Bastien smiled softly, "I promise I'll be here when you wake up." He told her sleeping form before relaxing in his seat. Then his gaze turned to Lily's mother when she and her husband arrived. "She's doing very well despite what happened."
 
"Good. We wanted to ask despite what our daughter has done. Will you still be willing to go along with the marriage?" Her mother ask her voice a hint of upsetness toward her daughter and not happy with lily. She look at bastien "we are not happy with lily and I think she should be sent away to teach her how to grow up"
She look at her husband to agree with her.

(wanna play the husband?)
 
Bastien looked at them curiously, they were honestly asking for his opinion and what he wanted to do? That was quite surprising to say the least. He was certain they would have likely decided their daughter's fate on their own or perhaps punished her in someway.

The king looked at his wife and then the young prince. "I agree, I think getting away from here and going someplace new will help her take that step."

"I'm still willing to go through with the marriage." Bastien replied.

(Sure.)
 
"Really? You want to marry her? You sure?" The queen ask looking at him raise a eyebrow.

"What if we sent her away and didn't tell you where she was sent to? I don't think she is ready for you" she stated harshly continue "I don't think she will ever be ready"
 
Bastien sighed, what was with these people, asking one thing then saying another? It seriously confused him.

"Yes, she should be sent to our cousin's kingdom on the other continent, there she would work and learn from her mistakes." The king contuined for his wife. "She is still too immature to take things seriously."

"I'm just going to say this once so I suggest you listen." The prince remarked coldly and stood up from his seat. "Even if you sent her away I'd use all my power and resources to find her and bring Lily to my home, and she is more mature than you two even realize. Maybe if you actually took the time to sit down and even talk with your daughter you two would see that."
 
"How dare you speak to us like that. She is not mature, going behind our backs, having you lie, and she doesn't care about this country. She never wanted to marry but she has to. We will send her away to grow up and take things seriously like putting the kingdom first before herself" the queen hiss

Lily woke hearing them. She sat up wince tears fell. "Stop it both of you. Please. I don't want to be sent away, I want to get to know bastien and I have something I want to do for the kingdom. He didn't have to lie but he did cause he knew where I went was important, even after everything I have done he still want to get to know me. If you don't want me here I'll go stay with him if he is okay with it or I'll stay with Emma the lady in waiting" she coughed her hand on her ribs it took every breath to say that. "Bastien is giving me a chance to show who I am and if you send me away I will never get to show him"

"That stupid plan of yours. No one will want that. No you are not having that done. You will not marry him or anyone as long your here or until you can show to be mature" the queen ordered
 
"We let you into our home and this is how your treat us!?" The king roared, furious by the impudence of the young man standing in front of his man and wife. "Until she is of age and no longer acting like a spoiled child she will remain here and serve her punishment for disobeying us."

Hearing and noticing that Lily had woken up, Bastien went over to her side and leaned over once she was finished talking. "Hush, don't speak, you still need to rest so you can get better." Bastien told her softly, brushing away her tears with his thumbs and then petting her head. "Leave everything to me." The young man then smiled and leaned forward to press his lips against her forehead before turning around to face her parents. Though his smile was now gone and the prince was once again the cold and intimidating personality from when that man held Lily at knife point.

"Now you listen here, don't you dare talk to her that way. Her plan is amazing and the best thing I've heard, and hell, it's a lot more than you two have ever done for your kingdom." He growled and moved so he was only a few inches away from the king and queen and sneered. "Now, I can become the bad guy and take my future bride by force or you allow this wedding to go through." His cold eyes looked at them both. "Choose wisely, your thrones might depend on it."
 
The queen growled glaring at him. "How dare you threaten us! This is final she will not marry you or anyone until she stop acting immature and spoiled!" She waved the guards in. "Take him away now and escort him to his kingdom"
The guards came forward and grab him pulling him from lily.

Lily cried out. "No! Stop! Please!" She sobbed trying to move but was in pain and couldn't breathe all this stress wasn't good on her injuries. Her mother came over and forced her to not move and slap her to be quiet held her down as bastin was escorted out. Lily cried and struggled until she pass out.

A few hours later lily woke her hands chained to the bed to not try and leave. Tears fell she whimper hoping bastien is okay. She hate her parents now and what there doing.
 
