After some days have passed Cane started recovering, Rachel was so happy a situation that left questions to her friends, they all thought that she has fallen for him.
The king was so worried since it was a week, week and a day, and now almost two weeks his daughter hasn't returned yet. The king called for Nakusha, the great soldier and friend he trusts. (Nakusha had a son Raj, who was prepared to marry Rachel when the king abducts his throne to his daughter)
King: Nakusha my friend.
Nakusha: Yes, your Majesty!
King: Please go to the flower mountain and look for my daughter, bring her back to me.
Nakusha: Yes, my king.
King: Take care.
Nakusha bowed to the king and left.
Nakusha and few soldiers started the journey to the flower mountain, they took the fastest horse so it took them a half day ride. Nakusha searched the mountain and suddenly saw a tent from a far. He and the soldiers rushed away with worries after seeing lots of blood on the ground. Everyone was relieved after seeing that the princess was safe.
Nakusha: My princess, what happened here?
Princess: I'm not sure either, but we were attached.
Nakusha: And who is he? (pointing Cane)
Princess: His name his Cane, he is a merchant, we saved him from robbers, he (with weak voice ) saved my life too. So we will take him home with us.
Nakusha: But my princess the ki....
Princess: Don't worry. I will handle my father.
Nakusha: Yes, your highness.
The journey started back to the kingdom, but still Cane wasn't in a proper condition though he started gaining counsiousness. It took them two days to reach the kingdom.
Nancy: My princess it's not okay to take this stranger home.
Princess: He is no longer a stranger, he saved my life remember?
Maria: he is also handsome.
Princess: stop joking around (she smiled).
The gates of the kingdom were opened Nakusha escorted the princess inside. People were so happy to welcome their beautiful princess back home.
The king rushed to hug his precious daughter, he was so happy to see her very fine and unharmed.
King: Who is this? He asked after seeing Cane.
Princess: He is the merchant whom we meet him on our way to the mountain, and he saved my life.
King: What happened?
Princess: Some bandits only it isn't a big deal so don't worry too much father.
King: You may take a rest for you had a long journey.
Princess: Thanks father.
"Please take care of him for me" she told Maria.
"Yes, my princess" she answered.
Cane was taken to one of the rooms were he was treated his wounds by good doctors, Raj Nakusha's son and expected husband to the princess wasn't happy seeing Cane who was given a proper care with the princess. So Raj started keeping an eye on him as his condition improved and started walking around. Raj became more suspicious as he saw Cane taking his walks around the palace mostly.
Raj: My princess
Princess: What is it Raj?
Raj: This man whom you brought to our kingdom, he isn't trustworthy.
Princess: Are you jealous that am looking after a no man (while smiling)
Raj: No it's just...
Princess: just what?
Raj: Never mind.
Princess and Cane became more and more closer as days went on.
Princess: How is your wound (while touching Cane's chest to where he was shot)
Cane: am fine (touching the princess's arm)
The princess was shy that she took her hand off. " It's good, I will see you later" she said and went away with a smile holding her hands together.
Cane started making friend and most of the were soldiers. whom he used to chat with them sometimes. Though he seemed suspicious to Raj but he was a nice Manon other people's eyes.
One day as Lidya was passing by Canes room she accidentally saw Cane doing exercises through an open window. Cane was throwing knives, boxing on air, according to Lidya's eyes and since she is a fighter she knew right away that Cane is also a fighter, so she had many questions on her head but she didn't tell anyone so she started spying on him so she may know his plans.
One day during night hours, Cane entered his room he found a note and he seemed not surprised as he read it.
Cane found his way outside the palace and Lidya was still following him step by step so she may no where he was going on that night. Cane he he was walking he knew that he is been followed so he tried finding his way to escape Lidya.
Cane went into the forest to a place where a tree is marked with a scorpion image and waited there.
"Hello John!" The voice was head, and then a masked man came from behind him
Cane turned around and knelt down facing the ground, "Yes, master" he answered.
Master: Your taking so long to finish your job that sent you there, Why?
Cane(John): No master, it Will be done as fast as possible.
Master: Some are now suspecting you look at her (Cane/John turned and saw dead Lidya's body laying on the ground) she was following you and after you knew it you still ignored her, so before you loose the princess trust you have to finish your job.
John: I didn't see the reason to kill her, they saved my life
Master: Ha_ha_ha_ha!(laughing loudly) it was your mistake and carelessness.
The plan was perfect you take the arrow beside you chest, but....what happened exactly?
John(Cane): I slipped, forgive me for taking long time.
(Cane was a well trained soldier who can even avoid a shoot arrow and he was on mountain flower to meet the princess on purpose)
(So what is his mission???????)
