The Knight And The Prince

Chaper Eleven

"No!" Father yells storming to the front. He grabs Roman by the neck and throws him to the ground. "Guards! Kill him!" He yells pointing at Roman hatred burning in his eyes.

The guards start moving in on Roman. "No!" I screamed running towards Roman. I get pushed away and I fall to the ground. I try to run back and a guard holds me back. "Let me go!" I say trying to pull away.

"Stand down Prince Virgil," The guards say. They grab Roman and start pulling him away.

"Leave him alone! Let him go!" I scream tears streaming down my face. I look around to see Patton, Sage, and Abigail held back, them trying to intervene. I keep trying to get away from there arms and they put their arm over my mouth. I bite his arm and he yelps in pain releasing me.

I start running to where Roman was dragged off to. "Virgil! Get him, take him to the cells!" Father yells at the guards, they run after me and grab me and drag me to the cells. They throw me in and I see a man that looks like he's unconscious.

I get off the ground and dust off my trousers. I start pacing back and forth. I just want to know where Roman is I want to know if he's okay. I want to know if he's dead. I fall to the ground thinking he's dead. "Virgil?" I hear a raspy voice say. I look over to the once unconscious man. "Virgil!" He says slightly happier.

I don't know who it is at first until he slowly sits up. "Roman!" I say running up to him. I jump into his lap and give him a kiss. He doesn't kiss back at first but he then starts kissing back. A few moments later we pull back to catch our breath. "You look terrible." I chuckle.

"Thanks," He says and he starts pouting. I laugh and kiss him again, he eagerly kisses back.

"Of course," I say pulling away. "What are we going to do?"

His smile disappears. "They're going to hang me tomorrow," He says looking away. "I'll miss you."

"Stop, I'm not letting you go. I love you, I can't live without you!" I say wrapping my arms around his neck.

The next day I get woken up by guards screaming at Roman to get up. "Get up maggot!" They yell pulling him off his feet.

"Hey! Let him go!" I scream jumping to my feet. "I order you to stop I'm the prince!" I screamed running towards them.

"Sorry Prince but the king has ordered this," He says locking me in. I bang on the door screaming at them to release me and let him go.

I run around the cell looking in every inch trying to find a way out. I hear footsteps coming to my cell. It was Abigail. "Hey, Virgil," She says smiling at me.

"Abigail! Help?" I ask running to the cell door.

She pulls out the keys and unlocks the door. "Get your ass out here we got to save Roman," She says giving me an outfit so I could blend in. I quickly change and we run out. "Wait," We stop before we get outside and she grabs a dagger she grabs my hair and cuts my hair.

We run to the centre of Pangeran. I see a heartbreaking sight. My dad at the top of the rig with guards on the side holding Roman with a black bag over his head. I whimper and Abigail looks at me worried. She grabs my hand and we slowly make it to the front. She gives me a dagger and points to the left side. I nod and run around. I yell for the guards to come. They look at me and run towards me. I swiftly move to the side like Roman's taught me and slits ones throat then stab the other in the gut. My father doesn't seem to notice because he is talking to the townsfolk. I walk to Roman and pull the bag off his head. I quickly give him a kiss and untie him. I tell him to run to the back to meet Abigail. I run onto the rig and face my dad. "Virgil? What're you doing here?!" He yells at me angerly.

"I'm here to end you!" I yell at him in a fighting stance.

"Guards!" He yells but no one comes. "Guards!" He yells again. I smile realizing I killed the only two he had on hand because the rest were either on Roman's side or watching the prisoners.

I run towards my dad and slide under his legs. I jump up behind him and I stab him in the back. "I love you, Father," I say pulling the dagger out.
