very early the next day cyma was already waiting for Dorian with her horse by the city gate.
" you're late" she said as he arrived with his horse
" I had to sort out somethings before leaving" he said
' okay, so shall we?' she asked climbing her horse
" we aren't passing the gate, I don't want His Majesty to find out your left the city without his permission" he said
" His Majesty knows" she said
" I know you princess cyma, you snuck out of the palace" he said leading her to the other way
" the same way you're sneaking me out of the city" she said following him
They passed through the bushes, some hills and finally a bridge across the stream and they were outside of the city
" where exactly are we going?" she asked
" I should be asking for that" he said
" me?" she asked confused
" you're the one who wanted to go out, you must surely have a place in mind" he said
" excuse me, I've never been out of the city so how will I know where I want to go" she said
" I guess we should just turn back then, you're already out of the city so mission accomplished" he said turning his horse around
" wait, ... I have heard a lot about the land of gold, why don't we go there" she said
" no, pick another place" he said
" but why?" she asked
" we're not going to go there, simple" he said
" how about the platinum village" she said
" okay" he said turning back to the direction
" let's go then, try to keep up" he said as his horse rode faster
" is that a challenge " she said catching up with him
They paused at the river for a while for their horses to drink water.
" about yesterday " Cyma said
" what happened yesterday" he said
" last night, you.. just forget it " she said
" I'm a decent guy, I won't get close to you " he said
" you're really decent, to be taking your financee sister out" she said
" are you jealous?" he asked
" me, jealous. no way, I'm just trying to prove that you aren't that decent " she said and they were both shot with spikes on their neck
" you're gonna get us in so much trouble" he said before they passed out
Quiana went to Young Lord Dorian's villa and Brooke served her tea
" where is your master?" she asked
" he went out for some urgent work" he said
" regarding the other night" she said
" which other night?" he asked feigning ignorance
" you know what I'm talking about " she said
" oh, that. what happened to the night" he asked
" um.. I was unconscious so you can't count it as anything " she said
" I didn't count it as anything before. it's just a usual night to me, nothing special." he said
" what does he mean by nothing special, he spent a night with the princess and he didn't count it as something special. what does he take me for?" Quiana thought
" is that all you want to say, I have some work to do" he said
" he's even driving me out, he does value me at all" quiana thought
" princess, I need to get back to work" he said showing her the door
" sure" she said faking a smile as she stood up to leave
Brooke escorted her to the door, she was about to say something but he shut the door on her face
" who does he think he is, to throw me out like that" Quiana thought as she banged the door.
" what happened?" Brooke said opening the door
" it's you again" he added seeing her still standing outside
" I'll stay till Dorian gets back, I'm not going anywhere " she said pushing him aside as she entered
" but..."
" it's an order" she said going to sit.
Dorian and cyma woke up and they found themselves in a room amidst strangers h
pointing weapons at them
" it took you time to wake up" a lady said
," where are we?, who are you people" cyma asked
" you're in my territory and you don't need to know who we are, I'll be asking the questions. what were both of you doing on my property shouting and disturbing our peace " the lady asked
" well, we're travellers and we went to get water. we didn't mean to disturb you " Dorian said
" how are you both related?" the lady asked
' he's my friend,, you can take him if you want. he surely make a good sale in the market. he so handsome, tall and muscular and he's a good cook" Cyma said
" just imagine, she's selling me out to save herself " Dorian thought
" he is actually good looking" the lady said
" see, you can have him. I'll just get going" cyma said getting up
" sit!" the lady yelled
" she look pissed" cyma whispered to Dorian
" of course she is" Dorian thought shaking his head
" you're that princess from Fale city, princess cyma and u must be young master Zion. you look more handsome than the rumors " the lady said collecting both their jade pendent
" actually, he's not Zion. he's Dorian " cyma said
" you got to be kidding me, the same Dorian we have been looking for" the lady said laughing
" you came back, it's been long you know. you ran away from my mum's performance fifteen years ago in the land of gold and now you're back here with me. isn't this nice" the lady said
" so you know each other, that's nice" cyma said feeling awkward as the lady and Dorian just keep staring at each other
" Damini, I have a fiancee already. I can't marry you" Dorian finally said
" Damini, so that's her name. wait, when did she speak about marriage and why is he trying to get me involve in his mess" cyma thought
" and who is that if I might ask, who can be as pretty as me" Damini said
" she is very pretty though, and I can't be compared to her as well" cyma thought
" she is my fiancee, the one I love with all my heart. my one true love, the one I can't spend a day without" Dorian said pointing at cyma
" this idiot, just leave me at of this" cyma thought
" oh, really" Damini said checking cyma out
" she is pretty but also naive, does she know everything about you Dee" Damini asked
" I'm confused, who is Dee and what are you talking about" cyma said
" looks like you haven't told them your true intention" Damini said
" I'm still lost" cyma said
" should I tell her or would you do that yourself" Damini asked
" fire, fire !!!!!" some one shouted and everyone started running Helter scatter.
" there is a fire" cyma said and Dorian dragged her out of there and they started running
" don't let them escape from here, find them as soon as possible" Damini said to her men.
When they was no where to go, Dorian dragged her into an empty room.
" okay, you have a lot of explaining to do" cyma said
" that will only be possible if we get out of here alive" he said
" you selfish... self centered guy that only cares about himself, why did you have to drag me into this" she said.
" oh really, I'm selfish. I'm not surprised it's coming from someone who sold me off at sword point" he said
" oh... don't try to turn the tables here...." she was saying before he dragged her waist, pulling her closer to him before pinning his lips to hers and using the bed spread to cover them
