Point of View (Completed)

Fumi: 25

Robert and I reached the end of the stage and we faced King Joseph and Queen Lea announce something at the crowd on the stage.
"Thank you everyone, for being here! This may actually be the end of our United Festival. The last night, so we will let you have the courtyard until 1 in the morning, for all of you to cherish this last joyous moment!" King Joseph yelled.
The crowd cheered.
"Under the authority of my trusted advisor Kate Caine, the party will resume. But as for us, we will hit the hay, so please everyone. Enjoy!" Queen Lea yelled and once again the crowd cheered.
"Good Night!" They both said then went down the stairs as the music became joyous.

I scowled at them both. 
"Fix your face, Myrtle, those are your parents." Robert said.
Robert bowed respectfully to them both as they arrived.
"Prince Robert. A pleasure to finally meet you." King Joseph said.
"And I you, Your Highness." Robert said as he regained his posture.
I growled, "I am not marrying him."
They all looked at me.
"Myrtle?" Queen Lea said.
"I am not his fiancée, never was never will be. So can we drop this topic off?" I replied.
Robert chuckled, "With all due respect, Myrtle. This is for the peace of kingdoms."
Joseph nodded, "Well-mannered, I like this boy, better than-"
"What? Me?" I growled.

 He cleared his throat and took a half-step back. 
"For the peace of both kingdoms? Are you kidding me? I caused the trouble for both kingdoms and if we share a partnership with them there's no use!" I yelled over the music.

Queen Lea took a deep breathe then came nearer to me, "Sweetie-"
I swatted her hands away that were attempting to hold my shoulders, "Don't 'sweetie' me, Lea. I am not your puppet, I live my own life! I am not a tool or a plan only to marry for advantage, I am a human! I am your daughter! What part of that can't you understand?!"

"What part I can't understand?! Why can't you understand anything?! I am doing this for the greater good of the kingdom, I am doing this so that your kingdom would not crumble to pieces when Me and your father are gone! I am doing this for you!" Lea yelled.

"You are doing this for yourself, Joseph and the kingdom. If you ever wanted a child that accepts her fate, you should have planned a well-loved childhood for her! You can't even remember the man you loved that created me!" 

Tears were in her eyes, "The man.. I loved..? But that's your father.. Joseph.."
"Leonardo Theodore Johnathan Swan is my real father, I have been trying my whole life for you to remember him, but nothing ever got you curious, I never brought the name Swift as my last name, because Joseph James Swift is not my father."

She stepped back in shock, just realizing everything. Joseph held her shoulder but she quickly ran away. I watched her go then Joseph slapped me to the ground. 
"Myrtle!" I heard Gray said.
"Myrtle!" I also heard Harold say.

They came to my side.
"Are you okay?" Harold asked.
I stood up with their help, "You never ever told her, huh?"
His eyes were red in fury he slapped me again, hearing Harold and Gray's worry but I just let them do what they want. 
"Where are your reflexes? Use them." Harold said.
"No, no. Let his fury go, it'll make this scene dirty with blood." I said standing up.
I faced Joseph again, "You're a coward, you're afraid to lose the girl you love so you kill her husband, and cause her amnesia so that she will only be confused and fall for you." I stated.

His hand were raised like he was gonna slap me again.
"Go ahead, keep on hiding your shame through your slaps to me. That doesn't make you any manlier and braver."
He hesitantly lowered his hand, "The potion's wearing off.. She's going to remember everything after this."
I cracked a small smile, big mistake. I was punched right in the stomach and I flew about a few feet away causing the crowd that noticed us to gasp. Gray and Harold were coming to me, but Tyler suddenly came to my side and held my head. 
"Myrtle.. You okay?" He asked.
I spat out some blood to side and coughed. I struggled to stand up as the three boys helped me.
Joseph noticed the crowd, "Change of plans! Party's over! At the count of 10 if there is still a single soul in here will die! 10-!"

Everyone scurried away, but the 6 of us didn't move a muscle. I smirked at Joseph as he glared at me. Robert was still at the side staring at us, like he was still letting everything that happened sink in. 

Not a minute later, the courtyard was quiet we could only hear Joseph's heavy breathing. 
"You will regret this, Myrtle. Big Time." He gritted his teeth.
"Okay. Oh, can you kill me next time with your pinky? Because that would be a total crack." I said.
He grumbled then walked away. My legs gave up on me as I almost fell to the floor if it wasn't for the three boys that were helping me. 
"Myrtle." Tyler said.
"Easy, girl." Harold said.
Robert shook his head and snapped out of his daze. He saw me and quickly ran to me.
"A-Are you okay, Myrt?" He asked as he was about to kneel beside me.
But Tyler stood and punched his face. Robert flew back holding his chin. 
"What the hell's your problem?!" Robert yelled.
Tyler punched him again so Robert was now on the ground, "You didn't even protect her, idiot!"
I looked at Harold, "Hold him back."
He nodded and went to Tyler.
"I didn't know what was happening! I thought his dad would just talk some sense her. I didn't know she would get beat up like this-" Robert tried to explain.
But Tyler punched him again, Harold placed his arms around Tyler's neck holding him back, then whispered something.
Tyler stopped struggling then looked at me, his expression softened. Harold let him go.
"You are not fit to be her husband at all." Tyler said with finality.
I coughed again and blood came out, "This sucks."
"Your so cold, Myrtle." Gray said.
My eyes were dropping, "I don't feel so go-"
I blacked out.
