The Castle
In the village of Ira. A village that was in the middle of no way, there was a big castle. in it lived a generous and kind-hearted king and queen, which had a daughter named, Gila. a sweet and bright girl who was beloved by all who knew her in the village.

One day, out of the blue. the princess suddenly fell sick. The king called the best doctors in his kingdom but non of them could help the weakened princess. Each day she got worse until she passed away.
The king and queen grew depressed each day they lived without their darling little daughter. Their grief was too much to handle so they didn't bury her but asked her body to be preserved. After a week had passed, the Majesty of Ira finally was ready to say goodbye to his daughter, together with his wife. They held the funeral for Gila which all dwellers of Ira were invited to attend. Several days went by after mourning the lost of the princess, the king was back, doing his job and the queen went to the society to her roles as well. Their maids and servants were happy that they were recovering and going back to their old jolly selves. Even if this was good news
Something was off with the reformed queen and king.

The servants noticed that they spent a lot of time in their late daughter's bedroom. They heard the queen humming a song that she would usually hum or sing to her daughter, Gila. The king would return after his duties like settling disputes amongst his people. in the evening he would go to the room also. The room was filled with laughter and chatter. as the servants grew more eager to know what was happening in the room, one of them decided to go and knock at the door. She heard the voice of the king coming from the inside, telling her to come in.
And then without a question, the servant entered the room and later walked out trembling. She had no words for what she had just saw.

Once the terrified servant managed to calm her nerves she began telling her co-workers what she Saw in the room
"I-I... When I came in, I saw the king talking to someone and since the queen was with him, I figured that he was talking to her but I was false to think that way. I traced my eye towards whom he was talking to, I saw it once but I thought my mind was playing tricks on me so I looked once again, rubbed my eyes thinking that I might be feeling sleepy or something. In the end, the image didn't change. The person the king was talking to was not his wife but Gila's corpse, while the queen was combing the child's hair, laughing. But that is not the tip of the iceberg, the eyes of Gila were open and rolled to my direction. The loyal family all of a sudden stop whatever they were doing to stare at me but I couldn't stay calm and ran out of the room. "
the servant from that day on, began having nightmares, claiming that the walls of the castle were talking to her and not only this was happening to her but to the other servants, who entered the room. They had experienced similar incidents.

One by one they started feeling paranoid, fatigue, sick and died. The way they died was strange too, they died smiling. Whoever saw what the queen and king were doing had this circle. Some of the servants quit their jobs, to get out of the castle and managed to survive.
