" Ready to battle?"

Sophie POV

After finally returning from the river, I went to bed. I tried not to think about the 'thing' happened between me and Fitz. As my heavy eyelids could no longer open, I fell into a deep slumber.

" Princess Sophie! Wake up!" a maiden called.

" Huh- what?" I mumbled as I woke up from my sleep.

" King Ruwen has called the Sencens to come over to discuss about the wedding," the maiden replied, bowing.

Probably about the Neverseen attacking us, I thought.

" Very well. I take it they are coming soon?" the maiden nodded.

" I will leave you now, Princess Sophie. Call if you need anything," the maiden replied before bowing and walking out of the door.

I sighed and walked to my wardrobe. I wore something not very fancy for a princess. I wore a white shirt with a short white blouse. After wearing a pair of black leggings, I wore white sneakers. Last but not least was my cloak with my moonlark pin.

As I finished fastening the pin, I walked out of my room and went to accompany my parents.

" King Ruwen, I certainly do not understand why we are having a fake wedding but very grand. Are you suggesting-" Sir Cassius started to say but when he took a glance at my outfit, he stopped himself.

" Oh dear, do we have a problem? Cause only when she wears something like that it's serious," Sir Cassius trailed on with his oily voice.

" It seems like there is, Sir Cassius," Grady simply replied.

" Lead the way then," Sir Cassius said as he sighed.

After a lot of explanation, we finally finished.

" So you're telling me that the Neverseen is going to plan an attack on my son's wedding day?! This is outrageous!" Sir Cassius said but not as furious as his words meant.

" That's precisely why we need your son's cooperation to help us," Edaline said.

" I see and I don't mind, really" Sir Cassius said after his moment of thought.

" That's settled then, shall we get on with the preparations?" Grady asked but we stayed silent.

" Silence is agreement I presume," Grady continued, " Sophie, I think you need to meet some people?"

I bowed, " I shall get going now."

" Why not bring Keefe? He is part of this," Edaline suggested but I tried to protest.

" But mum Keefe doesn't-" I was cut off.

" Of course, I am honoured to go," Keefe said.

I huffed while the parents smiled, besides Sir Cassius of course.

" Let's go," I mumbled as we stood outside of the royal gates.

" Where are we going?" Keefe asked.

" River," I responded, being quite vague.

" What?! you don't mean that river-" I cut him off this time.

" Keefe, if you want the best for me then dont ask anything. I know what I'm doing," I said.

" It doesn't look like you know what you're doing," Keefe huffed and I ignored him though I could still hear him.

" Ah, the moonlark has finally arrived," Stina smirked, I rolled my eyes.

" So what's the plan braveless moonlark?" Mr Forkle asked.

I scanned the crowds' faces and a particular teal eyed colour boy caught my eye.

He gave me a thumbs up and I smiled.

" I need Wylie and a particular someone to help with the first step," I said.
