What's Been Happening

''Margaret, how are you this...'' Larry had woken up much later and hurried to see Margaret as he was used to doing, only for him to see his brother entangled with the love of his life.

''Barry, since when did you ever wake up so early?'' Prince Larry naturally thought that the only person that would be in the arms of Margaret at that time was Barry, as Harry had still not returned.

Well, he was in for a shocker.

Harry turned around to look at his brother, revealing himself to Larry.

''Harry!'' Larry yelled at the top of his voice and stood shocked for a while before he was able to walk towards the bed where Harry lay, still looking tired.

''What? How did? What happened? When did you return?'' Larry hugged his brother and just as Larry was getting acquainted with the return of Harry, Barry and McGuire barged into the room.

''Harry!''

''Prince!''

''McGuire!''

Barry was shocked to see Harry, McGuire was shocked to see Harry as well, and Prince Harry was shocked to see that McGuire had woken up.

''My goodness, what has been going on since I left. You lot always have something up your sleeve.'' Prince Harry got particularly excited when he saw McGuire, and all forms of sleep departed from his eyes. He quickly got up and walked towards McGuire.

''What did you dream of after sleeping for one month?'' Harry thought that McGuire only woke up naturally, little did he know that McGuire woke up bearing secrets that would drive him, Harry, crazy.

''And how did you make it out of Persia? Did you...escape?'' McGuire thought that escaping was the only way Prince Harry would have made it back to Magus, and he was right.

Prince Harry nodded.

''I escaped. Wait, what am I hearing about the maid?'' Prince Harry asked.

''You have no idea. Do you know that she is the notorious girlfriend of Prince Bane? She's the person who is known to met out the worst punishments on anyone who disobeyed her boyfriend. She came here to destroy us.''

''Yes, all the way from Persia, that woman brought her wickedness here to Magus and even went as far as pretending to be a maid, just so that she can stop the unio from holding.''

Prince Barry and Larry had both said what they knew about Macy, now it was time for McGuire to speak.

''My Prince, it all started on the day before the union. I returned from an errand only to sight the maid acting strangely. I came to find out that she was hiding so that she could poison Margaret's coffee. I would have stopped her and caught her right there and then, but I was interested in so much more so I quickly drank the coffee from Margaret even though I only managed to be lucky because Margaret would have drunk that coffee. Well, long story short, I thought it was ordinary poison where I could go over and take an antidote, unknown to me it was Prisms Poison. That was how I started sleeping until I woke up before time and saw her, the maid, plotting to kill me.''

McGuire said everything that happened between Macy and him, and waited for the Prince's reaction.

''We thought that we will never see you again so we tried to use her to bargain your release from Persia. Tell me, did Bane accept our request to be removed from the eight kingdoms?'' Prince Larry asked.

Prince Harry heard everything that everyone said and quietly looked around him.

''Where is the so-called maid?'' Prince Harry's disgust for Prince Bane suddenly became evident, and the young Prince could not wait to transfer the hate he had for Prince Bane on his girlfriend, Sent.

''She is locked up in one of the rooms. Guess what also, her name is Sent, and not Macy or whatever she called herself.''

Prince Harry shook his head and he started to walk towards the room where Macy was kept.

''I hope the butler is not also lying to us. He seemed to get along with Macy or whatever so well before I left. Hopefully we don't also have a spy in him.'' Prince Harry navigated the palace while he spoke, heading to the maids room.

''The butler had better be clean or else he might not get to live as long as the maid has lived after we must have fished him out.'' Roger heard McGuire say that to Prince Harry, and he fidgeted where he was.

What should he do? Should he tell the Vandersar Princes that he was also from Persia? Maybe if he confessed, they would let him go easily, right? Or maybe he should just be patient and wait until he can escape. As far as Sent did not expose him, nobody would know that he was from Persia and he would not do anything to hurt the Princes or Margaret, so he could safely hang around until he was free to escape.

''There she is, the scumbag. She has been spying on us the entire time. It's so creepy to imagine that the devil has been staring right into our eyes the entire time. We are just so lucky that she has not killed our wife, Margaret by now. How creepy.'' Larry latched on to Margaret's arms as he spoke, dreading the fact that they would have lost Margaret if McGuire did not wake up from sleeping forever.

Sent had been in that room for long enough to make her look depraved and worthless. Her hair hung loose and stuck to her face due to the heat that caused her to sweat. Of course a prisoner was not going to be allowed comfort in his or her cell, so there was no ventilation nor way of making the room that Sent was in cool.

''I must applaud you and your boyfriend, you have the nerve to come this close to killing me and my family and failed.''
