The next few weeks were normal for everyone, but complicated for William. Ezra got king Arthur's permission for marrying princess Aria, but only because he's been with the family for years and years, and they trust him.
William just couldn't keep to himself anymore, he couldn't let Victor get away that easily, so he did what he had to do. He stood in front of Rosaline's bedroom door, knowing that Victor was out hunting, he gently knocked on the door, and a few moments later, the door was opened.
Rosaline : "P.Prince William?"
William : "You weren't expecting that, were you?"
She gently bows "Not at all, your highness. What is it that you came here for? If I may ask".
William : "Victor is playing you"
Rosaline looked at him, confused, how did he know? "Y.Your highness, how, I mean, I..."
William stopped her mid-sentence "He's planning on destroying the kingdom! And he's using you as a threat, he's gonna kill you!"
Rosaline stood there, shocked, what was happening, the prince, heir to thr throne, comes into her room telling her lover, the other prince, wants to use her as a threat, and doesn't actually love her. But why, why would he snitch on his own brother?
Rosaline : "I don't believe you, why would you tell on your brother, I'm sorry your highness but I am not convinced"
William sighed and got out a piece of paper, this was a piece of Victor's diary, but how?
Rosaline took the paper and read it, her face turning from confusion to horror "No, this can't, how could he do that!".
The paper in her hand answered all her questions, this paper proved to her that Victor was a real monster, pretending to love her and leading her on, not only that, but he also was trying to sabotage his brother, for his selfish needs? That was cruel.
Willaim : "You believe me now?"
Rosaline just nods slowly, still processing the truth "But what can we do about it? He has power".
William : "I do too. We are going to tell my father, but Victor can't know about this at all, you act normal until I give you a sign, alright?".
She nods, understanding her role "As you wish, your highness" she bows.
William spoke again : "now follow me".
They both sneaked into the king's room, they wanted to keep this as hidden as possible, for now.
As they entered, after knocking, the king was surprised to see Rosaline there too "What made you come here, both of you, is something wrong"
William : "Father, it's about Victor" he looked at Rosaline and went on, explaining everything that happened to king Arthur.
The king was silent, he had nothing to say, his son, or atleast, the boy he considered his son, betraying him just like that? He sighed, disappointed.
King Arthur : "What's the plan?"
Willaim nods and spoke : "War, father, it's war that can stop him, Victor is now alone in his plan, we killed all his loyal men, we can defeat him, me, you, and Ezra, the three of us can stand up to him. But there is something, we must protect Rosaline."
The king was confused "Why is that?"
Willaim : "He is using her as a threat, to manipulate me, we need to put extra security on her."
King Arthur nods : "Alright then, we are declaring war".
