Ivan's POV
"I love you too."
I could hear Tanya's voice as I came to.
I opened my eyes and there was nothing. Not a window or anything, just a door on the far side of the room.
"What the hell?" I say as I look around.
It was a large room. With nothing but the chair I was sitting in.
"You are finally awake I see." Said a man as he walked through the door.
"Where the hell am I?"
"Somewhere that no one can find you."
"Who are you?"
"My name is Archana Tagore. I am the leader of rebels against the kingdom." He said walking around me.
"What does that have to do with me?"
"You were in the car with Prince Aslan. We were going to originally take him but…we figured a King such as yourself would make Prince Hayder be more…negotiable with us."
"He can't change the law, no matter what you do to me."
"You may think that but we can be pretty persuasive."
"You don't understand. The kingdom you all were trading with is the enemy of this kingdom for trading secrets of this kingdom to others."
"And that deserves our families to starve to death?"
"Can't you see you all are being unreasonable?"
"Unreasonable…the only one here is being unreasonable is Hayder."
"You can do whatever you want but he will not change the law."
"You say that now, just wait." He said right before he knocked me back out.
Tanya's POV
I woke up early in the morning to people running around the halls.
I looked at the clock.
5:38 a.m.
I got out of bed and opened my bedroom door to see two men standing by the door.
"Excuse me." I said walking out.
"Sorry your majesty but you are not allowed to leave your room." Said the guard on the left of the door.
"What, why not?"
"Orders."
"Get Mikhail please, I wish to speak with him." I said walking back into the room.
A few minutes later there was a knock at my door.
"You called for me?"
"What is going on?" I asked as I looked up from my book.
"Your majesty…"
"Why am I not able to leave my room?"
"It was an order placed by the royal advisor's."
"Why, what is going on?"
"Your majesty…"
"Does it have to do with why I have not heard from Ivan?"
"I was going to wait to tell you later when you had gotten proper sleep." He said with a gloomy look on his face.
"What happened to Ivan?" I said worried.
"He was on his way to the Shaharazal kingdom with prince Aslan when they got ambushed by a group of rebels."
"What?!"
"They told prince Aslan to have Hayder change the recent law of trading with an enemy kingdom to get his majesty back."
"What…the rebels against the Shaharazal kingdom kidnapped Ivan?!"
"Yes."
"Why am I just know hearing about this?"
"With you being in your delicate state…I just wanted to make sure you got plenty of rest."
"Mikhail…what are we doing to find him?"
"We have sent several people over to the kingdom and Shaharazal is also contributing to the search."
"What about his cell phone?"
"It has been turned off so it is not possible to track it. We are monitoring it in case it is turned back on."
I just sat there not saying another word.
I was getting so mad and Ivan for not contacting me and the entire time…it wasn't his fault.
"Has any..anyone found anything?"
"Not yet. I will keep you updated if we do find anything."
"Thank you."
He bowed and left.
I just sat there crying.
I finally grabbed my phone and called the one person I needed now.
After a few hours there was a knock at my door.
"Tanya?" Yosef said as he enetered the room.
"Yosef.." I said through tears.
He walked over and sat next to me.
"Oh Tanya." He said holding me as I cried in his arms.
"And we have not found anything out." I said, telling Yosef everything that has been going on.
"Everything will be alright. He will come home. You know as well as I do that he will do whatever he can to be here for you."
"I know but…I am just afraid that…"
*knock knock*
"Come in."
The door opened and in walked May and all the Princes.
"What are you all doing here?"
"Well, I got a call from Yosef saying what was going on." Said May.
"Then she called me and I picked her up. I called everyone else on my way here." Max said.
"Is there anything new?" May asked.
"No. But they are keeping me updated."
"Well, we all have people going to Shaharazal to help search for him." Said Prince Kevin.
They all nodded in response to his statement.
"Thank you." I said trying to smile at them.
Ivan's POV
I don't know how long I have been in this room.
Days…Months…I had lost track.
I was sitting in the chair when I heard yelling on the other side of the door.
"Get up!" Archana said as he burst through the door.
"Why?"
"Some how they figured out where we are. Let's Go!" he said yanking me up from the chair and tying my hands.
We walked down a long hallway and got to some stairs that went down.
We following the stairs for about 5 minutes and made it to a door.
"You better be quiet." Archana said as he opened the door.
It was pitch black outside.
"Let's go." He said yanking me out the door.
He hand me by the arm and we were running through a bunch of trees.
"Where are we?" I asked.
"Doesn't matter."
After maybe 30 minutes we made it to the edge of the trees and to a highway.
"Freeze!"
I turned around and saw people surrounding us.
"Damnit!" Archana yelled.
"Let King Ivan go!" yelled one of the police.
Archana yanked me toward his body and pulled a knife out.
"Don't come near me." He said panicking.
At the next moment I took all my weight and pushed against him, landing on top of him on the ground.
"Damnit!"
I rolled off him as the police came running up to us.
"Are you ok Your majesty?"
"I'm fine, just get him out of here and me home." I said watching them drag him off.
I went back to the palace and talked with Aslan and Hayder before taking a shower and heading back home.
When I arrived home everyone was waiting for me.
"It is good to have you home your majesty." Said Mikhail.
"It is good to be home. Where is Tanya?"
"She is…follow me." He said smiling as he lead the way upstairs and to the room next to ours.
"She is in here." He said opening the door.
The door opening and Tanya was facing the window.
"Tanya?" I said walking in.
"Ivan?" She said surprised as she turned around.
When she turned around she was holding a little baby girl.
