           "Promise me you'll come back Edward," Marianne said softly looking at Edward beside her.

           "I promise I'll come back, just like I promised before when we were still very young," the assurance of Prince Edward smiling at Marianne. "But for now I have to leave you here, I need to talk to Lex and the other dwarf knights so we can plan our attack."

           Prince Edward then kissed Marianne and left to converse with other dwarf knights.
