"Corrine!" The king shouted over the noise of the attack of the castle. "Take the children, get them out of here-"
"How I don't understand, Philippe-"Corrine held her children's hands tightly her sword bouncing against her leg.
"Black. Viktor Black, he escaped Jewelina and freed my cousin. We are not safe, the children will be killed. Take them, take them somewhere safe, only return if you can now go my darling." Louis kissed his wife sweetly on the lips, not knowing when he would see the former musketeer again.
Viveca screamed for her husband, Renee held Aramina back from attacking the archduke who was saying France should request help from Jewelina.
"There fighting their own war, they don't have the resourced to help you baboon." Aramina hissed.
The queen didn't argue, tears ran down her face, Louis wiped them away and off she went, running out of the walls of the palace. Treville was waiting for her and the children, the old wise man's eyes were sad. He knew Corrine would not leave Louis to fight alone; Treville an old man by now would be going with the young prince and princess.
"Lorraine," Corrine kneeled before her 5 year old daughter. "Look after your brother, promise me, Jonathon needs you."
"I will mama," Lorraine said sternly, she was so much like her mother, which scared Corrine more than any-one would know, her temper got her in to trouble and the queen prayed that Lorraine would not be cursed as she had, with her stubbornness and sacrifices.
Renee's, Aramina's and Viveca's children were already sent ahead to the safe place. Lorraine and Jonathon were the last because everyone thought they had gone already.
"Good girl, Mama and Daddy love you so much, remember that, we may not see each other for a long time, don't forget us." Corrine smiled sadly, stoking her son's head she stood up and hugged the old captain. "Don't die, protect them." She whispered.
"I will, we must go before they notice half the royal family is missing and send a search party and…"
"Hey you stop!" A rebel had spotted them, Treville silently nodded his head and scooped Jonathon into his arms and held the princess' hand and ran leaving the queen to defend them.
Corrine pulled her sword out of its holder and raised it, a rebel stepped forward and raised his one blade, "Come in peace and you will be unharmed." He said Corrine knew he was lying; she had to fight as long as she could to give her children a head start.
"I don't believe you." With that she flung herself at the man, stabbing him in the chest and proceeding to do the same to his friends, and then everything went black.
~*Capture the Crown*~
Seven weeks. Seven weeks it took to arrive on the palace steps, Treville was tired but thrilled that he had achieved his goal. Lorraine held her brother as Treville knocked forcefully on the door.
Arthur opened it; he held a dagger to Treville's throat but lowered it when he recognized the captain's face. "Dang it, Treville you shouldn't have come its dangerous, come in, quickly now."
"Where's Corrine?" Sara demanded, her year old son sleeping in her arms. Her youngest son looked like his father with brown hair and blue eyes.
Treville looked away sadly, "She stayed behind."
A sob escaped Sara's throat, Amelia and the other rescued children went to great the newly arrived prince and princess. The crowned Prince George hugged Lorraine, telling her everything would be okay.
"Queen Seraphina, is everything ready?" Treville asked. Arthur and Seraphina were crowned the king and queen of Jewelina only a few short months ago before Philippe's and Black's escape, the former rulers wanted to spend their golden years with their grandchildren. Corrine, Louis and their children attended as did the female musketeers.
"Yes, if we are under attack- which we surely will- Chris and David will take the children and leave the country." Arthur rubbed her back, soothingly kissing his sons head. "If this over-throwing does happen I will never see my children grow up. Carlos will never know his mum and dad."
"Sara… Carlos will live. As will his brother and sister, our children will survive and will come home and save our country." Arthur kissed his wife's hair, reassuring her a little.

Two Months Later.
"Run, Amy don't look back. Don't look back, keep running!" Chris shouted Sara was beside him tears falling. There soon came in to a clearing.
Seraphina cradled Carlos to her chest giving him a final kiss on his nose. "Children, do whatever Chris and David tell you. Do you understand they are your only chance so listen to them? Your parents love you. Now go."
Chris took Carlos from the blonde, hugging her with one arm; she kissed his cheek and did the same with David. "George, Look after you brother and sister." Her blonde son nodded and held his sisters hand.
"Come with us," David suggested.
"I can't… Arthur I can't leave him and I will only lead them to you, if I stay behind they can't get to you. 'A mother's love is the strongest weapon'." She breathed deeply and kissed each of her children and then without saying a word ran in the opposite direction leading any followers away from the children and their guardians.
~*Capture the Crown*~
"Arthur, your wife has abandoned you. You children are being hunted down, and here you are chained and kneeling before your new king. I know that Philippe is doing the same in France but Corrine didn't leave Louis." Viktor laughed, Arthur scowled.
"But she didn't, did she? How do I know? You ask because we've found her-"
Seraphina was pushed into the throne room, she had a cut lip and a black eye but to Arthur she was still beautiful. "Arthur." She breathed a smile on her face; he rushed towards her even if he was chained he kissed her, gently.
"Sara." His eyes were pleading, did they get away? The queen gave a slight nod.
"Young love, so sweet. Pull them to their feet, kill the wife." Viktor said casually.
"What!" Arthur was restrained as Viktor held a knife to the young queen's throat, much to his surprise she didn't flinch but smirked.
"Kill me, you monster but I know my children are safe, kill me but at least my babies will be safe."
"On second thought-"He dropped his arm, dagger falling to the floor. Instead he grabbed the queen by the throat.
"Don't you touch my wife, you disgust me." Arthur snapped but Black only chuckled and squeezed her throat.
"Ah, yes a mother's love," He continued as if Arthur hated spoken "Is truly a dangerous weapon. A mother will kill, torture and die for her children's safety, but remember these words I will thing them and kill them before your eyes."
Arthur and Sara struggled out of the throne room and into the dungeon leaving Viktor alone.
"Find those children and kill them. They are now the heirs and the only thing in my way from ruling this kingdom.
~*Capture the Crown*~
"Where are the children?" Philippe demanded Louis smirked. "Tell me!"
"Dear cousin, must we play these games. My wife is safe as are my children. I will never tell you even if you tortured me."
"Foolish man, your children may be safe but Blondie, not so much so." On cue Queen Corrine was dragged into the throne room just like her counterpart in Jewelina. Louis whipped his head to gaze at his wife. She was unharmed apart from a cut that ran down her forehead to her chin. She gave a quick nob before the ex-rulers looked upon their conqueror.
"I should have killed you all those years ago." Corrine spat.
Philippe ordered them to be taken away and placed in separate cells, far away from each other. He then sent a rebel to send a message to his ally Viktor in Jewelina.
Princess Lorraine and Crown Prince Jonathon are in your country. We believe they are with Crown Prince George, Princess Amelia and Prince Carlos of Jewelina and those medalling lady in waiting children. Kill them or all our plans will be ruined. They can retake our crown. Capturing it, and redeeming themselves in the people's eyes.
