Prince Harry's Arrest

''The Kingdom of Persia will not be signing the treaty.''

Prince Bane told his ever loyal subjects pump and plain that he was not going to give in.

The energy in the crowd became multiple times bustled, and there was an uproar, as expected.

''We don't mind if you don't sign the treaty, but Prince of Princes, you have to do something about the hunger. You can't lead a kingdom who has nothing to eat, can you? We will be as good as dead bodies in the next couple of weeks.'' Someone from the revolution yelled at Prince Bane and others quickly keyed in, agreeing with him.

''Yes, we are hungry. How can we live like this?'' The uproar was deafening, and Xavier feared for his nephew who stood just inches away from the crowd.

''My Prince, you have to step back a little bit, these guys are getting wild and would soon be beyond control.'' One of the guards closest to Prince Bane whispered to him.

''They wouldn't dare to touch me.'' Prince Bane replied to the guard with a sarcastic chuckle.

''We just want food.''

''Yes, nothing more. We just want to eat, our children look like sticks already.''

''Prince Of Princes, we the Persians have never gone through this sort of hardship before. If you can just save us the stress.''

''We will soon have to retire to other KIngdoms and live Persia empty, since there is no food in the kingdom.''

'Yes! Yes! We will leave Persia.''

Different opinions flew left, right and center at the Prince of Princes, Bane of Persia, and he stood there listening to everyone keenly.

''What are we going to do now?'' Xavier whispered.

''It seems like a lost cause already. I wonder what will happen.''

''Return to your houses, my good people of Persia. I, your Prince, who has b=never failed you will ensure that this hunger will be brought to an end, and all the prepertrators behind it will be made to take responsibility for their actions. They will all be brought to book.'' Prince Bane addressed the people and as soon a she was done speaking, he turned around and walked away, living the Persians wild with an uproar further.

''Arrest Prince Harry Vandersar.'' Prince Bane, as soon as he was in the confines of his throneroom, put out the order.

''Bane!'' Xavier did not believe what he had just heard.

Prince Bane raised his eyes to look at his uncle.

''We have not yet signed the treaty, so Magus is still under Persia, and what the Vandersar Princes are doing by stopping the supply of food to us is known as nothing but treason. Arrest Harry. In fact, arrest everyone of them including the Usylon girl or whatever she calls herself.'' Prince Bane made the statement and dismissed Xavier.

Xavier, confused, stood at a spot for a couple of seconds looking at his nephew who seemed to have made up his mind, then he turned around with guts and was determined to carry out Prince Bane's order.

''Prince Harry, you are under arrest.''

This was not time for child's play as the Persian Police Chief of Security went with Xavier and other men of the forces to Magus. Seeing the heavy entourage at the gate, the servant at the gate knew not to disrupt the process as he knew that Persia had taken it upon themselves to apprehend Prince Harry this time.

The servant at the gate did not stop the entourage from entering the Vandersar Palace, and before anyone knew what was happening, the entourage were at the front door of teh Vandersar Palace, about to break their way into the Palace if possible.

Prince Harry who had rushed out when he heard that heavy intrusion, stood in front of the enotourage as the gently told him to follow them back to Persia.

''What crime have I committed?'' Prince Harry put up a resistance, but this time, the Persians were ready.

''You will know when we get to Persia.'' The chief security grabbed Prince Bane's hand and cufffed him instantly.

Luckily, the other Princes, Barry and Larry, had made their way into the town of Magus with Margaret, so there was no way that they could be arrested as well even though Prince Bane wished that all the Princes as well as Margaret could be arrested so that he could have them curbed under his watch.

But arresting Harry was as good as arresting the entire Magus so it was still okay.

The servants at the Vandersar Palace watched helplessly as Prince Harry was taken away, and there was absolutely nothing they could do to stop it. However, one of them hurried in search of the other Princes to inform them of what had just happened, hoping that they could stop Prince Harry's arrest.

Well, it was too late because the Persian entourage left with Prince Harry immediately.

Prince Harry was taken staright to his cell and was not even allowed to see Bane first.

''You had your chance.'' Xavier said as he looked into Prince Harry's cell from outside.

''You do not have the right to do this.'' Prince Harry held on to the cell gates as he spoke to Xavier.

''Harry, what did you expect when you started to commit treason against Persia and against the entire eight kingdoms?'' Xavier asked.

''Treason?'' Prince Harry could not understand how he was being arrested for treason, which was such a heavy cause.

Xavier nodded.

'How? What did I do apart from trying to make sure that the treaty was signed? Magus is no longer Persia. From the recent turn of events, are you not tired of hearing the same argument? Why won't Bane just sign the treaty and let Magus become a sovereign kingdom?'' Prince Harry jerked the cell gates angrily as he spoke to Xavier, saliva flying out of his mouth as he said those words with anger and vigour.

''The treaty will never be signed.'' The familiar voice of Prince Bane sounded from outside the cell.
