Chapter 17

Princess Emily's P.O.V.

I woke up early the next morning. Harry was laying beside me, staring at me with a smirk on his face.

"Good morning, Sleeping Beauty" he said.

"Good morning, Prince Charming. Did you have fun last night?" I asked.

"Yes I did" he smirked and kissed me. It lasted a few moments, then I got up and got dressed.

I was walking down to get Bridget and Darcy, when the four of the queen's guards stopped me.

"Princess, there are two peasants we've captured" Ashton said.

"That's great. I'll deal with them later" I said.

"But they're from HER kingdom" Michael said.

"Who are they?"

"Come with us and we'll show you" Calum said. I nodded and followed them to the dungeons. Luke took me to the cell they were in.

He opened the door and I was stunned to see who it was.

"What are you doing here?" I asked in an angry voice. I crossed my arms and glared.

"Aye, that's not a very nice way to greet your bother" Tom, my brother, said.

"It's not very nice to invade a kingdom that isn't yours" I shot back.

"Whoa, calm down there, Parker. No need to be feisty" Max said. No ones called me Parker in fifteen years.

"Don't sass me. I'm above you here and I can have you killed or imprisoned. So watch it!"

"Calm down, sis. We came looking for Nathan."

"Why would he be here?"

"Cause he likes you and-"

"And nothing" Tom interrupted Max. I bet he thinks we don't know about the war.

"Well, he's not here. Guards, get these peasants out of this kingdom and back to their home" I ordered. They came and led them out the door.

Christine and I were on our way to meet with the queen. She had figured out all the fighting styles and warrior strengths of our enemy.

The meeting was short and I needed some down time.

"Christine, they're having a fighting lesson in the garden. Go learn to protect yourself. Nathan is there and he can help you" I winked.

"But I have to-" she started.

"No, you don't. Go have fun. Take a break."

"Well, alright."

I was walking around the palace, when I found myself at the library. I walked in and saw a book open on one of the tables. I walked over and saw it was a book about HER kingdom.

I started flipping through the pages, when I found pictures. I saw one of me. It was the last one before I ran away. I had my hand on my stomach. That was when I was pregnant with Bridget. It was the day I ran away. I was only sixteen.

I flipped back to ones from earlier. There was a lot of Nathan and I. I also found one with me and Tom. So many memories. Then, I flipped to later. There was one of HER. I was in the background. I was looking off and smiling. I was probably looking off to this kingdom.

"What are you doing?" Harry asked me. I spun around, surprised.

"You scared me. I was just looking through this book of The Land of Almost Here. I found some old photos" I said.

"Really? Let me see!"

He ran over and started looking. He was smiling until he came on a page.

"Look at this" he said. I walked over and looked. It was an article about when I left. It said, "Princess Emily Parker leaves kingdom for the enemy. She is a traitor and shall never be spoken to or about ever!"

"Wow, harsh kingdom" Harry said.

"I know. You remember why I left."

"I do. Now, come on! They need us in the garden as instructors."

"Right behind you" I said as we headed to the garden.

Prince Tom's P.O.V.

"Stupid sister. I hate her. She's a bitch," I said to Max as we entered the castle. "She literally had the nerve to make us spend the night in prison!"

"I know. But, at least she didn't have us killed. At least she let us go," Max said. He did have a point.

"Your Highnesses," one of the guards said, "Queen Taylor needs you right away."

Okay, so, Taylor needs us. Great. She'll have another gloating session about how wonderful her plan is.

We walked to the throne room and saw Taylor sitting there.

"Hello boys, I've got the most brilliant plan!" She exclaimed.

"What is it?" I asked.

"One of my spies has just informed me of something we can use to our advantage. Your sister has a daughter, named Darcy," she said with an evil smirk.

"WHAT! SHE HAS A KID WITH THAT PIECE OF-"

"SILENCE! Prince Harry will soon be King Harry. After my plan succeeds."

"And what is your plan exactly?"

"We are going to kidnap Darcy during the fighting and hold her hostage."
