redness on her cheeks she didn't even look warmed up she just stood and watched Goldwin try and defend himself and make Deana look weak and she just said "so are you going to help my brother train or will you leave it to the one who just beat your ass" he glared at her with a disgusted look and stalked off the best he could.

Deana turned back to Sam and said "I hope you were taking notes on what not to do from him and how well your sister can fight" Sam laughed as he drew his sword and Deana began slowly and said "okay let's break this one up if I attack from your lower side how best is it to defend and defeat me?" Sam watched Deana get into position and answered "I should put my sword on top of yours and bend down and round to flick it away from me in hopes you will drop the sword" Deana smiled "yes don't ever put it below and put up because that gives me range of your neck and face" Sam nodded as Deana continued for hours showing Sam different techniques and correct his mistakes until Hobs appeared and began with his high pitched voice "princess Deana is required in the dining hall to greet the princes and to eat among them, prince Samuel is also required at the dining hall but to be quiet and not to intrude on Deana's conversation you will sit by Adam and your father at table on with the kings and those who will not be marrying Deana" Deana smiled "thank you Hobs" Hobs smiled and added "I have placed a dress on your bed Deana since king John wishes you not to be in your training robes" Deana nodded and headed inside with Sam.

Deana punched Sam in the arm and said "your getting better Sammy boy" Sam chuckled and punched Deana back and said "I think this might have been my favourite lesson since it wasn't just me getting beaten by you" Deana chuckled as they headed up the marble staircase.

Deana dropped Sam off at the nursery to change before heading to her room she opened her door and entered seeing the dress Hobs had gotten for her. 

Deana put on the dress which was a deep midnight blue that had golden shimmering crystals spread across the dress like stars in the night sky the dress was lined with a gold trim which at the front lifted up to the bodice of the dress revealing a beau blue which contrasted the midnight and emphasises the gold swirls on the hips and the delicate threads of gold making it seem like there are constellations on the bodice and down the centre was a long piece of golden fabric which held sapphires which trailed down to Deana's mid thigh all in a straight line from in between Deana's breasts which were cupped and pushed up by the dress to show off there bust and from the tops of the cups was the trail of golden trim again which lead into the off the shoulder sleeves which didn't attach leaving Deana which a whisp of small fabric going around her back like a cape but leaving her back revealed for all to see up until her waist corset which ensured the dress stayed on tight. Deana let her hair fall loose from her braided bun before brushing it out and down and putting it in a half up and half down and placing her tiara on top which was for this dress a golden tiara that hung loosely around the back of her head and came up not so high form her head at the front but had a big sapphire in the centre and a chain that went onto Deana's forehead and held a smaller sapphire Deana then grabbed the heels which were high but not too high and were blue with a gold chain around them which held a sapphire at the toe of her shoe.

Deana looked at herself in her mirror before deciding to leave her room and head down to the dining hall.

Deana's heels clicked behind her as she made her way to the marble stairs and began descending them whilst humming to herself wishing she wasn't in the situation she was in, Deana got to the last step and hopped off before swiftly making her way to the dining hall doors she sighed and decided she wasn't going to let anyone tell her what to do and she will look as if she has no care for anyone in the room Deana sighed and opened the doors letting the chandelier light escape to beam down apon her she held her head high and stalked inside the room everyone stared at her as they sat waiting to be served there dinner there was close to fifty princes waiting at the table she was ment to sit at all on there seats on the long table Deana saw Lucifer glare at her before giving her a small smile she saw the goblin prince grimace a bunch of boys ogled at her and that's when she saw Castiel sitting on the far end with less princes near by she smiled and walked determinedly before sitting down opposite him with no princes next to her she felt relieved before she saw that Castiel was reading.

