CHAPTER FOUR:
Fred & Daphne rushed to the office, when somone yelled.
"Jones!" It was the head=gaurd. Fred turned aroung the the head-gaurd.
"Yes Sir?" Fred said, in his deep gaurd like voice.
"We're holding an urgent gaurd meeting in our secret spot, the entire kingdom is officialy on lockdown. Take the princess to her office & then come down to the hide out." the head-gaurd said.
"Oh no.." Fred mumbled under his breath trying to make sure Daphne didn't hear.
"Fred! What's happening, why is the castle on lockdown?" Daphne cried, Fred grabbed her arms then looked into her eyes.
"Daph, I don't know what's going on, but, from the looks of it, it's not good. Stay safe & don't let anyone hurt you! I love you with all me=y heart Daphne, remember that." He said kissing her. Tears started to gently flow down her face.
"F-Freddie, a-are you saying g-goodbye?" She whimpered.
"No Daphne, I will come talk to you soon as possible."
"I-I love you Freddie, please be safe." She said.
"I will Daph, you do the same."
"I will." She said as the two broke apart, she walked into the castle office & Fred down the stairs to the secrect meeting. Daphne walked into the room.
"Oh your highness, thank goodness your here, we have urgent news for you." A lady said with papers in her hand.
"What is it?" Daphne asked.
"It's the kingdom, while you were being crowned the princess, on the other side of our country, a war had just begun." Daphne gasped.
"Oh no, this can't be happening...do we have enough men fighting at the moment?" Daphne asked. She was hoping they'd say yes so the chances of Fred being sent would be slim.
"I'm sorry we don't, but, don'r worry princess, the general is being sent along with some other men."
"The general, as in general Jones?" Daphne cried, trying to remail calm.
"Why yes you highness, but, don't worry we'll have another to look after you." Daphne fell onto the sofa that was near by.
"No you can't send general Jones!" She cried.
"Your highness, we must."
"You can't!" She faught, the women looked at the princess, she noticed a sparkling ring on her finger, it had a beautiful diamond in it.
"Your highness, that's a lovely ring, where on earth did you get it?" She asked. Daphne pulled her head up & sniffed then wiped off the tears.
"It's my engagment ring." Daphne whimpered. The women gasped then covered her mouth with her hand.
"Your highness you already know?" She said.
"Know what?" Daphne asked puzzled.
"Oh nothing, I wasn't allowed to say anything..."
"Wait no, please tell me." Daphne said.
"I'm sorry but, you'll be finding out soon enough your highness." The women said.
Down stairs in the secret room was all the gaurds.
"Sir what's going on?" Fred asked.
"Everyone listen up! War has just begun across our country, we need fighters. Now I know no one wants to hear what I'm about to tell them, but, one a few of you will be sent to war." The head-gaurd said, he listed off nine mens names. Fred felt a little bit of peace every name that was called & it wasn't his.
"And last but cerntianly not least, Jones. You will be sent to war at midnight tonight, you must be outside the castle walls ready to leave on the jet." Fred felt like he'd just been stabbed in the heart. He never got to say good bye to the rest of the gang & he'd might never come back to marry the love of his life, Daphne. He couldn't leave her here, all alone. He held back his tears & showed no emotion at all.
"I'm sorry Jones, I know this is hard for you since you are close to the princess." The head gaurd said. Fred fixed his cap. Then looked up at him.
"It's alright Sir, I want to go, so I can protect her. I just hope I make it back for the wedding.." Fred said.
"H-how did you know?" The head-gaurd asked.
"Know what?" Fred asked.
"Well I'm not allowed to tell anyone but, the princess is going to have an arranged marrige, soon. It's the only way she can save our great counrty."
"You mean the princess is going to get married to a prince? While I'm gone?" Fred couldn't believe what he was hearing. He wished so bad that things could go back to how they use to be.
"Yes Jones."
"Well...I-I better go pack my things." Fred said getting chocking on his words. He walked up the stairs & saw Daphne out on the balcony, the moon was shining brightly.
"Daph?" He said, she turned around to the man in uniform, she quickly ran over & hugged him.
"Freddie you can't!" She sobbed into his chest. He held her close to him.
"Daphne, I'm going to come back to you." He said, knowing that the chances were slim.
"What if you don't? We're supposed to get married & live happily ever after Freddie!" She cried. He was shocked Daphne didn't know about the prince yet.
"Daph, I want you to know that no matter what happens I'll always love you. & Daphne I always want you to be happy, as long as your with someone who loves you & wants to protect you, that's all I want but know this much is true, no one will ever ever love you more than I do." He said.
"Freddie you act like I'm going to run off & marry someone else." Daphne said.
"Daphne, just believe what I'm saying & promise you'll do it?"
"I do, & no one can ever love you as much as I love you Freddie!" She said.
"I have to go now.." He said.
"I wish you could stay here with me & we could get married.." She cried.
"Daph, calm down. I will be fine, everything will be okay." He said.
"Promise?" She sniffled.
"I-I can't..I'm sorry.." He said gently giving her one last hug.
"W-what'd you mean?" She said.
"I can't tell you Daphne, just remember what I said, I love you!" He said kissing her. Tears flowed down her face.
"I love you more Freddie, & I won't ever love anyone but, you!" She said as they broke apart & he turned & slowly walked away.
Fred went down to the jet, he looked up at the night sky & saw a bright shining start. Meanwhile Daphne was on the balcony looking up at the same star.
"I love you..." They both whispered.
