    Soon the early morning turned to mid noon as you rode around the capital.
    You took a break and stopped at the Tavern. 
    "Hello, kid." 
    You looked up to see Drew. She sat down next to you as she passed you a drink. 
    "Hey," You said.
    "What's with the dull look?" She inquired.
    "Life." 
    "Life?" She raised a perfect eyebrow. 
    "Yeah...." You hesitated before asking her. "You know most things about things happening in the Underground, right?" 
    "Force of habit. People talk. It's not my fault that I listen in."
    "So what do you know about this?" You pulled out the symbol. "Has anybody walked in with this?"
    Drew looked at the drawing of the symbol. "Hmmm." She put a finger to her lips. "When I think of it....A few nights back. A rather handsome fellow walked in here. I remember serving him drinks and saw that exact symbol around his neck. Another mate of his came around and I was shooed away. Rude if you ask me. Anyways, I didn't mean to listen in but I swear to Queen Rose that they were talking about a man named Alec."
    You froze. "As in the Alec? The Duke Alec Monteres?"
    "Yup. The very one," Drew said. She looked around before whispering, "He's alive." 
    "How?"
    "No clue." Drew shrugged.
    "I need to go," You got up and grabbed your bag. "Thanks, Drew." You handed her a tip.
    "Anytime." She said as she stuffed the money in her corset.
    Outside, your horse was tied up and munching on some carrots. "Time to go, girl." You mounted the saddle. 
    You kicked your horse into full gallop as you raced to the city. If he was alive and was after your sister then there were far more worse things to come.

      
    "I hope you're glad with your engagement, Arthur." King Gerald said.
    "Ah yes. The engagement." Arthur said as he felt the depression sneak up on him again. "Wonderful," he said in a monotone.
    King Gerald laughed as he patted Arthurs back. 
    "It can't be that bad," the King said. "Love will grow over time, my son."
    "I'm just not ready for this."
    "You'll be King when your twenty. You're twenty. You'll have to find a wife before your twenty one." 
     King Gerald walked with Arthur through the place gardens. The songbirds tweeted and the afternoon sun shone down upon them. 
     "I need to meet her first," Arthur sighed. "I don't even know what kingdom she's from!"
     "It's politics."
     "I'll have to agree with that." 
     "Your highness!" The royal advisor in his robes ran out. His double chin dripping with sweat. He stopped when he saw Arthur. "Ah! Prince Arthur!" He bowed before turning to the king. "We have a problem." He said cryptically. 
     "What?" The king raised an eyebrow. 
     "That problem." The advisor nodded. 
     "Ah." The king felt his blood pressure go up. This was not good.  "Yes. That." He turned to Arthur. "I'm afraid I'll have to take my leave today." He walked away with the advisor whispering underneath their breaths. 
     Arthur kept walking through the gardens. He found a gazebo hidden away in the shrubs where he sat down. There was small table and two chairs within. Arthur sat down and put his head in his hands.
    What was he going to do? His parents had pressured him to marry and he had to repay a debt to the Kingdom of Hiella. 
    He was thinking so much he didn't even notice then shrubs beginning to grow and move. The shuffling if the leaves caught his attention and soon a ball of fire formed in his hand aimed at the shrubs. 
    The shrubs gave way and out tumbled out you. You landed with a thud. Your jacket a mess and your hair wind blown. "Hey, Artie." 
    "You idiot. I nearly could have killed you." Arthur helped you get up. "You're a mess." He pulled a twig out of your hair. 
    "We have a problem."
    "We've been having a quite but of those." 
    "Anyways." You sat down across from him. "Do you know Duke Alec Monteres?" You asked him. 
    "Yes. the famous dark Mage that killed-" he stopped. "Yes." He said again. 
    "He's alive." You said. 
    "What?!" Arthur blurted out. 
    "And he's the one who's going to kill my sister." 
    "We need to find Lukas!" He pulled out a spell book. 
    "What are you doing? If you use magic here, you're dead." You hissed out. 
    "Pish, posh. It's a quick transportation spell." He started to chant the spell. Tendrils of fire enveloped the both of you. You held your breathe and moved closer to Arthur. The fire seemed to be closing around the both of you. 
    You flinched. "Hold on." He said into your ear. Your fingers curled around the sleeve of his jacket and buried your face in his back. 
     There was a bright flash of light and you felt your ears pop as the pressure increased. Your (h/c) hair fell out of your braid and swirled around you. Arthur seemed to be fine but you were unfamiliar with this. Lukas would use a transportation stone. That was more smoother but it took a while. 
     You felt your feet touch the ground again. "Is it over?" Your eyes were still closed. 
     "Yes, Princess. We are here." 
     You stepped away from him and into the crowded streets of the Black Market. 
     "C'mon!" You grabbed his hand and tugged him forward. Arthur protested but you ignored him. 
     Vlad's shop appeared, tucked away and ready for customers. 
     "Vlad!" You bursted through the door. Vlad who was trying to dust off the shelves fell off his stool. 
    "Hello, draga." He rubbed his sore butt before getting up to greet you.
    "Where's Lukas?!" You grabbed him by his scarf and asked in a paniced tone.
    "Mr. Too-Uptight? Oh," Vlad put a finger to his lips. "I think he's in the back looking for a charm." You rushed past the Vampire and into the storage room.
    "Well," Vlad dusted himslef off. "Somebody's in a hurry." He turned to the Prince who inspected a jar of fairy wings. "Besides that, I've hear that you've gat an arranged marriage." 
    "Please do not remind me."
    "You'll have to settle one day, Prince."
    Arthur grimaced even more.

    
     
    
Enjoy. It's short I know but...eh...I'll get another one in soon.
