Blitz's POV

I quickly just opened the door...each door...until I saw...I saw...One of the attendants...ripping the sleeves off of...I quickly pulled him off of her.

"Brianna?" I was so shocked, as she was on the floor. How...why would she do...No way...No way in hell she was do this.

That Weasel face attendant, which is what I call him, Weasel. He looked so shocked, as he was fastening his pants back up. I didn't...I just couldn't get over the shock... when Brianna just pinned him to the ground, and...just punched him a few times, not like the guy wasn't bloodied up already before.

"YOU ASSHOLE! I'LL KILL YOU! YOU NO GOOD BASTARD!" Her clothes were in shredded up pretty bad, she had to hold the middle part up to keep her chest from showing. She gave him on good kick before I pulled her off of him, "I'LL RIP YOUR WORTHLESS *BEEPING* HEAD! LET ME GO! LET ME GO!" She just burst into tears, I never seen anything like that. It made my heart ached, for her to be crying.

"Shush...shush...it's ok." I held the back of her head and she winced.

"He pushed me into a wall. I had to fight blacking out...but...but..." She whispered

and cried harder.

"Sire...I can explain...the lady and I was just having a bit of fun-"

It wasn't until...It finally...really hit me at what he was trying...what was he about to do if I hadn't... I lost it.

"How dare you! How dare you hurt her!"

"Sire, she said she wanted it...rough-" I punched him, I don't know what came over me, but seeing Brianna, her clothes torn apart, she looking just...terrible...crying and about ready to kill this man...I just couldn't stop punching him, I even pinned him down...punching him over and over. I had to be pulled off by Boomer.

"Calm down, he's not worth it," Boomer said, " Someone else needs your attention." I looked behind me, Brianna's eyes were slowly rolling back in her head as she was about ready to collapse. I jumped up and caught her just in time, "You should take her to the Castle's Doctor, make sure she's ok."

"Bastard, if she dies from her injury, there's nothing to protect you from me." I was ready to storm off, "Wait, if she's here, I'm sure the Morbucks are here. Tell them what happened but be discreet...and that she can stay here for as long as she like." I said, shocking Boomer but I glared at the attendant, "And get this filthy worm out of my sight...before I kill him myself."

I carried Brianna to the Castle Doctor, Mojo, she was lying on the bed.

"You're lucky...very lucky...If she hurt her head anymore like that...it could have been fatal...very fatal...yes indeed. You're lucky lucky guy, best thing...is rest...and oranges."

Mojo just scurried off, crazy Monkey Fauna, but nothing made me happier to hear that she'll be ok. I held Brianna's hand as she was sleeping peacefully, like a beauty queen. I heard that there was knocking on the door. It was Boomer, he ran into the room and hid behind the curtains.

"It's the Morbucks."

I wouldn't blame him for hiding but I just sighed and walked towards the door, I opened and closed it right behind me. Lady Morbucks and Her girls plus Auntie Sarah was there.

"Oh my word, one of the attendants said that there was an accident." Auntie Sarah asked, "Is the poor dear alright?"

"Yeah, she just bumped her head really badly." I lied, I didn't want to make a big fuss, plus...it could mess Brianna up later on.

Princess came right up to me, "Oh no, well Brianna be alright...she is my personal maid, and...I would love to stay by her side while she recovers...she wouldn't feel right without me."

"No...no...no...Dr. Mojo said that she just needs rest, and to stay here and she probably won't be...comfortable if you're here. She might insist that she serves you and stuff."

"Isn't that the Fauna Doctor? I'm sorry your majesty but I insist we take her home to our private doctor, and she should stay with her grandmother, she's all the poor dear has now, and I know she'll be worried." Lady Morbucks smiled but I shook my head.

Queen Sarah said, "Lady Morbucks, I'm sorry but it is for the best, if Mojo said she should stay then she should stay. We will personally send her back as soon as she is better. I hope you'll honor me with another tea party soon."

Lady Morbucks just bowed, and the girls soon walked off with Aunt Sarah escorting them except for the blonde one.

She grabbed my hand and bowed to it, "Your Grace, please take good care of her and thank you so much for always being so good to her." She suddenly looked around and smiled at me, " Ya know, Brianna is a very sweet girl, she's just afraid to show it because...well...not many people ever been nice to her. Especially men...she just doesn't trust them. But you...Your Grace...and please allow me to speak out of term."

"Go on."

"I hope I can say this-"

"Countess!" Lady Morbucks yelled.

"Coming Mother, well I must be going," The girl smiled at me.

"I'll escort you, and you can freely speak."

