The Princess' Worry

A deafening explosion ripped through the air, the floor in which the king's study was located was blown apart and two figures could be seen falling.

Roman who was patrolling ran toward the explosion that he knew would happen. He looked at the people around him some stunned others dazed, most of them came running after their king.

Roman, not wanting to be caught also ran with them. Roman, being one of the only people with access to aura enhanced dashed quickly across the debris. Step by step taking a toll on him as his aura was spread thin.

He caught Jaune and managed to land safely, "Neo!" he shouted.

Unsurprisingly, Neo had caught Ren as well. Much more skillfully. Roman looked up at the wreck that was the King's study and saw a plume of smoke emanating from it.

The smoke formed a symbol, the White Fang insignia.

Gasps were heard all around

"The white fang?"

"Here?"

"In Ansel no less..."

Bystanders were in high alert and some were even panicking. The guard quickly took to their role, "Please remain calm, this attack is inconsequential and will do no more than harm them" A Royal Knight proclaimed.

"For our King will exact vengeance upon them"

The bystanders relaxed slightly while the soldiers were taking care of the situation. Roman and Neo, along with a handful of knights took Jaune and Ren to the medicinal bay where the doctor Miss Layla Polendina.

Quickly she took the two boys and lay them on beds. "What happened here commander?"

"The king and his adviser were caught in an explosion caused by the White Fang, we have no probable way to tell what kind of ex-"

Layla hushed the commander "Enough, thank you. When you said White Fang I already assumed they'd use this type of dust."

Layla's hand lit up with green magic, scanning every part. "Its dark magicks imbued with explosive dust" she clicked her tongue "very corrosive if not treated quickly... Penny!"

Layla called her daughter, "Yes mother?"

"I need two small bags of crushed Pearlweed, four ounces of Bearthawn and could you bring me the paste of Lightseeds?"

Penny nodded as she looked worriedly at the patients "Yes mother"

"Good" Layla looked back at her patients. The green light in her hand glowing brighter as the pain in Jaune and Ren's faces began to worsen. "Hold on tight boys, I'm not losing either of you"

Blake looked longingly at the door, less focused on her book than usual. She found herself looking for Jaune more especially after the revelation of last night.

Saphron laughed at the display "You know Blake, the book might get jealous if its getting read less than the door"

Blake blushed but hid her expression calmly "Oh, my apologies"

This made Saphron smirk "I see your ears reddening you can lie to other people but not to me!"

At which point Blake fully blushed and hid her face.

"Ah a maiden in love... So you waiting for Lil' Bro? It hasn't even been six hours yet, he's probably only half way done"

"Half-way? How much work does he do?"

Saphron's eyes darkened slightly "Quite a lot, ever since dad died it left a massive void of power and... ever since then he had to become as cold as winter and hard as steel."

Saphron exhaled "He had to clean the court of corruption, get rid of disputes, make sure the noble houses were okay, and on top of that he even went to war with violent tribes and corrupt kingdoms."

Blake put her hand to her mouth, she was beyond shocked. She had heard of his actions and his accolades but they were always in a positive or even fearful notation. But hearing it from Saphron, his sister, she found out that Jaune... he was just a normal boy their age, who was forced to grow even faster.

Jaune was tired and needed respite.

"I... How can I help-" Blake asked but was cut off by Saphron

"You already are" she smiled at the princess "You are his temple Blake, by you being here he is able to unwind and relax himself"

Blake nodded as warmth overtook her body, the fact that Jaune Arc who was known as cold and ruthless was as warm as he was to her or that he cared about her as much as he did made her feel butterflies in her stomach.

"Thank you-" Blake started but was cut. They felt the ground shake. "What was that" Blake asked.

Saphron shrugged but gestured Blake to follow as she exited the library. They went to the close balcony and looked over to see the tower across from them up in smoke.

"The White Fang... That's the King's Study!" Saphron said as she took off running. Blake followed suit, "Jaune..." she said worriedly as they ran.

Past all the maids and the workers who were doing their best to clean the debris and minimize damage. Blake and Saphron made it to the guards and knights in front. "Knight, where has Jaune been taken?"

"The King has been taken to Miss Layla in the MedBay, you just missed them."

Blake and Saphron took off running, Blake's heart beating faster in worry as was Saphron's. Blake was fearful now more than before, after seeing the damage that was done by the bomb.

Pitter patter of heels on tile, like that of rain to the roofs in June. Blake and Saphron finally made it to the door of the medbay and the amount of people going in and out were staggering.

Blake heard a conversation of a guard and a knight.

"How many casualties were there?"

"Two guard and a knight were crushed by the debris and a peasant lost his leg"

The knight sighed and they continued talking. Blake was already horrified and now even more so.

"Where is my brother the King???" Saphron asked a physician close to them.

He pointed toward The White Mage, Miss Layla Polendina. "The king and his chancellor are being treated by The White Mage, Princess" he stammered shocked.

Saphron took Blake's hand and shot toward them. Blake and Saphron were shocked to say the least.

Layla wiped her forehead of sweat "I apologize for not calling you but the dark magic removal is a grueling procedure. But I believe King Jaune and hi chance-oof"

Saphron hugged Layla "Thank you so much for saving my brother" she said as she cried.

Blake looked over at the two men.

Jaune had bandages on his left hand, on his chest was a gash that seemed to have been healing and all over his body you could see chips and knicks. He had a large scratch on his right shoulder and small burns all over. But Blake breathed a sigh, he seemed fine.

