*Martinus pov*

"Let's go home" I said when Mar left "okay" Marcus said "I should have stayed, I shouldn't have run away" I said "hey, if you had stayed you'll be in the dungeons like her" Marcus said "then I should have took Leah and made her come with me" I said "no, because that way there would be guards all over the village looking for her, they would already found us and we will be all locked in the dungeons" he said "stop trying to make me feel better" I said "sorry" he said as we arrived home.

"Read it, I want to now what it says there" Marcus said "what it says in where?" Mother asked "Mar gave me a note that Leah wrote for me" I said "read it, I wanna know too" father said coming in the room "me too" Emma said coming behind him, I started to read out loud:

Dear Martinus:
The gossip woman of the village told my father about us, he has locked me in a cell in the dungeons and he wants me to marry a prince, I can't believe that he is actually forcing me to do that. I want you to run away, get out of the kingdom, go somewhere he can't find you or your family, I don't want to imagine what he would do to you if he finds you,I love you, remember that and I will never stop loving you
Be careful
Leah

"We need to save her" I said "but how?" Marcus asked "I have a plan, but first I need to ask Leah some questions" I said taking a paper "what's your plan?" Mother asked "telling this to everybody and go to save her" I said "but in the village there are only peasants and in the palace there are guards, with weapons" father said "but we are much more people" I said "okay, but make sure to have a good plan" Marcus said.

*At night*

"I'm going with you" Marcus said "okay, but I need to go to the gossip's woman house first" I said "why?" He asked "to talk" I said "no Martinus, I know what you mean" he said "don't worry" I said "Martinus no, i'm not letting you" he said standing in front of the door so I can't get out, I pushed him making him fall and run to the gossip woman's house and knocked the door "oh, hello Martinus" she said opening the door "why? Why you did that?" I said angry walking closer to her "what do you mean?" She asked walking back and I pushed her against the wall and taking her arms so she couldn't move "WHY YOU TOLD THE KING ABOUT OUR RELATIONSHIP?" I yelled completely mad "Mar..martinus, ca..calm down, you hurting me" she stuttered "NO, YOU RUINED MY LIFE, NOW LEAH IS LOCKED IN A CELL AND THE KING IS FORCING HER TO GET MARRIED WITH A RANDOM PRINCE" I yelled, I had lost my mind completely "Martinus stop!" Marcus said taking me a pulling me back "I...i'm sorry ma..martinus..I..I didn't know that would happen" she said.

"What in the hell were you thinking of?" Marcus asked as we walked "sorry, I was angry and I..." I started saying but I didn't finished "try to calm down" he said "okay, okay" I said, when we arrive Mar was already there "Hello" she said "hi" Marcus and I said at the same time "give this to Leah please" I said "I will, don't worry" she said "how is she?" I asked "not very good, she has been crying all day, she doesn't want to marry a prince, she has been talking with some of them but she only loves you and that got her father really angry and he hit her" she said "oh god, make sure she reads the note, tomorrow same place, same hour, give me her answer" I said "I will" she said and left

"Do you really think that we can save her?" Marcus asked as we walked back home "I don't know but what I know is that I'm not going to give up" I said.
