" So the whole town was just an illusion," Saul asked walking behind Zidane waiting for Zidane to answer him. " Zidane why are you so quiet?"
But Zidane just continued to walk.
" Zidane?," Saul repeated getting irritated.
" As soon as we find a town I want all of you to stay there while I go to Deltoran," Zidane said ignoring Saul's question.
" All by yourself. Are you crazy?!," Saul said shocked.
" Rellion probably has some kind of plan. And just incase he does I can't bring you guys or you guys would just get in the way," Zidane said not looking back at them.
Saul clenched his fist in anger. " Weren't we the one's that saved your behind from the cobra?!!," Saul yelled.
" Yeah and I want to thank you for that. But this is just between Rellion and me. And I can't have you jumping in," Zidane said taking a small glance back at them. " I wasn't on my guard and for that I was nearly killed by the Cobra. But I'm on my guard now and I'm ready for Rellion." Zidane stood there looking up at the sky with his hands clenched.
Saul stared at him and nodded his head in agreement.

" My highness," the maid called as I continued to look out the sliding door from my seat by my dresser. " Would you like your hair up or down?"
" Doesn't matter," I said not really paying a lot of attention. The maid grabbed the brush from my dresser and started to brush my hair out.
" You have beautiful hair your highness," she complemented looking at me but noticed I was staring out the sliding down saddened. She gave out a small frown before turning back to brushing my long brown wavy hair. " Is there someone your thinking about your highness?"
"...," I turned my head back towards the mirror in front of me to see the maid looking back at me through the mirror. I looked down at my lap still saddened. "...no...there's no one."
The maid stared at me for a while with sadness before turning back to my hair. " Rellion is really handsome and rich. A lot of girls in town wishes to be in your place, you know..."
" Then maybe they should marry a husband that abuses me with a choker that's stuck on my neck and sends electricity through my whole body if I don't do what he saids. Yah I'm really glad to be marrying him," I said being sarcastic.
" Is that really why you don't want to marry him? You didn't want to marry him from the point you came to the castle. Are you sure their isn't someone else?," she explained.
" Please...Please just STOP!," I yelled grabbing onto my head and jumping up out of my seat taking the maid by surprise. " HE'S COMING FOR ME I KNOW HE IS. HE PROMISED!," I yelled dropping down to my knees trying to tell myself that he's not going to leave me here. ' He's not leaving me I know he's not,' I thought.
' Why should he come back to get you? Your nothing important to him. He was just protecting you because Baku would kill him if you got hurt. He never did care about you, he was only doing his job,' a voice inside my head told me.
" That's not true," I said out loud. The maid stared at me worried as she tried to help me up. " I'm all right. I need a few minutes with myself. Don't worry I'll meet Rellion down at the ballroom," I said trying to force a smile on.
The maid nodded her head and turned to leave the room.
" Zidane...," I thought as my eyes started to water a little.
' Stop thinking about him. He's not thinking about you,' the voice said.
' He's coming for me. He's coming for me. He's coming for me. He's coming for me...,' I continued to repeat in my head trying to ignore the voices.
' He's probably flirting around with Celia. He probably forgot about you already,' the voice continued.
" He may be a big flirt but he won't ever abandon me like that," I said.
' Then where is he now?,' the voice in my head asked.
My eyes widened and I stared down at the ground as a tear slowly escaped the corner of my eye. " He's...he's not like that..."
' Just because you might feel something for him doesn't mean he feels the same about you. He was just playing around with you like the rest of the girls he's played with before,' the voice said.
I stood myself up. " I don't believe you...," I said wiping the tear away. " Now I'm going down to the ballroom."
I expected the voice to talk back to me but it didn't. So I patted out a couple of wrinkles in my white gown and fixed my hair a little bit before deciding to walk out the door.
*************************************************************
" Where the hell are they?!," Blank asked. " they were suppose to be down by the lifa tree."
" Stop ya whining and continue to fly the airship. Who knows maybe they walked back to where we were or even further," Baku ordered staring down at the Outer Continent grounds as they passed Madain Sari.
" Fine. But I doubt it," Blank replied getting irritated.
*************************************************************
Rellion and I walked down a red carpet side by side leading to our thrones. As we walked in between crowds of people in the ball room dressed in gowns as they clapped to introduce us. Rellion smiled and waved. I stared deadly forward still in thought of what I was doing. When we finally walked up the few steps leading to our thrones we turned around to face the crowd. The crowd then grew silent getting ready for Rellion's speech.
" I have brought you all here today to announce...," a guard then approached with a glimmering crown that sparkled with jewels on a pillow and kneeled in front of me holding the pillow out, " I will be getting married to this beauty next to me in less then a week. Please bow to your new queen."
My eyes widened as all these people got on there knees like a big wave. Rellion grabbed the crown off the pillow and gave me a little sign to tell me to bow. I leaned forward and he placed the crown on my head. I straightened up as Rellion continued his speech, " From this day forth you will treat her like royalty even though she won't become a real queen till were married. I shall banish anybody that does not come to her liking. With that you may all rise."
The crowd stood up and gave another round of applause. " Please feel free to do anything of your pleasing now," Rellion stated sitting on his throne. I stared at him still standing up not knowing what to do. " Please sit." he said pointing over at the throne next to him.
I sat down gently making sure I didn't do anything that made him mad. As soon as I brought my hands up to rest it on the arm rest Rellion laid his hand on mine sending a chill through my body.
" Is there something bothering you my queen?," Rellion asked.
" Nothing my lord," I answered.
Rellion then turned back forward to watch the rest of the people dance to the songs and talk among each other.