"Thank you, Your Grace, you've made her happy, no matter how tough she may act, you really make her happy and that's what upsets her. She feels that...because of your 'position' she thinks...well..and this ball...that she could never be anything more to you. I hope it's not true. I don't mean to assume but If you only see her as a possible Misstress or a consort, then...she'll never do it and it'll break her heart."

I blushed as I cleared my throat, "What if...I don't see her that way? What if...I see her as something else."

She had a smile, she was truly a beauty as well...I can't believe she's a...Wait a minute, "Well then, I hope so, because I hate to see her hurt...ever again. And I'll never forgive you if you break her heart again."

"Again?"

Countess had a deadly look, it didn't fit her but she gave me a glare, "Yes, Your Grace, when you didn't tell her who you were. She told me...she said she had to find out that you weren't a servant but the High Grand Duke. She'll never tell anyone this and she tried to hide it, but her eyes were red and puffy. She was crying. I don't like lying Your Grace, I really don't...unless it was for good reason...unless it was for someone's protection...but I kinda understand why but...please don't let her cry like that again."

I bowed, and now I understood...not just that but...Boomer as well...

"You truly care about her, you honor me...but I was afraid, being fifth in line...Women lie to you...some are two face...and majority just want to be in the Royal Family and not care one bit about you. I've seen it. My father...loved my mother...he really did...but she was in it for the title. She...she cheated on him," I stopped myself, "What I'm trying to say is, I wasn't trying to hurt her. I just wanted to be love for me...not my Status and Title. I only hope, you see that one day as well." I bowed at her and kissed her hand. I wasn't saying that just for me...

I've seen first hand what these loveless marriages can do, my father died of a broken heart.

I walked back towards the room and saw Boomer sitting inside. When I nodded the coast was clear, he came out of the room.

"Tell me, why are you avoiding Countess Morbucks?"

He looked down at the ground, guilty, "Well..."

I smiled at him, and patted him on the back, "At first, I thought it was Princess and Duchess but since we seem to but falling for the girls with the same hair color and eyes...except Beast with his Silver hair but he almost have the same color eyes...that's when I thought...maybe the over looked but stunningly beautiful Countess Morbucks with her sweetness."

"She is stunningly beautiful, and just as beautiful on the inside. She's marvelous, I saw her two years ago at the Ball at the Castle and dance with her until dawn...I wanted to meet her again..last year I finally had the guts to meet her but...I slipped up...I gave her a fake name because I was so scared. I even freaked her out over some worms on purpose...so that she would hate me...

Flashback and Boomer's POV

Countess was crying and screaming up a storm. It was night time and in the enchanted woods.

"Wait please don't cry!" I threw the worm away, "See it's gone."

Bubbles stopped crying but had this teary eye look, " How could you be so mean? I thought you were nice...you were nice at the Winter's Ball."

"I'm sorry, I wasn't...I'm sorry."

"Ok...apology accepted as long as you don't do something like that again."

"Yes of course...I promise...Countess..."

"Oh no Lord Seabastian, you may call me Bubbles...it's my nickname."

"It suits you, you're always so bubbly." I laughed. We spent a night in the woods, of course Bubbles wasn't the smartest but she made me feel go about myself. I felt horrible lying to her when I know she hates it. I tried to visit every other night.

One night, I came went to the Enchanted Woods, and she was there..crying.

"Bubbles, Bubbles what's wrong?"

"Oh Sebastian, it's terrible...our new maid...and Daddy...She's pregnant and Everyone acts like its nothing, it's horrible. She was fired and she needed that job so bad. My mother was so mad at me when I pleaded for her to keep her job. Mother said, she wondered how could she ever have a weakling for a daughter and my sisters make fun of me." Bubbles was still crying, "I hate being in that house...I hate it."

"Bubbles, it can't be all bad."

She calm down a bit, "Well no, I have really good friends...There's Brianna...Blossom...and Belle...and my Cousin Buttercup...except she doesn't know yet. Mother doesn't even know about her and I don't want her to. Mother will destroy her. But...but...Mother calls me the black sheep...the outsider. Duchess said I was probably adopted but Daddy sai I wasn't...I just look a lot like the Quell family and Mother hates them."

"The Quell?"

"Yeah, Mother is from the Lower Class family, The Qualls who were mostly baronets and Knights, and the Quells were Countess, and I looked like Marquise Marigold de la Quell. And she hated her and Countess Magnolia the most. I'm such a disappointment."

My heart was breaking at Bubbles saying that, I just hugged her, "You are not a disappointment. You're the sweetest and purest thing ever. One day, you're gonna go further than your mother and sisters-"

She hugged me back and looked up at me, "I don't care about that stuff, I don't care about marrying up in the ranks. I can't stand it, Daddy cheating on Mother, blaming her for not giving him a son. I'll marry do love...I want to be love and love someone." She gave me this weird look, "Sebastian."