Deana smirked before placing her finger on the book and pushing it down making Castiel look up at her he smiled "hello Deana" Deana smiled and tried to hide what Castiel's deep voice did to her as she replied "hey Castiel thank goodness that I'm acquainted with you because I'm not great with people or princes for that matter especially not princes" Castiel chuckled marking his book and putting it down he looked her up and down before clearing his throat and saying "you have a nice dress" Deana laughed and said "you fell for the dress didn't you, you looked straight there didn't you?" Castiel coughed and said "I have no idea what you are on about" Deana smiled and then she was tapped on her shoulder by a tall man with purple eyes and white hair who asked "would you like to join us over there?" Deana looked over at all the boys waving and said "I'm good here I think" the boy nodded and walked back to his spot Deana looked back at Castiel who said "you can go over there if you want" Deana laughed "why would I do that?" Castiel squinted his eyes at her before Deana heard chairs screeching and realised that all the princes had moved to sit next to her she felt crowded and Castiel rolled his eyes like he knew this would happen the boy on the right of Deana was huge and blue with crooked giant teeth and an odd smile he was an orc for sure and then the boy on her left had horns and pointy ears which made Deana sure if she looked under the table he would have hooves he was a faun she felt every princes eyes on her which was one hundred percent more uncomfortable than you think.

Deana sighed before deciding to strike up a conversation "so do I have something on my face or do you stare at every girl you meet?" She chuckled as the boys everted there gaze and one of them muttered "well at least she has a good sense of humour" Deana then remembered "oh the princes of the kingdom the silvermoon your father might need a pick me up and better lessons at sword fighting because he was way to easy to beat" Castiel chuckled avoiding everyone's gaze as the two twins argued back "there's no way you beat our father you a just a woman a princess even you wouldn't have the strength to beat our dad" Deana laughed "if you'd like to duel I'm free after dinner" that stopped them in there tracks and Deana felt like she broke the ice at the table because all the boys were talking again.

The food arrive not long after appearing in front of them for starters it was a leak and potatoe soup which Deana enjoyed quite a bit even though there was no meat in the dish it was still delicious and she had finished her whole bowl which was swiftly cleared away once she had done so though she ate quickly she did it in the most lady like way since they were all watching her and she didn't want to look a fool in front of them.

before the main course the faun turned to her with a small smile and began "princess Deana I am prince Kotyl of the Enchanted valley" Deana nodded with a smile and said "well it's lovely to meet you" she then turned to see the colossal man beside him making the knives and forks look tiny in his hands he smiled down at Deana and introduced him self "hello princess Deana I am Dalith of Titans reach and though most of the giants that you meet want to eat you my people are harmless" Deana chuckled with Dalith as she said "I mean I'd hope I'd be able to hold my own in a fight but you'd easily squish me" Dalith laughed hard at Deana's words he seemed like a big old softy that could squish her without even trying to and that's when Deana added "sometimes I think my brother is part giant he's that tall" Dalith laughed and so did Kotyl and then the main course arrived it was a tender and soft roast beef which melted in your mouth with all the herbs and flavours from cooking mixing together to make a mouth watering piece of meat which made Deana have to hold back a moan due to how good the meat was and then it was the roast potatoes which had a crisp outside but a soft fluffy buttery inside and with the gravy the potatoes were heavenly even the broccoli was delicious it was steamed to perfection though many people hated broccoli Deana was sure that anyone would love these broccoli and lastly was the Yorkshire pudding I mean who could go wrong with a Yorkshire pudding? Yet this one was gorgeous with the gravy drizzled on top it was perfection and Deana has finished her whole plate of food in record timing.

Deana sat back slightly with a small smile laced across her lips as she sipped her red wine before placing it back down and enjoying her odd company of many princes. Castiel avoided everyone's eye contact but hers she felt singled out and it wasn't a bad feeling it was like he had chosen her and only her to devote his full attention to which made her have to hold in a blush... a blush!? Was she catching feelings!? A crush even!?!?

Deana tried to ignore her thoughts that attacked her like a swarm of angry bees and to her luck dessert was served it was a wobbly looking thing yet it had the best creamy texture in the world it was spectacular and Deana almost let out a moan which would have been embarrassing but she was thankful that it wasn't pie for dessert or she would have moaned loudly on every bite she finished off her crème brûlée and made sure to use her napkin that was on her lap to wipe over her mouth she stayed seated until people began to leave and she announced "I will be leaving now" and stood up and walked off unknowingly being followed by a certain blue eyed man.

Deana got to the staircase before whipping her head round only to sigh in relief and said "oh Cas you scared me I thought you were someone else" Castiel laughed as Deana added "is it okay for me to call you Cas?" Castiel nodded with a smile and walked up the marble stairs beside Deana and her clicking midnight blue heels that matched her beautiful dress.

