Disclaimer: Once again I do not own Suikoden…and that sucks.

A/N: All right, sorry I am so late with this chapter. Yesterday I read my last chapter over again and realized that I did make many grammar, and spelling mistakes. So to fix this I will now write my chapter one day and then I will wait three days reading it over and over again each day to try and catch all my mistakes. I should have done this from the beginning but I got excited and just would write the chapter and then upload them with only reading them over once. I will be busy for the next few weeks so if I don't get a new chapter uploaded in a long time, I am trying but the end of the school year is crazy for me.

Also to note, that I will take any and all constructive criticism. Which leads me to thanking my reviewers TedIsMyHero and mr.Giggles. Ok on to the story.

Miakis and Kyle stood up as Frey left his chair flying to the enraged woman. They started to draw their weapons but there was no way they would be able to reach Frey before the knife did.

Frey didn't even have time to think, his reactions were what saved him. The woman began thrusting the knife at Frey; he would be dead soon if something didn't happen. He felt his left foot touch the ground. Frey instantly put all his weight on it, and spun to the left, using it as a pivot.

Frey managed to dodge the thrust, and when he came back around to face the woman. He grabbed her hand with the knife in it. He twisted her hand until she dropped the knife.

Her other hand which yanked Frey from his chair was still grasped onto his. He twisted his own hand until she lost her grip on his. When she did, Frey grabbed her hand, and then spun her around and pushed her to the floor with both her hands behind her back.

Miakis and Kyle both ran over to Frey with their weapons drawn. When they reached Frey, he was trying to restrain the woman on the ground. She was struggling, and was about to get away from Frey, until Kyle put his kanata at her throat. She instantly stopped struggling and laid still.

"It's a good thing you stopped when you did," Kyle said with a smirk, "you see, if you managed to break free from the prince, then you would run into an entire army, and I'm not too sure, but I think they might not just let you walk away."

"Guards!" Shouted Miakis. Two of the closer men, sheathed their weapons and ran over to the women. Frey got off her, and Kyle withdrew his sword. They picked her up and put both held her arms behind her back like any common criminal.

"Wow prince, you sure did a number on her," laughed Kyle, "why do you have body guards again?"

"This isn't a laughing matter Kyle," said Miakis who didn't find this funny at all, "the prince could have been seriously injured or worse."

"That's true, but the point is he wasn't."

Miakis gave him a stern look and was about to open her mouth if it wasn't for Frey interfering.

"Stop it both of you," Frey then turned to this army and shouted, "At ease everyone the threat is over."

The room was instantly filled with the sounds of scrapes, of weapons being sheathed.

"Don't worry prince she will be hanged as soon as we make this report to Sol-Falena," Miakis said while putting her daggers away.

Frey gave her a look and then asked, "Why does this woman deserve to die?"

Miakis completely confused just responded, "An attempted assassination is an automatic death sentence."

"Don't you think we should find her motives first," Asked Frey?

"We could but to be honest prince," answered Miakis, "Not everyone is going to like you, people have tried to kill you before, and since we have this many witnesses, she will never have a chance in a trial, and will probably be put to death instantly."

"Miakis you are a Queen's Knight correct?"

"Yes."

"Then you are able to analyze a person to a certain extend."

Frey began circling her. Miakis was still completely lost and had no idea why he was asking her these questions. She looked at Kyle to find his input on Frey's questions but he just shrugged and shook his head. Miakis frowned so he has no idea what Frey is doing either she thought

"Tell me Miakis how long does it look like this women has fought."

Turned and looked at the woman's face, who was just staring at Frey with the look of death in her eyes. "Umm…I would say probably never, based off her eyes it seems so has fought before, but the way she held the knife it seemed as though it was her first time."

"Good, good," Frey said while nodding his head "That's what I thought too"

"Now tell me why do you think she tried to assassinate me," asked Frey?

Miakis thought for a second, "It could be about anything, maybe she is mad that you won the war, maybe she just wants to cause mental harm to the princess. Maybe she just wanted to be known for something, or she could just be crazy," answered Miakis pretty satisfied with her self for coming up with many reasons backing her.

"Yes that all could be true," Frey then stopped looked at the Woman, then face Miakis and continued with another question, "Tell me does she look crazy to you?"

"Well honestly no, not really, but that wasn't really my main reason for her motives."

"Well its actually one of your best guesses,"

Miakis gave him a strange look and mouthed to him "are you joking."

