My first thought was I can't leave my father

My first thought was I can't leave my father. He was already left by my mother, I can't leave him.

"You don't have to leave him, Hecate made sure to leave you the scroll that works fine with a magician's blood," Hades said as freed me from the chains of death.

"You personally attend all the dead souls?" I asked him.

"No, you are being sent back to someone special." He answered with a sense of remorse.

"Elias came?" I know who can manage to get a dead soul back.

"And he sacrificing a lot for you." Hades elaborated on the fact of his sacrifice.

By the time he was done, I was crying.

"You can travel in time back and forth but Elias will be in danger as long as you are away from him. that is how deeply your soul is bounded."

"Can I meet Hecate once I am back?"

"She will be gone but know that she loved you hence the gift she left you and Elias." He said in a mocking tone if love baffled him.

"What did she leave for Elias?"

"You." He smiled as if I am the most clueless person in this world.

My eyes opened and I was in an elaborately decorated room. It had a bed made of mahogany and with intricate patterns all over. A glass chandelier hung over my head and golden cream curtains covered my room. 

I was legit sleeping on silk sheets and in a frilly kind of sexy nightwear. Beside me was a nightstand with candle burnt through the night. I got down and a soft carpet greeted my feet. I just stared around unbelievably at the expensive stuff in the room, the lamps, the bronze colored box, the marble columns.

A slight knock on the door surprised me a little.

Where am I?

A girl younger than me entered in what we call a maid's outfit and carried a bowl of boiling water, a towel-like cloth and something really fragrant.

"Your Highness, we need to get ready for the breakfast." She said and I waited for her to laugh but she seemed dead serious.

So I was a Princess now, why?

Why did Hades send me as a royalty?

"Tell me -What is your name?" I asked.

"Sienna."

"Okay, so Sienna do you know someone named Elias?"

She gasped as if I did a crime of some sorts.

"Highness, please be respectful, he the King of the nation."

So, I was still in the right century.

"And we have a ball at his place this evening." She informed and started cleaning me with fragrant oil and water.
