At the prison

"Cole? What the hell are you doing here? Do you have a wish death? I asked you to run and now, God! Cole!" Leo said to Cole who was busy in helping him to escape. "If we want to leave, we go together as one. I will not leave without you as how you risked your life to safe mine. We live together, we die together," Cole said to Leo. "Thank you but how about our responsibilities as the future ruler? Many people are waiting for us," Leo asked. "Ignore it. We have mum for that and not to mention, father's other sons. They may not be first to the throne but they are definitely dad's sons," Cole said. Leo's chains were loosened and it gave just enough space for Leo's arms and feet to slip out of it. That night, the two young princes escaped from the castle secretly with the help of a best friend. They will be heading for the neighboring country. "Before we go, I need you to do something for me," Cole told Leo. "What?" Leo asked. "Get me in the hospital. I need to see her once again," Cole said. Leo knew it was wrong to break in the hospital but he himself had the urged to see her for the last time and so he agreed. Little he knew, Cole lied to him. Cole wanted more than just to see her.

At the hospital

"I guard here. You open the doors. The hospital might be closed but not to you, doctor," Cole said. "We better do this quick. Only one glance," Leo reached to his pocket to get the keys and opened the door. Both of the walked cautiously towards her ward. Once Cole got in, he started to pull the tubes out of her. 'Hey, are you crazy. She might die if you do that," Leo stopped him from continuing his plan. "Leo, I am sorry but I need her. Help me get her out of here, please. You knew how important is her to me" Cole said. "No, I am a doctor and I can't let you do that. We can't be selfish. She hardly recovers from her injuries and she needs medications," Leo said. Leo's heart wanted her too but he can't do it. "You are a doctor. I know you have a way. I begged you. Please…I can't live without her," Cole knelled down. Leo didn't know what to do and was in a dilemma. If he brings her along, she might die but if he did not bring her, Cole will be depressed and so himself as he would be worried sick about her conditions. Leo gazed at her. "No, we can't be selfish and risked her life. We have to consider safety," Leo replied. Cole was really quiet. Then he whispered to Leo, "We are being spied. They are everywhere. We have got to run. Now we have to get her out of here or else she will be in great danger," Cole whispered to Leo. Leo looked around and realized that there were guards all over the building. Leo immediately pulled off her tubes and grabbed his medical bag. "Go! Go! Go!" Leo said as he carried her in his arms and ran as fast as he could towards the exit. Cole tagged on and both of them fought their way through. Cole took out his sword and tried to defend them. One of his mother's soldiers attacked him and nearly hit Cole. He missed him by centimeters. "Opps, you have got to train harder," Cole said and pushed his sword back and within seconds, Cole managed to point his sword towards his neck thus forcing him to let go his weapon. "Sword down, everybody! We don't want anyone to get hurt." Cole ordered. Cole took him as a hostage and lead Leo towards the horses that belongs to the soldiers. They sped of with Piper to the harbour.

At the ship

They finally have freedom. Cole bought a large ship to escape. Everything was prepared. There were food and clothing, even cozy rooms. Leo put Piper down on a bed and starts connecting tubes on her again. "Thanks Leo. I don't know what I will do without you," Cole said. "Brothers? Than don't say about it. You saved my ass," Leo said to him. Both of them chuckled. "From now onwards, we will be staying on this ship and only get to mainland when we need supplies. This ship is all ours," Cole said. "I thought you said we are migrating. Who says about ship?" Leo was confused. "Didn't I tell you, mum's soldiers are great? They can track you like a tracking dog," Cole said. Leo was a little angry. "I know I didn't tell you before hand but I am afraid you might not want to come," Cole said. "Okay, no more lies. Promise?" Leo said. "Promise," Cole said and both of them headed to their rooms which were far smaller than their original ones but in return, they obtained freedom. That night, Leo couldn't sleep. All he had in mind was Piper. He was love sick. He dare not feel in love with her but he can't deny that he was attracted to her. He stood up and walked towards Piper's room. He just wanted to have a glance of her. When he was about to step in the room, he saw Cole. He was sleeping soundly beside her. Leo turned back and walked off with a heavy heart. Leo was wrong. Piper will never be his because she belonged to Cole, forever. Leo was sad but he tried to hide his feelings. Piper may never love him but Leo will always do. Leo kept his love in his heart to avoid hurting Cole.

Next Morning

Bright and blazing sun shone into Leo's room. Leo woke up and headed for the washroom. Suddenly, Cole dashed towards him. "Piper, her forehead is really hot. Piper," Cole said, trying to catch his breath. Leo threw his brush and towel to the floor and sped to her room. 'Oh God! We shouldn't have done this. Please be alright. Come on, breath!" Leo said to Piper as he pressed her chest hardly. Cole was at the side, watching his brother save his lover. After a while, Piper finally breathes. Leo felt so relieved. "We have to get to the shore. She needs proper treatment," Leo told Cole. "We will head for shore but we have to make things quick there or we might be caught again," Cole said.

Leo headed for the exit but just before he leaves, Cole called for him. "Leo, do you love her?"

At the castle

"You let them leave just like that? I rather rare dogs than you bunch of useless slaves!" the queen stormed. "Forgive us, my queen. Prince Cole threatened to kill and we didn't have a choice," the leader said. "He was trying to deter you and you let him go just like that! I dare he wouldn't even dare to hurt an ant," the queen said. "Anyway, continue to search for them and quick. Send more soldiers. Put in more funds. Do what ever but get them back as soon as possible!" the queen said. "The traitor is here, my queen," one of her loyal guards or elite soldiers said. The traitor was Leo and Cole's best friend and he helped Leo and Cole countless times. "What is your name?" the queen asked him. "Friend," he said. "Stupid slave! Beat him up till he understands the word respect," the queen ordered her soldiers. The soldiers started to punch and kick him. He was groaning in pain and couldn't defend himself at all. "Stop, now tell me, where are they?" the queen asked. "Who? I do not know what you are talking about," he said with pride although he was badly beaten up. "I am a quick person and I do not have time for games. So how about you telling me everything you know and I give you everything you want," the queen offered. "Not interested, my queen. I will never know anything," he said. He was loyal to Leo and Cole because they never treated him like a slave before but a friend. "Guards! Get me some hot water, boiling one" the queen said. She poured the water on him cruelly as he shouted in agony. His suffering and sacrifice will never be enough to pay what Leo and Cole did to him. Leo help saved his sick grandmother and paid for the treatment while Cole taught him and gave him education or else who knows what would have happened to him. He could be still begging by the street or watch his grandmother suffer and he unable to do a thing. He did this willingly. "End his life," the queen said coldly and walked off. One of the soldiers rushed in. "News! We…. To be continued…
