Isabella's POV

"… and that's how it happened." I finished. I skipped over the part where he was an assassin. Instead I told her that he was being unbearably rude, and that I didn't really want to talk about it. What? It's not like I could just make up some fight in a matter of seconds!

I try my best not to think about him. We had such a great friendship. But I did just have to let it all out. It was hard enough just to keep my meetings with him a secret. The only thing that actually controlled me was being able to see him in itself, but now…

She nodded. She was a bit shocked by the story. "But, but what about he prince? Isn't that- isn't that cheating?" she gasped. Then realized she was talking to the princess, and immediately apologized for being rude/ judgmental and whatnot.

I didn't mind. I understood the question entirely. But the truth was, I didn't know. I actually had to think for a moment, and finally knew what to say.

"Well, we were just friends. Although, I'm afraid had we been friends muchlonger, it would have become cheating." I said, a bit regretful that I chose to be completely honest there.

She nodded. "So… did you- did you like him?"

I thought again. This time, I did not speak though. I closed my eyes and quickly nodded, hoping this conversation would end soon.

"Ohhh…"

"What about you? Do you have a boyfriend?"

She looked a bit surprised I asked her such a question, a personal one.

"Well, yes. He's a servant boy here too."

Aww. How sweet.

"Aww. What's his name?"

"His name? Oh it's Daniel." she said, a bit hurriedly.

"Oh, I do remember a Daniel working in the kitchen."

She nodded quickly.

"You know," I started off with, "I'm not sure if I want to go through with the weddi-"

"NO!" she shouted. Then her eyes grew large and she covered her mouth up, apparently in shock of her outburst.

"What?"

"It's just- your parents would be very angry, you wouldn't become queen, and Baljeet wouldn't become king." she said, facing away.

I nodded, knowing it was the responsible choice. I had to, even if I didn't want to. But hey, it's not like Phineas, or anyone like him, would ever come in my life again.

That night…

Phineas's POV

Oh no! I must alert the princess. But what if she gets angry? What if she calls the guards? So much could go wrong! But, it's for her safety, so I must.

'Its better to die with honor than die like a coward'

There went her voice, ringing in my head again. I hear that almost every other minute. It's maddening- and a bit depressing. Things haven't felt this urgent since I left the cave.

Flashback

I quickly, but quietly, dash out of the cave. But apparently, I had a bit of a surprise waiting for me. Two rather large men. That's what. One of them grabbed me out of nowhere, covering my mouth. The other came to me, holding a sword. Instantly, I understood. I had been seen. That's what was happening. Now, he sent thugs out for me.

Now, he didn't take into account that I'm a master assassin. With great ease, I duck out of the first man's grasp. The other one didn't see that coming, and, well, killed his friend in the process.

His eyes grew wide in shock. He looked ready to drop by his side, but realized I was still here.

"Why you little-!" he shouted, a bit too loud.

I already had my sword out, and was swinging it towards him. He put his out, to defend my hit. The duel continued like this, until I finally knocked the sword out of his hand, and slashed him.

End of Flashback

Anyways, I have to- have to, - tell her. It's a matter of life or death.

Man, the climb up to her window NEVER gets easier.

I can see her now. There, sitting on her bed. Previously, she was gazing out the other window, facing away from me. Luckily, she left her window open. I was afraid I'd have to knock, in which case she probably wouldn't let me in. In other words, I lucked out.

I quickly jump in, startling the princess. She jumps slightly, then turns. Once she sees me, her eyes grow to the size of dinner plates. Immediately, her face turns red with anger, and she opens her mouth- probably to yell at me.

I quickly jump up, cover her mouth, and pin her down. What, she scared me? I suppose my assassin skills just kinda jumped in.

Within a second, I already see panic in her eyes. It looks like her life's being threatened or something. Well, I guess if I were in her position, I'd feel the same way.

I keep my hand over her mouth, and help her up. She seems glad to be up, but still looks distastefully at my hand.

"I'm sorry princess, but I had reason for coming here." I whisper.

She grabs my hand and pushes it out of the way.

"What, to kill me early?!" she whispers, now more angry than ever before.

Now, there a distinct amount of sadness in my eyes.

"No- of course not!" I whisper, partially in defense and partially in complete hurt.

"Oh. Then why?!" she whispers, never losing her angry tone.

"I came to warn you. Someone's planning your d-"

"My death? Huh. I wonder what that feels like? Someone close to you planning to kill yo-"

I couldn't stand it.

"Princess!" I whisper.

Her head picks up a bit. "What?! Can't handle the fact you were going to kill me!" she says. Now, her hand is at her side, moving ever so slightly.

"No, and I'm not going I kill you. But there is-" I say, but abruptly stop. She leapt up, and tackled me. Now I see what her hand was fiddling with. She apparently was carrying a knife around, and quickly took it. Now, it was hovering above me, never leaving her tight grasp. She stabs it downwards, but I quickly roll to my side. Then, she gasps in horror at what she was doing. She only meant to attack if he either threatened her or was physically attacking her. Never did she think she was doing this. While in her state of shock, I knocked it out of her hand, and flipped ourselves over. Now, I was pinning her down, afraid she'd attack again. But I did so gently, so she wouldn't be afraid.

"I'm-I'm sorry Phineas, I didn't mean to- wait. I'm not apologizing. Who knows how many people you've killed?! Why aren't I screaming for help?! Fine! I'll be quiet. But keep in mind, I can have a whole lot of guards here in a matter of seconds!"

I nod, a bit gravely.

"Listen to me. I'm not going to kill you. Okay? But I found out someone who will. He called the assassins in the first place. He lives in the castle. His name- is Prince Baljeet."

Isabella's POV

I can't believe I ever cared for him. Even a little. He's probably laughing at me, planning my murder. Oh wait, he already did that. That Phineas! First, he makes fun of me, pretending to be my friend. Now he's framing one of the few people I have left. The nerve!

"I'm going to start screaming now!" I said, giving him a couple of seconds. His hand frantically covers my mouth. My muffled scream comes out, but not loud enough. I do something, a bit desperate, but albeit it should work. I bite his hand. Hard. He didn't really expect it, so his hand flew away; as he winced in pain. I grabbed both his hands to ensure he wouldn't try it again. I open my mouth to scream again, but the clever dog looked at me panicked, and did what I never expected he would.

Phineas's POV

Okay, so she just hit my hand insanely hard. As I jumped back, she grabbed both my hands and was about to scream again. If I weren't so afraid right now, I'd probably blush from our closeness. Then, it hit me. The perfect plan. She won't be able to scream. It's risky, and downright mean, but it is foolproof. I lean down and kiss her. She doesn't do anything, but I can see her eyes wide open in shock. She just lies still, not moving a muscle. After a few moments, which I will never admit that I found slightly enjoyable, I jumped up and landed on the windowsill. I quickly whispered, "I'm not lying about Baljeet. Just think about it, it'll make sense." and jumped out the window. As I landed on the tree, I found that I couldn't help but smile.
