Early in the morning, Arthur and his men took the way in the north, they agreed to the demand of Alaska. Lord Alaska took the same way with them and took Ameera with him to her marriage. Lady Raya didn't want to go with them, saying that she can't support seeing her daughter getting married with one of those evil men.

Kingdom crier
The queen has announced that she is going to pass three days in this season visiting three villages which is known to be in bad situations and she promised that she will fix those situations.
_Ledy Aurora Thompson

The queen started her tour, in her tour she met people who liked her and others who didn't which was tuff for her to control them, but she saw all the situation they are in, especially poverty.

Frost Harbor kingdom, at the castle, the king Albert Campbell was in his chamber throne and there was a map of Silverscale kingdom on the table besides to the corner, which he was studying while standing and drinking wine.
Jonathan the king's guard who is between 40-45, he was there with him and when the crown prince Audrey Campbell who's the same generation as Arthur, between 25-30, comes to his father who seemed ferrous and stood beside him. Jonathan was polite he gave them time and went to stand beside the throne.

Prince Audrey and his father never got in the same position, Audrey wants to rule the kingdom as soon as possible so he could take care of the kingdom's people, while his father just wants the power and doesn't even care about his people. Which makes them totally different.

"Father, people from west coast they are going crazy. We have to do something about it." Audrey said. "What about them again?" King Albert asked.
It seems like they already had a case of people from the west.
"They attacked the lords in their homes last night and took everything, food, golds and destroyed what they left." Audrey said.
King Albert moved his eyes on the map and looked at him, surprised.
"Those people are savage and lazy, they don't know how to get money and just start to lie about no sense." He said. "I don't think, millions of people are being lazy and only the lords, people in value, are the only ones who work, father." Audrey said.
The king didn't mind anyway even if he knew that his son was talking the truth.
"Why are you telling me this instead of fixing it, Audrey son, you are not the crown prince for nothing." King Albert said.
Audrey was so disappointed in him and said. "Just tell me, you don't have time for them. You are still holding to steal other people's kingdoms while you don't even know how to take care of yours." He shouted.
King Albert to hear that he was angry to his son but he kept his feelings cold.
"I will take it as you didn't think twice to say that." He said and then got closer in his face and added.
"You may be my son but don't forget that I'm not kind of emotional. If you try one more time...to talk to me in that voice, you will meet someone without a heart." He was quite serious threatening him.
Two guards at the door opened and lord Yemen entered and stood three steps in front of the door.
"My king, Your Highness." He said and bent for them, they looked back at him.
"Lord Yemen, what brought you here?" The king asked. "We have a foreign guest and she asked to meet you in person, my king" Yemen said.
The king went to sit on his throne and the prince stayed standing there.
"Let then, meet her." The king said.
Yemen called on her and she got in with the guards surrounding her in protection of the king.
The woman was Princess Madeline and her lady-in-waiting Elsa behind her, Yemen approached a bit the side of the king but not closer to present the guest.
"This woman in front of you is princess Madeline and the daughter of king Edward from Silverscale kingdom." Yemen said.
The guards turned on her and pointed her their swords. Madeline and Elsa was shocked.
"You can see how bad you picked the wrong way, all of us here when we see people from Silverscale, are enemies." The king said. "And...I don't know really how bloody you got in my kingdom and here." He added.
Madeline noticed how they don't like them so much and took a bit closer to show them that she isn't their enemy and all of them were watching  her carefully and she bent for their king which totally surprised them.
"Your Majesty, I understand that you can't trust me while I'm King Edward's daughter but I promise you that I'm not here for anyone leads, I came here by myself and my own decision so you could help me." Madeline said. "So, I beg your attention to me, your Majesty!" She added.
A quiet moment for silence and the king looked at Jonathan and lord Jonathan looked back at him and nodded once for agreement.
"I would like to know the reason you are here and you know that your father and I are enemies?" The king asked.
When the king said that, the guards put back their swords.
"I grew up as a heiress, all I knew was that one day I will be ruling Silverscale kingdom but when my father died, he had to left a word to convince that I will be next on the throne but I was shocked to hear that it wasn't me but his bastard. My step sister Eleanor, right now she's the one on the throne living my dreams. You can understand how that is for me, your Majesty." Madeline said.
They were all surprised by the story, Audrey was listening and he didn't let it go so he got closer to them and got in the conversation.
"But we still don't understand your reason for you here?" Rudely he asked.
Madeline turned her eyes on him confused for who he maybe be.
"My apologies for my son's interruptions, may I present you prince Audrey, the crown prince. He's the nice guy in the story, he's just a bit confusing." The king said.
"Nothing to be apologising for, your Majesty." She said and looked at Audrey.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, your Highness!" Gently Madeline said with a nice voice and gave him a short smile. "But I couldn't say he isn't right, tell us why exactly you are here?" The king asked. "I know that you want our kingdom since day one, If I didn't have the reign she can't have it to, so will help you to get Silverscale simply and fast " Madeline requested.
The king and others was surprised and unbelieved her point.
"I don't know what you mean, you can't tell me that you came here risking your life for the purpose of
betraying the kingdom you grew up in and the family raised you just because your sister got your place? I don't think I will believe that. Perhaps you are here to get something else in exchange?" The king asked.
"You are right your Majesty, my problem isn't my sister, my problem is to rule the kingdom, so I'm asking you, your Majesty, to help me to get my kingdom back then you will be accessed in everything, our kingdoms will become friends and that means there will be more advantage." Madeline said.
King Albert gave her a short smile. he didn't give her an answer but he welcomed her in the castle and gave her her own room with her lady-in-waiting Elsa. Telling her that they should get more time and calmly talk about everything.

