Elena fought the two guards as they attempted to lock her in her chambers. "Who do you think you are to force a princess into her chambers?" she spat angrily. The guards looked at each other uncomfortably not having thought of that before. Their grip on her arms loosened. This was Elena's chance. She ripped her arms out of their grip and sprinted down the hall. She could not use magic because she was still recovering from her latest use of magic. She ran towards the throne room angry that the king and herself had been interrupted during their little chat and they were far from finished yet. She yanked open the doors storming into the throne room only to find that it was empty. Elena cursed as the guards ran in. She looked around. Seeing another door she sprinted towards it only to crash into Phillip the king and a group of people standing in the hall.

Every ones heads turned as they heard the crashing footsteps. The Kings face reddened in anger as he saw that she was not in her chambers. Elena's eyes widened as she saw the woman standing next to the king. "Katie?" she said shocked that she and the others had come to find her. Katie nodded and looked at Elena eyes racking her body to seek out any signs of abuse.

"Are you OK Princess?" asked Katie after glaring at the king.

Elena sniffled, "Is Father camped nearby. Was all that Elena said not bothering to answer the question.

"He could not leave Zandeth My Lady.... Why do you ask?" replied Katie her eyes narrowing at the strange question.

"I am afraid Katie that I can not leave Andromeda unless the great King Victor is killed. Which by the way I have not problem in doing. But I regret to say that I do not think that father would thank me making a enemy kingdom," Elena said this rather fast not even pausing to breath.

"Why is this My Lady?" said Katie regretting to have asked already.

"Well lets just say... that because I have the ability to do more magic than most. The king believed me to be very powerful. So whilst I was vulnerable he decided that he would declare to his kingdom that he was engaged," Elena smirked as she saw King Victor flush and Katie's face redden with anger.

"You did what?" hissed Katie angrily slowly unsheathing her sword.

"I did not realise that she was a princess at that time," he said licking his lips as the sword tip touched his forehead lightly.

"Enough Katie," cried Elena as Katie brought the sword down to claim her kill. Elena's heart thudded as Katie ignored her. Elena clicked her fingers and Katie's sword handle burned bright red. Katie yelped in pain. King Victor turned to look at Elena only to find her on the floor unconscious after still not being recovered from her last use of magic.

"Foolish girl," he muttered under his breath as he picked her up and carried her to her chambers. He laid her on the bed and slipped her under the covers. The king paused and looked down on her face. He smoothed the hair away from her forehead and bent down to kiss it. "Thank you," whispered Victor as he walked out the room.