*************************************************************
Zidane and the group continued to walk through the desert still in search of a town to rest at. The sun was at the point from setting making the sky a light pink and blue.
" Zidane how long are we going to walk?," Eiko asked getting exhausted.
" Until we find a town probably," Saul said sarcastically.
" No we can't continue to walk at night. All the poisonous snakes come out. So you guys rest," Zidane ordered as Eiko plopped herself on the ground. " Saul and I will set up the tents."
" Finally. Now I can relax...huh?," Celia stared up at the sky questioningly. " Look! Their here."
Zidane shot his head up into the sky to see the Blue Narciss landing on the area next to them. A big smile grew on his face as he rushed over to the spot the airship was going to land on. Blank was up on the dock waving at them.
" Sorry I couldn't rescue you danzels in distress before," Blank shouted over from the top of the airship.
As soon as the walk deck opened up from the airships side Zidane ran up to the dock. " Blank?!"
" I don't know why I always help you out. But Baku's in the steering room and-"
" Baku's here?!," Zidane asked shocked but before Blank was able to answer he ran pass Blank and into the steers room to find Baku, Cinna, Marcus and Ruby.
" BWAHAHA! Long time no see Zidane," Baku said about to give Zidane another knuckle sandwich.
" We don't have time for that," Zidane said seriously moving away from Baku.
" What's the matter?," Marcus asked from the steer.
"...it's about Missy," Zidane said suddenly saddened staring sideways at the ground. Baku's smile soon disappeared.
"...it's about Rellion isn't it," Baku asked with a frown.
" Yeah he just came and took her like she belonged to him or something. And now he's forcing her to marry him," Zidane said shooting his head back up to Baku angry.
Baku stared at Zidane saddened. " Didn't she tell ya?"
Cinna, Ruby and Marcus looked down at the ground trying to avoid Zidane's stares.
" Tell me what?" Zidane asked.
Baku just scratched the back of his neck, hesitate.
" Tell me," Zidane repeated. " I need to know."
" Well, you see...when Missy was younger her father and the king were really close friends. As soon as the king found out that his best friend (Missy's father) was going to have a daughter he asked if she would become the future queen since her mother was a one of a kind summoner and her dad was a priest-"
" Summoner and Priest?!," Zidane asked shocked.
" Yeah...and it was really rare to have summoner and priest blood because both races were instinct so of course Missy's father accepted. One day they went to war with a demon named Cladius and Missy's dad and mom had to go since the dad was the leader of the knights and the moms powers to summon. So the mom gave Missy over to my sister...you know Aunt Rose to watch till they came back but..."
Zidane frowned knowing what happened to Missy's parents. " So your telling me Missy was destined to marry Rellion from...birth?"
Baku nodded his head slowly, sad. " Missy's dad and the king signed a contract to agree that Missy and Rellion were to be wed."
" But...she and I....you mean all this time...," Zidane said shaking his head. " So I can't do anything..."
Baku stared at Zidane saddened . But Baku's frown soon turned into a smile as an idea just popped into his head. " Hmp. And I thought you were a ladies man?" Baku said turning his back to Zidane.
Zidane brought his head up confused on why he was bringing up such a subject at a time like this. " What?"
" You heard me. Here I was thinking you would do anything for a hottie like just sneak into a castle and kidnap her. You didn't even let the bars of a cell hold you back but here you are letting a stupid piece of paper with a signature on it hold you back. I'm disappointed."
" WHAT?! NO WAY!," Zidane said furiously.
" So what are we waiting for let's go to Deltoran," Baku said pointing forward from the steer.
" Thanks," Zidane said nodding his head.
" Well I couldn't have you ruin your reputation on rescuing danzels in distress," Baku said slapping Zidane on the back having him joint forward a little but Zidane just laughed.
" So we making a plan or what?," Zidane asked.
" Now that's the spirit," Baku said cheerfully. " Call everybody in here."
An hour later...
" We've just landed in Deltoran, Boss," Blank came running into the steering room.
" All right remember no attacking Rellion tonight. Now spread out!," Baku ordered clapping his hand together when he said spread out.
Zidane ran out of the airship with Blank as the other pairs ran off. They parked the airship in the back of the castle behind a couple of trees. Zidane ran up to the side of the castle and peeked over the corner to see a pair of guards walking towards their direction. Zidane turned to look at Blank who was standing next to him and gave him a slight nod.
Blank ran out from the corner so that the guards could see him and started to wave his hands around. " Hey Rustalot's, over here," Blank called.
" This place is off-limits," one of the guards called running over towards Blank. Blank ran behind the corner.
" 3...2..," Zidane counted. "1!" Zidane punched one of the guards in the face when they finally reached the corner causing that one guard to fall backwards unconscious. " Man that felt good. To bad that wasn't Rellion."
The other guard quickly took out his sword kind of shaken.
" D-Don't Move," the soldier shuttered.
" Your kidding right?," Blank punched him in the face sending the soldier down to the ground.
" Come on," Zidane called running across the castle grounds to try and find a way to get into the castle unnoticed.
*************************************************************
earth-angel4: I can't wait to update the next chapter. The next chapter is so...well...
Zidane: Boring?
earth-angel4: Shut up! I wasn't talking to you. The next chapter really is depressing in a I'm-gonna-kick-Rellions-behind type of way. Anyw...I mean check back soon to read the next chapter. But I'll give you guys time to review before I update the next chapter which won't be to long.
Zidane: You sure?
earth-angel4: Of course I'm sure. I wouldn't lie to my readers.