They get to the top of the stairs and Cas escorted Deana back to her bedroom which made Deana snort out "such a gentleman" Castiel shrugged and took Deana's hand and kissed it before saying "goodnight Deana" Deana blushed deeply as she hummed "goodnight Cas" Deana opened her bedroom door and entered then once her door was closed Castiel went to his room and began removing his garments so that her was just in his tight ebony black boxers he then her lifted up the duvet of his double bed and lay inside reliving his day and letting his wings stretch before relaxing down and falling asleep to the thought of the green eyed princess in the room next door.

Deana stripped off her dress and neatly cast it aside before pulling on her long baby blue silk nightgown on and pulling her hair down so it flowed naturally she then hopped into her king sized bed and letting out a mini squeal and a giggle all she could think about was Castiel with his blue eyes and deep voice he was just perfect 

Chapter Text

The birds chirped loudly awaking the green eyed princess. She huffed and pulled her self out of her bed and walked over to her en-suite. She brushed her teeth and hair before heading to her balcony to veiw the morning sky.

Deana stepped out onto the cold stone floor with her bare feet. She grimaced at the cold but tried to ignore it so that she could enjoy the morning. The sky still had the rays of orange and pink dominating the skyline creating a wonderful display for Deana to watch. Until she heard a knock at her door and she already knew that it was Hobs waiting to be let in so he could pick her outfit out for her the way the king wishes. Deana sighed but called out "you can come in Hobs" the brownie entered closing the door behind him and wading over to Deana's wardrobe before calling out "princess Deana would you mind coming back inside?" Deana sighed but obliged to his request.

Deana walked back inside her room from her balcony with her baby blue nightgown swaying in the slight breeze. She closed the door and turned to Hobs who smiled while saying "I've gotten your dress out and ready for you princess Deana" Deana smiled and walked over picking up the silk lilac gown that she smiled at before taking a shower.

Deana entered her bathroom and twisted the nobs to allow the hot water to rain down she pulled off her nightgown and her panties before stepping into the hot water that engulfed her petite frame she revelled in the warmth and the rain of water shooting down apon her. Deana scrubbed her hair and body before allowing the water to wash the soapy residue away and turning the nobs off she grabbed her towel and wrapped it around her waist before taking her other towel on the railing and wrapping it around her dripping long hair. Deana sighed in satisfaction before opening her bathroom door and walking to her dress she took out a pair of matching panties which where silk and lilac coloured as well as having lace embroidered onto them in the form of lilacs and leaves.

Deana pulled on her dress after removing her towels slipping on her panties and drying her hair the dress fit snuggly around her waist and chest pushing her breasts up like her dresses yesterday Deana hated this because she knew they were all going to stare there and not listen to her when she spoke. The bodice was embroidered with lace lilacs and other floral patterns which stopped at her hips and the skirt flowed outwards with seven layers of fabric stopping at different stages to form depth and volume in the dress and on the fourth layer it was lined with lace patterns matching the bodice. Each of the seven layers lifted up at the centre front of the dress leaving room for the bottoms layer to show off patterns of lace flowers and embroidery. The dresses actual colour seemed ombré with lighter purple's subtly mixed in with the lilac adding to the dresses design. The dress also had no sleeves which left Deana's arms bare and showed off all of her freckles on her arms and shoulders Deana knew she was adequately dressed in John's mind but she just felt uncomfortable but she pushed her thoughts aside as she pushed her long sandy brunette hair off of her shoulders she then picked up her tiara which had a purple orchid diamond in the centre and a few each side of the tiara but all placed specifically on the golden frame to show off the kingdoms riches Deana knew that from how many tiara's she owned and forced to wear unless it was a really special occasion where she would wear her kingdom tiara with her father who wore the kingdom crown which showed each kingdom who they were and yet Deana would rather do her own thing and not sit or stand for hours while her father spoke to some random king or queen.

Deana sighed and slipped on her matching heels before exiting her room bumping straight into her tall brother Sam. Deana smiled sweetly and asked "so Sammy how was sleeping in the nursery?" Sam glared at Deana and said "the nurse who helps with Adam was strict and made sure I was asleep in bed at the same time as Adam" Deana laughed and closed her bedroom door before walking forward and saying "well sorry to tell you Sam but that's what happens when you stay in the nursery I remember before you moved into your new room you were followed by the nursery nurse because those are the rules whoever stays in the nursery isn't old enough to be left alone for to long without supervision" Sam huffed and dragged his feet along the hard marble floor.

