Fahriha removed the veils once she was back inside.

"When can I see Prince Khalil again?"she asked one of the maids.

"I have no idea, Princess."she answered.

"Oh."

Genie was angry that he had lost another match to Carpet.

"Genie!"

"Just a minute, Al. Just working out some new strategies."

Aladdin grabbed the paper in front of Genie and ripped it apart.

"Ah!"

"Why didn't you keep an eye on that prince like I asked you to? Especially this afternoon."

"Uh, well, I happened to have promised the afternoon to a tennis match, that apparently..."

"You should've canceled that match, and done what was more important!"

"I'd forgotten about it."

"From now on, you're supposed to be free all the time, just in case something like this comes up again!"

Genie nodded, and wrote that in his agenda.

"Right, got it!"

"Good! Now, you should start by keeping an eye on him. You follow him like his shadow. Just don't let him be aware of it!"

"Got it!"

Genie turned into a shadow on the ground, and ran to find Khalil.

The next day, he told Aladdin.

"Seems to be a very good rider. Enjoys to race with the princes, loves to stay outdoor, don't know how much he knows about law, and politics and stuff, and...apart from that, that seems to be all I've gathered so far. Oh, yeah, does ask a lot of questions."said Genie, reading from his notebook.

"About what?"

"Hmm, quite a few things. Seems to be very keen to expand his knowledge."

Aladdin frowned.

"On..."

"Just about everything he sees, really. Let's see, in total they were 246 questions he asked, so..."he got out a calculator and turned to Hari Seldon. "Now, according to the laws of psycohistory, it seems..."

"Just tell me already!"

"Okay, he seems to very interested in the princess, apparently more by the fact that she's so...should we say, naïve in some ways."

"In what ways would Fahriha be naïve?"

"Apparently, in any ways that's not related to life outside the haremlik. Apparently she told him she's only been out a few times in her life, and the boys confirmed it. That did seem to get his interest up from what I could see."

Iago kept Fahriha informed about what went on outside the haremlik.

"...and it seems like they like him just fine."

"If they like him, do you suppose that Mom and Dad do, too."

"Ah, I don't think the Kid likes him whatever he does."

"Why not?"

Iago shrugged.

"I don't think he and the Genie like any of the guys who might come to see you."

"But why?"

"Ah, the Kid probably thinks they're just not good enough for you or something. He has a high opinion of you, you know. I think. But anyway, if I was you, I'd gather up my courage, and get out while he's still around and before he gets tired of waiting and packs his bags."

"How would I do that?"

"Now, look, you know I'm not a big fan of going around doing good deed if I can help it, but, why not? You just leave it to me. I'll clear the way, you just have to be ready."

"What are you going to do, Iago?"she asked.

"Well, you used to defend me from those monster brothers of yours, even though I was never a big fan of playing with dolls or anything like that. So, just to show I don't forget, why don't I help you plan it. It's been a while, since there's been something exciting going on! That's why I say the Kid shouldn't have gotten married so soon."
