sorry for the long wait for the next chapter of this story I've been busy with school and home life and I just really don't have confidence in my writing at all so I'm going to try and write as much for this story as I can in between the assignments I have to do to try an fix my writing and maybe boost my confidence a bit see if it helps. I hope you will enjoy this chapter and as always I don't own Cardfight Vanguard

"As the sun began to set on Cray Ai and Josh were still running around in the palace gardens unaware of the head maid of the castle Camilla coming towards them mumbling curses under her breath while running so fast she was a blur. The children realized a little too late as Ai crashed into her

"Ah miss Camilla I'm so sorry I didn't see you coming this way," Ai said in a panicked tone as said woman scared the living daylights out of her and to her Camilla gave off a bad vibe. "Is there something that you wanted me for Miss Camilla."

"Please make sure it doesn't happen again princess," she said with a sickeningly sweet voice laced with something that the children couldn't pick up on. " You're lucky to even be out here today as it is your birthday and not inside having your lessons like you should be. Is this what you are going to be like when you take over the throne and the kingdom a girl that likes to skip her duties and doesn't take them seriously". She could see that her comments had hurt the little pest which she took great pride in, pushing a strand of her violet hair out of her red eyes she looked at the children with a scowl on her face, "well, let's get the two of you cleaned up and looking presentable, we wouldn't want any embarrassment for the King and the kingdom from the visiting leaders now would we". br /As the children were being ushered back into the castle Camila looked over her right shoulder, looking into a big pile of bushes all close together and gave a wicked grin to the 4 assassin's and her true princess that she could see there finally her queen's plan was taking action and she could come out from under cover looking after the little brats, this was going to be fun, happy birthday little princess it shall be your last if everything goes to, as I hope it does and then the kingdom will be shadow Paladins for the taking and also for princess Ren to prove herself as a worthy are to the throne and clan. Finally, the clan can have the chance to prove that we are the stronger of the two clans we shall not hide in the shadows for much longer this land will be ours.

Shizuka's Pov

"Damn it Echidna you are this far in your plan already, I swear if that Camila woman lays a single hand on my daughter there will be hell to pay, thankfully I already have everything set up for the spell along with the 3 children she might not think it but I know princess Ren is here. I'm glad that the Bermuda's let me take their little princess Emi with me, as I thought this I looked down at the little two year old baby asleep in my arms "don't worry princess Emi you will have two big sisters to love and help you when we get to what will be your home for a while you'll even get to see your real sisters while you're there even if it is just in card form, I hope you will understand why I'm doing this one day, but for now it is just too dangerous for the three of you to being on Cray together " I finished saying with a sigh well time to get to work. I stand up pulling the hood of my cloak over my head and balance Emi on my hip I start the last phase of my plan, as I sneak through what was once my home, I can't help but look at the different paintings that are hanging up on the walls around me to see them again brings back many happy memories of my life with my husband was like but they also serve as a reminder as to why I'm doing this in the first place. They are coming and before they even arrive on this planet I know they will make a deal with Queen Echidna, but in the end betray her and take our home for themselves and I refuse to let that happen, I will train these girls to stand up to them and I know they will defeat "who goes there" a voice demands from behind me, damn I was lost in my thoughts and now I have to get out of this mess as I quickly turn around with my cloak billowing behind me I pull out my Tome and cast a sleeping spell on the guards coming my way a few seconds later the guards are passed out on the floor and I have to find a place to hide them where they can't be seen to anyone passing by but where and I can't put Emi down or she will wake up and start crying and that would just alert more people to my position what to do, what to do, hum maybe I have a levitation spell that will work as I silently flick through the pages I find the spell I need at the very back of the book, as the spell lifts the two guards up I look quickly into every room that is close by and found a closet where I put leave them to sleep and make my way further down the halls of the castle for what might be the last time as who knows how many years we will be gone form this planet.

That's all I have for this chapter but if anyone has any suggestions as to what you think should happen let me know. also thank you to Vintria for the selection of names for the Shadow Paladin queen, I'm also going to need character either units on Cray or humans on Earth for people to interact with so I will need help with that so if you would like to have your own character to appear in this story then feel free to leave me a message and you can help me find a place for your character and how they will fit into the story and plot. Thank you for reading it means a lot to me that people are trying to help me improve and encouraging me to continue with this story when sometime I think I should just give up trying to continue it.
