The group quickly walked away from the scene and made their way to the parking lot. There were tons of people trying to get into the fair despite reaching max capacity to get a glimpse of the royal couple. They were able to go through the crowd without being stopped and made their way to Lyrica's car. She decided to drive back and started the engine.

"That was crazy," she said as she pulled out of the parking spot and got onto the main road, "I hope Ryan and Lucia are okay..."

"I wonder how they even knew we were there." Cassien questioned and turned on the radio.

"Breaking! It appears that the Prince of Valentino and Lady Lyrica are here at the Bay's Summer Fair! This worker was the one who spotted the Prince."

"Yea so like I was just working here at the funnel cake booth when this guy with dark hair and blue eyes walks up and hands me a hundred dollar bill to break. Then I noticed their wallet, man it was their wallet! It had the emblem of the royal family of Valentino! Before I can get their autograph they left. But I knew I had to Tweet about it."

"Are you serious?" Aubrey looked at the Prince.

"The funnel cake booth...The one we went to..." Alice thought back to it.

"Crap..." Cassien looked over to Lyrica who had an annoyed look on her face, "Lyrica—"

"Your wallet was the one thing that gave it away..?"

"I didn't realize that worker was staring at my wallet like that."

"..." Lyrica was silent and everyone knew deep inside she was pissed. Her only focus at this point was to make it back home safely.

"I mean at least we had a good day today?" Alice tried to remind Lyrica before she ripped Cassien's head off.

"Yea..." Lyrica sighed out.

After half an hour they all made it back home and Lyrica parked the car on the driveway. They got out of the car and Lyrica said goodbye to Aubrey.

"I'll see you in Valentino...Maybe we'll see if I decide to make a visit," She tells Lyrica.

"You'd better make a visit. I didn't avoid death for you to never see me again. I'm really happy you've decided to volunteer overseas too."

"I am too...It'll get some getting used to. But someone told me that there is more out there in the world than here stuck in this piece of land." Then she looked at the Prince, "Watch after her, and also your brother."

"Alright, take care Aubrey."

Aubrey hugged Lyrica goodbye and went into her car. She started the engine waved to them and drove out of the neighborhood. Lyrica watched as she drove off and the remaining three walked back inside the house.

"I am so tired from running." Alice yawned.

"Running? We barely ran." Cassien pointed out.

"I know." She shrugged and walked into the living room.

Cassien went into the guest room to prepare to leave as Lyrica went to her room to change into her pajamas. After she was done she knocked on his door and went inside.

"Are you still upset?" He asked her as he folded his clothes into his suitcase. He folded it nicely into squares and rectangles making the clothes stand upright when he placed it in his suitcase.

"No...It was out of your hands," she sat on the bed and watched him fold his clothes, "Sorry if it seemed like I was overreacting back there."

"It's fine I understand why you would be upset. It's hard living under the public's eye. I mean I've done it for nearly eighteen years at this point." He explained to her.
