Ailema walks with the guards and the king to the palace, in Ailema's mind she was like,
'Oh my gosh! I am going to the castle! Amazing! Oh if only my dad could see me now.'

Ailema felt a tear drop from her eye and when she saw the king look back at her, she quickly wiped it away, but the king saw that tear and asked. "What is wrong, Ailema? Why do you cry?"

Ailema shook her head, "It's....it's....nothing really." She responded, "It is something if you are crying." The king stated, "Well...it's not about anything today." She said.

"Then what is it?" The king asked, "It...it was just a thought in my mind that triggered a memory that I put away far back in my mind for a reason."Ailema said.

"Well what was it?" The king asked, "Nothing okay?" Ailema said, "Tell me please, Ailema." He said, "No." Ailema said, "Tell me." The king commanded.

"I said no! I don't want to talk about it!" Ailema shouted, she ran away crying with memories returning...and they aren't good ones.

                                                                      *FLASH BACK*

Ailema see's her dad from where she was--which was under the bed--fighting with someone.
"Ailema! Whatever happens stay strong and be brave!" Her dad said, and then the most horrible thing happened....he got stabbed by the sword of someone named Sir Redmond De Hilden right in front of little seven-year-old Ailema and immediately she thought she would get payback and he would die by his own sword!

Ailema was so lost in her thoughts that she wasn't paying attention to where she was going when she spotted a cliff like five feet away from her and she fell....but...someone had grabbed her right on time and pulled into the arms of this big bulky figure.

"Uh...hello," Ailema said. "You wanting to die?" The man asked, "Yes...I mean no! I was just lost in my thoughts!" Ailema exclaimed, "Where were you running from?" He asked.

 "Um....White Mound," she said. "Why?" He asked, "I was actually running away from the king." She said, "You're an outlaw!" He exclaimed, "No he was actually inviting me to the castle." She said.

"Wait, what!?" He exclaimed, "Yeah." Ailema said, "Why?" He asked, "I don't know...he said I was special or something like that." She said.

"What?" He said, "Yeah." She said, "Cool, I can tell why." He said, "What?" She asked, they looked at the kingdom and saw light coming towards them quickly.

"We need to go to my house!" He exclaimed, "Why?" Ailema asked, "Because if the guards come looking for you then they will see me and....I'll probably get executed." He said.

"What! Why?" Ailema asked, "Well...you see....I'm an outlaw." He said, "Oh...wait!" Ailema exclaimed, "What?" He asked, "Do you know Sir Redmond De Hilden?" She asked.

"Yes, why?" He asked, Ailema gasped, "Take me to him!" She shouted, "Okay...why?" He said, "Because he's a dead man!" Ailema exclaimed. 

 "What! You're going to kill him!?" He exclaimed, "Yes, by his own sword." Ailema said coldly, "Why?" He asked, "Because he killed my father in front of my own eyes when I was seven years old!" She shouted.

"Oh my gosh I am so sorry for your loss but he....he is my father," he said. "What!?" She exclaimed, "Yeah...um...I am William Sir Hilden, son of Sir Redmond De Hilden." He said.

"Well then...I am sorry for your loss," Ailema said. "What loss?" William asked, "The loss that will occur when I kill your father!" She shouted, "You were really close to your father weren't you?" William asked.
