The Queen felt extremely over joyed about her plan being underway. Especially since she won't even have control in how the Kingdom is run if Y/N weds Wanda.

Wanda being a strong headed woman. Able to make her own decisions. Not tied down and muted by a society. She would be the one who is in control with Y/N. He won't need his mother's input. The Queen would be nothing but the woman who birthed him.

"By nightfall the morrow, all of the blood will be shed." Arch Bishop Rogers informed her. She never felt any remorse for her husband's or son's demise. Praying for it to become a reality in fact.

"Thank you Arch Bishop." She spoke in a sultry tone. A smirk taking over her features before she pulled him into her. "Let's have our celebration." She pulled him back towards the bed she shares with her husband.

"Here?" He asked her unsurely. "The bed you share with his Highness?"

"Yes. He won't be returning." She spoke before closing the gap between the two in a heated kiss. Making love to someone who isn't the King in a Royal bed.

Prince Y/N stood beside his father as the two and the officers all came up with a plan.

"The First Guard will be led by Prince Y/N." King Henry spoke sadly. "I wish it was different son."

"We shall fight with honour Your Highness." Prince Y/N spoke with certainty. His head held high. A smile forming on his father's face.

"Well then." King Henry spoke. "The First Guard will head out immediately. Attack as they arrive. The King's Guard will follow shortly after."

"I advise the King's Guard to follow when the moment is dire Your Highness." One of the Generals spoke with determination. The King had no choice since Prince Y/N agreed immediately.

"Then we have it. The King's Guard will wait until the last moment." Prince Y/N spoke with authority in his tone. "Prepare the First Guard." He ordered the officers before making sure he was prepared himself.

"Please be careful son." King Henry spoke when the two were alone.

"This is my duty Father." Y/N told him. "You used to tell me Heavy is the Crown we bare." King Henry sighed knowing his son was right. "We must protect our Kingdom, and our loved ones."

Little did they know that Officer Lang, one of the Queen's Guard. Also a loyal knight to King Henry, was making his way towards the camp. With news of a Royal Mutiny.

Wanda kept herself as busy as she could with chores around the farm. Taking almost all of her mothers chores too. Wanting to keep her mind straying to the worst case scenarios threatening to come forth. Not knowing that Prince Y/N was now advancing into battle as of now. With an army of 200 knights. Ready to take on a larger army by surprise as they disembark the ships.

Prince Y/N was the first to advance, his sword drawn ready to attack to unsuspecting. The First Guard following. The sound of metal clanging and gutteral screams as blood was being shed. Horses wailing when brought down. Much like the Prince's steed being struck down, causing the Prince to fall among the enemy. The King watching in horror as the battle was in motion.

Prince Y/N was fast enough to block an enemy sword. Groaning as he parried with force. Using his legs to kick the enemy down before stabbing him. Rising to his feet, just in time to take down another enemy. Just as Lang approached the King.

"Your Highness." He spoke as the King then gave the knight his full attention. "I have news of home."

"Can't it wait?" King Henry asked as his eyes soon found Y/N fighting with all of his might. Blood splattered over his face as he slaughtered the enemy.

"I'm afraid not Your Highness." Lang told him. Handing him a scroll written by Maiden Carter.

Your Highness,

We are regretful to inform you of a Royal Mutiny. A young hand maiden overheard a conversation between the Queen and Arch Bishop Rogers. Hearing of their plan to form an Alliance with The Starks. I am sorry to inform you of this but I do pray you read it before lives are lost.

Yours Faithfully
Maiden Carter

The King felt anger and hatred coursing through his body. Watching as his only son was fighting for his life. The amount of fallen bodies increasing rapidly. The King's heart shattered when he heard Prince Y/N scream out in pain. Watching as he fell to his knees. A sword impaled in his stomach.

He then reached for the horn, blowing through it, causing heads to turn his way. Seeing the Starks also retreating. The King heading towards the field alone.

"What is he doing Father?" Anthony asked his father. King Howard ignored his son and approached King Henry. King Henry dismounted his steed, taking a few steps to approach his enemy.

"Can we end this madness?" King Henry asked.

"It was you who declared war." King Howard spoke with certianty. Pulling out a scroll and handing it over to King Henry.

He saw that it had had the King's wax stamp. Knowing the only person who has access to it is his wife.

"I never authorised this." King Henry told him honestly. "I have just been informed of a Royal Mutiny. My Queen and Arch Bishop wanting to take the throne." He handed over the scroll he had just recieved. King Howard looking to him with sympathy. "Maybe we can agree on a treaty?" He suggested as King Howard gazed at him.

"We can." He nodded. Handing the scroll back over. The two had ordered for the injured to be treated immediately, and the dead to be recovered and taken home. King Henry was worried about Prince Y/N.

"You will be ok my son." He spoke as he caressed his soons head. Hoping that Y/N will be fine.
