Urika Kingdom
People are running here and there, terrified of the anger of their king. The castle was looking calm and royal from the outside. It was built in a large area of the Urika kingdom. The Urika Kingdom was ruled by Arthur Wales. He has two sons named Magnus and Loius.
Magnus was the elder son of King Wales and he was destined to marry Princess Fiona.
But the sudden escape of the princess just before the marriage left them shocked. The people of the Urika kingdom were shocked that the bride rejected the crown prince. The girls were happy that now he will not be bound to only one woman.
The king was shocked that how a princess could do something like that. Now all these things would affect the alliance of the two kingdoms.
But out of everyone, only one person was happy and that was the crown prince of Urika, Magnus Wales. The prince was happy that now he could enjoy his freedom. He was actually impressed with the bravery of princess Fiona.
Currently, the crown prince is sitting in the living area of his castle along with his father King Wales, and mother queen Grace Wales.
“What the hell are you saying? You are happy that your bride ran away.”, The king yelled at the prince after hearing him praising Princess Fiona for her bold step towards her freedom. He stood and argued with his father saying, “Yes father, why not? Even I am feeling so proud of her that she actually did what I wanted to do. I was bound by the promise which we made but she had the chance to escape and she did what was good for her.”
“You should be worried about your reputation that a princess escapes instead of marrying you. It would harm your reputation as a crown prince. People would think you were not capable of her, that's why she left.”, the queen tried to make his son understand to which he didn’t pay any attention.
The king was fuming in anger. The crown prince stood with all confidence and tried to make his father understand, “Come on dad. I am a crown prince and many girls know how capable I am. You don’t need to be worried.”
The King didn’t pay any attention to what the crown prince was saying. He was determined that he won’t let his reputation be harmed.
“We are going to the Pruhan kingdom and then we will plan our next moves. We have to find the princess.”, The king declared.
“But Dad.”, the crown prince tried to say something but the king showed his palm to him which says he is done. He told his son, “Enough, no arguments now.” and left.
“Fuck.”, the prince said and threw the vase from the table on the floor with anger.

The crown prince was sitting in his room near to window on the couch. He was working on his laptop. He was so engrossed in his work that he didn’t realize when the door of his room was opened and his brother Louis entered the room.
“Hey big bro, I heard my would-be sister-in-law ran away.”, Louis said and Magnus looked at him with knitted eyebrows.
The crown prince looked at him once and continued working on his laptop while saying, “You heard it right. She ran.”
“How did you manage to do that?”, Louis said and the prince looked at him with a questioned look. He placed his laptop on the table and grabbed his coffee and took a sip of his cappuccino.
“Seriously? You are thinking I did something.”, he asked and Louis immediately replied, “Of course.”
The prince smiled and said, “You know what, I did nothing. She left before we met with each other.”
Louis was stunned to hear his brother and he was worried about the consequences, “But bro, it doesn’t sound good. I mean what people would think about you?”
After hearing her brother, the prince turned to his brother and asked, “Dad sent you here, right?”
“What no? I just wanted to make sure you are good.”, Louis told his brother and defended himself.
“Well, I am perfectly fit and fine. I am so happy that she ran away and now I do not need to get married.”, the prince stood near the window looking out of the castle. It was afternoon and soon they were about to leave for Pruhan kingdom.
Louis asked, “Don’t you feel this is wrong. It would be so bad for both the kingdom and the alliance between them. This marriage was really important.”
“That’s why dad is going to Pruhan to speak with them. We have to accompany them there.”, Prince explained.
Louis suddenly yelled hitting his head lightly, “Oh no. I have a date today.”
Prince showed him his finger in a warning and said, “Dare you to ditch me. Just get ready now.”
“Okay Mr. Prince.”, Louis said and left to get ready.

Pruhan Kingdom
King Wales along with the crown prince and his younger son Louis reached Pruhan. Before whenever they came here, they were welcomed with so much royalty and enthusiasm but this time it was missing.
Though King of Pruhan made them be welcomed properly still it was difficult for them to forget the deed of Princess Fiona.
All of them were sitting in the living area and the king of Pruhan was looking so guilty. Queen of Pruhan was sitting silently as she was not expecting her daughter to ruin their reputation like this.
King of Pruhan declared with guilt and apologized to King and both the prince, “I am sorry for whatever my daughter did. We are trying to find her. I will punish her with my hands.”
“No need to do that. I will send my men in her search. I will make sure that she comes back.”, the Urika king consoled the king and promised to help in finding the princess which was looking really difficult as they don’t have any idea where is she?
“But our reputation is ruined because of her. If you want we can marry Caroline and Magnus.”, the king of Pruhan suggested but Urika king interrupted him saying, “You don’t worry. I liked Fiona for my son and only she would marry him. We will search for her.”
“Just give me a photograph of hers and we will start looking for her.”, The crown prince said out of the blue. Both the king and his younger brother turned to him with shocked expressions.
They give the photograph of Princess Fiona in an envelope and handed it to the crown prince, “Thank you, son.”
“No problem uncle.”, the Crown prince replied.

The crown prince and his brother Louis were sitting in the car. They were waiting for their father to come so that they can leave for Urika.
The crown prince motioned the driver to leave as he saw his brother wants to ask something from him. Once the driver was left, Louis called, “Bro?” and he hummed in response.
“Are you really going to search for her?”, Louis asked and the prince turned to him with a big smile, “No way.”
“Then her photograph?”, Louis asked pointing the envelope in the crown prince’s hands.
Prince showed the envelope to his brother and took the photograph out of the envelope. He tore the photo into two pieces.
“What are you doing? Let me see her once.”, Louis pleaded.
“Shut up”, Prince said and tore the photo into multiple pieces.
Suddenly he saw his father coming to the car. He hid the torn photograph from his father in his fist.
The driver started the car and they left from there. On their way to their kingdom, the prince pulled the glass down and looked out of the window. He threw the pieces of photographs in the air and thought in his mind, “Princess Fiona is gone and now I am free. I am going back to London tonight.”

Crown Prince’s POV (In London)
I was walking inside the bar which my friend owned. After Fiona escaped from our marriage, I was happy. But it was a tough time to deal with all the circumstances.
I was talking with my best friend Alexander when a girl bumped into me. Her sweet lavender fragrance filled my nostrils.
She was about to fall down on her butt but I encircled my arms on her waist. She was so gorgeous. I was stunned to see her deep blue eyes.
She was holding my coat for help. I was not sure if she was an angel or cinderella. I mean I never saw a girl this beautiful. Anyone wanted to keep this beauty with them. My mind knew that my father’s men will be around me and I suddenly realized that I promised to find the princess and without realizing it I spoke, “Princess Fiona” in panic and left her waist and she fell on the hard land and I ran inside the bar.

Third Person’s POV
To say Fiona was stunned would be an understatement. No men treated her the way she was just treated. She was still on the hard floor and shocked and didn’t realize a man laughing continuously but when she did. She stood with anger and ran to him saying, “don’t you have any manners? How could you laugh on-” but before she say forward her feet tripped and she landed in the arms of the man who was laughing at her a few minutes ago.
She saw his beautiful brown eyes of him and was holding his strong biceps from his white crisped shirt. For a moment she felt that she reached into a different world.
Suddenly she heard the police sirens and came out of her trance and left without thanking the man who just helped her.
“Hey Edmund, what are you doing here?”, someone asked Edmund and he turned to see Alex and replied him giving him a brotherly hug, “I was saving a girl who thinks she is a princess.”
“You and your girls.”, Alex commented and soon they entered the club.
