*lies in his arms*

It was scary for everyone.. and no one warned me you would survive..

*The king thought for hours, with lil in his arms, his kingdom was finaly peaceful for a while, there really seemed to be nothing going on, he knew fine well that this wouldnt be the case for long, unfortunately, he knew everything that would happen to his kindom at least a month ahead. He new something else which scared him about the future, the plight of one man, Restite Gritham Frankin, held prisoner illegaly for crimes he didn't commit. The king turned round to lil.*

have you heard of Gritham Frankin?

*Lil frowns*

*thinks some more*


...No.. I don't recognise the name.. *she shakes her head*

*He hands lil the British paper explaining the intenational courts holding of the suspect, for alleged racially influenced bombings.* Recognize him now?

*She looks at the very blurred picture in the paper*

.. I.. I don't think so..

.. Paul?.. What is all this about?

*The months had rolled on and the king returned from a UN conference on the Treaty of Restitia. The king looked around for LIL but couldn't see her, plans had to be made for the impending wedding.*

*Not expecting the King back just yet, Lil has been practising her swordsmanship*

*She makes her way back to the King's Quarters, but it appears they have missed each other in the maze of corridors in the castle*

*Discarding her weapon and armoury, she strips off and heads into the bathroom to shower*

he lies down on the bed and stares at the ceiling.*

*wrapped in a huge fluffy bathrobe, Lil enters her dressing room*

*She brushes her hair and begins to dry and style it*

Is that you darling? *he shouts through*

*She turns off the dryer for a moment..frowns and then resumes drying her hair*

*The king comes through and puts his arms around her* is everything ok dear. *He kisses her on the cheek.* How have you been since I left. This place is very quiet, surprising this being restitia and all, theres no commotion, nothing. I have noticed that the castle staff don't all seem to be here.

PAUL!!

*Lil turns and kisses him*

When did you get back?.. How did you get back?..

*Through her questions, she stands up and hugs him tightly*

.. Things aren't as quiet as you think.. Sir Steve is around some place..

*She grins with delight at seeing him again*

*there is a sudden shimmer and Paul vanishes again*

PAUL!! You promised it wouldn't happen again!

*Lil dresses and leaves the Kings Quarters to walk off her temper in the Castle grounds*

*The king reappears with flowers in his hands* I'm sorry there was a problem with the UN. are you there dear? dear? *the king shouts down the hallway.*
