Ch.6 A very long day.
Relena watched as Lord Yuy left the tent. "Wufei."
"Yes, M'lady."
"Is what he said true?"
"Aye. He would have went alone, if not for his stubborn comrades." She looked at the china-man, catching a gentle smile gracing his face. He made his way around to the other side of the hammock, agile fingers unlacing the strings of her gown he hands her the cloak. "He regrets it though, gave his only chance at true happiness, to protect those he was sworn to." He finishes his work and leaves her to dwell on his words.
Heero sits looking contemplatively at the stars. "How many are up there M'lord?" He starts and looks to find Hilde. "Did you find him?" "Aye, he says that he wishes to ride with you for a ways."
"Did he say why?"
"Because my uncle believes you to be up to something."
"You're Grace." Heero nods to the crown prince as he steps out of the shadows.
"Lord Yuy." The prince returns the nod.
"The King has received word that the Princess of the Sanc was kidnapped. He suspects you Yuy, and has sent me to 'investigate'."
"M' Lord? Are you implying." The Prince put his hands up in front of him.
"No.no.Of course not, I have already sent my pages back to inform my uncle that she is not here. Relax Heero I mean not to interfere, I agree that this is probably my uncle is probably behind all of this. Let me stay with you just until you reach your manor, he won't send any one else after you as long as I'm here." Prince Kushrenada raised an eye brow at the young lord waiting for his decision.
"Why would you even care what happens to her?"
"She is a sweet girl, and her brother and I." He rubbed the back of his neck with one gloved hand. ".We where once good friends. I owe him this much, I wish for his friendship once more but this action will far from rectify the actions against his family from mine." Heero nods and walks away leaving Hilde to take the prince to his accommodations.
Triez woke early the next morning, with the hope to snoop a little despite his words last night to Yuy. He meant neither of them any harm he just wanted to talk to her to see if he could figure what had happened. Unfortunately Lord Yuy was awake already, assuming he even went to sleep. The camp was nearly packed and it looked as if they would be leaving soon. Perhaps the reason they where getting such an early start was in the tent the young lord was standing in front of. It was the only tent still up and the young lord seemed to be having a heated conversation with four of his best men.
Heero knew that the prince would be up early, so despite the show of good intentions he was still cautious. Spotting him as he walked over to their small group he ignored him continuing with his conversation with Trowa and Wufei. Wufei had informed him of his conversation with the princess, what she had asked and that she wished to speak with him. 'So now she knows everything. I wonder if it will change anything, probably not but it couldn't hurt to hope.' He was leaving Trowa as front guard and Wufei in the rear. "M' lord would you have me wake her."
"No, Sir Chang, I will retrieve her myself. It is best that she get her rest."
"She isn't going to like that at all, M' lord."
Heero nods. "Yes, I am aware of this, but it isn't really a matter of what she wants is it?"
"No M' lord."
"Have the carriage brought around, get the tent down, I want to move out before the sun crests." The Knights bowed and went about there tasks. He hated that, he may be their superior in rank, but never treated them any different then when they where children.
"Well done. I see you don't allow your word to be disputed." The prince fell into step beside as he walked towards the tent the princess was in. "But I wonder how badly injured is she that."
"Your grace, you know as well as I that even the most insignificant of wounds can cause problem if the injured does not get proper care. Now if you will excuse me they are taking down this tent, and it would be wise of me to move her lest the number of her injuries become worse." He entered the tent leaving the prince at the door.