Deana stalked across the hallway with her head held high to show she had no intention to be wed and had pride in who she was. They arrived at the stairs and headed down them whilst talking, with Sam messing with Dean by jesting "any prince got you wanting that white dress and babies" Deana rolled her eyes and spat back "Sammy may I remind you as soon as I'm gone father will be looking for a bride for you and you'll be one of those princes trying to get the princess" Sam gulped and shut up which made Deana laugh loudly so when they reached the bottom of the stairs bumping into there father he glared at her and spoke up "Deana stop laughing like that you shouldn't be laughing that hard it's unlady like of you and you need to be looking your best if you want to find a husband" Deana smiled "so it is a choice! Sam I mustn't stay here for long I will be off doing my favourite things which include beating up your knights father" John glared at Deana and shouted "you know fully well what I meant and you will be engaged by the end of this month do you here me Deana?" Deana rolled her eyes and sighed "I think all of the courteous lands heard you John so quit it some people just aren't cut out for a married life" John glared at Deana and shouted "you will stop this Tom foolery now Deana and find yourself a husband to be or I will choose for you and it will most likely be Lucifer!" Before Deana could get another word in a cackle was heard and it was literally speak of the devil.

Lucifer interjected "John what is this I am hearing? Because I'd just love for this to be what I think it is" John smiled back at Lucifer and said calmly "yes I believe it is and I do hope you don't take this as an insult but if Deana refuses to marry you will be her suitor at the end of August" Deana shouted at John "I will not marry this clown of a man he is weak and selfish he only wishes to marry me for power and he cannot even hold himself properly in a fight" John sighed "Deana he is not weak or selfish your just saying those things and I'm sure you'd love Lucifer eventually" Deana almost screamed out in anger as she shouted "John I will not marry him and I do not need to marry you cannot change my desires and I mustn't stay here if you are to push me around as if I am some property to you as if I am an object to you!" And with that Deana stalked off not listening to her fathers shouts and threats she just left the castle and got on her horse.

Deana road off in no direction in particular she just wanted to get away from her father and her life.

Deana soon made it to a lake in the middle of a random wood. The lake was small yet peaceful and not over populated the grass was perfectly green and the willow trees drooped just connecting with the water showing the peaceful bond between water and land Deana hates her life she just wanted to be left alone where she could choose what she wanted to do with her life and not be pushed to her limits. Her father trained her like a soldier but restrained her and kept her locked away like some damsel in distress she hated it she just wanted out but she knew that wasn't an option.

Deana let her horse roam around as she sat on the grass verge tempted to put her feet into the water or even go for a swim in her undergarments. Deana watched the water trickle along looking like a crystal in the light of the sun which refracted off of it she curled up into a ball and watched her reflection before she felt a presence.

Deana sprung up from where she was sat and got ready to fight when a voice came "woah woah I'm not here to harm ya, ya idjit, I'm just wondering what you're doing over here" Deana sighed as the older man came forth he had a rugged look to him with his dirty clothes and messy grey beard but Deana felt safe around the guy who she had spent from the death of her mother running to for help she smiled at the man and began "hey Bobby I'm running away from my father" she chuckled and his eyes widen as he asked "well ain't you always? so what's king John done this time?" Deana laughed and said "forcing me to get married and if I don't find a husband I'll have to marry king Lucifer of the cacodaemons rift, and he's a dick" Bobby chuckled "I'm sure he is Deana" Deana sighed and looked up at Bobby before asking "why can't I just leave the castle and work on carriages with you?" Bobby chuckled "well I'm going to assume it has something to do with that tiara on your head and the fact that your king John's daughter speaking of which he's probably looking for you right now" Deana sighed and hugged Bobby who embraced her back whilst stroking a hand through her hair and asking her something to distract her from the situation that she was in "hey Deana do you remember the first time we met?" Deana nodded and whispered "yes"

The dark gloomy clouds swelled over the skys of the courteous lands as the air stank of sorrow and the church bells rang telling all the message that they least wanted to hear "the Queen was dead" 

it was the week of her funeral the five year old Deana held her baby brother Sam Winchester cradling him the best she could with her tiny arms she felt overwhelmed she was forced to stay and look after Sam as if she was replacing her mother Mary. Deana wasn't even allowed to cry in front of anyone it was only her father who was allowed to show his mourning to the people. She held on as much as she could so that John wouldn't get upset with her but she cried every night it was unfair but she was the one who had to still look proper in front of the masses of people. 

