You Can Wear the Crown but You're No Princess

"They're alive and are captured and are currently eating breakfast upstairs" green energy began to film the room in a spiral around Emil." Now I'm about to show you something few people get to see and it is the real reason I lead the rebellion" Emil opened his eyes and there were no pupils only a bright green light as the image of millions of different colored strands began to appear" this is how I know what each and every one of my armies actions are. These strands allow me to view every single majick user and view through them for instance " Emil reached for a bright pink one " this is yours" now Firstly I did not kill you as I trained my army to believe in capture over kill and kill only when necessary. However your father has seemed to add a few majick users into his group and I know this because," Emil lifted his shirt," they gave me these scars and he point at several of the scars on his stomachs that had arranged glowing" secondly I did not kill you because I actually like you and you can be a good person and maybe see that we're not here to harm. Also there is a chance that with this ability we can find the person that killed you..." His voice trailed off weakened and Emil fell face forward onto the floor and began shaking.

"Emil!" Erika screamed and ran over to him pulling his body in her arms. "Please don't," she sobbing and the pink air covered him. She tried to remember anything of healing that she could. "Emil," she tried to hold him close to her and focus.

The pink most surrounded him and slowly stopped the trembling emils eyes returned to normal " thanks" he said weekly and tried to pick himself up but couldn't" it happens when I use that specific spell it takes so much power but I needed to show you why my army won't do those things because if they do I cut their tie to the majick center and poof no more majick... Ever. I don't like doing it but it's necessary sometimes and ... Sorry I ramble even when I should take it easy " he smiled at Erika

Without even thinking Erika kissed his forehead. "Don't scare me like that," she breathed. "How did you learn you could do that?"

"I was in the middle of a battle and someone went missing so I focused hard on finding them and then I got the idea. What if I focused on their majick since all peoples majick is unique to the person hence why you can't give back a persons majick when it is removed. So I found them that way and not just them I found every single majick user that currently lives I think. It was really an accident more than anything"

"Wow," she began running her hands through his hair. "I'm sorry about my out burst earlier. I had just woken up and was confused, but I guess now we both know I feel something for that is more than just wine related."

" good" Emil whispered. He sat up and kissed Erika " it's okay by the way but first things first I have to leave this room in about an hour before my men wake up. Can't break any news to them this quickly"

"Yeah I imagine 'I'm courting the princess we just kidnapped and spent the night in her bed' may not go over so well," she giggled. "So what should we do for an hour?" she asked.

" well I have some ideas" Emil stood himself up and leaned in close to her and kissed her again and again smiling as he did"

" well I have some ideas" Emil stood himself up and leaned in close to her and kissed her again and again smiling as he did

Erika kissed him back and could feel herself blushing. "Should we go back to the bed?" she asked him. "It is the most comfortable part of this room."

"Sure "Emil stood and picked her up and carried her to the bed "well where to begin I know " Emil laid over her and began to kiss her deeply and lovingly

Erika was starting to get goose bumps. The war, rules, opinions of others, none of that would matter when they're alone like this she hoped. But then a sad thought came into her head and she broke the kiss and looked up at him with sad eyes. "What happens when the prince I'm engaged to comes to this castle to marry me? Will you let him take me away?" she didn't want him to. She wanted to stay with Emil.

" of course I won't let him unless you want to leave with him. Also we don't plan on staying here for long get ready princess we're about to show you the world" Emil kissed her again

Erika smiled. "As long as I stay with you," she kissed him back. "When do you think we'll be leaving? And how are you going to explain to your men why we keep spending the nights together?" she asked him. "Also do you want me to draw you a bath before you have to go down? I'm not very good at it and I've only done it twice but I'd be happy to do so for you," her mind was racing with all the things they could together and if she was going to stay with him and he was planning on courting her then maybe somehow they would always be together.

" we'll probably be leaving in a few days which reminds me you need new clothes because let's be realistic people will be able to tell from your clothes that you're the princess. " Emil kissed her" then what we do after is slowly convince my men to view you as an advisor to me. And If you want to draw me a bath you can

"New clothes? Where are we going to get me new clothes that fit?" Erika asked. "And that might be hard to do. You should maybe just tell them I'm a majick user and that the same rules that apply to them apply to me. Still won't answer why we're sneaking around at night because someone would notice" she said getting up and walking over to her tub filling it with some room temperature water and then took some that had been put over the fire place. "I would wait a few minutes but it may be hot, sorry if I'm rushing everything but she is what I was taught to do after spending the night with someone in my bed, make sure they're still happy the next day."

" well the new clothes that arrive won't exactly fit but when we finish traveling we'll be able to get some. And the tell them you're a majick user thing works out I can also tell them that I'm training you as a user and " Emil moved towards her " are you happy today he said cupping her face

She smiled at him and her face turn redder. "Yes, yes I am," she answered. "Are you?" she asked.

He kissed her deeply twice and smiled at her"yes"
