   "When are you going to get going?" Williams asked because he was getting uncomfortable with Luke presence.

"Well I'm not going yet, like I said I came to see Isabel"

  "Well then, should we all go on a horse race" Tasha suggested

  "Yes, I would like that" Luke responded

  Williams gave Tasha a mean look,she had probably spoil his plan of making Luke go.

  "Watch out Williams, I shall beat you down in front of your love" Luke said to Williams as they were all on their horses ready for the race.

    A guard called out the start.

  Williams won the first race while Luke came second, Tasha was the last like usual.

  " I shall beat you down in front of your love"  Williams mimicked and laughed at Luke who was looking disappointed.

   The second race, started. Williams was leading when suddenly his house stopped. He was shocked at what happened. After the race, Luke came and mocked me.

   During the third race, this time his horse didn't stop but instead Williams fell from the horse.

   Isabel and Tasha was shocked at what happened, they quickly stopped there horse,came down and ran to meet Williams where he was laying on the ground moaning.

  "Are you okay, Williams?" Isabel asked as she checked every part of Williams, afraid he might have gotten wounded.

  "I'm okay" Williams said as he sat up

  Luke came to them riding on his horse.

" Hope you didn't get wounded?" He asked obviously mocking him.
 
  "Did you use your magic on me?" Williams asked angrily.

"Why would I use my magic on you?" Luke replied and laughed

"Did you actually use magic on my brother?" Tasha asked

"No, I didn't"

"It obvious you did, you coward"  Williams blurted out

   "Well, I guess it was a mistake" Like said and rode away.

  " I never knew he could do that" Isabel said looking disgusted.

   They all left the field after Luke had gone who later appeared to announce his leave.

"Luke,you must apologise to my brother before you go" Tasha said angrily

"Oh, sorry Williams. I hope you could forgive me" he said mockingly.

  He whispered something into Isabel's ears before he left.

" What did he say" Williams asked immediately he left.

  "He said he would make me his, one day"

  "What!" Tasha exclaimed in shocked

  "I knew he wants you but I won't make that happen, never!"

  "Brother,you must inform father about your affairs with Isabel and your plans to get married to her before Luke does"

  "I  would do that right away" Williams said and left for the kings chamber.

  The guards guiding his Father's Chamber announced his arrival to the king before he entered.

He greeted him.

"How are you, son" the king replied

  "Good, father. There's something I actually came to tell you, father"

"What's that"
  
"I'm planning to get married to Isabel"

  "Oh,wow, really?" He asked surprisedly

"Yes,father"

"At last you are going to get me a grandchild" the king said happily

"But there's a problem, Father"

  "Problem,what problem?" The king expression suddenly changed

"Luke wants her too and he's planning to get her even though he already knows of my affairs with her but he isn't giving up.

"What!"

"I don't want to loose Isabel, father. I really love her" he said his eyes looked pleading.

"Don't worry,my son. Luke won't have her,you shall" the king said, assuring him.

   After Williams left the king's chamber,he went to Isabel's to spend the rest of the day with her.

   As if known, Luke came with his Father,the king's younger brother,two days after to ask for Isabel's hand in marriage. The king rejected it telling them his son is already engaged with her. Luke father cursed the king and threatened to go far if he doesn't accept their offer.

    "You shall regret this, brother" he had said before leaving with his son.

   The king told Williams to stay at alert and increase the security of the palace. Everyone was scared especially the Queen, Isabel and Tasha. They knew Luke's Father was a very dangerous, powerful man.

   " I shall protect you Isabel, nothing shall happen to you" Williams said to Isabel one evening,when he went visiting her in her chamber.

  "I trust you Williams" she said as she placed her head on his chest.

Williams passed the night in Isabel's chamber that day.

   The next day, Williams went to the field to train with the guards, they were getting prepared for any suddenly attack. Isabel was also  practicing on how to use her magics well.

  Tasha has refused to come out of her Chamber ever since the day Luke and his Father came, so Isabel decided to visit her. She was laying under her thick duvet when she got to her Chamber, she was scared of getting out of bed.

  "Tasha,you don't have to be scared, nothing will happen"

  "That's what you think. You are saying this because you don't know him well. The times he fought with Father because of the throne was very bloody,he almost took father's life"

  "I'm sorry this is happening because of me" Isabel said sadly.

  "No, it's not your fault" Tasha said as she removed the duvet from her head.

  "If my parents didn't die, I wouldn't have been here to cause troubles" she said in tears.

  "No, Isabel please don't say that. You are not causing trouble,it's not your fault" Tasha said trying to console her.

*****
  Luke and his father were also preparing to make an attack in the palace. Strong mens,have been arranged and trained,they all looked ready.
  Luke's Father had already given him lots of power because he wasn't going with him on the day they have planned to set an attack.

  "I shall make you get whatever you want" his father had said to him.
