(HELENA LEE'S POV)

Oh, pity this boy. He is never going to understand that I'm doing this for his own good.

I placed his baby picture down and let out a sigh. Marshall.

"Mom!" A loud voice, heavy with anger, called. I turned to see Marshall, standing in front of me with Marceline. He just looked at me, the foyer filled with silence. I didn't even notice them get inside. Marceline's face was red like she got hit. I didn't mind her.

"Let me guess. She and Ashley got into a fight?" I said calmly as I looked at Marshall and only him. He looked at Marceline, and then back at me.

"Where is she?"

I only shrugged. There was a moment of silence for a while.

"Do you havr something to do with all this?" He asked angrily but calmly. Maintaining my composure, I answered simply, "No." Ashley just acted on her own.

"You're still going to lie anyway. But remember this mom, if this keeps up, you're never going to see us again. We'll leave."

His threat made me laugh. Funny boy! "Oh Marshall, you know I'll always find you, right? Don't be silly!"

"Or can you? Don't assume to be so sure," he smirked.

"Oh really?" I said sternly.

"Yes really," he looked straight to my eyes.

I remained calm. "Then do as you wish." He and Marceline left. Marceline glared at me. So you already have the nerve, girl? I only half-smiled. They closed the door.

I'm not that dumb to let that happen, Marshall. I always have my ways. If something were to happen to your girlfriend, could you still leave?

(MARSHALL'S POV)

"You're making that face again," She broke the silence. I looked at her. "Am not."

We were still in the Nightosphere. We sat on top of a huge boulder.

"I told you, you shouldn't have come. You should've took a rest. You didn't do anything anyway."

"Excuse me?"

"Well, did you?"

"Of course."

"What?"

"Kept you calm before you turn into a giant bat and crush your mom."

I can't help but grin at her statement. "Shut up," I said and then bit my lip. I pinched her nose and she smiled back.

"What place were you talking about, anyway?" She asked, curious about what I said earlier.

"I don't really know. Just somewhere far away," I said simply.

I smiled and looked at her. "Just somewhere far away," I repeated. "We'll build our own house. There, nobody will bother us anymore." And there will be more to that, love. Wish I could tell you but I want it to be a surprise. In the right time.

"And your mom can't find us there?"

"Nah, maybe she will. She does get what she wants. Except me being married to Ashley, I can assure that. But it might take her a while." I smile. Although I think that was not much of an explanation that could answer her questions, she smiled back and laid her head on my shoulder. "As long as I'm with you, my king."

I took her hand and kissed it. I looked at her and smiled goofily.

"I love you my queen."

"I love you too, my king."