"Why you ask, well here's what I think," Frey paused, looked around for a moment and then continued with his interrogation, "There are thousands of people her, not just people but soldiers, fully trained soldiers,"

Miakis still didn't know what his point was but just kept her mouth shut respectfully for she did not want to seem rude to the prince in front of everyone.

"Your list of her possible motives were good except for the fact that she could have easily hired someone to kill me, or she could have done it a better way by poisoning my food or something along those lines."

Frey began circling Miakis again. "So the question becomes why did she have to kill me herself instead of hiring some one to kill me?"

"She might have been to poor," Miakis blurted out, her patience started to run thin and she was starting to get a little annoyed.

"Yes that may be true which is why I said her being crazy was your best guess, if she was poor then why would she want me dead. The poor usually don't really know what's going on in the Government"

"I don't know" Miakis wasn't going to be able to take it any more. Get on with it already, just tell me what your point is, she thought to herself. Not only was this annoying her it was making her seem stupid in front of the entire army.

"Well she personally came in here, fully knowing that even if she killed me she would end up dead, she didn't try to do it secretly, or have someone else take the blame. Which means one of two things, A she is crazy and did it for no reason or B she wanted to kill me her self. She wanted to have the satisfaction of doing it herself. Now we both said she doesn't look crazy so that basically leaves B,"

"Yes your majesty," Miakis once again went to formalities. Not because she was embarrassed but because she was get angry at Frey and he seemed more like a prince now then a friend.

Frey walked over to the Woman and asked her what her name was.

"Why should I tell you," she responded.

"You don't have to but I would like to know," Frey had compassion back in his voice.

"It's Nora." She said quietly.

"Thank you, now Nora, tell me why do you want me dead, and why did you want to kill me yourself?"

She looked up at him "Do you really want to know?"

"Yes I would be in your debt if you could tell me."

Why is he being so nice to a person who just tried to kill me thought Miakis?

"Well its because…because," she took a pause as if gathering strength and then shouted, "Because it's your fault my husband and my only son are dead."

"Surly it's not the prince's fault," shouted someone in the crowd.

"Silence," shouted Frey.

The entire dining hall now fell silent.

"I lived with my family in Stormfist. When this war started my husband said he should enlist, because it was finally time he could help teach the royal family a lesson. My son was inspired by his bravery and decided to also enlist. They both left and were soon sent to help guard Doraat. Then I heard that the prince himself lead an attack against Doraat. I heard that the casualties were extremely high and I prayed that my husband and son were some of the survivors."

Nora began to cry, and everyone that was able to hear her or see her now felt pity. Everyone that wanted her dead, everyone that thought she was just another criminal trying to cause more damage to the royal family, now pitied the woman.

Frey turned to Miakis, and saw that she also now pitied Nora. He turned back to Nora and asked if there was more.

She nodded while wiping away her tears, and then continued, "A few weeks later I got a letter telling me the news I already knew, but for some reason, just reading made it a reality. I got depressed and I didn't know what to do anymore. They were the only reason I lived, the only reason I was alive, and they were just taken away."

"I'm sorry," Frey said.

"What are you sorry for, it's your fault!" Everyone around them was taken aback, Frey was being so kind and she still was being nasty to him. Frey only smiled.

"I didn't know what to do, I just lived day by day, trying to get on with my life but it was to late. There was nowhere to go, nothing I could do to get away from the pain. Then to make the situation worse you ended up winning the war. I was enraged; I couldn't believe all this was happening to me. I then felt that since my husband and son weren't able to accomplish their goal I would. I wanted you dead, but so did most people in Stormfist, they were just too afraid to do anything. I then decided I would try to request an audience with you, or just try to meet you in person. I wanted to kill you myself, in person."

Kyle leaned over to Miakis; "Someone had been hanging out with Oboro to much."

"Oh shut up," Miakis was angry, not just with the prince but with her self to. She jumped to conclusions and a Queen's Knight shouldn't do that.

Frey tried to make amends once again, "I am sorry, truly I am, I know what its like to lose people you love."

Nora looked up, "just kill me already, hopefully death is better then life,"

"I will not"

"What." Nora was shocked "why, I tried to kill you, why are you so sympathetic with me."

"Like I said I know what its like and I understand your reasoning completely." Frey then turned to Miakis and still talking in general said, "and hopefully other people have come to understand you too."

