(before you listen to the song just know it is dedicated to Heinrich and Baron ;) )


***** Harry's POV *****





"What do we do?" Artemis whispers to me, trying not to draw attention to the situation. I turn to her with a stone hard face and begin walking out of the door.

"I am going to talk to your father, stay here." I see Artemis in the corner of my eye begin walking with me. "I mean it, Artemis! Stay here!" I direct her, and she sits down on the bed and I close the door behind me quickly. I find the guard closest to our suite and order them to stay with Artemis until I return, and begin walking towards King Reagan's office. I know she would just try to find an easier way to do this, or a safer way. But I can't do it her way anymore, I need Heinrich in handcuffs or dead.

I finally get to Reagan's office and knock on the door, trying to not bang on it. "Come in." Reagan says softly, and I open the door to see Reagan slumped in his office chair.

"Are you okay?" I ask, sitting down in the chair in front of him.

"Just tired Prince Harry, the duties of a king are never ending." King Reagan sits up, folding his hands in front of him. "What gives me the pleasure of your presence?"

"Art and I have been receiving letters from an anonymous source since we got back from our honeymoon." I say, handing him the letter. "This is only the second one, but whoever this is has the right information. It is how I saved those girls the other night."

The King quirks his eyebrow. "Do either of you have any idea who this could be?"

"No idea. Do you think you can send some or the guards to these places undercover? Have them check the basement and get the girls?" I ask with pleading eyes and the King sighs.

"Harry, I do not have the manpower to take all of them down at once." Reagan runs his hands over his face, sighing obviously feeling defeated.

I slam my hands on his desk. "But Heinrich might be in one of these places too!" I regret right as I say it, King Reagan's face drains of color.

"You do not mean-" He looks down at the note, and finally reads the part where it says 'evil king' and looks back at me with a distraught look on his face.

"Yes! He has been behind all of this! We know he has a partner in this kingdom though too and we are trying to figure out who it is!" I interrupt loudly and Reagan clears his throat.

"Okay," Reagan puts a hand up to stop me, and puts on a strong face "I can spare a three man team for each of these locations. It will happen the day after tomorrow." He looks at me hoping that'll be enough to satisfy me and I nod sighing in relief and meet his gaze.

"Thank you." I say and turn to leave.

"Harry you might be his son but you are not him. Do not forget that." Reagan says as I keep walking to the door and leave. For once I feel at peace knowing my father will be arrested and executed. He deserves it, and I'll be free of him finally.





***** Artemis' POV *****

Harry runs out of the room and I slump into the lounge chair in my room with my head in my hands. I don't understand where his attitude has been coming from lately but I cannot stand it, I am just trying to help.  I jump a little when there is a light knock on the already open door.

"P-princess Artemis?" Aurora mutters, peeking her head through the door.

"Oh, hello Aurora. Is everything okay?" I sit up, trying to quickly compose myself. Aurora stands next to me on my bed.
