Afternoon
Flora and Helia entered the house where Helia and Avalon lived to see the house trashed.
Flora wore a light purple blouse with pink jeans and purple flat shoes. Helia had on a white shirt with blue jeans and blue and white shoes.
Helia called out, looking around the place. "Dad, where are you?"
They heard groaning coming from the kitchen.
They went to the room to see Avalon lying on the ground wearing white pants and a blue shirt. There were bruises on his arms and face.
Flora went over to him and examined the male. After a few minutes she said. "The bruises on his arms seem to be the worst of it. Still we better call an ambulance and carry him to the hospital to make sure."
Helia nodded before calling for an ambulance.
Once that was done he went to the living room and overheard Avalon explaining what happened to him.
Helia kindly asked, cutting into the conversation. "Dad, can you start over?"
"Yeah! I started packing while you and Flora were away."Avalon began. "Then out of nowhere Griffin and Nex came. Griffin was telling me how much she would change if I took her back. I didn't believe her and ordered the two off the property. Nex then attacked me. Griffin then went on to steal items around the house while Nex continued to beat me up. When Griffin got what she needed Nex knocked me out cold before they ran away. Nex thought he had killed me because he was telling Griffin about staging the scene or something like that."
Helia growled. "I am going to make them pay for this."
Flora soothed her husband from where she was. "Sweetie, I have something else in mind. Attacking someone is an offense which can add up to eight years according to the Linephain Law. Attacking someone with the intension to kill him or her equals to twenty years. Doing all of that to someone that is linked to the royal family through blood is seen as an attack on the royal family itself and equals to life in prison."
Helia liked where this was going. "I like your idea much better, Flower. The problem is how are we going to find them and charge them with the crime?"
"My friend, Princess Musa of Meldoy is in town for a few days. She said she met someone named Riven and the two of them are currently dating." Flora smirked. "The way she described him sounds an awful lot like the Riven we know. We can call them and ask Riven if he is willing to cough up where Griffin and Nex are currently staying."
Helia sighed. "It's worth a shot. He didn't come here to raid the place so that could mean he has a change of heart and is following the law."
Seconds later the ambulance siren was heard coming towards the house.
Saturday Night
Griffin and Nex entered the palace with broad grins on their faces.
Griffin wore a dark purple sleeveless dress with a black belt around her waist and black shoes. Nex had on a light blue tux with white shirt, black tie and black shoes.
They had received from Riven that he got an invite to the Royal Wedding and he was giving the invitation to the two of them.
Nex and Griffin jumped at the chance and took the ticket. Griffin saw this as a last chance for Nex to wow over the Princess. She is a strong believer of love at first sight.
Walking into the ballroom the saw the first and second floor decorated with light blue and white decorations. White roses were seen along with the wedding decorations.
People were already seated and waiting for the wedding to start.
Nex was looking around. Seeing a room that could pass for a dressing room, he whispered to Griffin. "I am going to find out if the Princess is in that room."
Griffin nodded.
A man with black hair, light skin and blue eyes saw Nex walking towards Princess Flora's dressing room. He had on a black and white suit with black shoes.
Recognising them from the picture the Princess had circulated throughout the palace. He quickly placed a hand on the both of them.
Nex and Griffin looked around to see the male. He told them. "The wedding is about to start. I am going to have ask you two to have a seat immediately. The only seats available are the ones at the top."
Nex and Griffin were going to protest but stopped. The male gave them a look that sent chills down their spines.
They unwilling went to their seats.
As soon as they sat down, Nex and Griffin noticed that they were sandwiched by two thick black hair and light skin men. They had on black and white tux with black shoes.
Feeling something was wrong, Griffin and Nex wanted to leave.
Before they could get up, a male pastor came to the top of the alter. He had short grey hair, light skin and purple eyes. He wore a white robe with black shoes.
Walking up to stand beside the pastor was someone they never expected to see. It was Helia!
He had on a white tux with white shoes and a red rose pinned on the upper left section of his jacket.
Both gasped, seeing Helia where the groom was supposed to stand.
