Chapter 8

The Truth

Duo felt like he was in prison. Books were in front, behind, and even above him. All of the books making a cave that he was kind of worried that was going to cave in at any moment. Not being able to take it any more he spoke up with his complaints.

''You guys what are we looking for. If I find one more book on the natural growth of worms I promise you I've going to show those worms a new way to grow.''

Wufei looked at Maxwell with a bit of confusion. ''That didn't make any sense at all Maxwell.''

Duo looked sheepishly back at Wufei. He really needs to get some more sleep. Speaking of sleep he looked at Quatre, who was fast asleep on the table. He never did tell them why he disappeared for an hour and came back with a smile so big he could have blinded the sun.

XxXxXxXxXx

''Quatre proposed!'' Relena screamed as she saw the beautiful diamond on her friend's hand.

Dorothy blushed a little. Not too much to really notice.

Hilde and the others nodded enthusiastically. There was too much to tell. All of that sweetness Quatre had really did come in use. Who knew he could be so romantic?

Relena couldn't bare not knowing anymore. ''So tell me everything.''

It seems that Quatre had taken Dorothy to a small clearing in the woods. With the full moon out he said the most romantic thing.

''WELL what was it!''

''Hold on I'm getting there!''

''…ok I'm sorry please go on.''

Quatre took her hands in his and knelt down before her.

''I guarantee their will be tough times. I guarantee that at one point one or even both of us that will want to get out of this thing. But I also guarantee that if I don't ask you this I will regret this for the rest of my life. I know that in my heart you're the only one for me. So I ask you this. Will you marry me?''

''Awwwwwww,'' the five other girls cried.

XxXxXxXxXx

'HAHAHAHA,'' Duo laughed at Quatre's speech. Quatre blushed and ducked so no one could see his face. The four other glared at Duo. What was so funny?

''Why are you laughing Maxwell?'' Wufei asked. Duo couldn't get up just yet so the others just stared at him.

Finally getting control of his laughter he was ready to talk.

''It's just that at one time Dorothy stabbed Quatre, and now their getting married. Isn't that ironic?''

Trowa nodded in agreement,'' Yes but just look at Heero and Relena.'' The former raised his head in question on where the clown was going with this.

Milliardo was interested as well. Where could Trowa be going with this.

''She's a princess, someone to be protected. Heero is a soldier, one who does the protecting.'' He shrugged indifferently. ''I thought that was ironic as well.''

Quatre nodded his head in agreement. Eager to get the topic off his engagement he changed it to the problem at hand.

''Well speaking of Relena what are we going to do about our small problem here?''

''Hey you guys!'' Duo leapt up from his seat, crashing in to the books above him causing a small book slide.

The others watched as Duo dug his way out of the piles on top of him. Sometimes dodging different books as they were thrown this way or that.

''If we don't have a copy of this treaty doesn't it mean that it wasn't real and we can just go arrest Adray now?'' Unfortunately for him he miss placed a book which cause the rest of the shelves to come down on them. After all of them managed to get away far enough to insure that the shelves themselves wouldn't hit them they turned back to Duo's question.

''No Duo just because we don't have one doesn't mean that we can arrest him. He still has a document that proves us wrong. What we need to find is anything that says no to it. Such as a rejection letter that they might have sent off. We're hoping they had a copy of some sort.'' Quatre explained losing hope even as he spoke of finding some. This was going to be next to impossible. Surely any evidence that it was fake would have been destroyed by Adray. Their only luck was to find something here. Like a document, disagreement, or a…''

''A journal?'' Dup popped out with causing Quatre to loose his thought.

''Did you find something Duo?'' Miliiardo asked.

''Yeah,'' he answered while he flipped through the pages. He seemed very in to what ever it was in his hands.

''I think it's your father's journal. That landslide of books just now knocked over some cabin that had this small journal underneath it.'' He showed it to the others. It would have been a normal book if it for the engraving of the words Richard Peacecraft on it.

Flipping through the pages Duo stopped at an entry dated at least 17 years ago.

January 11, A.C. 187

The King of Kilsa has asked to make a treaty with me recently. It seems that if I do not agree that our two countries would be on the brink of war. I do not wish this yet I don't not see any way out of it either. The agreement being that the first daughter I have would be married to his newly born son. I do not agree to take away my daughter's right to choice who she spends the rest of her life with before she even comes in to existence.

With this said I most reject the treaty. I only hope that the country does not wish war. Or even revenge for the rejection.

Below the journal where documents and papers of the country Kilsa. Even a copy of everything they had sent to them and were sent back.

''Yes we did it. All we have to do is go arrest Adray and princess is home free.''

''No,'' Wufei disagreed and the others looked to him in astonishment.

''But Wufei…why?'' Trowa asked. The other wondered as well. Didn't he was to get Relena out of this too?

''They won't believe us over the prince. What we have to do is to make his own country to believe us. That way he can't buy himself out of everything.''

''I agree with Wufei,'' Milliardo and Heero agreed.

Heero continued on,'' Relena can't know about this. If she knew than she would be too happy. So she won't have to put an act on. This information doesn't leave this room.''

''Right,'' the others agreed.

''So where are we going to put all of this information?'' Trowa asked. They couldn't let Adray know they had it.

Heero volunteered.

''I know where to put it.''

Duo, as usual, could take not knowing and asked where.

All Heero answered was,'' In wing.''

''So you have it here Heero. Where did you stash it this time?'' Quatre asked as well.

''Right next to yours. I know the rest of you have them around here somewhere. Thinking that we might have a war on our hands made you guys to work like crazy to repair them. Am I right?''

The five other nodded their heads guiltily.

''Well I'm going to put this safely in Wing.'' With that they waited until they couldn't hear Heero's footsteps anymore before they began talking.

''So who are we going to have to prove this too anyway?'' Duo asked while scratching his back nervously. This was going to be tough. How in the world were they going to prove this? Oh well we're pretty good at doing the impossible.

''The council Duo,'' Quatre explained patiently. ''They are advisers to the Royals. So we have to convince them that their Prince has done a treason.''

''But,'' Wufui cut in,'' wouldn't they just believe their Prince soon to be King?''

''That's why if they don't believe us we're going to be giving them some ''help'' at the wedding,'' Trowa finally spoke.

''Well,' Duo spoke with a sigh,'' let's hope they just believe us. I don't know how much more of this I can take.''

''Agreed,'' they all sighed. This was going to be a long adventure. One they could of all done with out.

XxXxXxXxXx

''Relena,'' Hilde interjected in their awing session.

''Hum?'' Relena took her eyes away from Dorothy ring,'' What is it?''

Hilde didn't know how to put this. What if she said yes? This whole thing was a big mess. Damn you Adray.

''Has Adray grown on you at all?'' she asked almost nervously.

''No,'' she shook her head sadly. She was marring a man she couldn't even stand. This was so depressing. She needed some chocolate. Damn you Adray.

''So what kind of love is this?'' Sally asked. The others held their breath for Relena's answer.

Her eyes watered slightly. ''An unwanted one,'' she sobbed out.
