“Yes, I am so sorry. She passed after she directed me this way.” David responded.
Amelia put her arm around Guillaume and whispered “This is all my fault.”
Guillaume nodded no and hugged her back.
“No, it is definitely King Erich and King Paul’s fault for making such an unnecessary ruckus.” David responded.
“You never said what you were doing here?” Amelia asked.
“I am here to find you. Did you think I would just let you deal with this alone?” David replied. Amelia smiled.
“I just wish you would have told me you had Guillaume on your side, here I am believing you were his prisoner.” David added.
“I am sorry David, things just happened so fast there was not time to do anything.” Amelia replied.
“So what is between you?” David asked.
“I love him, David. He has become my world” Amelia replied.
“And she mine” Guillaume interjected.
“Oh my speaking of love, where is Elizabeth and the baby?” Amelia asked.
“They are well. She and the baby are in Alistair with her sister.” David replied.
“I am sorry but it is not really a good time to reminisce, what are your plans?” David continued.
“We planned on heading towards Wynnfrith and making a life there.” Guillaume responded.
“You cannot live a life in hiding, eventually someone will recognize you.” David affirmed.
“Then what shall we do? We do not have a choice.” Amelia added.
“Returning to Landford is not a choice, Thomas has gone mad. Schillingburg, well you know that’s another no” David said.
“Then what?” Amelia asked.
“How about Willshire?” David suggested.
“Willshire, have you gone mad? Paul wants me dead!” Amelia stated.
“He wants you dead because with you alive you pose a threat to his kingdom, he knows you are the rightful heir. He is there by default.” David asserted.
“So how do you suggest Amelia take her place at the throne of Willshire?” Guillaume asked.
David sat up and said “We fight for it! Go in and take it!”
“David, you need rest, you have gone insane for sure.” Amelia proclaimed.
“We are only three, we would be slaughtered.” Guillaume declared.
David laughed.
“No, not us alone. I will go back and build you an army.” David volunteered.
Guillaume paced back and forth.
Amelia laughed and replied “An Army? With who, David?”
“Do not worry with who, just say yes and it will be done.” David said.
Guillaume looks over at Amelia.
“It is your word Amelia, I am behind you whatever you decided.” Guillaume added.
“Amelia, you have many who support you, who love you. I do not see this being a problem.” David said with a smile.
“You really think we can do this?” Amelia asked.
“I would not have suggested it, if I had not thought it over.” David answered.
“Guillaume?” Amelia addressed.
“I think David would not put you in harms way. I think you should say yes. Why not?” Guillaume answered.
Amelia smiled, walked over to Guillaume, kissed him and said “Only if you will be my King?”
He smiled in agreement.
“Ok ok, that is for later, now we must plan everything well, remember you are still fugitives.” David commented.
King Erich was so obsessed with capturing Amelia and Guillaume that he began preparing his soldiers to invade Landford. He had made up his mind that this was all planned by King Thomas and Amelia was hiding out there. King Erich did not sleep planning his revenge towards them. Willshire surprised by the attack on St. Vangaltier remained quiet. King Paul decided to meet with his advisors about what had happened.
“My Liege, I do not think it was wise to put a bounty on your sister’s head, it has cause grief to St. Vangaltier and the people no longer support you.” Logan admitt
.
King Paul looked out his window pacing.
“There can be an uprise, if not dealt with.” Logan continued.
“What am I supposed to do, take back my orders. That is ridiculous. I am the King!” King Paul snapped.
“She is a traitor. My accusations are founded by her actions.” King Paul admitted.
“Yes, my Liege but she is also your sister and rightful heir to Willshire’s throne whether you like it or not.” Logan added.
“I will not take anything back, she deserves whatever she gets.” King Paul sneered.
Logan knew the people were planning a revolt. He had overheard a few speaking about it but he did not know that soon enough David would be leading them.
Word had gotten to Thomas about Schillingburg’s plan of attack. He quickly lined Landford’s borders with soldiers. Landford had a strong army so Thomas knew he was well protected and felt no worries.
