"Beatrix! Beatrix! Steiner where are you!" The Queen stormed through the
castle, looking for her two advisors.
"We're here your highness what is it?"
"They just took Zidane; they took him away from me and we're going to get him back." Beatrix and Steiner lowered their eyes.
"Queen Garnet…You've heard the contract and I'm sorry but the Alexandrian army cannot take the entire Alliance, we're still not on solid terms with Burmecia and Lindblum is avoiding war at all costs. There is nothing we can do."
"There must be something we can do, anything…anything…what if we made a deal?"
"But Queen Garnet, what do we have to offer." Garnet looked down at her shoes and then raised her chin.
"He may have me as his Queen in return for Zidane's life and freedom."
"Your highness no! Having him as kind would damage Alexandria just as much as a war, please don't do this!"
"Beatrix, I have to, Zidane will not die for saving my life. He can't, I won't let it happen. I need to be strong like him. I would still have rule over the kingdom for I was born into the crown. I…I've made my decision." Steiner and Beatrix just stared at the Princess, disapproving her decision.
"Steiner, please send notice to the Prince to meet me here in one hour. I…I need to see Zidane, one last time." I'm doing the right thing…I know I am.

"Zidane...Zidane are you here? Answer me." Zidane raised his head to the blinding light entering the chamber.
"Zidane! It's me, answer me!"
"Dagger….I'm over here, behind the box."
"Oh Zidane, I'm so sorry, this is all my fault." Garnet raised her hand to his cheek, stroking it. She came, why? Oh god, she is so beautiful.
"I missed you…" Zidane replied in a horse whisper. He wraps his tail around her waist. Her eyes start to water.
"Dagger, please don't cry." He raises his tail to her cheek, wiping away tears. She smiles through more invading tears.
"Zidane…I...I've made a decision, I'll ummm…I'm going to offer my hand to Prince Damon in return for your freedom. We will wed and you will get out of Alexandria, never to come back, it's for your safety." Zidane was shocked, did she just pull out a knife and stab him, because right now he couldn't tell the difference between the pains. She couldn't do this to herself. Not for me, not for me!
"No! Garnet, Dagger no! Look I wasn't meant to be, this is my time to go. It's my job to protect you and you're not stopping me!"
"Zidane…"
"No! Come back!" Dagger touched his face one more time before unraveling herself from his tail and backing up.
"No! Dagger damn it! Come back, don't do it!" Zidane, strained and fought against the shackles that held him. This can't be happening. God come back!
"Dagger! Dagger…" He lowered his head giving up against the strong chains. Dagger… tears stung his blood shot eyes. Come back…please.
************************************************************************
"Prince Damon, thank you for coming. I have a proposition for you."
"Pleasure to be here again Queen Garnet, I'm very interested in what you have to say, but I hope for your sake it isn't about that thief." Garnet closed her eyes at the word thief…Zidane was three times the man, this loser was. She braced herself as the Prince leaned down and kissed her hand.
"Prince Damon, for the prisoner's freedom, I offer my hand. He will be free to roam, wherever including the Alliance and he will not be killed."
"Queen Garnet, I'm astonished, so noble of you. This thief must be very special to you. Which makes this even easier."
"Your answer sir."
"I agree. He will be freed after the wedding."
"No, I insist that he be freed before hand, the conditions in that boat are unacceptable."
"Very well Garnet, since you asked nicely." There…it was done, this is her life now.
"You, the armored man, the arrangements will take place in my new kingdom and shall be set three days from now. Don't worry Garnet; you will learn to love me." Another tear escaped her eyes.
