Knuckella

Gone

The king paces worried for his daughter as the time gotten closer for sonic to arrived. He knows sonic is going to tell Knuckella the truth and ask her to marry him. "Well then she's not a to show but then again you were sick and she had couldn't go so why would she need to here?" She said smiling. "Still it is respectful of the guest." He snapped. The guard walks in and shakes his head. "She's no where to be found sire she's gone" he said. "Keep searching" "Yes sire but Prince Sonic's couch is arriving as we speak." He said. "Still find my daughter" the king said and he bowed before leaving. After a few minutes the announcer walks in. "My king and queen and high chairman of parliament I announce the arrival of Prince sonic of the Azure kingdom." He said and Sonic walks in. "Welcome Sonic" the king said trying to hide his worry for his daughter. Yet Sonic notices but doesn't say a word. "I appreciate you allowing me to come my king. As you know I am to take a wife and had chosen one of the three princesses." Sonic said. "Of course which one have you chosen?" He said. Sonic looked at the two girls and then back. "I see we are missing one sir." He said. "I know my deepest apologies she's around here somewhere." "She wasn't even present at the ball your highness but my daughters were please choose between them since they spent time with you." She smiled. "You're right I did so I chosen" he looks at them then back to the queen. "Knuckella" he said. "What?!" The girls said. "What?! But she's—" "Right here" Sonic growled and the doors open. Knuckella walks in with cuts, dirt and some blood on her dress, a couple of cuts on her face and her hair a mess with dirt and rocks. "KNUCKELLA!!" Her father runs to her and hugs her. "What happened to you?!" He said and she glared at her stepmother then pointed at them. "Next time you push someone off a cliff hill make sure they're good and dead and not knocked out" she hissed and anger boils on the king. "She's lying my king" her stepmother said. "No she isn't because I heard and saw everything" Sonic said. "How you admitted killing your husband and Knuckella's mother by poisoning to marry the king. Now you and your daughters tried to kill Knuckella to get to me. I am not stupid. I have tested your daughters and saw the cruel and selfish hearts. As for Knuckella she was everything I wanted for a queen. Kind, selfless, cares about her people, and shared the same dream as I." Sonic said. "When he told me who he really was after he saved me and patched my wounds. I will admit I was mad at first but remember I lied about my status when we met." Knuckella said. "And then She accepted my marriage proposal. Now as for you three you will be charge for your crimes." Sonic said. "I agree.You Vera will be hanged for two counts of murder and the attempted murder. As for you two you both will be stripped of your wealth and become maids in this castle for the rest of your lives." The king said. "No please father we were only following what mother said!" Sally begged. "Yes we were!" "SHUT UP YOU UNGRATEFUL BRATS!" The stepmother said. "Father a word" Knuckella said and pulls him aside. "Look have some mercy on my stepsisters" "After all they done to you?" The king said. "Let them have their wealth from their father but they need to do the manor work themselves until they marry." Knuckella said and he sees she means it. "Alright fair enough but if they fail to learn the lesson I will give them my punishment." He said and she nods. He tells them Knuckella's deal and they thank her for her mercy and promise to do better. The guards take the stepmother to the dungeon to await her death.

Sonic walks up to Knuckella and the two share their first kiss.