Deana sighed and handed John Sam when he signalled her to but what John didn't expect Deana to do was sprint off jumping down from the podium they stood upon and ran until she could no longer hear her father scream her name or the loud chattering crowd who were shocked at her sudden departure Deana felt free of her constraints and cried as she sat down on the grass away from the towns or villages it was a place surrounded by trees that provided protection and security for Deana as she wept staring at the pond a head of her.

Deana took her shoes off and threw them at a tree whilst screaming "I hate everything!" She cried out as her nose went snotty her eyes puffing up and her cheeks stained from her waterfall of tears.

A twig snapped pulling her out of her emotional trance she was now alert and ready to fight back her fathers guards but the man she saw was definitely no man who followed her father he was ruff looking and was cautiously making his way over to her he smiled sweetly "hey little one are you alright?" Deana sniffed "I hate my father" Bobby snorted "who doesn't?" Deana smiled as he sat beside her he looked her up and down and his eyes widened "y-you're the princess" Deana nodded and curled up on herself whilst saying "I wish I wasn't" Bobby sighed with her and rubbed her back she lent into the affection and said "I hate him I cannot cry in front of people or I will be punished so I cannot mourn my mother he won't even let me frown in front of people" Bobby felt sorry for the five year old he had no idea that is how she was treated he just thought she wasn't good at showing emotion or something. Bobby then said "well whilst your father is not here you can cry all you damn want to" Deana chuckled "I don't even know your name" Bobby snorted "I'm Bobby Singer at your service" Deana laughed and rested her head on her new found friend.

They sat in silence for a while just admiring the vast pond until Bobby interrupted the silence "you know you don't have to always do as king John says?" Deana was confused "really? But he'll punish me" Bobby nodded "well that's if you get caught" Deana laughed "how would I possibly be able to escape or do anything with the twenty four hour watch guards always watching me" Bobby smiled "you just gotta lie like say your sick and need to stay in bed but put pillows where you would sleep with the duvet above it to seem like you're still there and climb out of your window and down the wall from your bedroom and your almost out you just have to jump the fence and then you can do as you please but you have to alway return so you can get away with things like these" Deana nodded as Bobby also added "I know your strong because it's know throughout the land that your father raises you like a soldier so act like it don't shy away walk around with a purpose and no one can find you weak fight back against your dad be a bit rebellious" Deana beamed "thank you Bobby you are an amazing person" Bobby smiled and said "well princess Deana you're not as uptight as I thought you'd be your much less entitled than I thought" Deana laughed loudly and said "thanks and you can call me Deana no need for the princess bit because I do plan on not being one ever again" Bobby chuckled "that's the spirit" Deana nodded and then heard the sound of horses and the clattering of the armour she abruptly stood up and said "I must take my leave I do not want my father mad at you as well" Bobby smiled as she ran off grabbing her shoes and went into the trees.

Deana knew just where the guards would expect her to be so she sat down crying against a tree by the path and that's when a guard stopped and hopped down from his saddle and said "Princess Deana you must come with me back to the castle your father is very upset with your disappearance act" Deana glared "no you mean he's a pissed of dick who doesn't let his own daughter mourn the death of her mother" the guard looked taken aback by her words but scooped the five year old Deana Winchester up onto the saddle and road away with her.

When they got back to the castle John looked livid at Deana and screamed "what the bloody hell were you thinking running off like that! Your a fool and this is why girls shouldn't get upset you go off on your own thinking that everything will be alright you disgust me with those tears on your face you disobey my direct order and now look what happened your a disgrace to me and your kingdom running off like that you could have been kidnapped or worse!" Deana huffed and snapped back "I only ran off because I needed to mourn over my dead mother! Your a bastard you think that I shouldn't show emotion over by dead mother that makes you the disgrace to the kingdom not me!" John swung his arm up with so much force and swung it at Deana back handening her cheek she screamed out in pain before John called out "take her to her room she will have no dinner tonight nor breakfast in the morning and she must not leave her bedroom get a maid to watch over her!" And with that Deana was dragged off by the guards screaming with tears flooding down her face.

