Mark's Point of View

"Yes Mr. President." I ended the video call and my Dad rested his hand on my shoulder.

I had just gotten off the video call with the president. We were to arrest the royal family and carry them to the United States of America with us.

I had showed him the video footage I had collected of Credo Astraba leaving the bedroom of the Princess last night, along with when he left the King and Queen's bedroom on both occasions of him sleeping with them.

I had bugged all bedrooms with voice recorders. Queen Alyana thought she was smart but technology was smarter. I had her on recordings speaking to her daughter about tricking me into marrying her as well as her and Astraba speaking about how they had set up Mina.

Turns out the Queen had been smuggling the objects in the palace that were worth something and selling it when she went to visit her 'mother'. In all honesty her mother died years ago. She was sneaking out to meet Astraba on rare occasions while trying to keep the rich life for herself.

The King was broke and so was his palace. They had no more money.

I had bought the palace two days ago and had the documents with me right now to prove it.

The King wanted a bond to be formed between his country and America so he could pump money into his country and his pockets. King Adabe was a fool though.

He had tried to have sex with a maid by the name of Annabelle against her will. She worked with Mina during breakfast, lunch and sometimes dinner. She had ran out his room five days ago and had not returned. The King has chased her to his door butt naked where he was caught on camera.

It took me two days to track her down and get a confession on recording which was also played to the president. Turns out the King forced young maids to have sex with him in order to keep there jobs after three years.

A few others maids also gave statements on recording. A guard had also called me aside a day ago. His name was Mohair Straba. He came forward with all the secrets of the castle. He spoke up about the Princess sleeping with Credo the night when the queen took some of objects in the castle to sell.

Credo had ran out the Princess's bedroom and sent a guard by the name Amiol to the room telling him the Princess was in danger. When he got there the Princess tried seducing him. Shoving her off him, she screamed and claimed Amoil was trying to rape her. Mohair was honest in saying Credo was not the only guard having sex with the Princess. He got two more to confess to actually having sex with her.

So Credo was the one who took the Princess's innocence. Meaning I got out of their little marriage scam plus the recording was a bonus.

While this whole investigation was going on the royal family was too caught up in there daughter marrying me to actually be on the look out for anything foiling there plans.

My brothers, dad, Charlie and my privates had all just flew under half an hour ago. The entire kingdom would be at the execution so the entire palace was unguarded.

They easily infiltrated and a few minutes ago my dad gave them the go ahead.

By now they should be wrapping up and I would be able to hold my Little Light once more.