Appearing beside Helia was a male with short orange hair, light skin and hazel eyes. He wore red glasses, black and white tux with black shoes. His name was Timmy and he is Helia's best man.
Helia smirked seeing Griffin and Nex's shocked face.
A soft melody began to play. Everyone turned around to see the maid of honour walking down the alter. She had long curly brunette hair, dark skin and brown eyes. Aisha wore a pink strapless dress with white high heel shoes.
Once she reached the top the music changed to another soft melody. Everyone stood up expect Griffin and Nex.
The two men who happen to be bodyguards, forced them to get up.
Everyone looked to the doorway to see Flora wearing a white wedding dress. It was strapless princess dress with diamonds hand sewed into the dress. In her hands was a bouquet consisting of red and white roses.
Nex and Griffin gulped seeing Flora walking up to Helia.
'We are in deep trouble.' Griffin thought. 'I didn't know she was the Princess. She should know what we did to Avalon. The thing is how did she find out where Nex and I were staying?'
While everyone was focusing on Flora the two bodyguards dragged Nex and Griffin out of the ballroom and into a small room with no windows.
While being dragged out of the room Griffin and Nex saw Riven sitting on the second floor of the room wearing a black and white tux with black shoes.
He was sitting beside Flora's parents, Avalon and a female with long blue hair, light skin and blue eyes. She had on a long blue dress with white shoes. They knew it was Musa, Riven's girlfriend.
Riven saw the two of them looking at him and didn't make eye contact with them.
Then both Griffin and Nex knew they were set up and Riven ratted them out.
After the wedding all the guest headed into another room for cocktail hour. Helia and Flora entered the room Griffin and Nex were dragged into with Avalon. Avalon had on a navy blue suit with black shoes.
A girl with short purple hair, light skin and green eyes entered the room with them. She wore a light purple gown with white high heel shoes.
The room was small in size and painted brown. It only had one blub, a table with two chairs which Nex and Griffin were chained to.
Closing the door, Griffin hissed. "Let us go. We did nothing wrong."
"Really?" Avalon spoke, folding his arms. "What do you call attacking me, trying to kill me and stealing things from my house?"
"What-?" Griffin pretended to not know what he was talking about.
"Before you continue to lie…" Flora hushed her. "Lying to anyone much less the members of the royal family is a serious offence."
"Um…" Griffin was at a loss for words.
"Mom, give it up." Nex gave a sigh of defeat. "We are done."
"This should be a lesson to you two." Helia spoke. "You can't treat people like crap to get the things you want. Some of the things you should do in order to succeed through life is to work hard, not do anything illegal and do your best. Taking the easy way out is never the right thing to do."
Flora cleared her throat while indicating to Tecna. "It seems to be too late for you two to learn that lesson. Now this is Tecna. She is a lawyer and is here with us now to tell you two what you are being charged with. None of you will ever see the light of day again."
"No!" Griffin cried.
Nex sighed. "I should have listened to Riven and stopped this life of crime. He backed out when he had the chance and will be a free man."
Tecna stood in front of the table. The two bodyguards stood beside Nex and Griffin.
Flora, Helia and Avalon left the room and headed to the reception.
About to reach the reception Flora stopped Helia. Avalon went ahead, leaving the two alone.
Helia asked while hugging his wife's waist. "What's wrong Flower?"
"I was wondering if you are alright." Flora asked hugging Helia's neck.
"Of course I am. I am married to the love of my life and will spend forever with you." Helia answered before kissing her right cheek for a moment. "I also have my family and friends with me. I am looking forward to every moment good and bad with you."
"We will have bad moments but the good moments will outweigh it." Flora smiled.
"I love you Princess Flora." Helia softly said while moving his head closer to her own.
"I love you too Prince Helia." Flora replied before moving her head so that their lips could meet quicker.
Sharing a romantic kiss both knew and felt that their love was long lasting.
Ending the kiss after a few minutes Helia and Flora held hands while walking into the reception space to be with their family and friends. Neither knew at the time that they would be expecting bundle of joy in nine months time.
