As Shylie lead Dakota into a world of unknown society, he began to be scared. Why had she done what she did? It confused him. Many fairies stopped and stared at the princess and the stranger she was holding hands with. He wasn't familiar.

"Shylie...I'm terrified, you know?" he whispered seeing all the Royals' eyes on him.

"It's going to be okay," she assured him and they made their way into the dining hall. Her parents were already there, with some consuls. They all looked up at her with surprise.

"Hullo, darling!" her mother greeted and stood to hug her daughter.

"Hullo mother," Shylie said returning the hug.

"Who is your friend?" Her father asked eyeing Dakota.

"You'll find out soon enough," Shylie smiled mischievously.

Tia was delighted as she kissed Diego again but then she heard an angry and shocked voice shout "TIA?" She whipped around to see Dallas's jaw hanging open and his fawn eyes were daggers at her. But he was arm in arm with Tamera Almengod.

There was an awkward silence between them.

"Dallas, uh..." Tia began to speak but Tamera had seen her chance of revenge. Diego was in love with this girl and now she was going to suffer for his mistake.

"Aw, poor Dallas," she crooned and held his arm tighter. He was shaking in anger. Diego saw that now she was coiling around the other guy, which meant she was going to strike at them and worse was that she knew Tia's secret.

"Tamera!" Diego roared threateningly and started towards her.

"Diego it is too late!" Tamera shouted.

"Diego?" Dallas turned confused because he had always heard the guy go by 'Heath'. He averted his attention to Tia, she stood like a guilty child. He didn't want to acknowledge that she liked the 'Heath' guy or whoever better than him. But this proved everything.

"If you come any closer I'll tell Dallas the truth about her," warned Tamera. Diego stopped.

"What?" Dallas and Tia turned around to look at Tamera.

"Don't, or I will...I will..." Diego said clenching his fists.

"You've dug your own grave sweetie," Tamera mocked.

"What truth? What about Tia?" Dallas persisted.

Tamera looked at Diego, he was practically pleading for her not to tell. She remembered how he had treated her, always running. Well, that wasn't the way Tamera Almengod let it happen.

"Tia Larque is an Underclass who has been posing as a Royal for all this time," she said.

Tia's mouth dropped open. Diego swore under his breath and marched towards her. Dallas was as tall as Diego and pushed him back.

Tamera held steadily onto Dallas for shield protection as he went up to Tia.

"Is it true?" he asked with all kinds of hurt forming in his once gentle and loving eyes.

Tia nodded. How could Diego have told Tamera her secret?

He couldn't believe it. A dirty, lying Underclass was all she was, how could he have been so deceived. Without a warning he struck Tia.

She fell back holding her face as tears formed. Dallas was way too furious to realize what he had just done. He had been screwed over many times in his life but not as badly as this.

Diego's fist crashed into his face when he looked up.

"Don't you ever hit her!" he shouted and socked him in the stomach.

"She's an Underclass, what would you care?" Dallas grunted.

"I care enough not to hit her, no matter who she is, unlike you elitist, ignorant Royals!" Diego snarled helping Tia up.

Suddenly Dallas's memory kicked into play, "You're that server guy who spilled wine on...Tamera!" he said looking at Tamera.

"Yeah, the same whore that freed me because she thought I was good in bed," Diego glared. Tamera felt like crying.

"Don't speak to her like that!" Dallas shouted and punched Diego.

"You little punk!" Diego shouted and threw a punch at Dallas. Before he could reach Dallas though, a bunch of Royal guards jumped on him. Some others had complained about the brawl and disturbance, plus it was said there were to Underclasses that weren't servants there and they wouldn't stand for that.

Guards also seized Tia, who was crying. She couldn't believe her life had just come crashing down. She was carried away and through her blurry tears Dallas was hugging Tamera.
