father?!?” They exclaimed, a little panic in his voice. Amber ran over to a guard and confirmed it. As another guard approached, he said,

“Prince Liam, you need to go back to Valar and watch your kingdom. This guy is super dangerous.” 

“This guy is someone we know!” Liam exclaimed,

“You need to go watch your kingdom!” Liam looked back at his kingdom and then at Amber talking to a different guard.
