The walk all the way to the castle consisted of confused stares and concerned murmurs from the village people. Liam had to quickly make up a believable reason to why he had their Prince in his arms, looking quite dazed and tired.

"Is that Prince Harry?"

"What's wrong with the young lad?"

"What happened to him?" Some citizens asked.

"He's just worn himself out from running s'all. Had a little game of hide and seek and wouldn't give up on trying to get away from me. Silly boy he is." Liam explains, hoping his chuckle at the end didn't seem too forced or laced with nervousness.

Thankfully, the people were satisfied with the answer, not entirely convinced but they didn't know the Prince well enough to know what he does or how he is. He only started going out not too long ago.

A sigh of relief leaves Liam's mouth as he makes it in front of the castle doors. It isn't that he's tired of carrying the curly haired boy, because he isn't, he only wants to know what happened to him a few minutes ago.

"Wait, Li...put me down."

"You sure, H? I don't think you can-"

"Please...I don't want my dad knowing my condition might have gotten worse." The boy pleads.

Hesitantly, Liam places the Prince back on his feet, but keeps a hand on his shoulder and forearm to steady him when noticing the slight sway in his movement.

To their luck, they didn't have a run in with the King as they make it to Harry's bedroom, Niall already on his feet the moment he hears the door open.

"Haz, you're back!" The blonde servant boy bounds over to them, "...and with Liam? No offense, Li, but why isn't Louis with you?"

The mention of his name has Harry bursting into tears, Liam's grip on him the only thing preventing him from falling to the floor as he sobs brokenly.

Knowing the poor boy wasn't physically and emotionally stable to tell his best friend the previous happenings, Liam filled him in on what he missed.

"I swear, Niall, the girl he was with must have casted a spell on him or something! I've known Louis for most of my life, I know he wouldn't say or do such things."

Niall rubs Harry's back comfortingly after he and Liam got him to sit down on his bed, "I believe you, Li. If I'd known about it I wouldn't have allowed Harry to go see him. It'd only cause his condition to worsen."

Liam quirks a brow, "what is his condition, exactly?"

"He has Stress Cardiomyopathy." Niall says, and tells him all he knows about his best friend's heart condition.

Harry surprisingly fell asleep on Liam's shoulder, the run in with Louis and his 'girlfriend' finally taking its toll on him, so the puppy eyed lad carefully lays him down on his bed.

"So...what should we do now?" Asked the blonde boy after Liam finished tucking the sleeping Prince in, "I know for a fact Harry isn't going to get over what Louis did to him, even if he wasn't himself."

"I know..." The brunette boy trails off, "we have to find Louis. But problem is, where do we look?"

Princess Averie couldn't believe her father was allowing someone who has feelings for the Prince of Donshire to help him get what he wants. Can they really trust her?

Currently, both her father and the Princess of Beardannia tossed around ideas of how they'll be able to get the Prince.

"You can maybe send some of your guards to kidnap him while I act as a distraction?" Taylor suggests.

"No, it's too risky." Simon shakes his head.

It took a few minutes before an idea finally comes to the Princess's mind.

"Blackmail!"

"Blackmail?" The King asks, beginning to gain interest on what the blonde royal has to say.

Taylor tells him about a witch she knows residing outside the Kingdom of Donshire and how she knows how to make potions. As she keeps sharing her idea, King Cowell smirks, loving the plan she came up with.

"I quite like that proposition. In fact, I want you to go to Donshire this instant and put your plan into action." He states.

The blonde Princess gapes, "really?"

"Yes. Do not fail me, Princess Taylor."

"I won't, your Majesty."

Averie has had enough of eavesdropping on their conversation and turns to walk back to her room. Frankly, she doesn't care what they do. As long as she gets Harry in the end, she will not be intervening with whatever plan the Princess of Beardannia is going to do.

If she wants a happy ending, a happy ending is what she gets.

The next day...

For some odd reason, Louis couldn't sleep at all last night. Images of the curly haired Prince keep making an appearance in his mind and invading his thoughts... Almost as if he cared for him after what he had done. The Prince deserved it, didn't he?

And what did Liam mean about a spell?

Knock knock!

"Just a second!" Eleanor calls out.

Louis couldn't do anything but stay where he is because for some strange reason his girlfriend locks him in his room.

Curious, the feathery haired lad quietly makes his way to his door and presses his ear to it, seeing if he could somehow hear what they were saying. And to his luck, he could.

"Princess Taylor, lovely seeing you again."

"Same to you, El."

Princess Taylor? Why does that sound familiar? Louis thinks.

"Listen, I have a huge favor to ask from you."

"Yeah? What is it? I'm sure it's nothing I can't help you with."

"Well, I was hoping you still had that sleeping potion?"

"Hmm, I think I do. What are you gonna use it for? The potion lasts quite a long time."

Louis could sense the other person smirk when she says,

"Oh, let's just say I'm going to visit a certain curly haired prince. And maybe help put him to sleep so he doesn't have to worry about that low life of a boyfriend he has."

Is she talking about the Prince of Donshire? Louis wonders, suddenly feeling a mix of emotions overcome him.

Why is he feeling worried for the Prince?

Why did he seem so relieved when he saw Louis again?

Why is he even thinking about him?!

Unless...

"...oh shit." The blue eyed lad mutters quietly under his breath, memories finally coming back to him.

The spell wore off.