Lord Albany Denver has ruled Pyre Fall in the north for years but he's known for a dangerous man and heartless person ever. His people are treated like shits more than Dakota's people but the difference there is a little human rights in Star Fell but in Pyre Fall the people live in fear and threats of lord Denver's orders, the same to his sons their just like him.
Lord Ryan Denver the eldest, Lord Nathaniel Denver the middle one and the last born Lord Jeffrey Denver they were 21, 23 and 25 aged.
Lord Albert murdered his own wife by dagging her in the stomach with a dagger after she gave birth his last born in front of his sons teaching them that after the wife gives you everything you want no need to keep her with you. The boys stayed strong and believed that the woman is just an object which gave you pleasure and happiness.

In the woods Jeffrey and Nathaniel have tied a thief on the tree, they were playing with arrows firing on the thief to his legs to see who got the best part. They was enjoying the game laughing while the thief was shouting hurting. While they were there, an arrow came from back to the heart. They looked down disappointedly and seemed like they knew who arrow was it. Ryan came closer to the thief looking at him bloody dying and looked back at his brothers making a disappointed face and asked.
"Really! In the legs?" "He's a thief he needs to be punched." Nathaniel explained. "When you are giving a punishment you need to look serious on it so he can regret it or understand, otherwise someone you will be punishing he will not take you seriously." Ryan said and pulled out the arrow in the thief's heart and he died, his brothers were shocked abit.
"We need to go back, father wants to talk with us." He added.
Ryan left and his brothers went back with him and left the thief there dying.

Lord Ryan Denver was the serious brother with no smile or happiness writing in his face just a warrior, who isn't an oped heart, no one knows his thoughts.

They go back home and took a sit with his father. On the chairs around the table.
"I called on  you, because we will have guests and I think by now they have arrived in the north. Lord Dakota and his daughter are in there way here. If you remember well, I have told you that one of you who wants to get married will take lord Dakota's daughter as a wife and still now I don't know who that will be." Albany said. "Maybe because we don't know your reason to wish lord Dakota's daughter as your daughter-in-law." Jeffrey said. "And if she's not beautiful! I can't risk that." Nathaniel added. "Father, would you tell us the reason why she has to marry one of us?" Ryan asked.
Lord Denver sighed and took a drink they was all drinking.
"It's was a promise of the old friends having a drink together and I promised him that one of my sons will marry her daughter. And I don't regret it because he's a good business man and I like his way to see things. He can be helpful."
Lord Denver while he was talking to his sons one of the guards entered the room and told them that the guests had arrived. They went to welcome them in the chamber they received guests in.
Lord Denver and his sons had a seat on the table in front and other lords who are close to lord Denver they were present too but seat on the tables in front of Denver's table.
The guest entered the room. Lord Dakota and his daughter in front and lord Arthur and his men behind them and go closer in the center.
"Lord Dakota! How pleasure to see you here in the north once again." Albany said. "It's been years friend, people! You should all know that lord Dakota was my friend, we fight civil wars together for this kingdom then the world has separated us but look...we can't let the world bet us." He added.
"I came here for the promise you gave to me, time had passed and and our children grew up. As you can see my lord, this is my only daughter. Lady Ameera Dakota." Alaska said.
With a smile on her face she bent for them.
Denver's brothers their eyes were lost on Ameera's beauty starring at her but no one said a word until their father asked.
"I have three handsome boys and I didn't choose who will marry our daughter but as there all here. Lord Ryan Denver the eldest, lord Nathaniel Denver the middle and lord Jeffrey Denver the last born..." Albany said.
The brothers bowed down their head for them.
"...one has to choose to get married, the one who just fell for her." Nathaniel jumped responded with a happy face. "I will...marry her." No one gets between that and let it pass.
"I would like to know who came with you." Albany asked.
They gave Arthur a space and get closer, he bowed down for the lord Denver.
"I'm Arthur Thompson, the lord commander and the son of Lord Austin Thompson, The master of the household. I came from the castle with a letter from the regnant queen for the demand of warriors as the kingdom is in need. Lord Dakota has already gave me the number of the warriors I will take with me in the war to fight our enemies and I will be glad if you gave me others to complete the number, my lord."
Lord Denver thought about that for a while and said. "Lord Dakota is clever and a good man for the kingdom, if he accepted, why wouldn't I? And the reason I'm still here and my twon is in the safe place it's because of you and your men. I can't refuse to offer my kingdom." Albany said.
"Thank you, my lord." Arthur was happy that it wasn't difficult for them to react so they can go back to the castle but Denver asked him to stay for the wedding. "But I would love, you to stay for the wedding. It would be a pleasure to have an honoured man at the wedding."

