The King's Guard (BL)

Hangman

All of the guests arrived and there stood townsfolk outside the door, hoping they'd get a peak until the knights made them move along.

The wedding was about to begin and I stood patiently like I was told.

I hated this. I hated all of it. I wish I could shred the decorations from the walls.

The music played as everyone began to walk through.

...

I stood in place as Sofia came down the isle. Her veil covering her face and she held on tightly to her bouquet of flowers.

I looked at Presley. He gave me a soft grin.

She made it to me and I was told to remove her veil. I did such and my eyes watered.

You are not who I want to spend the rest of my life with.

The crowd gave aww's. They assumed I cried out of love.
No.

"We are gathered here today-..."

A loud slam erupted on the doors and interrupted the priest.

Everyone turned to look.

Another slam.

"What the hell is that?" my father asked.

Another slam and the door bursted open.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" my father shouted.

Snow and Max stood there.
"What're you two doing?!" I asked like a disappointed parent.
Max neighed like before.
"Go back to your stables!" I demanded.
Snow ran inside and came to me.
"Oh my..." Sofia stated.
"Snow, no!"
She laid down like she was telling me to get on.

The knights tried to get a hold of Max until he kicked his legs out to get them away.

Snow neighed like it was a demand. Max did the same.

Something isn't right...

"I'm sorry." I told everyone before I stepped down to get onto Snow.
"Do not get on that horse, boy." my father commanded.

I ignored him and did so anyway.

She stood and they both took off.

We made it outside of the castle and they were going faster than usual.

"WHERE ARE WE GOING?!" I asked as if I truly expected an answer.

They picked up the pace.

I held on tightly to Snow's ropes and just let them lead the way.

After a little while longer, we were getting close to a section in the middle of the town. It looked like everyone who was told to leave the front doors of the castle was standing around plus some others.
I wondered what was happening, I wasn't close enough yet.

As I inched closer I saw what was going on.

It was a public hanging.

I squinted to see who hung from that noose.

A button was pressed and the floor caved in.
"NO!" I shouted and Snow went faster.

We made it and I hopped off.

I forced myself through the crowd and made it to the stage.

"Sire, what're you-..." asked a knight.
I took his sword and quickly sliced through the rope Nathan hung from.

The crowd gasped.
