I stared at him in shock and he began to unlock the cell door.

"I don't fucking think so." I laughed getting up off the bed.

The man walked into the room guns pointed at me from people behind him as he held onto a piece of rope.

He grabbed onto my arms and I struggled as I tried to get away from him. Eventually, I was pushed onto the bed so he used that chance to tie up my arms.

I groaned in defeat and was taken out of the room to my execution.

As we walked down the hallway of cells I stared into them. There were some corpses decaying well some people stayed in the cell. They looked very weak so I guess it wasn't too bad that I was dying. It sure beats waiting to die in a cell.

I sighed and they dragged me up some stairs that led to an opening. The doors were opened and as we stepped out we stepped onto a stage. There were many people gathered around but there were other also on the stage. They were tied with rope and a rope held their ankles so they couldn't escape.

I was thrown to the ground and they tied a rope on my ankle digging it into my skin as they tied it up to a pole.

I stared down at the wooden stage and looked up at the audience. Everyone was silent no one showed any type of emotion well others stood there trying to hold themselves together.

I looked behind me. People were preparing something. Someone brought out a silver gun in an open box well the other brought out a crown.

I felt my heart start to pound a bit as music began to play. This music was welcoming music the kind they'd use to welcome a king.

I groaned annoyed and wiped my head over to notice Laurence heading
this way. The people with the gun and crown approached him. They both took a knee and he picked up the crown. He placed the crown upon his head and soon after he took the crown he took the gun.

I gulped nervously and looked around me. There were 3 other people on the stage all tied down the same way.

I looked back at Laurence and he stepped onto the stage. He stared at each of us one at a time and when he finally stopped at me he gave a small smile.

He began to place the bullets in the gun. Four bullets four people. He turned back to the first person and pointed the gun at them.

One shot.

Two shots.

Three shots.

He shot each and every one of them. Our eyes locked for a moment and he put his gun back in his holster.

He had four shots.

But he only took three.

The people around me stood there shocked.

"The King let an outsider live!"

I looked into the eyes of the King and his emotionless face looked back at me.

"Bring her to my room."

I stood up from the wooden stage and clicked the chip on my neck.

"No way in hell." I began to try and float up and luckily the rope was long enough so I could get higher up then they could reach.

They looked at me confused and I stuck my tongue out.

"How annoying..." I heard Laurence mumble.

I felt an arm grab my shoulder and I looked beside me. Laurence was now floating in the air. He used a knife to cut the rope on my ankle and held onto the ropes that tied my wrists.

I growled at him and he rolled his eyes before he began to fly towards the castle.

▪~~~~~♤~~~~~▪

Once we arrived at the castle he locked me up in a bedroom with him and threw me onto the bed.

"La-Laurence.." I mumbled.

He approached me and ripped the ropes from my arms. I sighed in relief and sat up rubbing my wrists.

"Ouch.."

He got up from the bed and walked over to the window.

"You have some explaining to do," I growled getting up from the bed.

I walked over towards him and grabbed onto his shirt.

"I'm sorry I lied..." He mumbled.

"Sorry?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"It was for your own good!" He yelled.

"How was it for my own damn good huh?!" I yelled back.

"Because if I told you they'd manipulate you in your time of confusion!" He shouted.

"Just like you are right now!" I replied.

"Aphmau! Do you want to know the truth??"

"Yes!!" I yelled stopping in front of him.

"Fine."

He took in a deep breath and then stared down at me.

"Aaron is my brother. He and I once were good friends with your father. Your father never had any children at the time so we were the ones he'd look after. One day he had a child which was you and after that happened Aaron realized he no longer is able to control the country. So he waited until you became older made you fall for him when you were young and once he got the country he used drugs and different things to make you forget. It wasn't just because of your father having a child it was also my fault..." Laurence was on the verge of tears now and I stared up at him in shock.

I grabbed onto Laurence's arm shyly and he stared at me. I wiped the tears from his eyes and felt some appear in the corners of mine as well. I brought Laurence in for a hug and I could feel him shaking.

"I'm sorry I never knew how hard this was for you..." I replied getting even closer to him.

I looked up at Laurence and he put a hand on my check. I slowly closed my eyes and he began to close his as well.

As I was about to lean in for the kiss the door to the room slammed open.

"Dadddd I'm hungryyy!" Alina whined.

I opened my eyes and slowly turned over to look at the small girl.

"Uh..." She stood there staring at us awkwardly and slowly backed away.

"Ha ha ha... don't mind me..."
