" Duke Cedric Ridrick ." Thomas words made Gilbert panicked
" Duke Ridrick." Just like his name that man brings nothing but storm. He wasn't a man to be messed with this was bad oh no! Why did it have to be his daughter and why didn't he recognize her. He was stupid
" Listen you have to be there, alright we've wasted enough time." Thomas looked pitifully at him and made to go but Gilbert stopped him
"Wait can you do me a small favor?" He asked urgently
" What favor." Thomas looked eager to help him. He looked at him nodding his head already
" Can you go tell prince Damian that I'm in trouble." The eagerness in Thomas face died at the mention of Damian name.
" What." He didn't hear him correctly, Damian!
" I know it's a lot to ask but my friend do you want me dead? It can't be my time now can it, please just this once." Gilbert tried his best to persuade him but Thomas was reluctant to help him
" Gilbert, what about me?" He asked innocently
" I'm going to die and you're asking about yourself, are you really my friend?" Gilbert frowned at him
" I'll try" Thomas finally agreed . Gilbert patted him and walked to the throne room.
Thomas soon realized that he had to carry out the task. Prince Damian! Hell he was already regretting agreeing to help him.

Kathy went to the training grounds and tried to spot Dylan, she looked for him for a good amount of time and she smiled when she saw him sharpening swords. Does princes do that. Anyway she went to meet him determination set in her mind.
She decided to surprise him, slowly walking to him from behind, she suddenly jumped down to his side
" Boo." She said and was satisfied when she saw his startled expression
Dylan was surprised when he saw Kathy not that she shocked him. He hadn't sensed her again, and that alone was very disturbing. He could sense anything, from powers to aura to breathing even slow breathing. The heart beat alone could give the person away. Hell he could even sense ghost but he didn't feel get presence at all. He knew that it wasn't a coincidence
" What are you doing here cat, where's that Gilbert I told him to see to it that you do not come out." He looked around and realized that she had come alone
" I was bored inside, I don't know where my maids have run off to this time." She missed them in the crowds and she hasn't seen them ever since. But she wasn't too worried Dylan wouldn't let anything happen to them.
She suddenly picked up a sword though it was heavy she added her strength and successfully lifted it up then on a stone close to her she started gliding it on the stone just like what Dylan was doing now.
" What are you doing?" He asked sharply
" What do you think I'm assisting you." She replied
" Why?" He asked
" We need all the weapons we can sharp." She said instead continuing what she was doing
" We?" Dylan frowned
" I'm going to yelgra with you." She looked at Dylan and smiled.
He was momentarily distracted by her smiling face but he soon blinked the image away.
" You're not going to yelgra with me little cat. You'll only slow me down." He stated a fact making Kathy frowned
" I'll go to yelgra with you my prince whether you want me to or not." She had decided to be more careful in calling his name out like that now that she knew some of his story. He could kill her this time when he was done playing with her
" You're not going anywhere. Little cat." He said he resumed what he was doing while he paused with sharpening the sword
" Why! Why can't I go? I want to go why won't you let me my prince." Again the words caught him off guard my prince what was wrong with his little pet.
" My prince?" He question Instead looking at her
" I've decided to call you my prince from now on. That isn't important why can't I go to yelgra with you?" She asked
" Because it's dangerous for you and in as much as I do not really like your nagging and bickering I don't want you dead yet." He said and took another knife.
Kathy selected another sword as well , being stubborn she started sharpening it again. But her little human hand were going weak the swords were heavy. She dropped the sword in utter frustration.
That mere act from her almost made Dylan smile, he found her frustration quite adorable
" Why are you acting like this besides you promised me you'll take me there." She shouted at him standing up
" I never made such a promise little cat." He said instead
" Liar! You promised me that you'll take me with you if I remembered what happened between us on our wedding night." Kathy glared down at him while Dylan looked up at her. He got up never his eyes locked with hers
" You remember what happened that night?" He asked suspiciously. She must be lying to him again.
Just then they both noticed a servant looking at them worriedly. He looked as if he wanted to say something but quickly changed his mind when he saw their eyes on him
" What do you want " Dylan demanded
Thomas bowed down his head, not wanting to meet the prince eyes.
" Um..my prince. Well... Gilbert is...is...."
" If you're having problems forming sensible words with your tongue you may leave." Dylan said
"Gilbert is in trouble." Thomas finally said. When the prince didn't say a word for a while he was forced to look up at him. Dylan was looking at him waiting to see if he had a better thing to say.
" That is all?" He checked
" Yes, Gilbert is in trouble he got caught carrying Lord Ridrick daughter unconscious and laying her body on the path close to the poison oleander flowers." Thomas saw that Dylan didn't faze like his words meant nothing to him at all
Kathy recognize him as the servant she saw talking with Gilbert a while ago. She was suddenly worried
" What sort of trouble?" She asked instead
Though Thomas was grateful she seemed interested in what he had to say he was still disappointed. What could a mere human princess do?
" He got caught..."
" I think she heard you." Dylan said.
He didn't want to but he felt it, though he couldn't feel her presence he felt the intense stare she was giving him now and it was getting impossible to ignore. He looked to see a glaring Kathy looking at him not saying anything. Oh but she was saying a lot, just with her intense glaring
Dylan returned the glare. His gaze boring into her but Kathy wasn't letting up for a second. Her eyes meant business.
Thomas was confused as to why they were just staring at each other like that. Was it a staring competition? The human princess must not be scared of their prince.
Dylan bit his lips still glaring at Kathy but he sighed and finally looked at Thomas, that action made Kathy to smile. She had won
" Where did you say Gilbert was." Dylan said leaving Thomas speechless for a while.
What just happened! He could have sworn the prince didn't give a damn. He looked at the princess, she didn't even say anything! What the hell just happened!