In the south, Star Fell. David never came back to listen to Laura's punishment and he came after three days. Laura started to be impatient, when she saw him arriving she got closer quickly so angry.
"Why did you take so long to come back, I have already my punishment but look the day you came?" She asked. Calmly he replied. "First, you are not supposed to talk to me like that, remember why you are here, woman. Second, you are not my priority, I had stuff to take care of and third, I don't care how many days I made you wait." He said.
She recognised the person she was talking to and put her emotions back she sighed and stayed calm.
"So then tell me, what will I do with you?" Asked. She took time to respond and said. "I will marry you, it is the worst thing that would ever happen to me. Because of course I hate you so much."
David laughed at her. "Are you quite serious? Do you realise what you are talking about? That would be a gift from Gad to marry me and I would never, ever marry someone in your level so then woman, you lose...you will stay here the rest of your life." He said and left her there shouting "no,no,no, please, no,no,no, don't keep me in here." She was crying and David didn't care.

David went to see his mother and she was in her room drinking wine, she was drunk and David entered the room.
"Your maid, told me you was here." He said, standing behind her and then she turned back and looked at him. She looked miserable and she was crying.
"You are drunk, mother!" He added. "So? I'm crying too...if you didn't notice, how do you want me to react when you let your daughter marrying an evil man?" She asked with a broken voice.
David got closer a bit, looking her mother.
"You can't blame yourself for that, mother. That is the decision father made and Ameera agreed. So...if anything happened to her, she will not blame you but father." He said, trying to calm her down.
Lady Raya looked at him with disappointment face and stood up, she got closer to her face.
"She's your sister, you should have taken care of her instead of always doing your evil mood." She said and left him in the room. He thought about it and drink the wine her mother left on the table.

Back in Frost Harbor kingdom. Princess Madeline was in her chamber with Elsa helping her doing her bath.
"I don't think they will help you, your Highness. It has been years since king Albert wants our kingdom, i don't think he will help you to get it then let you rule it." Elsa said. "What is your suggestion, Elsa?" Madeline asked gently. "I mean, I don't think they agreed to help you that easy to get back what is yours but they will use you." She replied.
Madeline gave a short smile and said. "Then we will see who will use who."

In the meeting room, King Albert, his guard Jonathan, the crown prince Audrey, Queen Clarence and lord Yemen. They took time to talk about Princesses Madeline and her proposal.
"Of course, we can't trust her, we don't know if what she say is the truth. Let us be clever, they sent her so we can't think they would risk their princess to the enemies. She's here as a spy." Jonathan said.
"I don't think they could risk for anything the princess, I think she telling the truth, her step sister, is the one who is on the throne now. Queen Eleanor who is married to the lord commander Arthur." Yemen said.
"So you are saying we should trust what she's saying and do as she's saying?" Audrey asked.
"We can't help her to get the land, I fight for the years to have, that will never happen." The king made things clear.
"Then why do you keep her here, we should start the war with her head on javelin." The queen said.
"I don't know for Queen Eleanor but what I know is that Arthur is a clever man and he loves his land, he will help the queen on everything as now he's closer to the queen. There our big problem now." Yemen said.
"I think we should play a game with her, let her stay here and help us to get what we want then we will kill her as others in her land." Jonathan said.
"Let's do that, and if we see that she's useless we will kill her to declare the war." the king said.

