" The last thing I ever expected of you was to start with her again"

Jon and Thayet:

Both Jon and Thayet were lounging in their room. When suddenly, a page knocked at the door, calling Jon to the meeting room urgently. Jon searched himself and tossed a nickel to the page before rushing off.

Thayet sat in the room herself and pondered over how they were going to spend their honeymoon. She thought of traveling to some place like to Snowsdale, where Daine was born. Or maybe they could go traveling around Tortall, meeting the people! Or a hunting trip around the Royal Forest? Banquets? Dances? So many options, she would wait for Jon to return before presenting the ideas to him.

Around 2 hours later, Jon quietly entered the room again and sat himself down opposite Thayet. His queen was sleeping, taking short breaths. He laid his hand on hers, giving it the gentlest squeeze possible to wake her up. Thayet slowly opened her eyes and saw Jon looking at her, fear in his eyes.

Scared, Thayet questioned: What is wrong, my dear?

Jon replied: Thayet... There have been revolts all around Tortall. I am afraid I must leave with Alanna, Raoul, George, Daine and Numair to try stop them.

Thayet: But, I must come along too.

Jon: No, it will be too dangerous. Just stay with the Riders and the Own at the palace, if anything happens in Corus, they'll protect you.

Thayet: But-

Jon: No more but's. This is final.

Thayet: Yes, my dear. How long will you be gone then?

Jon: I think it would be around 3 months. Perhaps more or maybe 2.

Thayet: NO! You cannot go! Our honeymoon!

Jon: I am sorry, my queen. I cannot do anything about it either.

Thayet: Please, Jon. Let them take care of it. They are qualified to do the job.

Jon: But this matter requires me there. We just have to celebrate our anniversary after I return.

Thayet: (dejectedly) Yes, my king.

And they sat in a painful silence before Jon sat off to pack and get ready.

Two days after, Jon left the castle with Alanna, Raoul, George, Daine, ad Numair. Thayet's tears flowed. Jon would not be back in time for their anniversary, and it did not disturb him much. WHY? Was the infatuation over? Was the reality showing?

She headed to her chamber, crying herself to sleep. She did this routine for the next few days to come. She never ventured out of the room, such that Buri had to bring the food into her room for her. She never ate more than a bite. And lost so much weight that she was unrecognizable.

Two weeks after Jon had left, a page delivered a letter to her room. Saying it was for Jon. Thayet took it and gave the page a tip. Before she left the letter on the dressing table. She'd dismissed the letter as nothing more than a report from some town.

Her eyes were constantly red and her face was pale. She was stricken with fear that she and Jon would have a failed marriage. She still loved him, but did he still love her?

Falling into a pit of denial, she decided to read the letter. After all, what was Jon's business was hers too. She fingered the letter, before tearing it open.

It read:

Dear Jonathan,

It has been so long since we've met. I think it has been two weeks perhaps? Did you admire the way I got the messenger to save you from that boring meeting? We should have spent more time together before you left. But of course, the revolts were necessary. How could we have you having to spend too much time with that dull wife of yours? I hope you will return soon, darling. The revolts will last for two months. I hoped you gave some allowance of time like a month. We can be together then.

Waiting for your return

Delia

Upon seeing whose name was written at the bottom, she threw the letter on the floor and fled the room. She just ran away. As fast as she could. She didn't care where she went, just to get away from the frightful letter. Not looking where she was heading, she crashed into Buri. Mouthing words of pardon, she took off again. Buri, frightened by the state that Thayet had been in, chased after her. After a while, Thayet just sat down by the wall and cried her eyes out. Buri approached her slowly and asked her the matter. Thayet sobbed as she spilled what had happened. Buri soon came to realize that this was a love problem, a third party had encroached on the two lovers. Taking Jon away from Thayet. Buri cheered Thayet up and told her that if it was Jon's decision, honor it. With a man that lied to his wife and kept things from her, he wasn't worth her tears or emotions anyway.

Hearing this, Thayet pulled herself together and decided that she could still live life properly.

After two months, Alanna, Raoul, George, Daine and Numair had returned. With no trace of Jon. They said he'd gone to visit a friend and had sneaked off when they weren't looking. They'd spent a week searching for him but to no avail.

After three weeks, Jon returned, looking refreshed and as though he'd never left the palace. He instantly rushed up into the room and gave Thayet a passionate kiss. Thayet, seeing him, pushed him away. Jon looked confused. Thayet said: You know what you did. Do you have enough integrity to fess up to it? Jon kept staring blankly around, as though questioning the room what he'd done.

Thayet's eyes narrowed: Liar. You know what you've done.

She double slapped him and threw Delia's letter to him.

Before slamming the door closed, she shouted: The last thing I ever expected you to do was to start with her again."

(A/N: okies! That's the end of it. I betcha that all you guys that love this couple are hating me by now. Muahaha. )
