"Your Highness," Marianne says in a stunned whisper. She couldn't believe that the Crown Prince had come to his rescue.
The Crown Prince smiles and nods at her. "It's good to see you, Mario," he said. "I'm glad I was able to get here in time."
The royal guards surrounds the woman and her men, taking them into custody. "We'll see that they are punished for their actions," the Crown Prince says. "You're safe now."
Marianne let out a sigh of relief. She is grateful to the Crown Prince for saving her, but she wonder how the Crown prince knows she is there. She watches as the guards arrest the woman and her hoodlums.
"I shall let you pay." Lady Fitzwilliam struggles in the hands of the guards as she threatens Marianne. The guards leads them away and Marianne smirks as she watches them leave.
"But why would you be so foolish as to come here alone?" the Crown Prince asks, his voice tinges with amusement.
