Martina looked up at her husband as she was thinking about it, knowing it would be good to get away for a little while, he had been very protective since she had such trouble with the twins, it had even been the last birth that she had..

||Martina||- It'll be good to get away for a little while, darling..

He kissed her softly.

"Darling, I need to tell you, there have been threats made against you and the children. I want you and them far from here."

She looked at him when he said that as she frowned a bit..

Martina: Oh, my...

She said not liking that as she was thinking about it..

He looked into her eyes over the head of their daughter.

"I'm getting all of you out of here and somewhere safe. I can't let anything happen to those I care the most about."

She looked at him as she didn't want to risk her children but she wanted to make sure he was going to be safe as well.

Martina: I'm glad that you are coming with us.

She said as she knew it was just as dangerous for him.

Martina: What about your brothers and there wives?  Are they safe?

She asked not sure how far the threat has gone.

He nodded.

"I have already gotten them to safety. We will be joining them soon."

He smiled down at one of the boys when he felt the tug on his pants. He sat down on the end of the bed so he could pull him into his lap.

"Your sister is with Joe. They are safe."

He knew that she was worried about Courtney. He could see it in her eyes when she asked about the others.

She looked at him thinking about her other sister Nattie.

Martina: Is Nattie still missing?

She asked knowing that she had been missing for some time Everyone had looked for her, he had sent guards, but she still hadn't been found, but her father had been punished and was in the gallows now.

He shook his head.

"She was found this morning. She seems to be happy and is safe."

He knew that would be a big relief for her.

"She is with a man who they both claim is her husband. He is very protective of her."

Martina was shocked to hear that, but happy her sister was safe as she was thinking about it.

Martina: Good.

She said happy she was fine..

He kissed her softly.

"Everything and everybody is going to be alright."

She smiled warmly thinking about it, she was glad that everyone was alright.

Martina: Good..

He smiled when the nurses came to get the kids and get them ready to go. He saw Martina's maid come in to start packing.

"You will be with Courtney soon, my love."

She nodded smiling warmly as she went getting the children ready to go, knowing there was a lot to get ready.

||Martina||- Where are we going?

Josh: We are going to visit King Henry.

She nodded as she was thinking about it.

||Martina||- Nice..

He watched her a moment thinking.

"He is sending some of his soldiers to help here."

She was thinking about it when he said that.

Martina: Nice of him.

He nodded and smiled.

"His guards should be here tonight. They are going to ride with us and our guards to his kingdom. Double the protection for us on the trip."

Josh nodded and smiled.

"My men will take the bags out to the wagon. We will follow with the children."

Josh nodded and smiled.

"Thank you. King Henry has been a great assistance to us through this trying time."

He held two of the children on his lap and smiled down at them. His daughter was still singing which made him happy. He loved hearing her little voice.

He reached over and took his wife's hand in his and squeezed it softly.

"You okay, my love?"

Josh looked at the sleeping children then at Carmen.

"You mind carrying  a couple of them?"

He made sure all of the kids and Martina were inside before he went in. He watched everybody scrambling around getting the kids settled.

He kissed Martina's cheek.

"Take care of the children, darling. I will see about a meal for all of us."

He looked at the food and nodded as he smiled.

"Please see that the children are fed and put to bed. The men can eat in shifts along with standing guard."

Steven looked at Braelynn and grinned.

"I can see why my son is in love with you."

He grabbed the front of her dress and pulled causing the fabric to rip open.

"Making him wait until the wedding night before he gets to enjoy your body."

He grinned when she said that.

"You are willing to risk being killed just to be with my son?"

He grabbed her boobs and grinned.

"If you love him as much as you say you do, you'll keep your mouth shut about what happens here. Otherwise you will find your head separated from your body in no time."

He grinned when she said that.

"Then you will be dead tomorrow."

When Steven was finished with her, he left her tied up naked while he went find a soldier and tell them that he had captured her and she tried to seduce him. He stood back with a grin on his face while she was arrested and taken to the dungeons.

"Poor little, Brealynn. Not getting what she wanted after all. Whore."

Jimmy had been looking everywhere for his fiance. He was relieved when he saw her with Jesse, but upset when he saw that she wasn't dressed.

He bowed to the princess.

"My Princess, if you would please allow me to see after my fiance..."

He didn't finished before Braelynn was in his arms. He wrapped his jacket around her to cover her from other's eyes.

Sean was standing at the end of the hallway watching Jesse. He smiled as he walked over to her.

"Need help, my love?"

Sean carried Candy back to the castle as Jesse rushed along beside them. He got her inside and to her room.

"Send for the doctor."

Candy groaned out as she was laying in her bed, she had no idea though, she was too far out of it, she had been shot , and then drugged after, she had been left alone, an infection had hit her side where she had been shot as the doctor was cleaning it out, stiched it and then looked at the princess.

Doctor: There isn't anymore I can do, the rest is up to her.. Just make sure she rests as much as possible.

She said as she packed her things up and then left.. Jesse and Sean left her to rest, hoping she would be alright..

Sean had a guard put at Candy's door. He was going to make certain she would be safe.

He walked with Jesse to their room next door.

"She'll be okay, Jesse. She's strong."

They had no idea that the guards at the door where actually Steven's guards and he was working on getting back some of the women... The guards waited until late, went in and took Candy out, and brought her to another location, where other women were brought in as well , Candy was put in a separate room though, knowing that she was in worse shape for the fight she put up to get her there originally...

Steven had his fun with the women then went into Candy's room. He checked her over and saw that she was too sick to fuck at the moment.

"I want her taken care of. I want her healthy."

She was starting to come too as she was hearing what he was saying, she didn't like that she was here, she knew what kind of a creep he was, hearing what he had done to some of the women when she was tied up before...

Candy: I rather die...

She said as she didn't want to be any place near him.. She tried to move a bit wanting to get away from him, but was too weak to really fight it..

He rolled his eyes and had his men tie her down.

"It's for your safety."

She struggled for a moment, but was too worn out, too weak as she finally just stopped laying back. 

He leaned down and kissed her cheek.

"Get rest, Candy. You will feel better soon."

She just turned her head away from him , not wanting him to touch her, as she was laying there, she watched him go as she just sighed laying there, falling asleep after a bit.

She spent the next few weeks still tied in bed, being forced to be fed, and carried to the bathroom, she hated it, but didn't fight it, after a bit she was healed enough to do things on her own, but she was still tied, as they were afraid she was going to take off...

Steven came into the room and smiled seeing her setting on the bed.

"How are you feeling today?"

She looked at him.

Candy: I want to leave. 

He shook his head.

"That is not possible."

She glared looking at him as she was thinking about it, she knew that she would be saved, she knew that Jesse would come for her again.

Candy: You won't get away with this, they will come for me... You just wait and see. 

He grinned when she said that.

"I already have. I have a paper signed by the king stating that you belong to me. I own you, Candy."

She looked at him not believing that, she shook her head as she sat there on the bed.

Candy: And why would he do a thing like that?

She said as she had always been loyal to the king.

He smiled and sat on the bed beside her.

"Because he owed me. I saved his son's life."
