"Mother, I must leave for the country."
"What about Issac?"
"He's coming too, it's not safe with him here." Her family looking frantic and worried.I just need to get away for a while, don't worry the Prince knows what I'm doing and besides he needs to fix this between him and the Princess." Just then a knock comes to the door,
Knock Knock, Knock
Everyone freezes and then the knock continues.
KNOCK
KNOCK
KNOCK
Lady Elizabeth sits in a chair by the fireplace while Lord Mason goes to the door. He looks through the slot where a peephole is.
"Lord Mason, I have been commanded to bring Lady Belle and her son, Issac, to court." He opens the door. "The Queen has requested that you and your son come to court. The Princess wants to see you off before she sends you away."
"But she can not do that she is not Queen nor the King, I will come to court, but she will not send me away."
"But sister, do you think its wise to go against the Royal Court?" Her brother Drew says.
"The King and Prince know of my plans and they will honor them. I just have to do my part."

Prince Daniel's P.O.V.
In The Kings Office
"Father?"
"Yes, come in son. What is wrong?"
"The Princess is doing something to your food. She has someone in the kitchen supplying the poison in your food." The King stands in shock and then steps towards his window.
"Another thing, Belle is leaving for the country as soon as possible, she believes its safer for her and Issace and I do too. The Princess has threatened her and my son and The Queen will do anything for me to honor my marriage with The princess, I think she will try to harm him. So I have been forced to act as if I hate Belle just to please Mother and The Princess so that they can forget about her and Issac, just until we find out what is really going on."
"Ok son, anything to help, but if your Mother is involved then she will have to answer to her crimes."
"Yes, Father." Just then a guard comes up
"The Queen and the Princess has requested the presence of the King, Prince and Lady Belle along with her son to appear in court." The guard leaves followed by the King and the Prince.
***********************************************************************************************
"May I present Lady Belle and Young Issac." She curtsies.
"Lady Belle, I am glad you could come to witness my son cutting ties with you and your bastard child." The King and Prince look at the Queen with disgust and the Princess seems pleased.
"There is no need Your Highness, the Prince and I have already made that clear earlier today." She says this with a little venom to her voice. The Prince stands.
"Lady Belle, you have brought shame on your family by having a son out of wedlock, what do you have to say about this?"
"Nothing, my family isn't ashamed, so why should I. Besides they accept my son and that's all that matters." The King speaks uncomfortably.
"Lady Belle didn't you always want a life in the country with you and your child? Well, I am sending you away for some time to think about what to do next. You shall leave by tomorrow's noon feast." Lady Belle leaves.
Later that night
"Who is it?"
"Belle, it is me and the King." She opens her door, Daniel and Belle hug and kiss, the King then goes to his grandson and holds him close.
"I am going to miss you both, promise to write us every day." Belle has tears in her eyes.
"I will.
"And I promise everything will be solved in time. The next time I see you we shall make wedding plans."
"I will miss you every day, every night and every second!" They hug and the King steps out to go feed Issac leaving Daniel and Belle alone in the room. Daniel kisses Belle like its the last time he will see her again, but he knows one day they will be reunited.

8 years later
"Issac slow down!!!"
"Come on Mother!!!" They stop under a tree to catch their breath.
"Mother, tell me again about Father."
"Your Father is a handsome man, you take after him. You two are just alike, I remember when you were born he jumped for joy, never took his eyes off you. He loves fishing and fencing as well as making you laugh, he loves you and so does the King, but not the queen and the Princess."
"Why the grandmother dislike me?"
"It is not you she doesn't like. She doesn't like me. You see your Mother is not of noble birth, meaning I am not from a rich family, but we are happy, well we were until your grandmother drugged your Father and married him to that worthless girl."
"You mean the Princess?"
"Yes, your Father sent us away for your protection, he is afraid that the Queen and Princess will plot to kill you." Just then a lady comes running up the hill."
"Lady Belle, Young Issac, terrible news." She stops to catch her breath. "The King is gravely ill and has requested that you come to court."
"Mother, are you afraid?"
"No, I am ready for whatever comes our way, you are my son and future King to Brashsim." She hands them a letter as well Belle reads it.
'My dearest Belle, it pains me to say this, but we were right my Mother is plotting to kill my father, she has been having an affair with Amber's Father and she has promised him the kingdom if she can kill my Father with the help of the Princess. I pray that you and Issace are well, I want to make you my wife with you arrive here. Issac deserves a Mother and a Father. Love you always, Prince Daniel.
"Come along Issac we must pack."