"John was so mad a me but I took you advice and well look at me know I'm still the same old girl who runs to you for help and advice" Bobby chuckled at Deana's words and agreed "yes but you show who you are and don't care for John's words" Deana nodded and said "I wish you were my father Bobby" Bobby chuckled "hey who said I would want to be your father" Deana looked up at Bobby who chuckled again "I'd rather be your dad than be know as your father like John is" Deana laughed and held Bobby as close as she possibly could without suffocating him.

Deana didn't want this moment to end but then she heard the tall tale sound of Johns boots aprocing he had a distinct sound a clatter of a diamond on each metal boot could be heard but not by all but then the scoff that came from his mouth she was too late to fully comprehend how close he was he must have timed his foot work by the natural sounds around them but then he began "am I not a good enough father to you!? I heard your last words Deana! I have done everything for you and this kingdom" Deana stood up and screamed back "no you bloody haven't done anything for me you have done nothing for me it's all for you and what you believe is good for the kingdom which is always having a smiling princess who isn't allowed out of the palace and is supposed to go off and marry some bastard that I do not love am I not allowed to find love?" John gritted his teeth glaring down at his daughter he scoffed "what do you want with love Deana your a warrior you were trained not to show vulnerability and not to be weak and love is weakness" Deana snapped with a scream "you fuckinh hypocrite you've felt love so why can't I!?" John asserted his dominance by stepping closer to loom over Deana as he changed the subject by swearing "Deana this argument is over you will go back to the palace and you will not have any choice in who you marry! And you won't be leaving the west tower until that day comes or when I tell you to! Do you hear me!?" Deana wanted to argue more but her arms were grabbed by the guards giving her no choice as they dragged her off.

Deana was lifted onto the horse by the soldier who laughed "well well well princess Deana is no longer stronger than us she is practically useless" Deana gritted her teeth as the horse began to trot down the gravel path she contemplated jumping off the horse that was until five minutes later the horse had slowed down to halt.

But they were no where near the castle Deana gazed around and patted the knight's shoulder and asked "where are we?" He turned and grinned at Deana pushing her off the horse where she fell into a heap of her own lilac dress she huffed as the knight hopped off the horse himself with a grin as Deana stumbled to stand up she was so not in the mood for whatever he had planned, the knight stood upright with his armour Clattering around him as he lifted Deana's chin so that she would look him in the eye "oh Deana you were such a pretty girl why did you have to ruin it by being so strong? Princess should be weak and feminine you have the looks but not the attitude so I made a teeny weeny little deal..." Deana gasped she had no power against him though she could fight him and easily beat him. 

The on coming sound of hooves clopping meant she would not be able to beat them all Deana looked straight into the warm brown eyes that filled with hatred and disgust as he spat out "your father should have done this long ago instead of letting you choose who you'd marry the rule of the princess that many kingdoms followed to give the princess off to the black knights and to a far off castle protected by a dragon... now though the rule isn't used as much now a days it can still be enforced with the right bargain like... you" he smirked down at Deana brushing a strand of her now messy hair out of her face as he continued "you are one of the only princess that are wanted by the knights they want you so that the popularity of this... competition would you say? Would be revived since the last princess ran away from said dragon some how but the knights are to believe the dragon had gone into hibernation early and she left from one of the openings in the opposite of the castle but since you are high profile and priority you my dear will be locked away in a castle with unopening windows and only one exit and entrance where the dragon lays in wait now the dragon will not harm you but don't think it'll let you leave you will be as precious as gold to the beast" Deana gulped she had seen dragons before but never has she actually been near one unless it was trapped down by her father to say the least she was frightened she hated to admit it but she was terrified by her findings from the corrupted knight but she put a brave face on and pushed the knight's grip off of her and crossed her arms as she held her head high with a slight tremble in her knees she demanded "does my father know of this!?" The knight smirked "oh no why would he know of this he doesn't know what is best for you and he cannot harm me since I have the wraith ghouls protection for giving them such a priceless gift" Deana hated how he spoke of her as if she were nothing but an object but she kept her poker face on and demanded again "well what is your name knight!?" The man bowed "I am Zachariah protector of the king and soon to be winner of the princess quest because I will find you and make you mine I just have a head start" Deana grimaced but then as the black knights approached she smirked "yet you forget one tiny detail in your plan..." Zachariah interrupted "an what may that be?" Deana smirked as she step closer to the knight "I may be a priceless gift but do you know nothing about wraith ghoul culture... I guessed not when a king gives his daughter away they know which castle and what dragon but they will not interfere because it's there daughter they won't want to marry there daughter but with what you are saying is impossible for you to do... there's a reason that the kings go alone to request the wraith ghouls it's because... well your about to find out aren't you and they can't take me without you here so what's your game plan?" Zachariah laughed "stop babbling your just trying to save your own skin but it won't work princess" Deana smiled and shrugged "okay..." 

