Aleena was sitting on a stone wall, lost in her thought when Russell walks over and sits next to her.
"What's wrong?" Russell asks.
"Nothing, just lost in my thoughts." Aleena replies.
"Don't think you have to marry King Jules." Russell tells her.
"I know father, but if I can change him, I can save lives." Aleena tells him.
"Sweetheart." Russell says.
Aleena sighs as she leans against him.
"I can do this father." Aleena says. "And he can be a sweet guy." Aleena admits softly.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Russell asks.
"I do." Aleena replies. "I'll be fine." Aleena assures him.
"I know you will be fine, I'm just making sure you know." Russell tells her.
"I know what I'm doing." Aleena says as she got up. "I better find mother." Aleena then says walking off.
She walks home to see her mother walking out.
"Aleena, I was just coming to look for you." Ivy says.
"What is it mother?" Aleena asks.
"Come in, we need to talk." Ivy tells her.
Aleena nods as she follows her mother inside.
"Have you talked to your father?" Ivy asks.
"I have." Aleena replies. "I haven't changed my mind." Aleena tells her.
"Good." Ivy says as she sits a stool in front of Aleena.
Aleena sighs as she sits down.
"Now, we have work to do." Ivy says.
"Like what?" Aleena asks.
"Well, if Jules does ask you to marry him, you need to know a lot of things before you move in." Ivy says. "Straighten your back." Ivy tells her.
Aleena nods as she does that.
"Don't make me regret this." Aleena says.
"Don't worry dear, we'll start slow." Ivy says.
Aleena sighs, then nods.
"Alright, let's start mother." Aleena says.

Jules and the knights made it back to the castle. Jules slides off and heads to see Charlotte before Sir Andrew loses it. He first heads to his room to take his armour off. His servant helps him. He then heads to see Charlotte who is in her study with Wave.
"My lord." Charlotte says bowing. "Is everything okay?" Charlotte asks worried.
"I got wounded, can you check it." Jules replies.
"Of course." Charlotte says moving a stool over.
Jules sits down as he takes his shirt off. Charlotte then saw bandage and got a better look at it.
"I see someone has already stitched it." Charlotte says as she unwraps hit.
"Yeah." Jules says.
He then tells Charlotte about Aleena. Once he was done, Charlotte smiles.
"She seems like a wonderful woman. I think I have a friend who knows her." Charlotte says as she starts cleaning it.
"You do." Jules says surprise.
"Yeah, she's a purple hedgehog right." Charlotte says.
"Yeah, beautiful blue eyes." Jules whispers.
"What I heard is she has a heart of gold and loves helping people." Charlotte tells Jules.
"She says she loves helping her village." Jules adds.
"That would be the same Aleena then." Charlotte says as she wraps it with clean bandages.
"Thanks." Jules says.
"Anytime." Charlotte says as Jules puts his shirt on.
"How's Wave going?" Jules then asks.
"Still getting herself into trouble." Charlotte replies as Jules stands up.
"I better go." Jules says. "Take care."
"You too, my lord." Charlotte says.
Jules walks out. Sir Andrew then walks over and Jules smiles.
"And?" Sir Andrew asks.
"It's fine." Jules replies. "Charlotte knows a little about Aleena." Jules adds.
"Really, wow." Sir Andrew says as they start walking. "Are you sure seeing this Aleena is wise?" Sir Andrew asks.
"I have gone over this Andrew." Jules tells him.
"I know, but I don't trust her." Sir Andrew says.
"You don't even know her." Jules says. "Give it time." Jules tells him.
"Of course." Sir Andrew says. "Just, be careful." Sir Andrew warns him.
"I'll be fine." Jules tells him as they stop.
Sir Andrew nods and walks off and Jules sighs. All he could think about was Aleena.
'Could she really be the one I have been looking for?' Jules thinks, walking to the window.
He sighs. Only time will tell, he'll sneak out tomorrow to see her. He'll leave Sir Andrew in charge. He then walks off to find something to do.
"Wave!" he heard Charlotte shouts.
Jules then saw Wave running around again. Wave went to run pass, but Jules grabs her again.
"No!" Wave whines.
"I don't think so Wave." Jules says as Charlotte runs over.
"She's hard to keep in one spot my lord." Charlotte says as Jules hands Wave over.
"It's okay, see if Vanilla's mother will watch her. Tell her I sent you." Jules tells her.
"Of course, thank you." Charlotte says, then walks off.
Jules chuckles as Wave was leaning over Charlotte's back, waving at Jules. Jules wave and heads off.
