Amelia's POV

Everything was picture perfect, my parents sat upon their thrones and watched over the festivities of the ball, Liz was with Tate, and for that I am glad, she has finally found someone who cares for her as much as I do, and finally Ethan. Ethan and I were here, together, in each others arms on the dance floor, engaged. I can't believe that this is happening so fast, but I couldn't be more over joyed than I am right now.

I rested my head on Ethan's chest as we swayed side to side to the beautiful music. I smiled, satisfied as to how this day played out. Suddenly, the music came to an abrupt stop when 10 men in masks barged into the ballroom and small explosions shattered the windows. I froze, there and then, I didn't know what to do, I just froze.

Ethan's POV

The sight of these men caused a stir in the crowd, women and children rushed over to their husbands and fathers. As everyone reunited with their family, someone kocked over a vase, causing these men to move closer to us, instinctively I stepped in front of Amelia to protect her, making sure my feet were firm. Guards immediately made their way around the crowd and surrounded these hooligans but they hadn't noticed.

One of them started to make his way to Amelia, never taking his eyes off her, I felt her hold tighten on my arm.
Just then, I saw Tate and Liz enter the ballroom through a secret doorway. Fury building up inside me as this imbecile creeped closer to my princess.

The man spoke up, "Come with me princess, we can do this the easy way or the hard way", just as his words fell onto the crowd, the King rose to his feet, "Arrest them, arrest them all and throw them into the dungeons."

Before the guards could even take a step, the man threw himself towards Amelia, but there was no way in hell that I was going to let his hands touch her. I pushed her back towards the King, he rushed to her and wrapped his arms over her protectively.
The hooligan took this moment as an opportunity and threw a punch at me. The blow caused me to stumble a few feet back, he was still coming at me, there was so much commotion going on, the royal guards had rounded up the last few intuders. This crossed the eye of the man standing in front of me.

He grew worried, rage took over him and he threw himself at me but I was too quick for him, I dodge his punch and landed one on his face and then another in his stomach. He winced in pain as held his stomach. "ETHAN!", the King called out as he threw his sword to me. The sight of the sword alerted the man and he pulled out his dagger. He plunged at me first, never learning a lesson. I blocked his thrust with my sword, knocking his dagger out of his hands, I stepped closer and held the sword to his throat as he raised his hands. "Take him away", I said out of breath.
