Disclaimer: I do not own Princess of Thieves

AN: So I finally got to a computer, and I finally got a new jump drive, so its all good. And to answer mizukimarr910 no I haven't done anything bad recently, that I know of. Or at least not anything really bad.

Chapter 4:

"So nice of you to stop by your majesty," said a slurred voice behind him. "We thought you would never come and that we would just have to settle for the girl, but you dropped by at just the right time."

"How did you get in here?" Philip asked

"Oh one of the nice guards told us when the guard on this door changed, and then let us in in-between shifts. If he was trusted enough to be aloud to guard this door or yours he would be here for you to meet, but your captain is smart and the guard isn't that trusted, but he was still able to get us in here"

"You won't have that spy for long, the captain will soon figure out who did it and there will be new company for those in the dungeon" Philip said with a smile.

"That's fine he will just escape with us, they don't know your in peril yet so he still can get in and out of here with out much question."

Just then Gwyn some how got one of her arms loose form the chair she was tied up in. The man behind her ran around to tie her back up, but she had also gotten a leg out and kicked him in the balls. He went down, but not for long enough to get the rest of the ropes untied. She struggled, but he out weighed her and got her pined down and tied back up again.

Damn, thought Philip, she almost had it. Philip looked at Gwyn, "I'm surprised you got in here with out a sound, if she wasn't so tired it wouldn't have been so easy for you. Besides what kind of man hurts a defenseless woman to prove how strong he is? I'll tell you what kind, the weak kind. You have no chance in this venture, we will win and you will be sent to the dungeons for such treason against your king."

The man pressed the knife harder against Philips throat, "You are not my king, you are a pretender who sent my king into exile. And for that he has plans for you that I will not spoil by killing you, but he did say we could do what ever we wanted to the girl as long as she was alive when we arrived," he said wile pushing Philip into a chair and tying him there. "And I think that once we're out of here we will take full advantage of that," he said with a leer towards Gwyn.

"You touch her and I will kill you, even if I die in the process. I will still live long enough to dance on your grave before I die," Philip yelled at the kidnapper wile straining against the ropes.

The guards heard the yelling and knocked on the door, "are you alright your majesty?" one of them yelled.

The kidnapper's partner took out a knife and put it to Gwyn's neck, "Tell them every thing is fine or she dies."

Philip looked at Gwyn and saw that she was scared, but when she saw him looking at her se glared at him. The look told him that if he gave himself up to save her it wouldn't matter if she lived, she would hate him forever. He knew that she would say that the country needed him more then her, but he knew that without her he wouldn't be much use to his people. Plus Fredrick would probably kill hi anyway. Then he thought of something. The captain had said he had put a couple of his best men at the door. They would know who had entered through the door, so he said "Its alright, Gwyn just fainted, but the doctors helping her now. And tell the captain that we may be a little later to dinner."

"Yes your majesty, and what may we tell the captain is detaining you?" came the reply through the door.

Yes, thought Philip, they caught on to it, but from the looks of things, the kidnapper had noticed something to. So he would have to be careful about the next thing he said, "Tell him that Gwyn would like to see to her horse now that she is better, and that after we are through we join him at dinner to further discuss the news that Robin brought back."

"Yes your majesty, right away." And they heard two pairs of feet running off.

"You told them something didn't you?" asked the kidnappers when the footsteps were far enough away.

"No, if I had they would have come bursting in here and some people would be very dead," answered Philip

"Fine let's get out of here before they come back," said the kidnapper that was guarding Gwyn. He cut her ropes, but kept a knife to her back. The other did the same for Philip and they all started heading out of the room. As they walked past the guards post the same kidnapper said, "It was very stupid of those guards to leave the door unguarded. I thought your captain was stricter then that."

Just then the two guards came out of their hiding palaces just behind the two kidnappers putting knives to the now would be kidnappers thoughts, "He is," said one.

"That's why we didn't leave," said the other. "Now drop your weapons." There was the clank of mettle hitting stone and Philip and Gwyn moved away. "Are you all right your majesty?" asked one with concern, but also with his eye on his prisoner.

"Yes I think we are," said Philip. Then turning to Gwyn he said, "I would have died before letting them touch you, even if it meant you would hate me, because with out you I wouldn't have been able to live anyway."

Gwyn looked at him and then said, "I know, and I love you for it." They kissed and they kissed so intimately that the guards just turned and walked away with the prisoners in hand, both knowing that the captain was going to be very happy to get the identity of the so called spy out of these two, and that soon they would have a new queen if things kept going the way they were going.
