Jou and Seth both ran over to where Alexander now lay. Elizabeth had brought Alexander and placed him in his bed. She looked over at Jou.

'Can you look out for him? I'm going to go and get a doctor.' Jou nodded and she ran out. Seth stood behind Jou and put his arms around him, how leaned back and rested his head on Seth's shoulder. After a few minutes, Elizabeth and a guard ran in. The guard picked up Alexander and took him to the medical room. Elizabeth, Jou and Seth followed suit but they had to wait outside the medical room, so the doctors could check what was wrong with the Prince. Elizabeth paced back and forth, never picking up speed nor ever changing her pace. After what felt like an eternity the doctor finally came out of the room. The three teenagers walked up to the doctor. What he told them is that Alexander had a very high fever and that he needed bed rest for about a week, he also had a cut on his leg that almost got infected.

It was the middle of the day and Alexander was still in the medical room. Right now Elizabeth was with him, just holding his hand and staring at him with love and worry in her eyes. She kept thinking that something bad was going to happen, but of course she always thinks like that sometimes. Because of all the bullying and stuff at her house that has happened to her for the past sixteen years it would be understandable for someone to think like that sometimes. She kept looking at him, never moving her glance from him, in case he woke up and she wasn't looking at him or in case something bad happened and she wouldn't have known. Elizabeth shook her head. Stop thinking that Elizabeth! Nothing is going to happen in Alexander. He's in good hands…he's in good hands…he's in…oh what am I saying! Why do I have to keep reminding myself that he is going to be all right? Off course he's going to be all right!

'Elizabeth?' Elizabeth looked down to see Alexander staring right into her eyes. 'Are you alright?' She smiled, how could she not. Her boyfriend had just woken up and he was already wondering if she was all right.

'I'm fine Alexander. I was just thinking about different things,' She kissed Alexander's hand and he smiled. 'How are you feeling now?'

'I'm feeling a lot better then this morning. I guess just being in the desert for a long time and riding all night wasn't the best idea,' Elizabeth blinked.

'We rode all night just to get back home?'

'Yeah. I wanted to get home as fast as we could, and plus there wasn't any other caves or oasis that we could have stayed at.'

'Oh.' Elizabeth looked away. 'I really wish that you didn't make yourself ride into the night to get back home. When you fainted in my arms this morning I was really worried. I thought that you were really sick.' The tears started to well up in Elizabeth's eyes. She couldn't help it. Alexander wiped away the tear that started to fall down Elizabeth's face. She looked at him and he pulled her close to his body. Elizabeth laid her head on Alexander's chest, his heart beat and his sent was really calming her down. He started to run his finger through her hair, when an idea struck him.

'Hey Elizabeth, I just thought of something. Now that we are going out, you no longer have to be a slave. You are free to do what ever you will like to do. I'll have to ask Virgina for some of her clothes but…'

'Alexander. I don't think it would be a great idea for me to all of a sudden not be a slave anymore. If people found out about us…well I don't really want to think about it.' Alexander sighed.

'Don't worry. We'll think of something and we will work this out I promise.' Elizabeth let out a sigh. She, too, hoped that this would work out but there was always that little thing nagging inside her head. She didn't want to be caught out by anyone that was against Alexander, or the entire royal family. She cuddled up closer to Alexander, wanting to be closer to the one that she loved. He held her closer to him, sensing that she was troubled in one way or another. If she were to move on into the next life, she had to be feeling safe in this life.

It was now after dark and the same clouds that had been there when Elizabeth had first arrived had returned. She was standing on Alexander's balcony, just looking out at the sky. She had heard a rummer that whenever there was a storm the royal family got another servant, and right now they were getting more servants for Alexander.

Alexander walked back into his room. He had just gotten back from a meeting with Virgina, well it wasn't so much a meeting it was more like a needed to get answers meeting. He looked over at Elizabeth and walked up to her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and held her close to his body. 'I just finished talking with Virgina.'

Elizabeth looked up at him. 'Yeah? What'd she say?'

'She knew about us straight away and that she was happy for us. She also said that for formal gatherings you could borrow some of her clothes. She'll also help with your make-up tomorrow,'

'Tomorrow? What's tomorrow?' Elizabeth asked, confusing going into her eyes.

'Once a prince or princess has found someone that they want to be with for the rest of their lives they have to present them to the whole community,' Elizabeth bit her bottom lip. 'Don't worry. You'll be fine. They wont even ask you any questions. If they do I'll answer them for you,'

'What if it something really personal? What if they ask us to kiss in front of everyone? What if…' Alexander placed a finger on her lips.

'Relax will you. Everything will be fine. You don't have to answer any questions what so ever if you don't want to, okay.' He held her closer to him. 'I promise you that Elizabeth.' They stayed silent for a while, each of them just looking out into the village. Alexander looked away from the village. 'I'm sorry Elizabeth.' She blinked and looked up.

'About what Koi?'

'About what I had said when I was talking to Virgina the other day. I didn't want you to hear that. And when you did I didn't know what to say. I wanted to tell you of my feelings, I really did, but I saw the hurt in your eyes and I couldn't say it,'

'Alexander please…'

'When I woke up the next morning and you weren't here I was afraid that I wouldn't ever get to see you again. I was afraid that I had hurt you too much and that you didn't want anything to do with me anymore,' Elizabeth stayed silent. She ran her fingers down Alexander's arms to try and comfort him. 'When I went out looking for you I was hoping that you wouldn't be angry with me. When I arrived at the village that you had gone to and saw you being bashed up, I wanted to die. I couldn't believe that I had brought that one,' Tears were starting to form in the corner of Alexander's eyes. He held Elizabeth really close to him, scared that she would disappear any moment. 'What that man said about me is right. I am a tyrant…'

'Alexander stop,' Elizabeth turned around in his arms and placed her hands on his face. He looked at her with tears about ready to fall down his face. 'What that man said about you isn't true. You are not, and will never, be a tyrant. My father is a tyrant! Compared to him, you are one of the sweetest boy's I have ever met. I feel so privileged to have your love, that sometimes I feel like I don't deserve it…'

'But you do deserve it Elizabeth. You deserve everything I can give you. If you want the world then I will give you the world,' Elizabeth smiled.

'Alexander, I don't want the world. The only thing in this world I want is you. I want to see you smile, to hear you laugh, just to see you have fun. If I have to do nearly everything to make you happy I will,' Alexander sighed. He then smiled down at Elizabeth.

'All right. I will try for you Elizabeth, but I know that I will not be able to stop seeing you lying there in that down badly beating up.'

'That's all I ask.' They then shared a kiss.
