Chapter 3: His Treasure
When I requested a walk in the gardens with him, Dastan agreed wholeheartedly. I decided it was time to put at least one of my many suspicions to rest. I enjoyed watching him look around in awe at all the beautiful plants, even smelling a few on the way.
"Well Princess I would be a fool if I thought you requested my presence here for nothing, is something bothering you?" he asked turning to me. I was a bit surprised he had figured me out so quickly yet I was still trying my best unravel the puzzle that was him.
Sighing I began thinking through what I wanted to say "Dastan when you first came here to Alamut and found out your mistake you could see all of our treasures, and yet you gave back one of the most precious of all. You could have had anything you wanted from us for the Dagger but instead like an honorable man you gave it back and requested nothing from us not squandering anything at the chance."
He gave me an incredulous look as if he was appalled that I would think him capable of such a dishonorable deed. He looked a bit hurt and I instantly regretted even bringing it up. He looked at my guilty face and smiled slightly. "Its fine Tamina and your half right, I did see the treasures your beautiful homeland contains, after all as you put it 'the wells of Alamut are famed for their cool, clean, water" he finished smirking
Again she got that feeling, as if she had uttered those same words before in a different lifetime but she brushed it away as soon as it had come because he had started speaking again. " But Tamina when I first entered your beloved home for the first time I realized that the only true treasure here…..was you, and you are something I could never ever squander."
