"Shoot him!" she screamed "But he's your betrothed." yelled the guard with the gun. "SHOOT HIM NOW!!!" cried the princess. "But without him you can not receive the crown." yelled the guard in a quicker pace of voice. "I will receive the crown without him now shoot him!" So the guards shoot him right through his heart.
When you ask the queen about it now she does not remember, and it's not because she is old and her memory is fading. Oh no. It's because she choose to forget. That night when the betrothed was shot, they had a huge fight about life together. He cut her so deep that she went insane temporality. They were in a field behind the palace. She had four guards with her. He was sitting on a bench. She screamed. Her eyes where beet red. Her hair like medusa. He turned to look at her then ran in the other direction. That is when the orders flew.
You may be asking how I know all of this when the queen will tell no one. Well, I was there, as a servant girl. I was coming to give the betrothed a horse. He was leaving for a few days; which was what they were talking about, in the beginning, before the fight. I hid through all of this so, even the queen has no idea I was there.
There are some advantages to being a wallflower. When you never talk and always listen you gather knowledge that some can not understand, but no one knows you're that smart. You see I have never been aloud to talk, so I catch things that many others miss. I also am very observant and know the whole layout of the palace.
Sorry when you have not told anyone anything in ten years you tend to babble. Now where were we. Oh yes. The King to be arrived and told me to get him a horse that could out run light itself. I did as I was told no questions ask. Yes, of course, it seemed odd that he just showed up, and wanted to leave already, but I was forbidden to speak. I got the horse and took it to the entrance nearest the princess's cambers. I could hear yelling already. I tied the horse to a tree and took a secret passage into the palace. The passage led to a dead end with a picture of wolves howling at the new moon. If you move the picture there is a vent that goes straight into the princess's sitting room. You can see and hear most of what ever is going on in that room and her highness's bedroom.
There was a ton of shouting and shrieking. "You want to leave now but I have wedding decisions to make." shrieked the princess, "And I need you to help it is not a princess's place to decided music and seating arrangements." "I already told you I am not doing anything for this wedding. I don't even want to marry you." Shouted the betrothed, "I am only doing this for your father's sake." "How dare you even talk about the king in such a manner." the Princess yelled. I hope the guards had earplugs. "Look there is a horse waiting for me and I am leaving."
"Don't you dare walk out on me…" were the last words I heard. I had to be there waiting with the betrothed's horse.
