Chapter 4: The Siege
The time had come for the Princess to take control of Albion and overthrow her tyrannical brother Logan. Ben couldn't stop worrying about the Princess, after all he had upset her a few hours ago and now she had spoken a word to anyone since.
He was staring at her as she gazed at the shore of Bowerstone with no expressions gracing her beautiful face. Her ocean coloured eyes were dimmed and set with determination of the coming assault.
The plan was set and when everything began it truly began a new age for Albion.
Cannon fire from both battlements and opposing ships staggered their landing but eventually they made it onto the beach. Walter and the Princess led the attack and all Ben could do was try and keep up with them. The Princess for her part was soaring through the enemy soldiers loyal to Logan and cutting them down like dust in the wind.
The battle took most of the night, the Princess shouting orders to their own men and commanding her other companions when they all met up at the centre of town.
"From here we charge the castle and take Logan down." Her voice was steeled and even though everyone had their doubts about her fighting her own brother, nobody said anything not even Walter.
The Princess ran at full speed charging her lightning bolts at the Elite guards and finishing them off with her long sword. Ben was about it pursue after her when Walter grabbed his sleeve and pulled him backwards.
"Don't get too close to her; she's got to do this on her own." Walter's voice wasn't filled with concern, only understanding.
"But Walter she can't go in alone!" He shouted at his older friend over the roaring flames and screams of the dying soldiers.
"Rosa can take care of herself. Besides it is her brother after all. How would you feel?" Walter just looked at him with his stone grey eyes before letting Ben's sleeve go and chasing after the Princess.
Despite the importance of Walter's words all Ben could think about was 'Her name is Rosa.' He snapped himself out of it and ran after the two most important people in his life.
When they eventually made their way into the courtyard, Ben found that he couldn't go any further. He knew that if he saw Logan he would cut him down right then with no trial for what he did to Major Swift and the rest of Albion. Naturally he made a joke about her crown fitting and waited where when he next saw Rosa, she would no longer be a Princess but his Queen.
