The past

"h-hey" said Prince Keith running after gift. He couldn't believe at the age of twelve he was running around like a eight year old chasing an ten year old princess "tag, your it" gift said to prince Roberto, who started chasing her but realize he couldn't catch her so went after one of the other princes and eventually caught Edward. "You guys… please" Bryan said between the children running. "it's funny to see you run like old times Bryan" Emily walked by him " it's not funny, your highness… they are so energetic" Bryan has been queen Emily's butler for a long time, they are practically best friends " kids!, come now" Emily shouted "mummy " gift run into her mums arms "now you guys be nice to Bryan, he can't run like how he used to anymore" she gave Emily a peck on the cheek before getting up to go " you're leaving mum?" gift said siting on the chair " yeah I have some business to attend to, will be back tomorrow" "aww don't go "gift run to her "don't worry, your fathers her with you, so is mike" Emily patted her head "now, your friends are waiting for you" she said as gift run back to sit by Keith as Emily left

"what's wrong" Keith asked showing a look of concern "I've been having bad dreams and im worried" gift finally confessed "don't worry, if anything happens I will protect you gift" he raised his fist "really?" gift had an idea and run inside to her room "h-hey" Keith said looking shocked "keithstar you made her shy now" Roberto said laughing "shut up" Keith said hiding his blush. Gift run back carrying a pink glittery wand " Keith can you come her" she said "why should I-" Keith was about to refuse "just do it" Joshua pushed Keith "good now kneel before me" gift smiled " no way…"Keith saw her eyes becoming teary "ok whatever you want" his face red like a tomato. He can't believe he is kneeling for a girl "ooooo.." all the other prince giggled in amazement "I hereby declare keithstar to be my knight in shining armor" she used the wand to touch both of Keith's shoulders "you are never to leave my side ….eerrmm" she scratched her head to remember the rest "…you are to love me till death do us part… now rise my knight" everyone was so shocked by what gift said. She took two rings and put one on Keith's finger "now you have to put it on me, too show a sign of loyalty" "w-what no way…" Keith said his face as red as a tomato "it sounds like a marriage vow" Keith said still blushing but slightly happy "where did you hear those word from gift" Wilfred broke the shock silence from the other prince "I saw a video of mummy saying it to daddy and daddy put the ring on mummy's finger ... mummy keeps saying that daddy is her knight" she beamed

"Oh I see" Edward said standing up and snatching the ring gift gave to Keith to put on her finger "if Keith is not obliged, I shall be your knight" he said, as he was about to put the ring on her Glenn immediately hit the ring and it fell near the flower pit "I wanted to do it" "as do I" Wilfred stood up "it should obviously to be me" Joshua said " no fair, it should be me" Roberto stood up too "what do you mean she gave it to me" Keith turned to the other princes they gave each other hars h glares before they all raced for the ring leaving gift staring at them like a deer staring at a car headlight. The princes fought each other as the ring rolled over from on hand to another and eventually dropped to the floor. Noble Michael picked up the ring "what's happening here" he walked calmly into the room which made the prince stop fighting "grandpa!" gift run to him "I don't ... know what made them fight" she said with teary eyes "now would you care to explain the whole situation to me over some tea"

The princes with intervals between them as each of them told a part of the story obviously angry with each other "oooooohohohoho... I see" he laughed as the princes faces become red as a tomato "the best option is to let her choose… gift who so you want by your side?" he looked at gift "huh?" she looked at their faces "all of them … because I love all of them" they all looked shocked and smiled then gift turned to Keith "but Keith is my special knight ..so he gets to put the ring on me" Keith gasped and swallowed hard as he took the ring "w-well if you say so" he blushed as he put the ring on her finger "looked like that's her choice "Edward said as the rest sighed and look down "sorry !"Roberto broke the silence "let's all protect her together" "agreed" said Joshua "Keith that doesn't mean you've won yet the game is still on" Edward said "wha-" Keith said as he blushed. The all smiled to each other and started laughing "why are you guys laughing… no fair tell me too" gift pouted "shall we go for a stroll?" mike asked "yeah" the all said in union

The next day gift woke up and walked to her dad's office, she saw that her dad was having a meeting with a group of people. Mike and her dad looked scared and so sad "we can't do what they say!" a stranger said, "if we don't they won't bring her back" the other man said, "papa" gift said as she walked towards her dad "gift what are you doing here" the king walked to her daughter and picked her up, gift only says papa when there's something wrong with her "I had a bad dream, I couldn't sleep" gift said as she begun to feel sleepy in her father's safe arms " I am sorry dear" he said patting her back "mummy was in trouble" she said rubbing her eyes he immediately tensed up "don't worry dear… nothing will happen to her" he said "they came for me next….." The king stood shocked at her words when Zain came "your majesty… may I?" As he took gift from him he stared at her till Zain took her back to her room.

She woke up to see that the princes where there with her "you've finally woken up… we were worried" Roberto said as he came to hug her. However gift was not her usual self. She was quiet "huh… what's wrong" Roberto asked as they all turned to her "nothing she smiled" Zain entered "lunch is ready" "you must be hungry lets go and eat" Roberto said as they went to the dining area. "Gift tonight is the ball for mike" Keith said "I know lets go buy him a present" gift spoken back to her happy self

"Dadddyyyy!" gift opened her dads office with a loud bang "w-hat is it?" he asked "can we go buy a present for mike" "ok dear, tell me what you want and it shall be delivered here" "noo! I want to go get it" she pouted the king sighed as she looked at the others "well if she goes with the guards, she should be safe" one said "I shall have some guards assist you"

Gift felt uncomfortable the whole time. First there were more guards escorting her, next they were so protective but she had her present so all was forgiven. It was time for the ball. Gift was dressed in one of the most beautiful gowns a ten year old can ever dream of. As she walked in with the princes, holding her present for her grandfather, with a smile on her face "w-would you like to dance" Keith said scratching his head as he held his hands out "of course" she smile "my knight" making Keith blush the next point someone screamed in the hall as smoked filled the hall " your highness" the guards immediately took the king out "gift" Keith held onto her hand as he begun to lead her out almost at the exit gift tripped leaving Keith's hands "gift!" Keith turned but was grabbed by the guards "your highness you need to leave" the guard said taking him away "wait gift is still in there" he straggles as the guard reach the car Keith saw another guard carrying gift into the other car.

The king's car was first followed by gifts car before Keith's and the other princes. It all happened in a flash, they reached the intersection when another car hit gifts car making it somersault. Keith was so shocked as men in black hoped off the car and took her, killing the other guards. She was unconscious as they put her into a car and rushed away before the other guards could intervene.
