Scarlett

My body is dropped abruptly to the ground, the bruises forming due to the drastic impact were to no avail, my desperate sobs seemed to consume every portion within me.

It's absurd how one mistake led to my entire life falling apart, forcing me to part with the one I loved unconditionally.

''You see Princess, when you plot against royalty, you have to think like royalty, we abstain from fair play'' The ruthless Prince trails his fingers down my arm.

My intense crying destroys all paths for a reply, he continues in a sly tone, ''I will see to ruin your relationship with the peasant, if it's the last thing I do'' he crouches beside my pain filled body and releases a chuckle, overpowering my sobs.

My heart forced sharp pains as vivid imagines of my seperation with Cane runs through my mind, I look at William beside me with tears still glistening in my now red eyes, with a heave, I raise my hand with much force and close my eyes as it collides with his cheek.

''You-- t-hink you've wwon, if you reall-yy want to succeed in seperating u--ss, you'll have to kill me, because now till forever, he will re-sside in my heart'' I utter breathlessly at his completely shocked red face.

''You shouldn't have done that Scarlett'' he states through gritted teeth, ''Why do you think Cane is in the condition you saw him to be'' he releases all anger and places a concealing fake smile on his lips, ''The peasant attempted a swing at me and so the punishment began, now my future wife raised a hand on me! And what better punishment, than to slice her love once more across the cheek?''

My eyes widen at his comment as he sets to leave, I fall down and cup my face, harsh images of Cane being wounded once more pained me, ''S-stop! Ple-ease William!'' I beg desperately and he turns around scanning my scattered body on the ground.

''Well Ladies and Gentlemen there you have it!'' He applauds continously and grinds his teeth as I stare up confusedly at him.

A few footsteps emerge from behind me, ''I do not have Cane in my custody, neither have I tortured him in any way, it was all a mere drama, to finally expose your deceitful daughter! The Princess who never knew how to keep her word'' he smirks at me in a cunning way.

What did he mean Cane was not in his custody?!I myself had seen both, Cane and Chad with bruises indicating they were tortured! ''What nonsense William! What new drama is th--''

''Scarlett!!'' A familiar voice stops me from furthering my question. My body automatically begins shaking, ''That's enough from you!''

William makes his way over to me and lifts me up, ''That's Prince William to you'' he whispers and tugs on his shirt regaining his lost honour. He now forcefully turns my body to the radiating voice released from earlier.

Tears flow continously, before me stood both my parents, Dylan and King Edward, all containing dissatisfied expressions.

Suddenly William's plan had become clear, I wouldn't yet give up, ''He's lying!! Cane is in hi--''

My mother retaliates and stamps toward me, immediately slapping me, ''Enough humiliation Scarlett!!''

''Whoah!'' Dylan shouts, instantly fixing our gaze on the scene ahead, my father grips his chest desperately as his breathing begins quickening in pace, the guards guarding the door support him on either side.

I stumble in order to help him but a firm hand holds me back, ''You've caused enough trouble already!'' Mum roars, ordering me to watch in pain as they escort dad out, to be seen to.

I stood alone with William, completely disturbed by the scene ahead of me, ''You see Princess, I don't handle rejection all too well'' he smirks making me face him, ''I informed them of your relationship with Cane, they brushed it off as if it were false, so I thought, why not make you confess? By playing innocent that is. I mean, you know Cane is here, I know that, but they will NEVER believe their all too cunning daughter. Which only makes me triumphant'' he settles himself on a desk in the room, ''So my fiancé, reject me once more and I will see to it that your dear Cane faces death in the most unpleasant way found''

He stands up and closes the distance between his confident body and the door, ''Oh and Scarlett? I'd prefer a lace gown for my bride to be'' the door is slammed, leaving me in utter despair.
