  Third person PoV...

 
  ...Prince Marcus was still in a daze as he rode ahead of their army along with his brother,
 
  suddenly a resounding slap was heard along with a throbbing pain in his head, waking him out of his stupor,
 
  he glares at his brother,
 
  "hit me again and you WILL, loose that hand"
 
  "are you still daydreaming?, it has been two days Marcus"
 
  Maxime smirked at his angry brother
 
  "I know!, I'm just-..whatever! humph!"
 
  Marcus was still at a loss for words, he still couldn't describe what the feelig was, he was usually the calmer and more level headed of the two, that was not the case at this      moment
 
  "But Maxime tell me you don't see what I see and feel what I feel right now, can you not see how beautiful those big green eyes are?..."
 
  going back in his daze Marcus understood that he must be in love, how else could he explain how he was feeling
 
  Maxime stared at his brother, of course he also thinks Phillip is absolutely stunning, but he has only known him for two days
 
  although Marcus has always been deemed the mind and him, Maxime the muscle, right now he feels that Marcus has lost some of his brain cells
 
  "I see what you see, but i can't say the same for feelings, he is beautiful but I am not like you~, lover boy you should probably look where you are going"
 
  before Marcus could react, a small hanging branch slaps him in the face causing Maxime to laugh
 
  "argh!, you wretch!, I will get you back for this!"
 
  "who are you talking to?, me or the branch?"
 
  Maxime looked at his brother with fake innocence, while Marcus glared and picked the leaves from his collar
 
  "you!"

Maxime only smiled and kept riding, but his usual frown returned and he spoke seriously to his brother

  "Brother, I think we should pay attention to what we do after taking Phillip to the palace, he is not a bad person, but we do not know his origins, I felt no manna* or any form of  energy from him, we should be careful for now"
 
  Marcus understoood what his brother was saying and also agreed, they just hope their father would as well.

  ~Phillip's PoV~
 
*************************************

  I was in a very pretty carraige where the inside was also maroon and gold like the tent,
 
  but I realized aswell that most of the armors worn by the soldiers were also maroon but with silver, only Harella, Bane and the Princes wore Maroon with gold, however the princes armors always seemed a more darker gold and maroon...
 
  anyways, I was in the carraige alone, I could look out and talk to Harella but that was too much trouble, everyone is always staring at me and I don't like it,
 
  Leaning back against the soft chair I closed my eyes, but only for a moment, for everytime I did, my mind would go to the good times I had spent with who I thought was my mother
  and I would always shed a tear or two and that was mentally and emotionally exhausting, I shook away my thoughts and breathed in and out
 
  "Captain Harella!, how long until we reach the Elemental Hall exactly?"
 
peeking out of the window, I shouted at the hulking lady with a frown on her face
 
  "about half a day, that is, if we don't meet any trouble"
 
  being the curious boy I was, I widened the opening and put my entire face out
 
  "what kind of trouble exactly"
 
  I know of a lot of different monsters and beings that roam out here but I have never witnessed any in person, you know, locked in a tower all my life kind of stuff...
 
  she drew as close to the moving carraige as possible and smiled at me, she looked a little nauseous and I wonder why?
 
  "are you okay, mi'lady?"
 
  she grinned at that
 
  "yes, I am fine, but I haven't been to Ellis* in a while"
 
  I looked at Harella confused
 
  "Ellis?, but I thought you were a faery?"
 
  Harella smiles at me as if I was a child
 
  "I am, but only partly, you see, my father is not a faery but a demon, do you understand?"
 
  does she think?-
 
  "do you think I am a child?, I am obviously an adult"
 
  she and other soldiers start to coo and laugh at me, ...do they REALLY?
 
  "it's okay Phillip, that witch kept you hostage your whole life, when we reach the Elemental Hall in Normandis, we will help teach you many things"
 
  she looked so proud of herself, I don't care
 
  "Listen, I know you feel bad for me but don't you think you misjudged me a bit?"
 
  before she could answer i continued
 
  "I may look pitiful but I am a fully grown adult male of Twenty years, even though mothe- I mean the witch was evil, she taught me well enough to know anything and everything about the three plains, all it's creatures and their respective powers, I am oblivious to many things but I am not stupid"
 
  I gave her a small smile as she stared at me with surprise
 
  "I misunderstood you, sorry"
 
  "It's okay, I just hope this is the last time, though I don't think I would be able to converse with anyone but you, I am only comfortable with talking to you"
 
  she smiles broadly at this and seems to be extatic at the idea of me being comfortable with her,
 
  I shake away those thoughts as I sat back again, and close my eyes, but this time I fall asleep almost instantly.
 
 
  ********************************
 
  When I awake; I am being carried, being shocked and scared for a second I screamed and fought to be released causing the person to fall
 
  "ouch!, Phillip relax, it is only me!"
 
  me who?
 
  "oh, I'm so sorry, I forgot where I was for a second"
 
  I am currently sitting atop Prince Marcus's chest after he fell back with me in his arms,
 
  "can you- urgh!"
 
  I scramble to get off of him with the help of a laughing Captain Harella
 
  "hm...who told you to wake him up?...I wonder?"
 
  thats right!, I was suddenly being carried in a very vulnerable state, who told him to pick me up?
 
  I don't say anything however, that would be very rude considering he is a prince, I just followed along with them now noticing my surroundings
 
  "WOW!...where are we!...it is so BEAUTIFUL!"
 
  I hear laughter and my mood instantly sours, of course they would remember,
 
  "awww!, see I told you, he would turn into a five year old when he sees the palace"
 
  not only her but several of the guards and Marcus are laughing at me, I have never felt this level of embarrassment in my whole life!,
 
  I speed ahead of them, and the gruff voice of Maxime warns me
 
  "don't walk too far with your head down-"
 
  before he could finish I bump into someone so hard I stumble a little, before I fall hands steady me
 
  "oops, I am so sorr-"
 
  when i look up i am met with glowing red ruby eyes, and skin paler than mine
 
  "hello little one, are you lost?"
 
  I am mesmerized, and I stand still just staring at him, he chuckles at my stupor
 
  "do you know it's rude to stare?"
 
  his low cold voice makes me shudder before I answer
 
  "I'm sorry, you are just the first vampire I have ever seen, and you are ver different from what the books usually say"
 
  still looking him in his eyes, he smiles and snaps his fingers infront of my eyes
 
  "come on, you are causing a scene"
 
  I then look around to see everyone has caught up and I glare at Harella
 
  "how come you never mentioned that there was a beautiful vampire here?"
 
  she snorts and I also notice Marcus glaring,
 
  "beautiful?...are you talikg about him?...Meryl...oh PUHLEASE"
 
  she starts hysterically laughing as if I told a good joke
 
  "don't listen to her, she is only jealous that i managed to bag a prince and she still has to wish for one"
 
  he smirks, but I am just confused, bag what?...I look over to find Maxime coughing in his fist and Harella now glaring along with Marcus,
 
  what am I missing?, before i get an answer a deep voice asks
 
  "I see you have returned"
