Ophelia was a strong woman, despite her normally calm demeanor. And once her.mind registered that Roman was hurt, her eyes had done something no human had seen. They blackened, and her own rage set in. "GO NOW!" She shouted, and Drake obeyed this time. The brunette had protested before, but now, Ophelia's voice had overtaken him and Roman yelling too made him lifted the woman and he took off full speed, and when they were near enough to the castle he saw she hadn't been harmed from the speed and let out a breath.

"I do apologize." He said, and he gently took her hand and led her to the castle gates that were only a bit away, and stood near her and waved to the guard who opened up for them. He did as Ophelia instructed him to. "Please stay close to me." He said, and he led her into the castle, up to Ophelia's quarters and allowed her to enter, following in behind her. "Make yourself comfortable. They should be back soon."

The feeling in his gut didn't go away. He shouldn't have been forced to leave while hey fought. He knew that Ophelia favored Roman, hence her confession to him. She had.told him about her father wanting for Roman to no longer guard her, and she told Drake how she had felt about it and how Roman had stayed because of her.

But he watched out the window, waiting.

Ophelia managed to contain her anger long enough for Drake to get Andi out of harm's way. Then it wasn't pretty. She moved faster than most knew she could and she smashed Hunter 's head into a nearby wall and helped Roman take care of the remaining one before she grabbed his uninjured arm and ran. She had calmed, her eyes returning to normal, and she stopped when they were near the castle and she had tears in her eyes.

"I am so sorry, Roman." She said, frantically looking at his arm to see how bad the wound was. "I had hoped that this wouldn't happen. I never wanted anyone to get hurt, especially you." She said, and soon she saw one of the gate guards come with her father, who looked rather angry.

"Ophelia!" He growled, but he saw how frantic his daughter was, and looked to Roman. "We will discuss this when we get inside, you have a lot to explain."

"Father, it can wait." She said in retort to her father. 

"Come, Roman, We will get you fixed up. You have explaining to do yourself." He was apparently angry.

"It was.my fault, father. I snuck away, I got.us into this, but it-" She began, but she was cut off.

"Throne room, twenty minutes." He said as he took Roman away, and Ophelia felt her heart drop. She shook her head and nearly flew into her quarters and saw Drake and the woman there.

"Mi'lady, where is Roman?" He asked.

"Father.is tending to him. I have some explaining to do." She said, now calm. She.looked to the woman. "I apologize for what happened back there, I was hoping that it wouldn't result in violence. I would like to ask for your company in the throne room, when I go to explain my actions to my father. We will tend to you more delicately after the fact. Get you some food and some warmer clothes, as well as set you up with any other amenities you find that you need."

Drake looked to her. "Mi'lady, I apol-"

"You did nothing wrong, I ordered you to go against your oath. It was my fault." She said, turning back to the woman. "If you don't want to accompany me, I understand, I will have someone come to tend to your needs. If you will excuse, I need to check on Roman."

She left and Drake looked to Andi. "I will escort you to the throne room, if you so choose."