"Bubbles, wait-"

She kissed me...square on the lips and I lost track of time. She broke it off and I thought, Damn...best night ever.

"There, I finally did it. Sorry if you thought I was being bold. But I couldn't take it anymore." Bubbles was blushing.

End of Flashback back to Blitz's POV

"I just don't know what to do. I promise that I would marry her...and I want to. She's perfect...she's my match...but...but what if I tell her and she hates me. I don't think I could bare that."

"Boomer, she is gonna find out, at the ball maybe. It's better if she hears it from you. Trust me."

"I know, damn."

Boomer walked off, and I went back into the room. Brianna woke up two hours later.

"Good afternoon, Princess." I greeted her, she had the cutest angry/ shock face, "You're so cute. Oh and by the way, the maid brought you some more clothes from the Queen herself. I suggest you hurry up and change."

"Why?"

"Because your clothes...are falling off, even through...you won't hear me complaining." I winked and she looked down, there was a rip in front of her chest, her cleavage was pretty much showing and so was her belly button.

"YOU ASS!"

"You should be nicer to the guy who just talk you into a day off. Now change." I said as I left the room, a maid was about to take her a tray of food but I volunteered to take it to her, I went back into room and was...well...I nearly dropped the tray. She was beautiful, wearing a long black dress, big puffy white sleeves and the dress was cut in the middle to reveal white underneath.

"What? This is way too fancy for me, I look ugly." She sadly smiled, holding the remains of her other dress, "Maggie worked so hard on this dress for me." She was about to cry.

I quickly walked to her, and held her head up, she had a nasty cut on her lip, "Oh no...no...you look beautiful."

"Don't lie to me, I almost lost a fight. That jackass almost had the upper hand."

I was surprised, I grabbed her by the shoulders, "So he didn't...he really didn't. I mean I'm sure you wouldn't let him but-"

"He didn't ok. Can we not talk about it?" She just started crying and I hugged her, " But he was close...he was so close...I was so dizzy and thought I was gonna pass out but I kept fighting...and he still almost over powered...I couldn't even concentrate on summoning my wand...I thought...If I see that bastard-"

"Shhhhh...you won't. I gave that Weasel two choices, a Duel for your honor or flee the Kingdom." I kissed her forehead, " Now then, the Doctor said you should take it easy and rest. So how about...a date? Butch was researching it and it seems interesting. So how about it? "

"M'Lord..." She looked up at me.

"Blitz...and you can't talk yourself out of this."

"Alright then, and I wouldn't mind."

"Just like that, alright."

"Anything shady and I'll break you. Understand?"

"Yes, yes, fine. Now come along, Princess." I cheered and she planted a kiss on my cheek.

Buttercup's POV

I couldn't wait to see the game, Ashila was two hours away and to the north, which I never been. The city was...big and busy. New Town Shire and Clint town were small villages compare to this. You couldn't even stand on the streets for too long with all the carts and carriages going through. Belle just couldn't contain her excitement, it was the first time I saw her without Mina.

"Well, Cupie, someone had to do the chores...that way...it looks like we just left early...but I miss Mina and Jackie...cooking with out me," Belle whispered, but then she looked at Beast, "Isn't he just adorable? He's getting cuter, too. At this rate, he'll be cuter than a pumpkin."

"And Bricky is such a jock...he likes to train and play sports. He just loves to play the game keep away." Blossom sighed, she leaned against a stall and knocked down all the stuff off the stall, "Oh no. I'm so sorry."

Belle was still jumping up and down, when Beast came back, he bowed, "I believe ladies that our seats awaits, "He was blushing as he pulled out a purple flower, "For you my Jewel."

"Hurray! Another flower! C'mon, time for seating and then tea party."

Brick had his hands in his pockets and was blushing while looking away, "Here. It's called candy I heard you like sweets. You can only get this in Ashlia." He handed her a this pink swirly candy on a stick in the shape of a heart, "Its called a Lollipop."

Blossom just sighed lovingly and grabbed it, "Thank you."

"Oh whoa, can't beat those huh?" I was holding Fang and looking at Butch, "I don't want a gift ok."

"Oh...my is at the end of our date."

"Do we have to call it a date? Can't we just say...anything but a date, it's embarrassing."

"If being on a date with such a Lovely person such as yourself is embarrassing, then prepare to be embarrassed then. Now c'mon, it's time for our date to officially start Black Rose."

Sorry got carried away again
