In England…
Dave and Paul rode to Cornwall to talk to the duke about his daughter. The duke gladly gave his daughter to Paul, but the daughter was not so happy.
They all went back to the castle. She would not talk to either of them. Dave wished Anna was here to help her adjust to the palace. She was taken to her room and she refused to come out.
"I need Anna!" Paul growled.
"I understand your frustration." Dave said.
"She will not come out and will not talk to me. What am I supposed to do? Force her?" Paul asked.
"No, she will come around. If not I will try and talk to her." Dave said.
"Go talk to her now, please?" Paul asked him. Dave agreed and went to her room.
"Stephanie?" Dave asked as he knocked. He cracked the door to find her sitting on her bed, crying.
"What?" she asked him. She was very upset.
"You do not need to be scared. Paul is a very nice person. You do not need to be afraid of him." he said.
"Just please, leave me alone!" she said.
"Are you not hungry?" he asked her.
"Please!" she said.
Dave got up and left. He had food sent to her and then they left her alone.
In France…
It had been 3 weeks since Anna had been in France. She was enjoying it, but missed home. She was going to see her parents that night because they were coming in from southern France for a large masquerade ball. She was excited to see them. Her and Randy had become closer as friends and she was beginning to really like him.
She was in the garden when she saw her father on the balcony. She ran to hug him.
"Father!" she said.
"Anna." he said as he hugged her.
"Let's go for a walk." she said. They were walking through the garden.
"What is on your mind?" he asked her.
"I need advice." she said.
"About?" he asked her as they sat down.
"My future." she said.
"Oh, you want to know who to marry, right?" he asked her. She nodded.
"I will go ahead and tell you that your mother and I hope that you will become queen. I do not want you to be queen of France. I do not like how he treats his people and would not expect him to be in power much longer. I do hope that you will be queen of England. I would want you to marry Dave, but Randy is nice as well. You will be royalty, Anna." he said. She sighed. She knew it was coming, but she did not want to face it.
"Thank you, father." she said and they continued to talk. Anna introduced her father to Viktor, who was bigger. They talked until it was time to get ready.
Anna got ready and was to walk down with John. She had on a black dress, with a silver mask over her face. She was having fun. The ball was going wonderful.
She and Randy were dancing when people began to riot outside the gates. Anna was ready at this point to go home. She did not like this. The rioters had been in front of the palace gates for the 3rd time since she was there.
"Anna, Randy we have to get in the back of the palace." John said.
"My parents?" Anna asked him.
"They are taken care of." he said and they were running to the back of the palace. A few of the rioters had gotten over the palace gates and into the courtyard. They were in the back of the palace.
"John, sir, the duchess has been killed." Shawn said. John looked at Anna.
"Anna, I am…" he was saying. She ran off before they ould catch her.
"No!" Randy yelled.
"You cannot go after her." Shawn said.
"I have to." he said.
"No, she ran away, just stay here and be safe." John said. Randy looked at him.
"How can you say this?" he asked John.
"She ran off." he said. Randy was disgusted at him to the point that he hit him. Randy punched John and knocked him out.
Randy ran after Anna. He caught her on the other side of the garden.
"I want to go home." she sobbed.
"We can." Randy said. He hugged her and just calmed her down.
Randy and Anna finally went back to the palace. John was glaring at Randy.
"We are leaving." Randy said.
"You promised to stay a month." John said.
"It is not safe here. The princess and I are going home." Randy said.
PRINCESS? Anna thought as she heard this.
"We are leaving in the morning. Good night." Randy said.
Anna, Randy, and her father all left for England the following morning. The peace with France hung in the balance, but no one cared. They wanted to bury Anna's mom and never return to France.
