Fundy POV

Fundy rushed into the servants quarters, shaking like mad. Over the past few years the servants and knights had grown closer in their friendships. More often than not, the knights were seen hanging out with the servants.

"Guys!" he screeched, skidding to a halt.

Immediately everyone looked up.

"What's wrong?" Niki asked, jumping to her feet at the sight of him.

"The queen wants me to kill Tommy!" he exclaimed, panic filling his voice.

Ranboo's eyes widened, "What?!" 

"What do I do?!" Fundy panicked, his eyes wide with fear. He couldn't kill him, he couldn't.

Niki thought for a moment, "What if you give her a pig's heart instead? Bring him into the woods and have him hide there. Then when it's safe, we'll bring him back."

"But what if she finds him?" Eret asked, trying to smooth out the flaws of this plan.

"We'll keep him hidden." Ranboo put in, knowing this was the only plan could follow.

"This could work." Fundy sighed, relaxing a little. 

It was their only hope.

Tommy POV

"So where are we going?" Tommy finally asked, skipping through the forest. It had been so long since he had been allowed out of the castle and he was enjoying every minute of it.

Fundy bit his lip, not really wanting to tell him the truth. "I'll tell you where we get there."

"But Fundyyyyy." Tommy whined playfully. Fundy grinned, but stayed silent.

The forest was peaceful, filled with soft streams and looming trees. You would never know how dangerous it was as night by the way it was seen in the day. Flowers bloomed among the ferns, making Tommy's smile widened.

He ran through them, picking up some as he went. He began to weave them together, into something he hadn't made in years. A flower crown. Tommy smiled as he urged Fundy to kneel before him.

Fundy complied, and Tommy placed the crown on his head. 

"Thank you Tommy." Fundy smiled, he couldn't help but have sympathy for the poor boy. After everything he had been through, the young prince continued to be the spark he always was.

"Now will you tell meeee?" Tommy gave him the best puppy eyes he could.

Fundy shook his head, "Where's your flower crown?" He was surprised to see the Tommy hadn't even attempted to make himself one.

His bright blue eyes dimmed for a second, "I don't deserve one."

"Of course you do!" Fundy couldn't believe his ears. What had that woman done to him? "You are the prince after all."

Tommy shrugged, but said nothing. He didn't believe a word of what Fundy said, knowing that what the queen had told him was true. He was worthless.

Finally Fundy came to a stop, deeming that they were far enough. "Tommy... there's something I need to tell you."

"What is it?" the blonde tilted his head, confused as to why Fundy had turned serious all the sudden.

Fundy took a breath, it's now or never. "The real reason I took you out here... uh..." He shook his head, not wanting to destroy the fragile boy. "The queen wanted me to kill you."

Tommy's eyes widened and he immediately backed away. "Y-you wouldn't... you're my friend-d. Aren't you?"

"I'm not going to kill you Tommy, I promise." Fundy spoke gently, not wanting to scare the kid more. "I'm going to save you."

Tommy let out a sigh of relief, but kept his distance. He slowly began to process what Fundy had said. Tears clouded his vision. "She... wants me dead?" His voice was small like a hurt animal.

Fundy nodded, "She's a horrible woman."

But Tommy wasn't thinking about that. "Why would she want me dead? What-t did I do wrong?" he whimpered.

"Oh Tommy, you didn't do anything wrong-"

"Then why doesn't she love me?" his head hung low.

"Tommy look at me." Tommy slowly lifted his head and met his eyes. "Nothing you could have done would change her. She's hated everyone from the beginning. Don't blame yourself for something you can't control."

Tommy slowly nodded, keeping his doubt to himself.

Fundy dropped a bag in front of him, offering it to the blonde. "I'll come back in a few days, okay? This should be enough till then."

Tommy took it before looking back up at Fundy. "Thank you." he whispered.

Fundy nodded, "Stay safe, alright?"

And with that they parted.

Fundy POV

"Is it done?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Fundy bowed, ignoring the blood that was dripping into his mouth from biting his lip so hard.

Ivory smiled wickedly, "We should have a celebration! You can't even imagine how long I've waited for this moment, to have that little brat out of my life!"

Fundy nodded, knowing not to disagree with her.

"You're dismissed." she waved him off, dancing around her room.

Fundy sent one final glare to her before leaving. 

How could someone be so evil?
