"I'm going to miss you so much," I pout in Liam's arms.

"I know, my love, but it's the only way to keep you safe. I'll see you in five days tops. I just have to make sure that things are going to go smoothly here and that everything is fine in Kavington and then when I come meet you, you and I are going to never be apart again," He says gently running his hands through my hair.

"You better come back to me. Don't try to protect me and let them get you," I frown as he smiles.

"I'll destroy them all to get back to my princess, but hopefully I won't have to fight"

We remain in silence as we hold each other.

"Prince Liam, her bags are all packed and ready to go," One of the guards say.

I look up at him as my eyes begin to water.

"Hey. Don't cry, babe. I promise, I'll see you real soon. I'll keep myself alive for you," Liam says sweetly as he kisses my forehead repeatedly.

I look up at him as a tear escapes my eyes. He gently wipes it and pulls me into a kiss. The kiss intensifies as I run my hands through his hair. I then pull away, "The more I kiss, the harder it'll be to say 'good bye'"

"It's not 'good bye.' It's 'see you later' because 'good bye' is forever. 'See you later' is real soon. It may not be tomorrow, but it will be again. I promise you that," Liam states as I nod.

"See you later," I whisper as he gives me a side smile.

"See you later, my princess, but first," He says entwining our fingers before continuing, "There's a surprise in the car for you"

"What surprise would make things better right now? I'm being apart from you," I pout as we walk towards the shiny black car.

"Surprise! I hope we're good enough for you," Says a familiar voice.

My eyes light up as I turn towards my best friend's voice, "Oli!"

"Hey," He smiles as he opens the car door.

I give him a big hug and look to see Simon, "Hello, Simon!"

"How are you, princess? Long time no see," He smiles.

"See! You've forgotten me already," Liam teases.

I turn to face him, "I haven't forgotten you. You still need to come back to me too, but these two guys right here make up for the distance between us"

"The both of you protect her with your lives," Liam states with a smile.

"Of course! Who do you think I am?" Oliver questions and rolls his eyes.

"That's what I live for," Simon says respectively with a nod.

"How are my parents?" I ask.

"They're great. Guards are all over protecting the entire Kingdom as well as the castle. Our outer alliances have joined forces with us and are chipping in to protect Kavington and half of them are coming over here to protect Delton as well," Oliver answers.

"Well, that's fantastic," I smile.

All of a sudden, a huge boom followed by an explosion occurs.

"We're under attack! They must have found out you both are here. Sound the alar-," One of the guards yell as an arrow strikes him and he falls over the ledge and to the ground.

His body lays bloody in front of us as my eyes widen in shock. I stare frozen.

"Take Anna, now!" Liam yells as Simon takes me and puts me into the car.

"Liam! Just come with us. They're after both of us," I yell from the window.

"As a Prince and future King, I cannot do that. I just need you safe," Liam says against the window.

"Are you going to need help?" Oliver asks as Simon takes out his sword.

"We might or at least until we've destroyed or distracted enough of them to get you guys out with Anna safely," Liam states as Oli closes me in the car and takes out his sword.

More fallen men hit the ground as Liam, Simon and Oliver prepare for a battle.

"Anna!" I hear Liam call to get my attention as a few Scallions come his way. I look at him worried as he mouths, "Lock the door and put your head down"

I continue to stare as his eyes pleaded for my obedience, at least just this once. I nod and do as he said. I couldn't help but occasionally peek just to make sure Liam, Oliver and Simon were alright. It's crazy how I've went unnoticed during all of this so far. I wish I could have been in on the action but I had no weapons to defend myself with.

Two bodies immediately fell on top of the car from above causing it to smash me in. I couldn't help but scream as my leg got caught under the seat. I tried to pull myself to freedom but didn't want to risk hurting my leg or making it worse. A Scallion rushes to the window and sees me. I panicked realizing that I was helpless and couldn't protect myself due to my current position and situation. He smirks and takes his club hammer and rams it through the window causing glass to shatter all over me.

"Princess Anna!" I recognize the voice to be Simons.

"No!" I hear Liam yell as I hear the sound of his sword clinking against his opponents over the other sounds of screams, moans, groans, and explosives around us.

The Scallion reaches through the window for me and grabs at my hair. I try my hardest to fight him off as Oliver slams him into the car door and starts tackling him. I gasp as Simon pries open the door with all of his strength and Liam reaches for me.

"Liam, my leg," I whine. Way to make myself sound like the helpless Princess in distress.

