   Finally out of the kingdom, you both walk to the village.

  "So, how exactly did you end up a maid for the Red King?" Fredrick questions and you sigh, looking down. "I got lost and asked for help. Instead of helping me, he offered me something I couldn't turn down... If I became his maid, he'd protect my village." "Oh. The king truly cares for you then... He must really see something in you." "I guess..." You sigh, really not liking Wilfred at all.

  "How far is my village, exactly?" You look at him. "Hm..." He thinks for a bit then smiles, "Not that far, actually; so don't worry."

  You both calmly and quietly continue walking to the village, suddenly hearing the loud roaring of dragons. You both look up, seeing armored dragons flying above, heading the same direction.

  "Hm, they practice dragon riding at night?" Fredrick frowns, wondering why they were heading in the direction of your village. "Maybe." You shrug, not really caring.

  "Finally..." You stare at your beautiful village.

  It hasn't changed a bit since you left...

  You both walk to the entrance only to be stopped by one of the guards riding a dragon. "Y/n L/n, you are to be sent back to the Red Kingdom immediately. As for you..." The guard glares coldly at Fredrick. "For kidnapping the king's precious little maid, you are sentenced to death by the king himself."

  "W-what?!" You glare at the guard. "My friend here is innocent! I left willingly on my own! He was only helping me so I can see my village!!" "Yet you had no thought of telling the king?!" The guard yells in anger, hoping off his dragon and stomping over to you. "You blind fool, you're getting innocent people KILLED for your fucking mistakes!!" 

  You quietly stare at the angry guard. "I'm sorry..." "I don't want to hear it... You stupid bitch..." He looks down. "Why does the king care so much for someone like you...?" "I get that a lot. And honestly, I don't know." You sigh, folding your arms. "As much as I'd like to leave, he won't let me, so-" "Just give in to him so nobody else gets hurt!" "Give in? Sorry, but I give in to nobody." You growl. 

  "Please!" The man starts to cry. "My best friend lost his family, almost his life because of you!! Can't you see, you're hurting others?! You're better off dead, but the king would lose his head if you were gone so just give him what he wants, please!! Save the future people from your troubles... Please..."

  You watch as the begging guard dropped to his knees with his head hanging low. "Do it for the others..." "So basically be a puppet for the king so everyone else could be happy? But what about me?" You frown. "There has to be another way!" "There isn't! The king ALWAYS gets what he wants!" "Well, not today." You walk past the guard and enter your village, smiling a little. 

  Everyone was definitely asleep by now but when they woke up, you were definitely going to give everyone a big hug- "A-ah!" You scream when large claws grab onto you, lifting you up from the ground. You look up, seeing the guard's dragon. "Send them home, Beast." The guard frowns and the dragon grabs Fredrick too, flying away.

  On the way home, you start to cry. Fredrick looks at you and frowns sadly. 'You were so close, Y/n... I'm sorry it had to be this way...'

  The dragon drops you both at the castle's entrance and two other guards grab you both, dragging you into the castle and to Wilfred who was angrily and impatiently sitting on his throne, waiting for your return.

  He smiles when he finally sees you. "Y/n, my princess!" He gets up and rushes over to you. "You're home..." He tries to hug you but you shove him away. "No, Wilfred! This ISN'T my home! It never will be!" 

  The guards, with wide eyes, quickly leave, not wanting to see another angry Wilfred moment.

  Wilfred's right eye twitches as he hears what you said. After all that has happened tonight, this has definitely pushed him past his limit. "Oh? So, you live outside, hm?" "No, but I'll never call this place home! Ever!" You clench your fists. "And what's this about killing Fredrick?! He never kidnapped me, I left willingly!!" 

  The king keeps silence for a moment until he suddenly bursts into laughter. You stare at him then look at Fredrick. He does the same back, confused as well.

  "You actually think I care at this point, Y/n??" He suddenly questions and you look at him. "What?" "You heard me." He walks over to you, an annoyed expression on his face. "You think I cared when I killed that man's family? Hell no." He moves closer to your face. "And I definitely won't care if I have to kill some stupid rich kid because he thought taking what's mine was a good idea..." "I am NOT yours, you stupid royal pain in my ass!" 

  Angry,  Wilfred forcefully grabs your face. "Your home is anywhere I am..." He whispers, getting dangerously close to your face. You try to move away and remove his hand but he was stronger than you, but your attempts to escape him caused him to tighten his grip. You start to cry, "O-ow, you're hurting me!"

  "Hey!" Fredrick finally steps in. "King, you shouldn't hurt someone you care for!" "She deserves to be punished again... She just never learns..." Wilfred lets go of you, grabbing Fredrick by the neck. "You... You're gonna be her punishment. Y/n," He pulls out a dagger and hands it to you. "Kill him." Your eyes widen in shock. "W-what...?" "You heard me..." Wilfred growls, tightening his grip on Fredrick's neck.

  Fredrick scratches at Wilfred's hand, trying to get free so he was able to breathe but he couldn't do it. 

  "I-I..." You look at Fredrick, seeing he was scared. You frown and look at the dagger, tightening your grip on it. "I hate you, King..." "It's Wilfred-" "ENOUGH!" You scream and stab his arm. He screams in pain and drops Fredrick, grabbing the dagger to pull it out of his arm.

  You grab Fredrick and start to run with him while he tried catching his breath. "Y-you're crazy!" Fredrick yells and you nod your head. "Hell yeah, but right now we gotta go, not talk about how crazy I am!"

  "Fuck..." Wilfred sighs, staring at his wound that was bleeding. 

  When you both left, he got his guards to chase after you both while they made him stay to bandage up his wound but he wouldn't stay here! This time he was going after you. After all, this is your home you're running away from... He needs to get you back before you get hurt...

  "If only she understood I was trying to keep her safe..." Wilfred sighs, annoyed. "She's too difficult..."
