"Fiona look. I've been thinking. And you're right-" The king asked walking into the barren bedroom. "Fiona?" He walked deeper into the room to spot a letter at the foot of the bed. "What's this?" King Joshua asked picking up the paper

Dear daddy,

If you are reading this then i have already left the kingdom with Marshall Lee. I love you but you need to understand that I'm not a little girl anymore and i need to explore the things I've watched outside my window everyday. I give up my title as princess. I know you wish to have me rule when I'm older but if you can't let me explore outside of what i can rule then i don't see any way i can rule the kingdom knowing my father can't trust me outside the kingdom he trusts me to rule. Marshall and i will be traveling from kingdom to kingdom. I've made the assistant general the new general of the army. You won't find cake because I've brought her with me. I know there are so many emotions probably going through you right now but you need to understand, i love you so much. But i need to be able to be set free. Just like how i love you, i love Marshall. He may seem like the criminal type but he's really protective, funny, and really makes me happy. I hope to see you again daddy, when you finally understand that this is What i choose. Mom would have chosen the same.

Love you always and forever,

Fiona, the FORMER princess

the king Sat on the bed with tears building up in his soft eyes. "This is all my fault." He whispered. He knew what he did was wrong. That he drove his daughter away. "When did all of this start?" He asked himself

~flashback~

"You can't catch me daddy! You can't catch me!" Cheered the small child with beautiful golden hair.

"Oh yes i can. Come here!" Said the king as he scooped her up and ran around with the child on his shoulders.

Soon he put her down on the ground as he caught his breath. He spotted his daughter standing at the gate. She was watching a pink boy dressed in fancy clothes and a red headed boy in normal, yet shades of red, t-shirt and shorts play frisbee at a far distance from the gate to not notice her but her about to clearly see them.

"Daddy can i go play with them? They look like fun to play with." The small child asked bouncing up and down still holding onto the gate.

"No Fiona you can't. Sorry. But you're too young to leave the kingdom. Maybe when you're older." The king said kneeling down next to her.

"But daddy it looks like a fun adventure. And they don't look mean." Fiona protested.

"I'm sorry honey but ten year old girls can easily get hurt. Maybe you can write one of them a letter. Why don't we go back home to mommy and you can play with cake?" King Joshua asked.

"Ok daddy." Fiona said as she skippedhome with the king following behind in a steady walk.

When they returned, Fiona immediately ran to her mother, who was very sick, and told her about the boys she saw outside the kingdom.

"That's great honey." Said her mother who caressed Fiona's head.

"I'm going to write one of them a letter." Fiona cheered. "I wanted to go play with them but daddy wouldn't let me. Saying I'd get hurt or some biz." The queen giggled at her daughter's humorous vocabulary.

"He was probably just *cough* looking out for you. If i was there I'd open the gate right away So you can make some real friends. Not that cake isn't your friend." The queen replied. "Now why don't you go write that letter. It's time for mommy's rest now."

"Ok mommy." Fiona replied back.

"Oh and Fiona" The queen called her daughter back. "I want you to have this. I was going to give it to you when you were older but i believe you are old enough now to use it. It was mine when i was *cough* young and i want you to have it." The queen handed her slowly and shaky a red and blue sword with the kingdom crest on the handle. "Protect the kingdom my little adventurer" Her mother whispered before drifting to sleep.

"Come princess. Your mother needs her rest." Said one of the maids guiding the child out of the bedroom. Fiona nodded and ran to her room to write one of the boys a letter and show off her sword to her daddy

~flashback over~

The king mentally cursed himself. he wished he could have gone back and let her meet them. But now his daughter was with some boy he knew nothing about. How would he be able to run the kingdom? How would the army be and to fend against attacks. No one was as near better then Fiona. Soon dragons would attack, the ice kingdom would invade, crimes would sprout up again. He had to find her and convince her to come back before anything happened. Even if it meant himself leaving the kingdom to search every inch of the land to find his daughter. He wiped away the tears and walked out still clutching the letter.
