"This better be perfect." Princess Rosella ordered as several servants worked on her hair, her dress, her fingernails, and her make-up. From the other room, Riley and the others could hear her grumpy and bossy orders.

"I think I'll barf if I hear one more—" Riley saud, but got interrupted as one more order was said by Princess Rosella.

"NO MARYLYN, I WILL FIRE YOU AT YOUR JOB IF YOU DON'T DO MY HAIR LIKE WHAT I TOLD YOU!!!"

"Order..." She sighed, annoyed. The bell then rang. It was time for their wedding. "I... guess this is goodbye?" Lyra asked. "I guess." Zhion shrugged. Just then, one of the butlers came in and signaled Zhion towards the altar.

"You may now, kiss thy bride." The high priest of Deloniah said. Princess Rosella licked her lips and slowly went near Zhion, but then Riley busted down the main door and shouted, "STOP THE WEDDING!!!" The guests looked shocked and confused when the high priest spoke up, "Is there something the matter, officer?" She suddenly stuttered nervously and deepened her voice, "U-UH, I-I... UH, TH-THIS MUST BE... UH... AN... TH-THAT... THAT GROOM IS A-AN IMPOSTER!!!" Everyone in the room gasped and glared at Zhion. He decided to play along.

"Oops, I must be in the WRONG ROOM AND NOT IN THE RIGHT ROOM!!" He slowly backed off and ran towards the exit, while Princess Rosella looked confused.

"FINALLY!!!" Zhion shouted, finally free from the wedding. Lyra and Lyca ran towards them and they both gave Zhion a big hug. "What happened! Why is the wedding cancelled?" Lyca asked. Zhion fell silent and gazed at Riley before turning back at the twin fairies. Lyra replied, "Nice save Riley." "Yeah nice... save." She mumbled. Then suddenly, she remembered her grandma and started worrying, "Ohh.. where do we find grandma... AND WHERE IS MARCUS?!" Lyca answered, "Went into the dungeons, freed innocent people." Just then, Marcus came back with several people, including their grandma. "Grandma!!! I missed you." She ran towards her grandma and gave her a big hug. "Don't worry Riley, I am alright. Luckily your brother Marcus rescued me. We were about to beheaded awhile ago after the wedding." She sighed a breath of relief as they all searched for an exit from the cruel kingdom, but just then, one of the freed prisoners protested, "No, we can't just escape." They all gasped and looked at her; she had golden locks, braided into two long braids and bangs that had almost covered her forehead. She had blue eyes, and wore a blue dress with a white apron. "Not this way. We need to fight back. We lost the war, I know. I am from Lenorah. And as a servant of that kingdom, I want to fight back to truly earn our freedom. Cause what will happen if we just escape from this cruel land? They'd still continue causing war. So I say, WE STRIKE BACK AND TAKE BACK WHAT'S OURS: OUR FREEDOM!!!" She raised her sword upwards, as sign of her pledge to fight back. Her sword had the royal symbol of Lenorah, and soon, all of the other freed prisoners raised their weapons; bows and arrows, spears, scythes, lances, and shields, and all of those weapons bore the sy,bol of Lenorah. Soon, even Riley, Lyra, Lyca, Marcus and Zhion joined in their freedom cry. Riley went towards Grodella, and asked her, "So what's our first move?" "Don't worry, I'll tell you every detail we all need to do. And it starts tomorrow." She winked as they quietly headed out to the castle's back doors and slept at the nearby forest clearing.
