Fitz held himself on edge as Collete told him she couldn't marry him. His face fell and he wanted to do something, anything, but he was just as frozen as the guards behind him. This wasn't the same as his mother's death, but it hurt. He wanted to beg her to marry him, but he had sworn that he would only ask her once.<br/><br/>She ran and the guards tried to stop her. They fought, and she beat them. She was graceful as she did and all Fitz could do was watch. He was frozen in pain.<br/><br/>Cinderella was running away from him again. He was left with just her shoe, again. One of the still mounted guards was after her and Fitz just wanted it to stop. He didn't care anymore. He was shutting himself off from the emotion he had let bleed through in the last few hours.<br/><br/>The guard scooped her up and had his dagger at her throat. The two guards that had been just behind Fitz brought him his horse. "I said to leave her be. Let her go."<br/><br/>"We are sorry sir, but we are under orders from your father to arrest this woman. She killed a guard last night in the stable." Fitz shook his head confused.
