Before the two got far, the young princess stopped her in tracks......forcing the prince to stop as well. He went to shout at her, but she beat him to the punch....
"I am tired of this... Nonsense! I did nothing to your family and you are treating me as if I were nothing more than a used rag........I demand an explanation. I am no threat to you, and I have absolutely nowhere to go other than where you order your men to take me, at least until my father does something about this and comes to get me! And there is no reason for you to be so harsh about this. I'll be here for a while, I'm guessing though I not hope, so you might as well start getting used to me" the woman shouted to the prince, with a level of boldness that waned with her word she said.....
Kaiyle was still completely taken-aback though. It had been quite a long time since he had been spoken to in such a way by a prisoner......and it made him angry enough to punch something, or someone..........but as he looked at the woman, he quickly calmed himself. He knew there was no bite with her bark, and that she was of no real threat to him..........but still, he found her words utterly ludicrous, and pulled the girl in front him to tell her so.
"The captive, demanding anything, yet alone an explanation, from the captor......is the most ludicrous thing i've heard in a long while.
I don't have to tell you one single thing if i choose not to, and if you have a problem with that i'll happily keep you locked in that room around the clock, with your windows boarded, and your bookcase emptied. So if you EVER raise your voice to me again, i'll-" before Kaiyle could close off his rant, Ema and three guards made their way towards them.
"Kaiyle, stop it! You're scaring the girl." said Ema, before she went to grab the princess......but the guards beat her to it, and pulled the young girl towards them.
"What do you want us to do with her??" they asked.
After a moment of deep thought, an annoyed Kaiyle responded;
"Throw her in the dungeon" he snapped, and the guards began to oblige.
Ema however, began to protest. She knew the dungeon was just that, a dark and damp dungeon, far less accommodating than the watch tower. The girl would be stuck in a large cage without a single cot....leaving only a floor of hay, or an incredibly small wooden bench for her to sleep on.
"Dear you can't be so cold!" Emma pleaded, as the princess was pulled down the stairs, and then into palace's grand elevator....which would take her to the basement dungeon. Ema held up her hands and shouted down for the guards to wait for her, and that they did. But before she went, she grabbed both sides of Kaiyles face with her hands.
"You can not change my mind, so go!" he said flatly, but Ema didn't let go of him until she had said her peace.
"I know you, you are not a cold man........she's a young woman, you'd really let her stay the night in such lowly conditions?"
And with that Ema ran down the staircase and into the elevator.
Kaiyle sighed, before making his way up to the third floor, where he'd spend the rest of his evening........in a lush royal bedroom, fair more comfortable than anything the princess would experience overnight.

After the princess was placed in the Dungeon, and the gates were locked tight, Ema made her way towards the bars.
It was now becoming dark outside, and the only light seen in the darkened area came from a pair of lit torches on the wall.
"I apologize for your being housed here......but i did warn you dear, not to wander off........you should of just asked me if you wished to see the grounds. Now though, you'd be lucky to make it out of this dungeon. Kaiyle can be........well, hardheaded."
Emas voice trailed off towards the end of her statement, and she began to back away from the bars.
"I must go now.......i hope you can get some level of rest down here, i'll make you breakfast in the morning. But please, whatever it might seem, i implore you not to think the prince as evil.....he truly is not." she said, before heading down the wide hallway, and back into the elevator.
Ema would, like every other evening, retire to her servants quarters on the first floor......waking up early the following morning to began breakfast for all on the grounds.
"I am tired of this... Nonsense! I did nothing to your family and you are treating me as if I were nothing more than a used rag........I demand an explanation.