"Don't worry. I'm going to get you out of here," He says out of breath as he bends down to try and free my leg.

After a bit of maneuvering, he frees my leg and pulls me out of the car. He pulls me into a bear hug and kisses my forehead before frantically looking at me, "Are you alright?"

I nod as I touch the cut on his arm, "Are you okay?"

"I'm okay, now because I know you're okay"

We look over at Oliver and Simon who just finished off the Scallions that we're near us. I look over and see another Scallion running towards Liam.

"Liam, watch out!" I yell as I pull his sword from his belt, kick the man in the gut and then stab him in his chest.

I stare frozen, in shock that I just did what I just did. Liam, Simon and Oliver look at me.

"Anna," Liam says making his way to me slowly.

"I jus- oh my goodness," I say wide-eyed.

"You just saved his life," Simon states with a smile.

"I kille-"

"Let me handle this," Oliver says pulling me towards him and away from Liam.

I look around to all of the bodies, good and bad that laid lifeless. A lot of the guards and knights were taking a rest as some were in the process of disposing the bodies before they started to smell.

"Anna," Oliver says sweetly as I turn to face him as he continues, "It's going to be alright. You did a good thing, okay? You saved Liam. That Scallion could have hurt him. Take a deep breath, okay?"

I nod as he takes my hands, I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I take another one as I opened my eyes. We make eye contact and he smiles at me as I return the smile, a fake one.

"You four, come inside quickly," King Lowry says as he wipes off blood from his fingers and motions us through one of the sides of the castle.

We do as we're told and see one of the Scallions tied up and bloody in a chair. Queen Lowry, Malcolm as well as his wife with their daughters were sitting at a table. Liam entwines our fingers together as I look up at him. He looks down at me and sadly smiles. I stand up on my toes and gently kiss his lips. His smile becomes brighter.

"Your happiness discuss us all! You two are dead once the other Scallions get ahold of you both. As if we'd sit here and let you both run a Kingdom together after what both of your Kingdom's have done," The Scallion spits.

"What do you mean?" I ask pulling away from Liam and walking up to him.

"Anna, wait," Liam, Olivia and King Lowry warns as Simon says, "Princess, wait"

I turn to look at Liam and he gives in as he walks with me closer to the Scallion.

"You have two minutes. Speak," King Lowry states.

"I don't listen to you!" The Scallion yells.

"I asked you what did you mean?" I state sternly.

"Answer her"," Liam orders.

The Scallion looks at the both of us and smirks, "Your fathers did quite a bad thing years and years ago. They went after blood and now we're coming for theirs. You're both dead"

"So this is all happening because of a feud between the King of Delton and the King of Kavington," Oliver snorts.

"It's a lot more than you think, punk" The Scallion says as Oliver gets ready to charger at him.

"Oli," I say as Simon grabs him.

"Yes, Oli. Back down. Fall back," The Scallion teases.

Oliver gives him a dirty look but all attention comes turns to Malcolm when he yells, "Who is your King?"

"Don't got one. We don't answer to none of the Kings in any Kingdom," The Scallion answers.

"Then who's your leader?" Simon asks.

"Ask Sir Kingsy himself, he knows," The Scallion grins his disgusting grin as we all turn to look at King Lowry.

"I don't believe I know who you're talking about," King Lowry glares.

"Doesn't Justice for all, ring a bell?"

We all, still staring at the King see his expression change.

"No. That can't be," King Lowry whispers in horror.

"Oh it can and it is," The Scallion responds amused.

"But he was dead," King Lowry confesses as we all gasps.

"Father!" Liam and Malcolm yell.

"What happened?" Queen Lowry questions.

"Me, Adelaide, Russo," King Lowry sighs.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!" The Scallion cheers.

"Who's Russo? And what does my father have to do with this?" I ask.

"Tell King Low Low," The Scallion teases.

"We were all young lads. We played together and went to school together growing up. With age, we got separated but Anna, you dad and I stayed close because we were both heirs to the thrones. We all ended up reuniting when your father and I were coming up with alliance and territory plans during our stages of King duties. We saw him rummaging through the garbage on the streets. He was telling us how he had a family to feed and was struggling to find work. We were both going to help him, we promised we were," King Lowry continues.

"Bull shit," The Scallion interrupts him.

I'm Maybe I'm not fit to be queen, ive been sheltered for too long. I was terrified. And — I've been vulnerable with Liam's love. - add this when she talks with Simon.
