Rogue on the Run (The Devereaux Story)/Chapter 6

The three were still shocked to find out that the rogue was actually Princess Savina. Johan was the most shocked.

"But...but...how....why?" Johan stuttered.

"You guys really wanna know?" Savina asked them. The three nodded.

Savina took a deep breath, "Being a princess is so boring!! All I ever do is sit and sit and sit! I solve problems all day, attend parties a lot, and feasts are so exhausting! I wanna live like you guys, doing dangeorus things, helping out face-to-face, and begin free! Letting my hair down and getting some exercise!"

"You're write on the hair thing," Johan dreamily gazed at her.

Savina smiled at Johan, "And you make a pretty blonde."

"Thanks!" Johan giggled.

"So, let me get this straight," Peewit figured, "You were the one that was helping out everyone?"

"Oh no!" Johan realized, "I was hating on Savina! What is wrong with me?!?"

"Drama king," Peewit muttered.

"It's okay, Johan," Savina put a comforting hand on his shoulder, "You didn't know it was me. Although, I'm really sorry for doing your guys' jobs.

"It's okay, your highness," Julia forgave her, "After all, you were helping out the forest."

"Unlike this nincompoop who was trashing the place just to get your attention," Peewit pointed to Johan. Johan nudged his head in annoyance.

Savina giggled, "I'm glad I wasn't causing any really trouble."

"Well, the King is super worried about you," Peewit explained, "Probably as much as Johan here. He panicked like a child to got lost in the woods!"

"Peewit, stop talking," Johan eyed him.

"But, Peewit was right about one thing, Savina," Julia agreed with Peewit, making him blush, "Your father is worried sick about you."

"He probably is literally sick, but we don't know," Peewit added.

"You should really return home," Julia continued.

"Okay," Savina sulked, but then perked up, "Maybe, I can help you guys protect the forest sometime? Like, maybe as an honorary member?"

The three huddled into a group and thought about this. When the finally reached a verdict, Julia was the one to answer, "Sure, Savina. As long as you keep doing your job as princess, We'll let you in to fight sometime."

And so, with Princess Savina safely home and the forest in order once again, the three never had to worry about losing their jobs again, and Savina became an honorary member of what they now called the Forest Scouts.