The wraith ghouls halted on there pitch black horses that barely looked real and more like they belonged in a horror movie with the specks of red invading there ebony soulless eyes they had flown ripped cloaks surrounding their bodies the only way you could tell there was armour was through the sound of their footsteps the cloaks flowed with no wind their presence brought a chill to the air and the metal swords that dragged across the ground brought a pitchy scrape and slight sparks which was the only real colour that came from them.

The carriage behind that was drawn by the horses that almost seemed like shadows not fully there like they were ghosts yet they had a presence that stood out bold as ever they were just as dark in colour as the knights cloaks and the carriage was like a mourning carriage for the royals when someone has recently passed or the kingdom has felt a great loss and the only detail was in pure gold lining the entire carriage showing to all looters near by that death may come to them if they try to attack the carriage.

Deana stepped backwards away from Zachariah with hopes she could just run but her hopes where soon swiped away as the two ghouls approached walking steadily in unison before stopping in front of Deana and Zachariah, she glared at him before being swiftly scooped up by one of the ghouls while the other stood in front of Zachariah hissing in a breathless voice hoarse and grainy "you are no king" it's face drew closer to Zachariah before drawing its sword and striking Zachariah down cuting from his neck down diagonally threw to his hip Zachariah gasped at the supernatural strength as the blood sprayed out and oozed down his body covering his beaming hot gash that drove right through his armour with his own blood on his armour and on the blade used by the ghoul that looked like it hadn't even striked through metal or anyone for that matter of fact the only evidence was the dripping blood that slipped off the blade like it was hydrophobic the blood dripped onto the floor as Zachariah chocked up clots of it, the blood gurgling in his throat as he spat it out his legs collapsed down and his torso fell to its fate on the muddy gravel floor separate from his legs, the ghoul crouched down stabbing a dark blade into Zachariah's heart with a note attached to it.

John slid off his horse giving it off to his servant who went to the stables to bath his horse as he entered through the castle doors frowning until a blonde approached him "John did you find Deana?" John was confused she was supposed to be back way before him he saw red knowing Deana must have something to do with this he spat back "well I found her alright and sent her and a guard back here but I have no idea why she isn't back the little..." he trailed off with an infuriated yell that caused the whole castle to fall silent and perhaps even the kingdom he was that loud Lucifier slithered an arm around John's shoulder and whispered comforting words like "they probably went a different route" and "Deana probably complained so much they had to stop for a bit before continuing" John agreed and allowed Lucifier to walk him to the castle's great hall where all the princes would be finishing off there breakfasts.

•.•*•.•*•.•*•.•

Deana turned away from the seen and looked into the knights helmet there was nothing inside completely black and empty only a foggy texture Deana reached up and plunged her hand inside but nothing happened until her hand was ripped away and two beady red eyes glared at her and that was the last thing she saw before being thrown into the carriage that swallowed her in smoke no features to be seen yet as she fell into the carrage she whacked her head and was out like a light.

•.•*•.•*•.•*•.•

As the doors opened John found the room was already silent he couldn't grasp why until he gazed up at the wall where the body was hanging blood seeping down the walls to the slumped legs on the floor John gasped as rushed forward to the Knight who had a sword threw his skull holding his body in place and a note stabbed through his armour and to his heart John swallowed heavily and ripped the note down reading it making sure no one had seen it before hand...