"Oh believe me, it's not a threat." The prince glared back at her. "It's a promise I intend to keep." And there's what he wanted, to be escorted out of the room so his little plan could move onto the next phase. Though when then queen slapped Lily he growled and struggled against the guards.

"That little bastard." The king snarled, watching Bastien be escorted of the room though he did frown when his wife struck their daughter. That had been a little unnecessary.

In those hours passed once Lily woke up, a lone guard walked into the room and over to her side. Leaning in he acted like he was checking her restraints. "Did someone order a rescue?" Raising the face mask the guard revealed it was actually Bastien himself with a grin. "The security here is pathetic, the guards were easy to take care of." The prince mumbled while pulling out a set of keys and undoing her restraints.
 
Lily saw the guard and was getting scared. She felt tears fall seeing it was bastien. "Bastien. I'm so sorry. Please get me out I'm so scared" she whisper and once her arms were free she put her arms around his neck tears fell in pain. "You okay? I was so worried" she check his face for injuries even though she has it worse. "I can't believe my parents I knew they were upset but but my mother she slapped me" she whisper tears fell felt hurt and betrayed by them
 
"I'm going to, that's why I'm here." Bastien told her softly and rubbed her cheeks before wiping away her tears. "So come on, stop the tears, you don't need to cry anymore." Then he chuckled softly when she began to feel his face and nodded, "I'm fine, I'm fine, just a few bumps here and there." But when it came to her parents he growled slightly and then gently picked Lily up into his arms. "And that's another reason why I'm taking you away from this place and back to my kingdom."
 
Lily nodded and wince put her arms around his neck. "Your amazing bastien. Thank you" she whisper her head on his shoulder held on. "How will we get out? There guards everywhere and servants"
 
"Nah, I'm about average at best." Bastien replied and started for the room's exit before pausing for a moment. "I'd say I've taken out half the guard these past hours and unsurprisingly, the servants are actually on our side." Then with that he started walking again.
 
"Wow. That is good" lily whisper buried her face in his chest. She held on as he got her out and was in the carriage goig to his kingdom.

A few hours later she was asleep in her guest room in his castle. His mother walk in smile softly whisper to bastien "how she doing?" She is a loving caring concerned mother
The trip was hard on lily tiring and painful but she made it and is resting.
 
"Turns out the staff despise your parents." Bastien replied as they snuck out from the castle, with some help here and there.

Hearing the familiar voice of his mother, he opened both eyes that had been closed and turned his attention to her. "She's doing much better now that she's away from them." His arms gripped the seat rests tightly. "I almost killed them, every fiber in my entire body wanted to; I'm becoming no better than James." He sighed, referring to his older brother that had disappeared many years ago.
 
His mother place her hand on his shoulder. "Son your not like him. The difference between the two of you you would do to protect her" she motion to lily who was sleeping. "He did it for fun. Your protecting her that is why you will be a great husband and king is you protect. She need you more than ever now" she smile softly and sat down in the chair. "You know me and your father still support you marrying her, we think it great you still want to. Her parents is a problem, she is the heir to her kingdom but isn't queen. She doesn't have their permission to marry. I'm waiting for a reply from parliament on what to do" she look at lily. "Poor girl so much pain in little time"
Lily grip the sheets a few tears fell scared and had a nightmare of her parents.
 
"I know but..." The prince sighed softly, closed his eyes, and then shook his head before opening them again. He was actually beginning to enjoy inflicting pain on those who irritated him, threatened, or hurt something or someone he liked. This would need to be taken care of before he too falls off the wrong path just as his brother did. Getting up Bastien walked over to Lily's side and bent down to wipe her tears away and gently pat her hand. "Sh...you're okay, it's just a dream, you're in control of it." He whispered to her before turning his attention back to his mother. "Damn the parliament, they're just a bunch of fat nobles in it for themselves, they could care less about any issues unless they get any money out of it."
 
Lily found his hand and held it for comfort.
His mother nodded "I know dear. But we can't do much unless they have done something they weren't aloud and could be kick off the throne giving lily the crown. I don't know if they have unless lily tell us or servants." She said soflry
 
Bastien gently rubbed his thumb over Lily's fingers before thinking about it. "Well there is the whole, slapping Lilly her mother did, the affairs they both have had, and the thing were they spend the kingdom's money on clothes for themselves. Does that count?" He looked at his mother curiously?
 
"Those are all against the law. Have they spent any money on the village? She slapped her daughter?!" Her mother ask not happy she did that.
