The Good King

'I Want To Save Them All'

"Good morning my prince"

He smiled back at her replying

"Good morning Betty !"

And suddenly noticed those magical blue flowers next to him in a beautiful vase and immediately jumped out of the bed , carried those flowers with his small hands , lovingly gazing at the rare plants he always wanted to have before he shouted looking at the maid that enjoyed seeing him so excited,

"Betty ! Look Look"

She told him that his cousin got it for him from the woods when he came back from hunting and so he got more excited to get ready and go thank Elmer.

Louis the second was trying to stop Elmer who was quite shocked,

"Louis ? What are you doing ?"

Louis did not seem to like whatever Elmer was up to and so he whispered back in anger,

"What in the hell do you think you are doing ?"

They did not have the time to argue since they started hearing some footsteps approaching them and so Elmer pushed that hand away and jumped into the carriage dragging Louis in with him .

What they saw was just so heartbreaking especially those two little girls , they were probably Edmund's age if not younger , and every female in there was for just one disgusting purpose , to simply feed Leo's desires , but seeing two children in there got both Elmer and Louis speechless.

The women realized just by looking at the two males dressing way that they were from the royal family that was only made of four members , the king and the three princes , especially Elmer who looked so much like his father they recognized him at once and started begging him for their lives.

"Please My prince please save us"

Said one of them as she bowed down grabbing his boots,

"Please I am begging you My prince , have mercy on us"

The voices that were shaking begged more and more desperately , hoping that this prince has gotten something more than just his father's look,

"We are begging you please I have a family and I do not want to be here"

Elmer's head was spinning between those voices begging for their lives with no second of silence as some hands were grabbing his legs and kneeling for him in hopes he will be able to get them back to their homes.

He was not able to think straight , he wanted to scream and let them know that he wants them to go back to their lives too , to have better ones even but he can not , he ca not make it happen because he is not the King , he is powerless when it comes to this,

But that low female voice interrupted every single thought he had in mind , the others were still talking yet he only heard her voice saying the words that got him teared apart...

"Only if Hiram was still alive to see the failure his son has become"

His breath was held in there , he knew it all along , he reminded himself of those words every single day but hearing them from someone else just felt so different and somehow more painful.

"Elmer ! It's our chance"

Said Louis who has been watching the knights for a while now and made sure their way is clear.

Elmer got his senses back and carried the two little girls in his arms then jumped out of the carriage and started running with Louis by his side.

Betty was waiting for them in the maids kitchen opening their secret door and making sure that no one will be there at the time.

The two princes walked in , Elmer closed the door behind him and put the two girls back on their feet , Louis was out of breath and had a lot to think of so he sat down on the cold ground saying nothing.

Betty was a little surprised to see the second prince in there , not to mention how bad she felt about those children , she smiled at the two girls , introduced herself then asked them to follow her so that she can get them some food and new clothes .

Betty had more things to worry about and while taking care of the two sisters she noticed Elmer's eyes that were so dead and sad for some reason , he always comes sad after rescuing one or two of the women but this time he was totally broken.

"Let's go"

Elmer finally said as he offered his hand to help Louis getting up then looked towards Betty as if he was saying 'I will leave the rest to you' and she nodded 'Yeah' then the two princes left and each of them walked towards his room without being able to discuss the whole thing...
