"***Take the queen out of the castle".

"hurry!"

"Shelly, Lina, Hickery let's go we must take the children"

"they have entered the fort ,sire !!"

"haemanthus ,go with them and take care of them for me I trust you"

"But your majesty , I shall not leave your side .

I have sworn to protect you "

"Do as he says , it's his order and don't worry about him .He has got me ."

"But father....".

" Boy don't you have confidence in me

or are you looking down on me . I've been dealing with such matters long before you were born "

"Go now"

"father, I love you".

(haemanthus leaves)

"Dumbass you are really stubborn , always trying to steal my thunder."

"Asshole, are you insane ?Why'd you come here ? "

" My king is here where else should I be ? Isn't it obvious?Stop worrying over me.We're sworn brothers. I vowed to be the sword and shield for you after your coronation ceremony ?It's my duty to serve you till death .How come you thought that I could part ways so easily ?

It doesn't matter if you are the king .You cannot compell me to leave your side . So, don't you even try ? "Today for the last time let's walk this path together ,brother!"

(king sighed )

(Hugging him)" I don't have any regret if I die today as long as I m not alone . I've been blessed to have someone like you Zachan as , my brother."

(meanwhile)

"Archers.... aim..... fire....

Don't let them enter here.It's an ambush

take the princessess to the dungeon underground the East tower .Her majesty will be there too .We must hurry before it's too late. Pick them, you two Jimmy, here hold her she's the youngest. You two leave.I'll join you later with the rest ,now go."

(3 soldiers held the 6 younger babies in their arms moved towards the east wing with 6 other girls

following them and 3 other soldiers behind them to guard those girls untill they met the queen on their way and they together set off to the east )

"Where are the others ?"

"Don't worry your highness! Haemanthus might reach there before us. They are with him"

(Zachan's son! that's a relief but still my heart aches.I'm still troubled.I thought nothing could destroy my heaven)

"Your highness! Don't space out.Don't worry, we're with you .Let's get there first. Haemanthus will be waiting for us."

"hmm.."

meanwhile in royal suite

"Almanda wake up ...."( suddenly jumps off the bed )"something's not right ."

"What happened glo ? Why are you yelling in middle of the night ?"

"Thank goodness! you are awake too, Aster"

" What's with these noises? so much hustle .Are they partying, without us?

Adults ! They just put us to sleep and have fun alone . And we're called noisy brats!"

"Shhh...this is no joke Daff I think this is an ambush ... "

"Are you serious Al?"

"What? we are underattack. Are they sky monsters?."

"Sky monsters or not but they certainly are up to no good"

"They are no such things as monsters coming from sky you dummy.Quit day-dreaming . And be real for once, you two "

"oh! so you were awoke as well Dahlia! "

"I don't get it.How come she is still asleep like a log in such commotion ?" "Dahlia ,wake her up."

"Daisy, wake up or else you will be dead !"

"eh, what?" (suddenly falls out of bed)

sudden knocking on the door grabbed their attention.

"Al..Al open up..." Haemanthus cried.

Realising the situation Aster and Allmanda reaches the door and pulls him inside shutting the door .

As the boy explains their current situation and

asks them to grab their necessities as the palace is not safe for them anymore .

The kids tip- toe into the hallways and

knock down two intruders, robbing them off, ties them to a pillar. And manages to slip under the noses of their enemy .

Jimmy the fellow mate of Haemanthus passes the signal so that they could locate their position .

"Aster I' m scared ! Are we gonna die here ,today?? "(sobs)

Don't worry . We won't at least not today. Have faith . Nothing will happen to us ." Aster pacifies Gloxinia . "I wish I could say that ' bout' father ." (sighs)

Allmanda pat her on her shoulder . " Let just hope we overcome this ." "Hurry up . I've located Jim with your mother . It won't take long now. Run as fast as you can . Aster ,Al ..

make sure they don't fall behind." Haemanthus shouts at 'em picking little gloxinia over his shoulders.

" Daff..,daly...,dais.. hold our hands ."

a group of soldiers with two shevelled ones spots them.

"There they're ...seize 'em ."

We can't afford the royal family to escape .

although we' ve already blocked their escape routes . Is there any other secret path way out of the castle . We must anticipate their escape plan.(In deep thought )

" you guys!" pointing at the two men who informed them 'bout the princesses .

"Go . inform the general ' bout it ."

"Men follow me ."

"Mother...." (cries in unison )

"Girls 're you all alright." (hugs them)

(Thank goodness lassies 're fine .)sighs Hickery. " Your majesty . This might not be the right time for showerin your love. We must leave before we can ."

"Your highness. His majesty left me in charge. let's get to the dungeons before those

savages get here . "

" lead the way ...Haemanthus."

as they rushed through the narrowed tunnel

they start loosing their men one by one as they were being followed by the enemy general's men but those soldiers managed to half their enemy till their last breath. The remaining were dealt by Haemanthus himself after they reached the outskirts of Bougenville.

"Your highness , it's still not over yet we will never no what might be happening there .

Perhaps we might win but we should be prepared for the worst."

"I understand. I've decided though, what I have to do whether I like it or not . I got to do it .

This will be the most hardest decision I have ever made but for their safety, I have to endure it ,but for them to bear this burden as well. Won't be fair to them "

Listen well , all of you this might be my last order for you .But it's not just an order ,it's a request as well ."

"we cannot stay hidden altogether. So I want you to keep my darlings safe until the sky is clear. If everything goes in our favours than we'll return and if not I want you to keep them as your own daughters or family. teach them good values and the ways of society . And when they're of marriagable age let'em choose for themselves , make their own decisions . That is my only and last request to you. Don't dwell in the past you all must move on! if we happen to part ways forever."

" yes! your majesty we wont disappoint you."

(No matter what follows us next we must remember to live!!!!)