His chest moving meant he was breathing and she was just glad he was alive honestly. She was so relieved that she also started crying.

"Jaune... Thank God you're alive..."

"Now Now, Don't cry. Mommy saved the King and the Chancellor for you, Princess. Even though the Chancellor was more for Miss Nora..." The orange haired girl said placing a bucket of water and a towel next to the bed.

Blake wiped her tears. "E-excus-"

The girl nodded "Ah! Apologies, salutations! I'm Penny Polendina, my mother's apprentice"

Layla who was comforting Saphron smiled "Ah, I apologize if she's a little awkward she takes after her father"

Penny smiled "Yep that's a good thing right?"

Layla laughed "Indeed"

Blake nodded with a smile "I-Is it alright to watch over Jaune?"

Layla shrugged "Why not? Though I wouldn't suggest staying here, he would be moved to his chamber later on."

Blake sighed in relief "Thank you so much miss Layla"

"Just doing my job" she replied.

"I'm so thankful Miss!" Saphron shouted still crying.

"Ren!" Nora said running up but was stopped by a Royal Knight, "Lady Nora, you can't just-"

"But he was hurt badly! I can't bear to see him like this... I" Nora cried

Blake went over to her, waving the knight away. "Nora?"

Nora nodded.

"I know you're worried" she started "Believe me I am too..."

"But we have to let them rest for a while, I'll make sure to allow visits to Ren"

Nora nodded "You're nice, I like that." wiping her tears.

Blake smiles warmly "Thank you, let's give the boys a piece of our mind when they get better right?"

Nora nodded sniffling "Yep..."

Torchwick was twirling his cane in his mask smiling. "See? Easy! Now then, let me in on the invasion plan"

"It only worked because of my henchmen" Cinder/Queen spat.

Roman laughed "They were more a hassle really, I could've done it myself and Neo could've done the other"

"Did you manage to plant it? The device for Blake?" Adam asked a little more desperate.

Roman showed a smirk "Done and dusted, all for your little stalkery needs. Now then High Witch, do I have your trust yet?"

Salem looked over the cocky brigand, the rogue and traitor. "I believe I asked you this before, but what is your stake in this? I find it hard to believe you have no personal goal."

Watts nodded "Indeed, quite odd for a ruffian like yourself to help an organization like ours"

Sienna and Hazel also agreed.

Roman shrugged "Trust me or not, I at least deserve this much? Plus if you want my reason-" he looked Salem dead in the eye.

"I just want to watch bitches get what they deserve"

Salem stared at his eyes which were full of determination and confidence. "Hmph, prove yourself useful and you might even become an inner circle" she said.

Tyrian was biting and pulling on his sleeve in anger "THIS MAN? TO BE AN INNER CIRCLE!"

Salem gave him a stern stare then. He then shut up "Y-yes, my Goddess..."

"Will that be all this time?" Roman asked "Because me and Neo have some... things... to do"

Neo wiggled her eyebrows.

The Order did not react but Salem replied "By Nightfall of this week's end, we will mount an attack on the weakened Kingdom of Ansel, without their King in play they are as weak as all the other kingdoms. Bull!"

Adam smiled coldly "Yes?"

"Prepare your men to quickly mount a siege. This battle will be over in four day's time" Salem predicted.

"Sienna, I assume you do not need me to tell you to have your forces infiltrate from the flank?"

Sienna nodded.

"Good, this is but a simple plan as to not have many mistakes. Execute it well, and the kingdom of Ansel will be just another pile of rubble to the Fang." she looked at Adam.

"And its prize, will be once again yours"

Adam's eyes sharpened "Blake... will be mine"

Roman fished a crystal out of his pocket "Oh I also forgot, Bull!"

Adam looked his way, "Catch!" Roman shouted throwing the crystal recording of Jaune and Blake talking and making up toward Adam.

Adam looked at the crystal and his face instantly became red in anger, "That son of a-"

Roman walked away with Neo with a wide smile, ignoring the outbursts of a crazy man.

"I love my job, right Neo?"

The small girl nodded.

The sun, set that day and all went quiet. The stars illuminated the night sky and the picture of a red haired warrior in the training ground was visible.

Pyrrha's kiss with Jaune was something she did not expect, she may not have been confident but even the men in her tribe told her that she was very attractive.

"Was I not beautiful enough? Maybe not elegant enough? I would have to try again..." she wondered.

"I don't think its about being beautiful enough or being elegant" a female voice sounded from the hall close to the training ground.

Pyrrha whipped her head to see who it was. Blake stood in all her majesty. "The Princess!" Pyrrha bowed "I apologize for my display with the King"

Blake waved her hand "It's alright, while I do not understand what overtook you I am able to forgive it."

"But do not misunderstand Princess" Pyrrha stood "I am not giving up on the King"

Blake nodded "I do not mind, all in all it is quite normal for a King to have concubines"

Pyrrha blinked "W-what?"

Blake nodded "Indeed, I came here to apologize for my conduct the other day. I was..." she gulped "jealous... I overreacted because of my selfishness, my sincerest apologies" she then bowed.

Pyrrha rushed toward the princess making her stand straight "Bowing in that way means to admit to losing! Let me tell you Princess Blake, you certainly did not lose. Please do not apologize, I was also hasty in my actions and-"

Blake laughed lightly "Thank you, Pyrrha. I hope we can get along"

Pyrrha nodded and offered her hand, which Blake took "Of course, Princess Blake"
