Love to the Rescue

After decades of peace, trouble has come to the Nine Kingdoms. Jemma, princess of the kingdom of Skelion, has been kidnapped by a mysterious villain known only as "the Ward". Fearing for their daughter's life, King Phillip and Queen Melinda send letters to every royal in the Kingdoms, pleading for aid. All refuse to lend their help. All, that is, except one- Holden, king of Academie, who commands his adopted son Leo to travel to Skelion and pledge his service to the king and queen in finding their daughter. His motives are not pure, however- he seeks to form a marriage alliance between Academie and Skelion, and believes that sending his son to help find the lost princess will be just the push Phillip and Melinda need to grant their daughter's hand to him. Despite his misgivings about both the task ahead of him and his father's motives, Leo agrees to do as his father commands. In truth, he has been in love with Princess Jemma since they were both children, and he knows that he can not willingly leave her in danger when he is the only one who might be able to rescue her from it.
