A few days afterwards, Iago came flew into the haremlik again.

"I've got it!"he said.

"Got what?"Fahriha asked him.

"What else, but the way for you to see your charming prince again."

"Oh, I thought..."

"Never mind what you thought."he said, shrugging away what she was about to say. "I've heard a few things here, a few things there, and obviously, the Kid isn't too fond of you being around him much. So, he's doing everything he can think of to come up with excuses as to why you can't leave the haremlik. But I know just how to get around that!"

"You do?"

"Of course! You just sneak out at night."

"At night?"

"Sure. Your mom did, just a few days before her birthday, cuase she didn't like any of the suitors, and that's how she met your dad. I'm sure she'd be proud of you if you did. Just why you had to turn out so timid, I don't know. Then again, the little time I knew your grandmother, she was a bit like you. Maybe that's why."Iago shrugged. "But you're better than the boys."

"But if I get caught?"

"I'll help you."

"The guards are everywhere here."

"Then you go through a place where there's no guards."

"I don't know my way around the selamlik."

"But I do."

"And if we get caught?"

"You just leave that to me."

Fahriha didn't look so sure.

"And if you don't think it's worth it, you just tell me, and we can forget it."

"Um, no! No. I would like to see Prince Khalil again."she said.

"Then you just tell me when. I say as soon as possible."

"What if we're caught?"

"We won't be. You just leave that to me."

"And if we get lost?"

"Don't worry about that, either."

"Fine. How will we get out of here."

"Climbing the wall. See, that one."

Iago pointed.

"That's high."

"You just dress to climb. Right after the guards switch shifts."

Fahriha nodded.

"Don't chew on your nails."said Iago. "I don't think that'll impress the prince very much."

Fahriha who was just about to do that, quickly folded her hands in her lap. Iago rolled his eyes.

"I don't think that he'll like it very much if you're scared stiff. The Princess never was."

"But...I do feel a little scared."

"Of?"

"Getting caught. What will happen if we do get caught!"

She didn't even want to imagine it.

"You keep worrying unnecessarily."he told her. "Well, I'll see you tonight."he said as he flew away.

"Good bye."she said. "You really won't tell anyone, though, will you, Iago?"

"Since when am I a tattletale?"

Fahriha smiled.

"You always told on my brothers."

"I'll make an exception for you."he told her. "Just as long as you do this."

"Okay."she said. "I will."

"Good. Then I'll be waiting here. And I know a passage almost nobody uses. Well, just your dad, your brothers, you get the idea, but they'll be asleep. So we won't go by the servant's or the eunuch's way. There'll be more chances of getting caught there. And you're part of the royal family, so, you're allowed to use the other corridor."

Fahriha nodded.

"But will there be someone gaurding?"

"No. And if there is, we'll just use a window or something."

"All right."
