Where are you Gloria?

Scene 8: Where are you Gloria?

Felix brought Henry to the King, and not knowing where is daughter is, and considering Henry was the last person she was with, he locked him up only until they find his daughter. But now that Henry is unable to go out and find Gloria, he feels absolutely helpless.

Meanwhile Gloria is struggling to get free from the grip of being dragged across the woods floor, she was than brought down some steps, and was tied to a chair. she suddenly felt her blindfold being taken off, she looked straight ahead to see Roderick looking into her eyes,

"You thought running away would get you away from marrying me?..."

Gloria gives him a hard stair

"...I will become King and you will be my Queen."

Gloria didn't speak, she just looked down. Roderick slaps her across the face, and Gloria tries to keep her calm, and keeps looking away in the direction her head went when Roderick slapped her. Roderick gets closer to her face and says,

"When I speak to you, you answer me and look at me..."

Gloria still doesn't respond

"...GOT IT?"

Gloria turns to him, smiles and knees him in the gut, but she cant escape because she is tied down. Roderick regains himself, he goes up to her,

"You are going to stay down here, until you make the right choice, either you marry me, or you stay down here to die, and I will become King anyway, because I am the oldest Knight in the land..."

Roderick gets close to her face so they are both looking into each others eyes,

"...And I don't think a Princess as pretty as you wants to die, now does she?..."

Gloria just looks down, and Roderick begins to walk out when he turns around,

"...oh and don't even bother yelling for help, these walls are completely soundproof, have a nice day Princess Gloria." And he leaves her alone in his basement to his palace.

Back at the Castle the King is frantic, he sends out signs, and his Guards to find his precious daughter.

"Felix, any news about Gloria?"

"I'm sorry your highness, there is nothing"

"Felix, its been a week, we need to do something else, obviously by doing what we are doing, nothing is working"

"I understand your highness, we could ask the boy that she was with before she went missing, he might give us some answers"

"This is an idea, Bring him to me Felix."

"Right away your Majesty"

While the Castle was trying to find the Princess, Knight Roderick still had her in his basement. He would slap her around if she didn't answer him, which was frequently because she didn't want to talk to him. She had a black eye by now, she had cuts on her wrists due to the rope ting her to the chair, she was weak and she was skinnier than she was before due to the fact that Roderick was starving her, at least he gave her water to drink. The only thing making her thrive was her will to live, and not let Roderick become King, but she was slowly loosing her own game.

Henry was led out of his cell, he was brought to the throne room, and saw the King, he didn't look

angry, he looked more worried and upset than anything, so Henry knew nothing was going to happen to him, he just got himself into a mess, but he knew he wouldn't back down, he couldn't back down until they found Gloria, she was one of the only people he truly cared about. Living in a jail cell was really nothing to him, only because he had been pushed around before, he was the assistant to a Knight, he was the one that did everything around the palace, his family really didn't care about him so he went with what ever happened, happened. As he was put in front of the King, he got to his knees and bowed,
