The princes then took out their things from the carriage and placed it on the blanket then called the girls.

All of them sat down and had their lunch along with a little snack as they relaxed.

" Your Highness can I talk to you for a moment alone please? " Ash asked,

"Okay" she responded and went with him.

Cosmo wondered what he wanted to talk to her about but she knew that she could not pry.

"Is there something wrong Ash? " she asked,

"Uh... we need to talk about something that you do not know about and more importantly, it is your along with my parents' decision" he responded

"Okay, you are scaring me what's wrong? " She asked as he took out a flower diamond ring, grabbed her hand and placed it in her finger.

After he did that she left staring at him in shock.

"This is your family ring why are you giving it to me? " she asked,

" Well, it's ours family's decision, I think you get what you are to me and why I came here with you, " he responded and her heart started racing and her eyes started glowing orange.

"Are you saying my parents arranged my marriage with you? " she asked as tears came to her eyes and he sighed,

"Yes and it has been a while, they did not want to tell you until the time is right, but I overheard them when they came at my home the last time, so... " He said.

"So that means that my fate is sealed and my future has been decided for me, so... I.... Am your fiancee can you do me a favor? " She asked as tears ran down her cheek and he pulled her towards him then hugged her.

"I am sorry, " he said and she raised up with a smile.

"It's fine, just keep this from the others for now" she replied,

"As you wish, my lady, " he said and they went back to the others.

Back at the palace the father somehow found out that the girl and her friends we're going to the mountain and the aunt lied to them, he was really angry and went to her mother.

"Were you a part of this?, did you know that she was planning on becoming a wall between me and my destiny? " he asked while shouting and the mother jumped in fear,

"I did not know, however, things may be she is our daughter" she responded,

" I do not care if she gets in my way I will cut her limbs" he said,

"Gather a few men and bring her back even if you have to drag her by her hair, no one goes against me in m6 home" he said,

"As you wish sire" the guards replied, then the king walked away with them in anger as the queen fell on the floor crying then aunt Claire came to her.

"Will he really hurt her? " Claire asked and the queen looked at her as her eyes glowed blue and Claire gasped ,

"He will, but I do not think we have to worry, she has her friends and I think she might be willing to come back without causing any problem" Claire said,

"Probably and there is another thing he fixed her marriage " the queen replied,

"What?, how can he do such a thing she is young?" her aunt asked,

"Her life is in her father hand and i cannot say anything about it" the mother responded as the meeting between the kingdoms began and they had to join.

As the princess and the prince packed the things in the carriage to carry in their journey, Cosmo noticed the Lilith was looking really worried so she went to her.

"Your highness" she said and Lilith looked at her.

"Oh is there something i can help you with?" Lilith asked,

"Are you okay?" Cosmo asked.

Lilith sighed "i am fine, maybe it's best if you do not get involved in my problems" Lilith responded,

"What happened Lilith?" she asked and the princess looked at her sternly,

"Like i said mind your own business, please" the princess responded and Cosmo grabbed onto her hand and pulled her into the forest to a part where no one was.

"Let go of me, what are you doing Cosmo?" the princess asked and the girl shoved her against the tree.

"Cosmo" she shouted as the girl leaned over her then placed her hand on the tree and looked the princess directly in her eyes.

"What is going on in your head Lilith?" she asked as the princess heart beat increased.

"I said i am fine, now please move" Lilith said and Cosmo hits the tree then the princess jumped in fear.

She then grabbed on to Cosmo's hand and squeezed it.

"Let go of me, you squeeze like a bloody man, let go, " she said as she shoved Cosmo off of her and she fell on the ground.

"I am sorry Cosmo, are you okay?" she asked as she stretched out her hand towards her and the girl held on to her and she pulled her up.

"I am fine, you are not only worried but angry too" Cosmo responded and the princess turned away.

"Do you like my ring?" she asked the girl as she stared at the princess finger.

"It is pretty but why is it on your marriage finger?" Cosmo asked,

"Because i am engaged, there you got your answer now stop asking questions and lets go or we will arrive at that mountain late, i promise i am not going to let my father hurt that dragon even if it is the last thing that I do, " she responded in anger as her eyes glowed orange then left Cosmo there and went into the carriage and sat near Ash.

A little while after everyone came in including Cosmo and the girl was not happy at all, the princess saw then sighed and they took off.