At midnight, King Albert invited the princess Madeline on the table to share a drink of wine, only two of them in the room. Princess Madeline changed the gown as they already gave her the clothes she will be wearing while living in their kingdom.

Madeline was brave with no fear to anyone whatever the title you may have or power, which made her look exactly like her step sister and his father.
The only difference of Madeline, she  used her brave and intelligent to get what she wants by using the worst methods and that makes her look stupid which she's not.
"I love the environment here, it beautiful which I think it's same to people here." She said, trying to start the conversation.
"Even if I accepted for you to stay here, that doesn't mean I trust you. I trut someone who had done something to convince me." He said.
Madeline nodded once and said. "I understand, your Majesty. You would be...if you give me your trust by now. But if you help me why not do the same for you." She was giving a smile.
"I'm glad you understand, which means you will understand too if I tell you that you are not allow to leave the castle and you will be accompanied by a guard on your every move. I'm not suggesting anything but only for the security of my kingdom." He said.
Madeline sighed in shock a bit but she didn't want to show it then she kept giving a smile.
"Totally right, I don't even have to think of getting out of here but I would like to ask you something your Majesty." She asked.
"Go on, my lady!" He responded.
"Please! I will do whatever you want but please, I need my maid to stay with me." She asked. "I can do that for you." He replied.
They continued to share tea together.

Silverscale kingdom, Pyre Fall in the north, next day before the marriage, early in the morning as the grandmother of Denver's, Lady Tiana will not be present on the marriage, Lord Nathaniel went with lady Ameera to see her so she can give them her blessing accompanied by the two guards.

Lady Tiana went to live a way, in her place alone between the woods after lord Denver killed her daughter-in-law, and told her son Albany to never show his face again to her but even if his grandson is evil as their father, she didn't have a choice than to tell them to stop by her place sometime.

Lord Arthur, Kenneth and Matthew they profited to visit the warriors before the wedding and lord Ryan was with them.

In all ways lady Ameera found strange the way lord Nathaniel did say a word to her and it was long, but she didn't mind much because she wasn't feeling comfortable with him and has nothing to say to him back.
To arrive, it was a small place with two people, a woman who takes care of her because she was blind and lady Tiana her own. The guards stayed outside and lord Nathaniel and Lady Ameera entered the house and shared launch with lady Tiana. While on the table...
"You are going to marry a beautiful woman, Nathaniel, I feel it." She said.
"You are not wrong, Grandmother. She's beautiful and she has a quiet beautiful smile too." He replied.
Ameera looked at him and smiled and Nathaniel looked at her back and smiled too.
"Can you come closer to me so I can touch you?" Lady Tiana asked.
Ameera looked at lord Nathaniel to see what he think of it and Nathaniel nodded twice for agreement. Ameera stood where she was and go to sit beside lady Tiana and Tiana turned up to her and started touching in her face softly.
"You are really beautiful, no one can deny that, you are kind, humble, you like to help...and you don't like to see someone being injustice, you are pure, your emotions are so close which makes you cry to everything seems bad for you." Lady Tiana said with her old voice.
Ameera was surprised to hear that. "I'm I right?" Lady Tiana asked and put her hands off in her face.
"I...don't know, but I think it's true because everyone in my twon has told me that." Ameera said.
"I can tell!" Lady Tiana added. "I'm... sorry to say this, my lady but I feel a bit surprised that you can see all that in me by just touching my face." Ameera said.
"Daughter, Gad may have took my eyes but he gave me a gift and that gift I'm gonna use it by telling you that you are not going to be unhappy in your marriage, your mother was right." Lady Tiana said.
Ameera was shocked and stepped back a little slowly.
"Grandmother, you don't have to scary her with your words." Nathaniel said.
Ameera turned back and looked at Nathaniel. "You don't have to take serious what she says, she an old woman who think she knows everything." Nathaniel said trying to calm her down. "I think we should go now lady, everyone is waiting for us." He added.
Nathaniel walked outside about Ameera to leave and Lady Tiana caught her arms harder which scared Ameera.
"You are going to live a miserable life in that family you are going to marry and no one in your family will help you or understand you." Lady Tiana said.
Ameera breathing heavily and scared then asked. "Do you realise that it is in your family I'm going to marry in?"
"Go on and ask yourself why I left my family and came here." She replied.
Lady Tiana let her go and Ameera stood up quickly walking going outside and Lady Tiana added. "But don't worry one day you will survive but it will be too late."
Ameera looked at her and got out of the house really scared with heart biting.
