Both Ella and Arthur finished their sword lessons about month and a half later, yet Ella still stayed at the castle for Snow's soldiers was still in town. Henry went into town one day to browse but also to see how long the soldiers plan to stay, they informed Henry that it'll be at least one more week. Ella formulated a plan in which a servant would pretend that he or she got a letter to be given to Henry. After giving it to Henry he would read and call for the soldiers and hand them the letter. Ella told the plan to Henry which he thought was genius but was a bit disturb for he thought Ella was returning home. "I'll go home but I want to be on my own for a bit and maybe experience more things. When I do go home I will throw a party in which I'll invite the friends I met through my journey and is so dear to me, like Orson and you all."
Before they executed the plan Ella wrote to Orson, telling him to meet her... which they did and Ordon also thought it was a crazy and brilliant plan; he also concluded that he'll travel with her as well. A few days later they went with the plan, as expected the soldiers left for home to give Snow the letter to wait for new orders. Although the soldiers left Ella thought to wait a week before she and Orson left.
"Lets have a wonderful dinner and night since this is the last day for Ella to be here." Everyone smiled and agreed with Alvin, as Ella had tears in her eyes. When dinner was over everyone went to the library. Arthur though pulled his father aside before entering the library, "father I wish to go with her." "You love her don't ya?" "I know you said I could court her but I feel like if I do I'm letting you and mother down." "Your mother and I just want you to be happy son, so if you think this will bring happiness to your life then go. We all love her too." "Thank you father." Alvin and Arthur then entered the library and talked with the others; it wasn't to late when everyone went to bed. As Arthur walked Ella to her room Ella was asking why he wanted to go with her and Orson. Arthur's reply surprised yet at the same time made her suspicious "I want to get to know you more... May seem to sudden but I like you a lot, I don't care if you are a commoner or not. Well good night Ella, see you tomorrow morning." They got to Ella's room, Authur left before she could contradict. I wonder if he knows my identity and if he doesn't know?.. Honestly, I didn't predict this to happen, for Arthur to travel with Orson and me. Orson! What am I supposed to tell him? I wonder if I can ask him to see if Arthur knows my true identity.
Ella woke up early to walk the garden. Then had breakfast with Alvin, Sophie, Henry, and Arthur. Arthur and Ella was going to leave but Ella saw that Arthur had some amount of bags and looked like a royal so Ella sent a servant to pick up some items for Arthur. When Arthur saw everything that the servant got for him he would have argued but decided not to which pleased everyone. Alvin gave his son a pouch of gold, Henry took Ella aside gave her some gold to and told her that he wants to hear from them when they get to Richard's Kingdom.
As instructed Arthur took one of his horse's and had the purchased wig on. Ella got her horse from the stable, they went to the bed and breakfast seeing that Orson was there waiting with the bow and arrows. "Who is he? He looks familiar." "I'll explain when we're out and further away from town. Hop on now." "Wait he can ride with me or I could ride with you." "No, it's alright... So come on Orson." "Eh okay."
Around mid-day Orson, Arthur, and Ella stopped to eat some bread that Orson packed. The bread was supposed to last at least two days but since Arthur was there... Ella explained why the person looked familiar. Orson couldn't find words to say, shock was written on his face. Sleep was interesting Ella didn't trust Arthur even though she spent nearly a month or so in his castle.
