The dawn of the next morning has arrived. The 5 royal guards set of to bring back Archer Hastings from the Alodias Village.
Archer was woken up by the sound of galloping horses outside. 'What is going on?' He thought as he got out of bed and ran downstairs. The village people ran outside to see what was happening. Archer and his father ran outside to see 5 royal guards on majestic horses galloping into the village.
"Hear ye! Hear ye!" A guard said aloud. The village people listened attentively.
"We are royal guards from the royal palace of Lendorr Kingdom. We come looking for a young man named Archer Hastings of Alodias Village" the royal guard continued.
Archer and the rest of the village people were shocked to hear that the guards are looking for him. Old lady Margaret walked over to the royal guard with her walking cane.
"Excuse me, young man" she said.
"Yes?" The guard said.
"What are you going to do with our young Archer?"
"I would like to know as well!" Archer's father said, furiously.
"The royal family would like to meet Archer Hastings, no further questions" the guard replied.
Archer was hesitant at first, but walked over to the royal guards since he wouldn't want to disobey the royal family. "Uh, I'm the young man you're looking for" Archer said.
"Archer Hastings, come with us" a guard said, as he led a horse over to Archer. "Hop on"
"Archer!" Archer's father shouted. Archer turned to his father, "Yes father?"
"Archer, do not leave with these guards, they could be kidnappers imposing as royal guards" his father said whilst giving the guards a stink eye.
"But they could also be actual royal guards from the royal palace. We wouldn't want to disobey the royal family now would we?" replied Archer.
Archer's father let out a sigh. "Alright, but be careful son"
"I will, goodbye father" Archer said as he hugged his father and got on the horse and galloped away with the royal guards.

The 5 guards, along with Archer, arrived at the royal palace. The palace was a beautiful castle, with pastel white and gold walls and pillars, with a large yard that wraps around the whole castle grounds outside, with pathways of course. By the royal entrance stood the royal family, Queen Angelique, Prince Jonathan, Prince Brandon and lastly Prince Nathaniel. 'Oh good Lord, the whole royal family is here!' Archer was so nervous to meet the royal family, he couldn't even think straight.
"There's your future wife, Nathaniel" Prince Brandon said, teasingly.
"Shut it, Brandon" Nathaniel said.
"Usually you'd turn away the maiden as soon as they entered the royal gates" Prince Jonathan said. "Aren't you going to turn him away yet?"
"Brother, why don't you focus on your love life for a change?" Nathaniel said.
"No arguing, boys" Angelique said as she walked forward to greet Archer.
Archer got off his horse and walked towards Angelique. "Good morning, your majesty" he said as he bowed to the queen.
"Good morning, darling" queen Angelique said.
'Her majesty has soft, serene voice, and her beauty surpasses all of my expectations' Archer thought as he stood back up straight. "May I ask, why has her majesty called for me?"
Angelique turned to Nathaniel and said, "Would you like to answer that question, son?"
Nathaniel sighed and walked towards Archer. 'Woah, Prince Nathaniel is even more handsome than what old lady Margaret said... wait what am I saying?' thought Archer as he bowed to the prince. "Your majest-" his words were cut short by Nathaniel as he lifted Archer's chin up and said, "I am to marry you, Archer Hastings."
"...huh?"