(previously at the lake)

John glared at the man who his daughter favoured over himself and folded his arms and demanded "if my daughter ever tries to come with in contact with you you will report it to me and send her straight back to the castle!" Bobby rolled his eyes and said "I ain't going to do shit ya idjit" John was taken aback by this answer with a gasp before ordering "Bobby Singer you will do as you are told or you will not be allowed back in this kingdom again!" Bobby smirked "you do that and I say all the carriages you want fixing will just be left in a heap or maybe I'll sell them off for cheap?" John muttered profanities under his breath he had been thrown into a corner by some peasant that should be on his knees begging for forgiveness yet John was the one who had no power and huffed before turning away to his horse and saying "fine but I'll make sure you'll never see my daughter again" Bobby chuckled "you do that... or we'll try but she's a stubborn idjit" John just ignored Bobby and went back to his white horse hoping back on and riding back to the castle.

(Back to the hall)

Knight Zachariah has chosen to begin the quest the quest of your own daughter he believed this was how she should be treated and has chosen to become the sacrifice showing how willing he was to you and your kingdom to do anything to make it great and to find the perfect suitor for your daughter Princess Deana of the courteous lands, she will be locked within a castle since you didn't come to send her off we cannot write the information down and you will have to search for her without it...

Sinserly,

The wraith ghouls the knights of the unbearable law and the holders of the princess rules and trial.

The letter was omniously written in the blood of Zachariah and the final full stop was just a splatter of a blood clot shown as a warning and it showed that the letter was authentic and that the trial had begun...

John almost collapsed but was caught by Lucifer who hushed John before asking "what did the letter say?" John was at a loss for words and couldn't even mutter out an answer for Lucifer he felt bile rising up his throat his daughter was taken she was locked with in a castle that not even he knew the location to John held onto the wall as his son ran onto the stage pushing past Lucifer and to his father before demanding "Father where is my sister!?" John wept as he fell to his knees and muttered in a small breath "the trail has begun..." he held the letter in his hands and snatched it away when Lucifer tried to take it and stood up to explain to the crowd staring at him with curiosity there was only one pair of eyes not looking at John but still listening and that was Castiel who was busy eating and not caring for the man on the wall that had appeared mid way through his eating.

John stood tall glancing down at the letter wishing it wasn't true as he read out "my daughter princess Deana of the courteous lands has been taken by the wraith ghouls the knights of the unbearable law against my will and for those who don't know who the wraith ghouls are or what they do they are the holders of the trail for the marriage of my daughter she will be held in a castle that I do not know off until she is found and save by a prince or knight who will marry my daughter for saving her so for those princes who do not wish for this you and your kingdom may leave and I am very sorry but I need someone to save my daughter please" the room stayed mostly silent apart from a bit of muttering from the princes

Castiel had stopped eating as soon as he heard the wraith ghouls being mentioned he knew everything about them they weren't even human let alone real they are tulpa binded to there armour with there legend and there curse to walk the earth until there mission is complete and everyone forgets about them which most likely will never happen since they have such a huge impact on the way the world is run and Deana just became the next victim to there legend and until someone rescues her or she dies she will be locked in that castle forever.

Castiel watched as a few left deciding that they were not going to search for Deana but Castiel knew he had to search for her she was so sweet and kind yet fierce with a fire roaring behind her green eyes he liked her that was for sure and thinking of another knight saving her made him shiver to his core. 

Castiel knew what he had to do...

Lucifer looked up at the knight and rubbed the back of his neck he knew what the trail entailed to rescue Deana and he supposed he could do it but he definitely knew he was going to bring some back up or well bait and useable characters to save her and she would be all his.

Lucifer was brewing his plan and knew what he was going to do to get his princess...

Sam's eyes ran with streams of tears his sister was taken by the worst people to exist he had to save her no matter the cost! But he didn't know how he had no plan he wasn't as strong as Deana and even if he read a whole library about the ghouls he'd never be prepared so he must gather an army! 

In all honesty Sam nearly knew a thing about the lore on the wraith ghouls and even if he knew deep down Deana would be pissed he'd still give it a shot and anyways Deana should be able to escape herself right? He'd just be there for support...

All the plans yet will any of them be able to help???
