Sameria is a county with much evil magic and whom many countries fear greatly. The three princes from Lumbridge (Philip, Dominic and John) are going to get help from the princesses (Michele, Rachel and Nicole) of Varrock.

Chapter One
The Meeting
•♦•
Philip, Dominic and John are the princes of Lumbridge. They are in the capital city of Varrock in a tavern. The rain outside has prevented them from finishing their journey today.
"Do you think that Michele, Rachel, and Nicole will be up to seeing us so early in the week, Philip?" asked Dominic.
"They would be delighted to see us anytime. Remember the fun we had as children playing in the fields and woods?" answered Philip.
John said, "Those three men over there have not stopped watching since we entered. What is their interest, do you suppose?"
All at once the tallest of those watchers stood and approached their table.
"Are you the princes from Lumbridge?" he asked in a gravely voice.
"We have been looking for you to take you to the palace. The ladies are expecting you."
The man then turned around. His two companions joined him at the door.
"Come," said the tall man.
The three princes looked at each other and nodded. It was good that they were expected. They looked forward to being dry, warm and fed once again.
Outside the three men turned down a side road to the palace.
"Have you figured out who we are yet?" said the shortest one.
John, who was the one prince to always speak his mind, replied coldly, "How would we do that? I have never seen you before in my life."
Then the one who had not said anything yet giggled in a way that a man would never do and said in a girly voice, "You guys are so stupid, I bet you didn’t learn a thing since last summer. I am Rachel, princess of Varrock."

Chapter Two
Sword Maids

Dominic, Philip, and John all dropped their mouths in disbelief. As the princesses took off their capes. "You’re the princesses all right!" Dominic said, "Why are you in disguise?"
Nicole answered the question. "We’re suppose to be in lady-like lessons right now, but we hate them. We want to have some action!" Then sheepishly she said, "We kind of snuck out , but they’re used to it by now."
"What do you mean!?" John said in surprise.
Rachel replied happily, "Down the tower in the stable, through the hunting grounds under the moat and you’re FREE!"
They all were surprised that she would admit their deceitfulness because to them she was a perfect angel.
"Let’s just go to the palace and get some food in our stomachs," Dominic said.
When they arrived at the palace after the long walk on the dirt road, a very cheerful young lady came running down the stairs.
"Oh good, you’re back. Did you have a good time playing truant from your lady-like lessons today?"
Rachel, Michele and Nicole all looked at each other.
"How did you know that we were not there at the lessons this afternoon?" Nicole inquired with a tremor in her voice.
The maid laughed and said, "As you might already know, the maids know everything, my dear."
The three princes laughed a little. Rachel elbowed John in the arm and said, "It’s not funny."
He knew that she was just kidding.
When they got to the dining room, they saw King Henry sitting at the table. He said, "Where were you? I thought that I could trust you! I guess that I was wrong. If you’re going to learn to sneak out you better use it, you will have no dinner tonight!"
The girls could not eat, but the boys could. They dug into the excellent food as the hungry travelers they were. The girls waited in another room until they knew the princes were done eating and then the king, princes and princesses started to talk about the war.
Philip began, "Our country is under fierce attack. We desperately need some help. Will you please come to our country’s aid?"
King Henry looked at the pleading faces of his daughters. "I think that I could not go. My own country is in need of my presence for the troubles we face, but I could send my daughters with you," he mused. "They know how to command troops. I will talk it over with the queen. I will tell you what we have decided."
As they waited for him to talk it over with the queen, they were deciding what to do.
"What are we going to do?" asked Nicole.
"I don’t know, but we’ll think of something," John said hopefully.
As they waited patiently outside the door, they were thinking of all the things they did when they were young. It was a relief to not have to think about wars and battles. They thought about when they played together in the fields.
It seemed like not even a minute had passed when the king and queen stepped into the room. They were very anxious.
King Henry said with some excitement, "We have decided that you three my go to the war and help the county of Lumbridge."
The girls were so excited they jumped up and down before they realized that they had a lot to do ahead of them.

Chapter Three
Preparing for a Fight
•♦•
First of all they had to prepare the troops, not to mention get troops. As they got ready to go to Lumbridge, the maid came in with a solemn look on her face. Nicole, Michele and Rachel looked at each other wondering what had gone wrong. The maid was always so happy and now when she is not happy. They knew something terrible had gone wrong.
"What’s wrong?" John said in sadness almost as if he did not want to know what was wrong.
"I’m terribly sorry to tell you this, but Queen Anna is ill. We think she has been poisoned. She has not been sick for so long and she has not done anything much different," said the maid with great sorrow in her voice as she spoke.
Rachel, Michele, Nicole, Philip, John and Dominic all looked at each other and they all wondered how they could go to war with the queen so sick. They were also thinking who could have done this terrible thing. The girls had an idea who might have done this. They knew that the person who did this didn’t want them to go to war and help save Lumbridge. They thought of all the people they knew for a while. Then they stopped thinking and turned to look at each other and at that very moment they knew who had done it.
They all went down out of the girls’ bedrooms and went to see Sir Edward the knight. They searched the palace almost everywhere until they found him in one of the dungeon rooms. He was holding a green bottle, which had a skull on the front, and was pouring it into a glass of orange juice for the queen.
"Are you making the queen a drink?" Michele said in a way which also meant ‘we know what you’re up to and you won’t get away with it’. Sir Edward was surprised to see them standing in the doorway.
" Yes, I am," Sir Edward said trying not to make it obvious what he was putting in the drink. "You see the queen is ill and I thought she might enjoy a cup of orange juice. I’m just trying to help." He said with guiltiness in his voice.
"And you thought she might like some yummy poison in there too, hmm?" Nicole said. Sir Edward just stood trying to hide the bottle and put it in a bag behind him. Then he took the cup and said, "I’m just making a drink for the queen I want her to be well again." He said, not trying to make himself not sound murderous.
