A/N: I only own OCs

Thank you to everyone who has reviewed. I never expected this many people to like and follow this story. Thank you for all the support.

Dean POV

I heard Grace when Brie was brought on the stage. She gasped and was looking around. I couldn't make eye contact with her. I felt so bad, but this had to be done. She was caught with Magnus. I had given them the lightest sentence I could. I knew that my father wanted me to have both of them killed.

"Dean! Stop this!" Grace hissed, but I couldn't look at her.

THey lead Brie up and strapped her to the pole. I heard commotion as the person started to flog Brie. I saw Grace fighting to get to her. She was struggling and was removed from the area. I saw her father, Eva, and AJ come following behind her. My father looked pissed, but my mother was unreadable. I looked over to see Seth and Justin. They both looked upset at the proceeding; I felt trapped.

Grace POV

I was taken back to my room and given a sedative. My father sat with me until I cried myself a sleep. I had horrible dreams… I wanted to help Brie. I sat up l ayer and saw Tamina and Paige watching the country's news station. I saw Brie on stage, she looked scared, and upset. I couldn't believe that she had done that, but I knew that she didn't want to be with Dean. I just never imagined that she was going to be with Magnus. She had become my best friend.

"Lady Grace, do you need anything?" Paige asked me when she saw me awake.

"Where is my father?" I asked them and they both gave me a hard look.

"Where is he?!" I screamed at them. I was already having a bad a day and I didn't want anymore crap.

"I'm right here, Grace." he said as he walked into the room. He looked as if something bad had happened to him.

"What's wrong, Dad?" I asked him.

"I have to go home." he said and I was confused. They were supposed to stay at least 2 more days.

"Why?" I asked him.

"I just got a phone call a little while ago… it's your mother." he said and I felt my breath hitch.

"What happened?" I asked him.

"She's very ill. She had a heart attack." he said and I felt my mind shatter all over again.

"I want to go with you." I said and Dad shook his head.

"No, Grace, you need to stay until this is done." he said and I felt tears falling down my face.

"No, I want to see mom!" I cried and he hugged me.

"You are going home for a week, but you must come back." a voice said and I turned to see the Queen. I quickly wiped my tears and curtseyed.

"Stop that." she said and hugged me.

"Paige and Tamina, get ready her ready. Paige, you aren't married so you will be accompanying her." she told them. I gasped and looked at Paige.

"Tamina, go get Mr. Savages' things ready." she said and Tamina rushed out of the room.

"I do need a word with Grace." The queen said and everyone made themselves scarce.

I was left alone with the Queen. I had no idea what was happening… everything was still a blur.

"I am sending you home, but you have to come back. Dean loves you and he needs you. I need you to come back because you are the future. You have to win this." she said as I sniffled.

"I can't… the king hates me. I also made an ass out of myself." I said and she smirked.

"I don't care about the king. I care about my son, and yes, you did… but you showed the people that you care about more than yourself." she said and hugged me.

We finished and Stephanie walked in with Aj and Eva behind her. They all hugged me.

"You are leaving?" Eva asked me.

"I am going home for a week. I will be back." I said and they nodded.

"Please come back… none of us can do this except you." AJ said and I smiled at her.

Dean POV

I watched as the motorcade took Grace, her father, Paige, and a few guards to the airport. I had sent Justin with them knowing their past, but I needed to trust her.

"You should have made her go home permanently." a voice said and I knew that it was my father without turning around.

"No, I love her." I said as I watched the cars disappear out the gate.

"You don't know what love is." he said with a scoff.

"And you have lost your touch at being king." I said as I felt a sharp sting in my back.

"You have to take her punishment since you won't allow me to send her home." father said and he was seething.

I took off my shirt and turned my back to him. I knew that the last lashings had just healed, but I knew that Grace was worth this.
