At the castle
"Letter's from the North. It says they will declare war upon us for kidnapping their princess. Two options were given; one is to hand their princess and apologizes to them. Another is…war," the soldier looked at the queen. "Princess? We can't have war with them. Our King is ill and there isn't anybody to take over the throne," the queen was confused. She didn't know what to do. All she could do was pray. "Get the princes back and their sleeping beauty," the queen ordered.
At the ship,
"Do you love her?" Cole asked. Leo paused. "No," he walked off. Cole knew he was lying but perhaps it's better not mentioning about it. Leo said no and that means he is ready to give up Piper for him. "Leo? She is very important to me," Cole said to him at the front deck that evening. "I know, don't you worry. Take good care of her," Leo smiled to him. One of the sailors ran towards them. "She has awakened! That lady, she is awake," the sailor said. Both of them ran towards her room but Leo slowed down. He realized it wasn't his responsibility to give her a hug or to even say how you are. It's Cole's.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" Cole whispered softly to her. "Who are you?" Piper said weakly. "It's me Cole. Remember, we met at the beach just like this hour in the evening? We even watch the sunset together and you told me to bring you away, some where far away," Cole said. "I am sorry. I did? I don't even know you. Who are you? Leave me. Don't come near me!" Piper shouted at him after Cole came nearer to hold her. "Why? It's me, please you told me I was the first man that made you felt safety," Cole tried to convince her. Piper was getting out of control. She was emotional unstable as Cole was rather aggressive. "Cole, stop it. She's just got her senses," Leo tried to prevent Cole from pressuring her. "Get your hands of me! What make you think you can make her feel better?" Cole shouted at Leo. "Based on the fact that I am a doctor!" Leo said back. Cole stopped and walked out.
"Piper? Calm down. My name is Leo and I am here to help you. I am a doctor," Leo said. Piper was crying. She was terrified. "I just need to do some check up, okay? Just relax," Leo whispered. Piper slowly calmed down and Leo did some check up.
"She lost her memories. She may or may not get it back but triggering her will worsen her condition. She woke up in a foreign land with a man that she had forgotten gave her quite a jolt already," Leo said. "I don't get it. My first love and it screwed up. I thought that if I am brave enough to love, I will definitely get love. You gave up your love for responsibilities and I didn't want to follow your steps but now we are the same. We are destined not to get love," Cole said. Cole was confused and sad. He thought he could be with Piper and marry her on this beautiful ship that he made specially for her. "Be patient, she will fell in love with you again as long as you don't give up on her," Leo advised him. Cole hugged him, "You are the best brother in the world,"
"Don't worry, I understand that you are confused and all so don't worry. Take it easy. You will know me again," Cole said to Piper who was at her room. Everyday, Cole will go to her and try to remind her of things she had forgotten. "See this? It's your gift to me," Cole passed her a locket. Piper stared at the locket and shook her head. "Never mine, take your time. Keep it and try to remember about it," Cole told her. Piper begun to trust him and started to speak to him. "Thank you. I must have screwed up myself pretty badly for me to forget you," Piper joked. "Not really. It supposed to be extremely bad," Cole joked. Piper chuckled. Both of them often spend their time together. Their bond was getting closer. Leo couldn't do anything but to avoid her. Leo dare not even to see her eye to eye.
"How is it going between you and Piper?" Leo asked. "It was awesome. She got some flashes here and there. She will recover in no time," Cole said. "That would be great. Wish you all the best," Leo said to him as he toasted to him. "Thank you and sorry," Cole said. "For what?" Leo asked. "For not trusting you and doubting you. Thank you for being so supportive. For once, I actually thought that you would be my rival. I thought you fall in love with Piper but now I knew I was wrong. You are the best brother in the world and I am lucky to have you," Cole said to Leo. "Really? I thought I taught you how to play with fire when you were like four? Just joking. Thanks," Leo said. That night, they had a great time. They didn't know that their country was in boiling water but it's just a matter of time before the news come to their ears. By than, it's good bye to happy times, welcome disaster.
The next morning
They stopped their ship at a harbour to replenish their limited supply. Leo and Cole both took this opportunity to tour around. "Like this?" Cole asked Piper. Piper looked at the beautiful decorative and picked her favorite one. Cole paid for it and walked on. Leo who was behind whispered to him to stop walking. "Cole, they said our country is in trouble. They are going to war with the Northern and we both know how elite their armies are," Leo said to Cole. "There's nothing we can do about it. It's no longer our matter," Cole told him. "We are still you know what. Responsibility of a son, ruler and human being will always exist," Leo whispered to him. "What are you two whispering about?" Piper asked. "Nothing…Let's speak later," Cole whispered to Leo and they continued their shopping spree.
"We are followed," Cole said to Leo. "I know. Let's run as soon as we reach a kilometer away from our ship," Leo ordered. Cole hold on to Piper's hand and as soon as Leo gave the sign. Both Cole and Leo ran towards the ship as fast as they can while the soldiers behind chased after them. Piper who didn't know a thing tagged along. "They are too close. Take Piper's hand. You go to the ship with her first. I will be behind," Cole said and passed Piper's hand to Leo. The guards were near and Leo didn't have a choice. Piper was their main priority. "Come on," Leo pulled her and ran together. Cole stood there and took out his sword. He was ready to fight in order to save them. There were so many of them. Cole fought bravely and was slashed a couple of times but he was still standing.
Leo in the other hand brought Piper to safety but there were soldiers all over. They surrounded him and forced him to surrender. Both Piper and Leo were cornered to a cliff. "I will jump. Will you?" Piper asked him. Leo didn't know what to do but after what Cole did to save them; he can't just let them take Piper away. Cole died for him. Cole was braved enough to do so and so do Leo. "Close your eyes and hold my hand," Leo told her and by the count of one, two and three, both of them jumped.
