Prince Klaus Beves's Story

---

Klaus was pleased that Gwen took his arm and seemed to be interested in going to the garden. It was after all one of his favorite place. He was slightly disappointed when she asked him to tell her some things about him, he'd much rather talk about her than himself. "Well I was much preferring to talk about you. However I don't mind starting first." He gave her a small smile, staring into her eyes. She was stunning, and Klaus was having a hard time keeping his eyes off of her beautiful face. He thought for a moment about himself, wondering where he could start. "Well I adore horseback riding and adventuring out of my castle. It's hard to keep me locked up in a castle for more than a day. I enjoy fighting like a soldier would, I prefer in protecting myself rather than having guards." He shrugged taking another pause to think. "I like to paint, learn musical instruments. Right now I know the piano and violin. Oh, and I hate to brag, however I'm an excellent shower singer." He joked to Gwen.

Klaus entered the maze with his hand on his arm just beside hers, intertwined in the maze walls were roses of all colors. "Would you be so kind to tell me about yourself?"

Klaus's smile only grew as Gwen told him that he basically described herself. He looked away for a moment and then looked back at her as he kept leading her to the center of the maze. "Good with a sword huh? I might just have to see that first hand." He joked with her as he put his hand gently on hers, locking his fingers with her, leading her up a small bridge. The two weren't quite in the center, only a few more turns however. Below them fish swam in the small pond. Flowers grew above them, tickling Klaus's forehead. He smiled at her, watching her as she looked around. The sunlight hit her eyes so perfectly, Klaus literally felt his heart break in that very moment by her beauty. She spoke of beauty, and the words just kind of spilled out of his mouth. "Your the most beautiful image out here.." He turned pink as he realized what he said and looked away coughing. "So anyways.. I wanted to ask you, is there anyone that I'm taking the place of? Will this marriage cause any conflict?" He stratched his head as he spoke to her. "I don't mean to be rude at all. I just would like to know where we stand, if there's no chance of you ever falling in love with me becuase of another man I'd like to be aware. Maybe we could just come up with another agreement for peace.." He felt broken hearted just letting the words leave his mouth. "Don't get me wrong, I can see myself falling madly in love with you.. You know what. Nevermine, I didn't say anything. This must all seem really stupid.." Klaus made a mental note to pound his head in a brick wall later.

The sunlight hit Katarina's back perfectly, warming her instantly as she sat on a stool by the window, looking down into the maze of the garden. Watching her son and the Queen walk together. She hoped deep inside that the two had similarities. Hopefully Gwen would learn to be patient with him, that's all she really wished for her son. However the thought of him ruling a kingdom did scare her just a tiny bit. As she thought of that, she turned away from the window and realized the butler had been talking to her the whole time. She smiled at him, and agreed potability however soon regretted it when she realized he was just testing her to see if she was still listening. "Ma'am, Klaus will do just fine. You shouldn't worry, it will cause wrinkles." He smiled at Katarina before picking up a folder that was on her desk and handed it to her. Katarina took the folder and looked through it. "Yes your right Charles. I apologize. Please leave me while I go over the plans for the next few days. I'll get the letters written as soon as possible." Katarina told him as she moved back to her desk.

As he has the ladies in sight a young Commoran guard runs up to Zxander, almost out of breath, "Sir, problem... two men... yours... found hurt... put under guard for their safety.. guards dead and yours missing. Dalibor... and Bogdan... I believe."

Zxander paused as his mind ran through a hundred different questions and scenarios. "Guard follow us as soon as I am done with my men I want you to show me everything. MEN Double time." The men hurry behind Zxnader as he runs up to Wymond. "We got situation. I want you to stay with Lady Ellyn, send a guard with Lady Julia and one to watch Duchess Masha's back. Two guards at either end of the hall, consolidate the ladies into one room for now and post two guards at each door full lock. Once the others get back send them to the Queen. Ladies take care and have fun." With that he nods to the Commoran guard who shows him to were they were holding the men. Well Zxander leaves Wymond and the others setup as they were ordered. As this is happening a guard arrive to tell the King and Queen about what happened.

Also at the same time Dalibor, his arms and side covered in blood, makes his way into the clearing at the heart of the maze were the Queen and Prince are. Clearly in a lot of pain, which the royal guard is trained to endure and NEVER show. "My Queen, please do not yell or come near me, I have failed you. But before I leave, I wanted to know... How well do you know the man that guards you? Do you know he has yet to morn the losses he has suffiered? Do you know what he did after each attack when he said he must leave to morn or to tend to something? Do you know why the old captain stepped down and gave it to Zxander, one of the youngest newest official guard over everyone? Do you know how far he will go to see you safe and why? Unfortunately your Grace, because of what I know and because I have failed you I must leave. Long live Vecar, Long live the Queen. With that he hurried as fast as he could away, which is surprisingly fast for the pain he is in.
