Emilia paced around Mary's chambers where the Count had locked all of them. All except Greer, who had disappeared during the raid.

"Emilia," Lola pleaded. "Is there anything you can do?"

"I don't know." Emilia admitted. "Usually Ellyana is the one with the plan. I just go along with it. Even Bash would be of more help than me."

"Well Ellyana is currently occupied with Count Vincent." Kenna quipped. "And God knows what they've done with Bash. They've probably locked him up with the guards."

"You say that as if she's in bed with him!" Snapped Emilia. "Ellyana has a reason for every move she makes. She'd never betray us like this."

"Well then where is she?" Kenna challenged. "Is this her plan, Emilia? To hold the princes hostage and leave us for the count to play with?"

"That's enough!" Mary ended their bickering. "All we can do now is keep ourselves safe."

"Perhaps we can find Marque." Lola suggested. "Maybe he can help."

"They would have locked him up with the guards as well." Emilia informed her, absentmindedly playing with her ring. "They've searched the castle for anyone who may appear a threat to them. Knowing Marque, he had his sword out the moment the door opened." He was a great fighter but not a bright strategist.

"There must be something we can do." Aylee said.

"It's a waiting game at this point." Emilia said sadly. Suddenly, the door flew open and Greer stepped into the room, followed by Sam.

"You." He pointed to Emilia. She stepped into the hallway.

"What the hell Sam?" She snapped.

"I'm guarding the princes." Was all he said. He pushed her back into the room and proceeded down the hall.

Emilia looked over to Greer, whom, she noticed, was wearing a kitchen maid's outfit.

"Greer what happened to you?" She asked.

"When the raids began, a kitchen boy pulled me in to protect me." She explained. Emilia could tell there was more to the story but didn't pry. "One of the girls gave me a dress."

"What did he want with you?" Mary asked Emilia.

"What he said doesn't matter." She replied. "The point is, Ellyana does have a plan."
