Hey, sorry the last one took so long, I just forgot how amazing it was to hear from you peoples! So here's the next chapter!

Also, a thank-you to go out to the advice of Lady of Spring Rain. Thank-you! If you see anything else that needs to be checked feel free to tell me. Yet again, flames are welcome, as long as you tell me what's wrong with it! Thank-you to all. =D

Previously: He opened the scroll, read it, again, then looked up and glared over at me.

"Edward, what is it?" I demanded from him, while he just continued to glare.

"I'm sure you already know! How long has your family been planning this? Was it set up before or after our marriage?" He exclaimed as he turned on his heel and started marching off of the field.

"What are you talking about? Turn around and face me!" I yelled after him as I tried to run to keep up with his long legs. I kept tripping until suddenly he spun and I knocked into him. "Just tell me what it is!"

"Not like you didn't know", he said as he threw the scroll onto the ground and strode off. I didn't bother trying to give chase, for the scroll was here, plus, he was also way too far away.

I bent down and grabbed the scroll, then hurried away from the quizzical gazes of the men.

I scurried through corridor upon corridor until I came to my chambers. I closed the door and held the scroll in front of my face.

I looked down at the dirty scroll, not truly wanting to know what lay hidden behind its broken seal.

I hesitantly started to roll it open and started to read.

Edward,

Raiding parties from Spain have been attacking our borders for the past few weeks. Their armies are becoming increasingly sporadic and unpredictable. We cannot set up a base for they burn it to the ground before the base is constructed.

Everyone knew we would have to eventually have to face Spain. That was just an encroaching displeasure. The thing that truly irks me is their allies, the French. It seems your marriage was just a ploy for a shallow trust. The Spanish and French have been working out war plans throughout the winter. Unless we find an ally worth having by our side, we might not be able to fight them off.

We need you to ready your entire army and march by the end of the week. Go to the South-Western Border. General McCarty will be waiting, you will corroborate with him until I have more definite orders for either of you. Build a fort and name it what ever takes your fancy.

Sincerely,

The King of England, Carlisle

By the end of the letter I was completely speech

less. No wonder Edward was outraged. My parents had betrayed him and his parents. And he thought I had helped plan it. How could my parents set me up, and disgrace themselves?

I had to find Edward and get him to understand I didn't have anything to do with this. He won't believe me, but I have to try.

I sprinted into the hall, through corridors until I found someone. I asked quickly where I could find him and I set off again. They said he would be in the barracks preparing his men and doing ration counts.

I hurried towards his location and arrived some eight minutes later.

Some of the men gawked at my audacity, but I didn't care. I walked on, barging into his office.

"Do you really believe I have something to do with this?" I asked quickly before he could tell me to get out.

"Can you prove you don't?"

"No, you have to trust me!" This really is a futile attempt.

"Your parents have really helped me realize all people deserve trust, didn't they? Just because of this, I believe you can control my soldiers. I trust you that much. Or would you be like your parents and make them traitorous?" How could he?

"You impudent ass! You have no proof against me and I have no evidence to defend myself. Who knows even you could have helped? Would you still like to go on and say that I'm guilty, too? Who knows, maybe he's in on it as well?" I screamed as I pointed to one of his commanders in a corner of the room, who looked extremely uncomfortable.

He stared at me for a second and then resigned, "I was rude and out of place, will you forgive me Bella?"

I was to shocked to answer at the moment.

This is my shortest chapter, but I wanted to post and I have to go, so please give me feedback!
