Prince James has been in the palace but he couldn't find Eleanor which got him worried,she didn't tell him she was going anywhere.
He didn't want to ask the other maids where she was,it was going to look suspicious though they they've been hanging out recently.
His curiosity got the better of him so he went to the king to ask about Eleanor.
"Prince James welcome what brought you here are you ready to leave for archfield"
"I think I will be leaving very soon so I came to ask you for a favor"
"Have a seat what favor do you need"
"Ummm sire the maid Eleanor she hasn't been in the palace for a long time since I haven't seen her here"
"Ohh Eleanor someone has taken her for a maid at their home"
"Sire I..I..mean I don't think she is happy with it she loved the palace as her home"
"Oh my dear you don't have to worry about she is just a maid"
"But sire I don't still think she will love to be there"
"Don't interfere in the palace rules dear I know she will be happy Adrian will treat her well"
"Adrian?"
"Yes prince James Adrian he was the one that took her"
Feeling an uneasiness in his heart and body he stood up from his seat he can't imagine Eleanor being with another man.
He has been with her for some time and knew how vulnerable she is.what was he going to do to get her back from that person he thought.
"Can I ask a question sire"
"Go on"
"Can I know who this Adrian is"
"Ohhh my dear I don't give out such important information"
"Eleanor is not happy there sire"
"How do you know prince James"
"She told me herself that she can't leave the palace it feels like home here"
"Hmmm I can't still do anything on this matter if I may ask why is prince James caring for a lowly maid"
"I..I…sire I…don't know…forget sire"
The man saw the thing in the prince's eyes which wasn't good the person was a maid which was not possible.
Bowing his head "thank you sire I will be leaving now"
"Hmm you can leave and again take your mind off the maid you can't get her to avoid chaos prince James"
He raised his head to look into the king's eyes "I get what I want sire I don't care whoever is with her I wanted her first"
"What you are trying to catch won't get to your reach so be careful not to fall while trying to catch it"the king said
"Thank you sire I think I will be leaving the palace today and I think now will you let me"
"It's already late prince James tomorrow is a good day to leave"
"Thank you sire but I have thought this through already can you give me the permission to leave"
"As you wish should I send some guards to escort you"
"Thank you sire for your hospitality I would appreciate it if you let me take only my horse and leave without a single guard"
"Will you be okay your father will be angry with me if I let you go empty handed prince James-"
"I know sire you don't have to worry about that I will take my leave now"he said bowing
"You are so stubborn prince James but is okay you have grown a lot"
He left for his chamber since he wanted to pack his things and go back to his kingdom.arranging everything with the help of the maids he was ready to leave.

Princess Emily was informed from her minions that prince James was about leaving the palace since Eleanor wasn't around anymore.
Standing up from the couch in her room "What?…who is she for him to leave because of her"
"I don't know milady he is about to leave"
"NOW"
"Yes milady"
"Why didn't you inform me a long time"
"I am sorry milady,milady should be fast he is about to go"
Pushing the maid away from the way she ran fast as her legs could carry her,arriving at the stable where he was to take his horse.
Prince James was staring at the sky thinking about Eleanor when he felt someone's hand on his arm.looking down on the hand to the face he saw princess Emily.
"What are you doing here princess Emily"
"Princess James are you leaving"
"As you can see princess Emily thank you for everything take care of yourself"
"Why….I…I..mean you said you were going to stay for some time but…"
"I said I wanted to look around the kingdom while I stay here for some time that doesn't mean I can't leave anytime I want am I right princess Emily"staring at her hand that was still on his arm.
Removing her hand"I ..I..am sorry for that forgive me for trying to stop you"
"Is okay you tried to stop me also but there is no reason for me to stay here any longer"
"I don't understand prince James"
"There is nothing for me here princess Emily the one soul which was good enough for me to see had left"
Princess Emily understood him when he said one soul which means Eleanor squeezing her dress in her hand fuming in anger.
"Take good care of yourself prince James I was looking forward for the two of-"
Hopping on his horse holding the reins "Stop having hopes on me princess Emily"he said and left
Tears filled princess Emily's eyes which were threatening to fall,looking away blinking so it won't fall "I can't imagine he left because that lowly girl left this place I will make sure I deal with her when I become the queen"
She stomped her feet straight to her father's chamber she really wanted to be the crown princess as soon as possible to be able to do things.
Her dad saw her coming he knew something was wrong with the look on her face.
"What is it Emily"he asked her
"Dad I really want to be the crown princess"
"Will you do anything if I ask you to do it"
"Yes dad"
