"I love you momma!"
"I love you too sweetie." Evelyn hopped onto Elizabeth's lap, hugging her mother tightly.
A door opened, and a man stepped forth.
"How are you two doing? And how was your day my love?" James Valis walked over to the others, sitting down beside them on the couch.
"Father, today I went to Lillith's house to play, it was fun." Evelyn replied, with a big grin on her face.
"Evelyn, I'm sure he was talking to me." Elizabeth patted her daughter's head.
"But father loves me, so he would call me 'my love', wouldn't he?" Evelyn asked with a sliver of concern in her voice.
"Of course baby, I love you more than anything in the world." James brushed his fingers through his daughters forest-green hair. His wife looked at him with a pout.
"Besides your mother of course. But never doubt it Evelyn."
Elizabeth twirled her shamrock-green hair, with her right index finger. "Are you gonna tell me that you love me too?" She lightly chuckled.
"Of course, I love you both, you know that. Everything I've done up this point in time, was for our future as a family. Especially you Evelyn, you will be princess, then eventually queen one day." He scooted closer and gave her a kiss on her forehead.
"Everything has been for you."

James and Royal Knight Command stood tall as they held their ground on the field. They all overlooked an extremely sized man with red-colored skin.
"You really think you can stand a chance, James?" Barton laughed as he spoke out his opponent's name. "You really need an army to
try to defeat someone like me?"
"I will stain the grass of these plains, red with your blood, Barton." James pointed his sword towards the dwarf king. He stood roughly twelve tall, towering over the both of the armies.
He glanced over to his side, to his love.
"Are you really sure you're okay with helping us?" James asked of his wife.
"I want to be there with you, no matter what, no matter who we face." Elizabeth unsheathed her sword, grasping it firmly.
"I love you Elizabeth."
"I love you too, dear."
Barton Bouvala continued to laugh."It will be you, your men's, and your queen's funeral." He scoffed. He slowly began to step over to the Valis army, with full intention to kill.
*********
James' cloak wavered in the wind as he slowly descended towards an open window. He crept through, dripping blood onto the red carpet. Sitting down onto the bed, he sunk his face into his palms, crying deeply.
Evelyn opened the master bedroom's door.
"Father, you've been gone for two weeks, where were you? What happened, why are you crying?"
He continued to sob, leading Evelyn to creep over and sit next to him. She saw the pain in his eyes as he wept. What could be wrong?
After a minute he finally stopped and wiped his tears from his face. He glanced over to his worried daughter. She looked greatly scared.
"Your..... mother." He started, with more tears seeping though his eyes. "Your mother was... murdered. Infront of me. The king of Bouvala murdered her, and everyone in the Knight Command." He began to cry again, weeping louder than before.
"Momma.... di...ed?" Evelyn could barely speak, with a droplet falling down her left cheek.
"Mo-mma..."

πΆππ π΄ππππ π¨ππ:
Evelyn sat on one of the golden thrones, next to her father.
"Hey Father, how are you feeling today? I heard Leonidas wanted to hold a party for-"
Evelyn began, but she was interrupted briefly.
*slap*
James hit his daughter, with enough force to throw her from the throne where she once sat.
"I don't fucking want to hear you speak." He uttered, standing from his seat. "You remind me too much of her, you know this already. Don't speak infront of me again, we have been over this countless times."
Evelyn lied on the quartz floor, sobbing.
"Why does he keep hurting me?" She would ponder this exact thought everytime he had hit her. She had to tell him how she felt. He has hurt her for many years, and she cannot deal with it any longer.
"Father! Why do you always keep doing this!?
I didn't even do anything wrong! You've been like this ever since Momma died and I can't take it anymore!" She kept crying, tears hitting the floor.
"Goddamn it Evelyn, like I said, we've been over this. It's your fault you keep forgetting. Now clean up your shit when you're done, I'm going to my room. And don't let anyone fucking bother me." He shouted as he began to march down the great room, heading for a corridor.
"You have to get over Mother. I have already grieved her, you should have done it too." She said as he continued.
He stopped, and turned his slightly head to glance at her. "Don't speak ill of your Mother." He then continued walking.
She still lied there.
"Why is he like this?" She thought.

"My Lady, are you okay?" Leonidas saw Evelyn sobbing on one of the royal thrones.
"I-I'm fine." She grunted.
"I need to inform you, there's been a sort of breach. A young man is in your father's quarters, and your father is nowhere to be found."
*********
"Mi-Miyuki?" She could finally see clearly as she looked at the boy she knew longer than he would know.
"Miyuki! Miyuki! You never gave up on me." Her voice broke, as she began to cry. She embraced the boy that she would have grown to care about.
"I could hear everything everyone said, I could still hear while I was unconscious." She told him into his ear.
Miyuki, who was also weeping, hugged her tighter. "You did? Even everytime I talked to you? Or fed you?" He couldn't believe it.
"Yes! Yes! I heard everything! I forgive you, even when you haven't done anything wrong." The two of them continued to hug and sob into eachother's arms.
"B-But I got you killed? Then you went into a coma. It is my fault." He still blames himself.
"Miyuki it's not. It's okay. Even if it was your fault, I would still forgive you." She hugged him tighter.
"I love you Miyuki."
"I love you too Evelyn."
The two of them continued as Lillith stepped over, barely holding back her voice. "Evelyn, you're okay now. I can't believe it, but I'm so glad." She joined them in a three-way hug.
"Well, this has become quite the reunion." Sakuta said, wiping a tear fron his eye.
"Leonidas, we're going to hold a ceremony knighting Miyuki, immediately." Evelyn said, standing from her seat. "He deserves it."
"Right on it, princess." Leonidas bowed, then headed for the cavern.
"A knight. I will he a knight, and a hero." Miyuki thought to himself.