Miakis just turned away and pushed her way through the crowd that had gathered. She just wanted to get out of there.

Frey turned back to Nora, "You are free to go, and I hope you choose better decisions in the future."

"Ye-yes prince, thank you,"

The guards released Nora and she began walking away as if in a daze. She just couldn't believe it, how the prince that she hated, the prince she heard was evil, the enemy of her hometown, was just so kind to her.

Just as she reached the door she turned around. "Prince Freyjadour," she shouted, "I will not forget your kindness. I thought wrong about you, and I will tell my neighbors back in Stormfist what you have done today.

"Thank you that's very kind," Frey shouted back.

"But be warned, many people in Stormfist still dislike you. That goes for other towns as well. Please watch you back." She turned around and walked out the door.

Everyone in the dining hall waited until Nora left and then resumed their eating. Kyle walked up to Frey and put him in a headlock.

"Wow prince, since when were you a detective, figuring out that she was just a confused woman."

"Well, it just didn't add up."

Frey looked around the room where did she go he thought

"Um…Kyle, do you know where Miakis went?"

"Nope couldn't tell you she just left."

"I hope I didn't anger her,"

"Anger her, why did you do that,"

"Well I don't think I did, but I'm going to go look for her,"

"Oh," a big smile appeared on Kyle's face, "I get it prince, you go have fun now."

Frey was released from the headlock and he just ran out of the room only turning around once to see Kyle with a big smile and a big thumbs up. He shook his head, is that guy's head always in the gutter thought Frey, that doesn't matter where did she run off to. I didn't mean to upset her I was just trying to make a point. Hope she's not too mad.

Miakis was in her room, sitting on her bed. Why did he have to go through all that she thought why couldn't he just release her and tell me later? He didn't have to make me look like I was stupid.

She wasn't really that mad at him but she needed to take her anger out on something. She was more upset with the way she completely over looked the situation, she could have sentenced a good person who just made one mistake, to death. She couldn't believe it.

Then again she never was one to get that upset over one mistake. I mean the only one who did think twice was the prince.

Then it slowly began to hit her. Am I actually mad that the prince is out thinking me now? No it can't just be that. He has greatly improved in everything. He was able to fend off an assassination attempt by him self. I don't even know if my reactions are that fast. I can't really be jealous?

Miakis was deep in thought when a knock was heard from the door.

"Who is it," she asked?

"It's me Frey."

Miakis' tone instantly changed, "What do you want."

"I want to talk, I am afraid I upset you back there."

"Oh, you think." Why am I being so mean to him, it's not really his fault.

"I guess I really did upset you."

"What the great detective couldn't pick up that I was mad."

Frey was shocked. Is she that mad he thought? He put his back against the door and looked up at the ceiling. "Look Miakis I'm sorry if I upset you I wasn't trying to."

"Well you did, so just leave me alone."

Frey sighed, "Please let me in Miakis, so we can stop talking through a door."

A sentry came up to Frey, who was trying to negotiate his way into Miakis' room.

"Your Majesty you are need in the war room," the sentry informed him.

Frey put his head down and sighed again. Turning to the sentry "Is it important, or can it wait?"

"It's important, sire."

"Fine, tell them I will be there soon," Frey said as he pushed him self away from the door.

"Yes sire," the Sentry gave a salute and then jogged out of the hallway. Frey waited until he saw the sentry jog around the corner. Then just to make sure, he waited until he couldn't hear the sentry's armor clank, and then continued.

"Miakis we'll have to talk about this later."

"Don't bother," sneered Miakis.

Frey sighed again and then began walked towards the war room. He would have to deal with her later. She probably just needs to cool down anyway he thought. He turned the corner and the hallway was empty.

Miakis lied down on her bed, and put her face into her pillow. What am I going to do now?

All right I know that this chapter might have been slightly boring but hey there will be plenty of more chapters so it's not like your missing anything. The main point of this chapter was to show once again how the prince has changed and also start a little drama with Frey and Miakis. Also I tried to use italics for when a character is thinking. Tell me what you think about that, the main reason I use those instead of quotations is because I remember reading a story where an author used quotations for thinking and it got extremely confusing at one part. It could have just been the author's bad writing but I figured I would just use italics instead. So please R & R.

Also I apologize if there are any typos. I only kept it a day since it was finished. I am late with this chapter, so I wanted to get upload it. So there could be a few mistakes, your just gonna have to deal with it.
