"It's on the path to the right of the main path, when you are walking north." Milliardo said, explaining to the Princess where the ditches were dug. "That is the first one. The second one is on the same path but farther ahead. They are both marked so you can tell where they are."

"How are they marked?" Relena inquired listening intently to the directions. Quatre and Milliardo looked at each other and smiled. "Well?"

"Three feet in front of each ditch, on the right side there is a red cloth piece tied to a tree. It's a small, dull-red piece. It's easy to spot if you're looking for it." Quatre said informing the Princess of what she needed to know.

Relena smiled kindly at the three men. "Thank you so very much. I'll call for you through one of my servants again if I need you." Bowing the three men left into the darkness of the night.

"I think," Relena said turning to her handmaid Ella. "that I will ask Heero to accompany me for a walk in the woods tomorrow." She smiled as Ella began to giggle. "I sure do hope that this will make him call off the wedding. I'll leave him in there alone all night if needed." Sighing she sat on a bench. "I honestly don't want to hurt anyone. But then again, I really don't want to get married. Not if I am going to do what I have planned to do." Ella sat down next to Relena and gave her a hug.

"Princess Relena, things must be done. I think that your reason for staying is so great, that it justifies all of this that you are doing to Prince WuFei."

Relena huged Ella back. "Thank you Ella. I needed that." she smiled. "But it is going to feel so good pushing him into the ditch after the way he was talking to me the other day at breakfast."

Laughing Ella and Princess Relena got up and headed for the palace. Not being aware at all of the Myenaian knight emerging from behind the rose bushes.

Walking out on her balcony that connected to her room Princess Relena took in the sun of a new day. Squinting her eyes against the sun she looked out at the poverty town below. She frowned. Even viewing from afar it was obvious that the people were in dire need of many things. "I think I'll take a trip into town today Ella." She said loudly so Ella, who was inside, could hear her.

"Into town madam?" Ella said walking up and standing next to her highness. "Whatever for?"

"Before you came I used to disquise myself and go there. I would take money and spread it around a bit." She smiled broadly at the memories. "I think it will be fun to take you. I have a few friends there who I help out with money. They would probably like to meet you." Ella's eyes glittered and she smiled excitedly. Relena laughed lightly at her friend's great enjoyment. "They have a few daughters. One, a little younger than you, can be a good playmate. You don't have to work all of the time."

"What will we wear so as not to be spotted?" Ella questioned. "I do not remember seeing anything but expensive clothing in your closets and drawers."

"It's in a box on the right side of my bed. Under my bed of course. Be a dear and go fetch it." Nodding Ella went and did as bid. Bringing back a good-sized box with several different peasnt outfits in it, along with a few other select items. Setting the box cdown Ella picked up one of the dull-colored and worn dresses. "That one looks like it will fit you." Relena commented picking up a weather-worn shawl. "Use this with it. It doesn't match. I know. But that in a way makes it more believeable."

Nodding Ella picked up the box and caried it inside, with Princess Relena behind her. "We should leave soon." Relena said picking up a different dress than Ella's in the box. "It's still early in the morning and I don't want to get caught by my father or those men and the prince from Meyna."

Quickly changing into the peasants' clothes Relena went to her drawers and started rummaging through them. Finding a leather purse of hers that was full of gold and silver coins she tied it with a thin rope around her waist. Looking at Ella she smiled. "I'm ready."
