Good, so here it is. I fast forward after the "evil laugh" part of this chapter. So it'll not be long-winded.
Love Story
Chapter 10:
"Your Majesty, he found out what happened, when he was a kid."
"Good, make sure he stays away from my daughter."
"He already did. He'd hurt her."
"What? Is she all right?"
"No, that's not what I meant. As in, he had hurt her verbally. There is a high chance that that Princess Rachel will be avoiding him."
King Trigon chuckled, "Good. As for your reward, you'll be titled the lead commander for the war. "
Both men let out an evil laugh.

It has been three weeks, Richard and Rachel had not seen each other after what happened that day in the forest. June had passed, and it was almost August now. The stars twinkled brightly in the velvet sky. Rachel stared at the stars, lost in her own mind. The serenity of the night was only broken by the howl of the wind. Everything seemed perfect, but somehow, there was something amiss.
Rachel walked under the gentle glow of the moon which held a mysterious aura. The green leaves swayed from side to side, as if dancing around with their friends. The trees shook forward and backwards, like bowing their heads to the princess. Rachel smiled. She always loved the nature. She closed her amythest eyes and took a deep breath as the wind pass by.
She thought about the past. It was not that Richard had not come to find her. In fact, he did, everyday. But Rachel chose to ignore the fact that he still cared for her. She ran away and went into hiding whenever he came. She is not angry because Richard almost called her a bitch. She just could not believe that Richard accused her of what she did not do. She trusted him so much that she could even put her life on the line for him, and yet, he did not believe her. She knew how he felt when the murderer of his parents were on her father's side, but that did not given him any reason to call her a bitch.
Rachel squeezed her eyes shut and tore off the necklace. She looked at the delicated necklace. Maybe you and I are not meant to be together, I'm sorry. She thrust the necklace out to the lake. Tears rolled down her pale face. She took one last glace at the sparklng water and then walked away, with pain.
Richard knew that she would not see her, so he had been following her the whole time. His heart wrenched when he saw her throwing the necklace into the lake. Why did she not understand me?
He came out of hiding when Rachel left. He scanned at the water. He heard the waves colliding with the rocks. He took in the scent of the salt water. Richard stepped forward the the shoreline. He caught a glimpse of something glittering in between the smooth pebbles. He jogged up to the spot and gasped. He could not believe what he saw.
"W...What the?" He picked the small object up and glaced at it, "How can this be? I... I mean... Didn't she throw it away...?"
His lips turned into an upward curve. Maybe we are really meant to be together, somehow. He hurriedly slipped into Rachel's palace.

"Raven! Raven!"
Rachel looked down from her window, she knew who it was, but she was just curious. She rolled her eyes and went back into her reading. Part of her told her to ignore, but another part told her to forgive and forget.
"Rachel... please... I..."
"Hey! What are you doing here!" The guards glared at Richard. "Get lost!"
Rachel was shocked at the loud booming noise. Her eyes widen and looked down to see what the commotion was about.
A man chuckled darkly as he came out from the shadow, "My poor Richard... Or is it Dick?"
"Shut the hell up, general," Richard scowled.
"Hahaha... Not general anymore, I'm the lead commander now."
"No, Slade. You don't have to tell him so much. Just send his corpse to Bruce."
"F... Father?" Rachel mumbled to herself.
Just then, a few knocks could be heard. Rachel hastily opened the door, but her eyes never leaving the window. "Princess, I have brought you your supper. Princess... Princess? Um...? Princess, are you all right?"
Rachel was interrupted out of her tracne, "Uh... Yea. I just..."
Kori put down the tray of supper on the table and look over to the window and saw King Trigon, Slade Wilson, the guards, and Richard...?
"Oh dear, he's not going to make it pass King Trigon and commander Wilson," Kori sighed as Rachel looked at her.
"Slade..." King Trigon nodded at him.
Slade Wilson grinned. He went up and punched Richard in the gut. Richard was suprised by thee sudden punch and dropped the necklace. He grimaced in pain.
"Aww... Does it hurt? Come, come, come to Daddy Bruce now," Slade mocked. "I thought a prince under Bruce would be strong. Tsk tsk... You are such a disgrace to you father, and his country, a country that is known for their martial arts and hand-to-hand combat skills.
"Yea. I'll show you," Richard tried punching his gut, but he dodged every move. When he was about to mock at him again, Richard finally kicked him straight in the face.
"You know, boy. It's not a good idea to get Slade mad," Slade charged forward and hit him continuously in the cheeks, gut, and chest. Richard spat out some blood and Rachel gasped.
Rachel looked at Kori as if she had two heads. "What?"
"Why aren't you shocked?"
"Oh, Commander Wilson and King Trigon had been doing these brutal acts before you were even born, My Princess," Kori said.
"What am I suppose to do? I mean I can't just let Robin die like this," Rachel panicked.
"I don't know... King Trigon and Commander Wilson are two stubborn men. I don't think anyone can help," Kori shrugged.
"But Robin will die!"
"I thought you said you don't care about him anymore, whether if he is alive or dead," Kori smirked. If it was not about the severity of the situation, Rachel would have laughed.
"Kori..." Rachel glared at her dangerously.
"All right, all right. I'll announce that it is supper then... hopefully... They'll back off..." Kori faltered, not knowing what to say next.
"Yea. It's a good idea, Kori! Then, I'll call someone to send Robin back!"
"Hm... If all is good, may I proceed—"
"Yes, yes. Just hurry!" Kori bowed and then left.
Aww... Raven still has feelings for Robin :)))
