"Come as my betrothed."

The executioner, who was oblivious to the commotion continued as if nothing happened. The crowd stared in awe as he went in the last inch.

–JON'S POV–

The last few seconds seemed to take hours but as the tip of the blade reached Alanna's throat nobody seemed to breathe. For a split second, I didn't think that the spell had worked but the next second the executioner had been knocked out cold.

King Roald sat in his room with his head in his hands when there was a knock at the door.

"Who is it," he called tiredly.

"Your son, Prince Jonathan of Conte," came the reply.

"Come in Jon." At that the Prince came sauntering into the room.

"Jon, do you have any idea of what happened at midday today?"

"Actually Father, I do."

King Roald's eyes widen. "You wha-"

"Yes Father, I do," Jon interrupted. "In fact, that was me, Prince Jonathan of Conte, who cast that spell. But do you have any idea why, father?"

The King of Conte stared at him horrified.

"I did this because I think that there is a better solution to this dilemma. I think that instead of sentencing Alanna to death you should have sent her to the Convent."

"Why would I do that? That isn't a punishment," the King finally managed to say.

"Because I know that Alanna would rather die than go to the Convent."

"Then why do you think I should send her to the Convent," he asked Jonathan. Then after a pause he asked another question. "And why did you say that 'for she'll someday be my wife!'?"

"I'm afraid that the only reason I have for that is that, I love her." Jonathan whispered.

"D'you think I want to be a lady?"

-Alanna of Trebond-
