As they were far anought from Priest's room, Jenna stopped. "Sire, I really don't know how much the kind Lady Xerla care about you but I beg in name of these feelings to not trust everything what Master told to you. He loves her very much and only knowledge of her existance had changed him to a lot better man but I don't believe she could ever really love him. I know he will be broken if kind Lady leaves him but I have feeling that if she don't leave this place, she will be broken. If not visibly, then in heart." Young girl had paled as talked. She knew how much she is risking. "But, please, Sire, don't tell anyone what I said. This warning can cost me much." Then, with msuch faster pace she restarted to walk.

Quen blinked in suprise before walking to catch up to her. "Thanks... i think..." he said, a little confused.

Jenn ignored glare of door guard and walked out with Quen. As they walked a bit further she leaned a bit closer to him and whispered: "Around that corner, behind purple flowers are hidden doors. They lead to tower of Lady Xerla, ending near her chamber's doors. Remember that. I believe you will want to return one day," then girl turned around and rushed to garden.

Quen thanked her before she ran off, then blinked in suprise for a moment before moving to investigate the doors.

Quen looked to them and smiled. Then, experimentally, he walked to one of the doors and tried to open it.

Doors opened easily.
High above Quen's head, Xerla eat dinners. She had stepped over her sadness enough to not cry anymore and ate together with Heniro. Dinners passed very quietly. Priest just watched Xerla with quiet smile, making her feel embarrassed. She wasn't used to this all qeen like life.
After dinners Heniro leaded her to her room. "I am thankful to you, my dearest, for making company for me. I hope to have these chance to see you more often from now on." He said. He still held her hand and leaned a bit closer to her. Shiver runt down girl's spine but not from something nice feeling. "No, not yet. Just... I am not ready for this yet. Please, understand, I can try to be your friend but nothing more. Absolutely not yet." She shook head and stepped away. "As you wish. I will never force to do anything. If you want to be my firend, friend shall you be. Till the next time, Xerla," Priest didn't seem very upset as kissed her hand and left.
Xerla shivered one more time and nervously played with golden ribbon in her hair. She didn't know how he knew she loves the golden and green colors the most but almost every thing of hers was in these colors. Girl sighed and walked in her chanmbers, closing doors without a sound. <One more day... But this has brought me news. Only not news that I wished to hear.> She thought, standing at window and looking to forest, tears slowly filling her eyes. "Quen, where ever you are, whatever you are doing, I will always love you." Xerla whispered. <Yes, even if you will never love me back...> She added in thoughts after moment.

(Did Quen hear her through the secret passage???)
Quen, already halfway up the passage way, had heard her and smiled. "And I you, Xerla." Quen whispered before turning to head back down the passageway. <I will come back soon. So, please, wait for me.>

(Yup, he could hear that.  That was kinda planned like that) "I am going crazy.. I think I heard Quen..." Xerla muttered as qiped tears away. But even if it was vision, it made her feel better. No, only because it was vision it made her feel better. She could not stand him lieing to her about love if he was married or had a bride... |

(Yeah.)
Night passed calmly. Xerla had at least some sleep and she had chance to eat breakfast alone. Now, around midday, she sat in her room, reading book. It myth about dragon falling in love with human man... Pretty strange. Because that dragon could turn into human and he loved her back... And there was so many problems... It was almost stupid story, even more because she somehow almost always knew what is going to happen next but it intrigued her, she could not put it down. Henirohad gave it for her studies with that mysterious smile... Girl didn't have good feeling about this.

Quen hadn't slept well that night, and when he awoke, he found himself lying in the forest near a hidden door. It took him a moment to wake up fully and remember what had happened. Then he looked to the door again and smiled. "Xerla..."

Xerla raised head from book. "And again I have feeling that he is here... That book probably makes me feel so strange, probably..." She closed books and sighed.

Quen shook his head and a fierce sort of determination clouded his eyes. He walked gently up to the doors, opened them quietly, and slowly crept up the steps.
(Maybe for the next week or so, he will leave notes? Then she won't get mad at him seeing her again.)

(Uh, that sounds like a good idea!)
Xerla stood up and put book on desk. She looked in mirror and sighed. <No use to try and be beautiful. That only man what I wish to think I am beautiful will never see me again... Because I pushed him away.. I could try... No, I could never stand thought that he cheats me or that other girl.> She shook head, feeling tears coming back again.

If she would turn around she would find a note lying on her table. It read: Dearest Xerla,
I will love you until the last moment of my life. |

Xerla stood looking in mirror for moment and then turned around. Note catched her eyein the next moment. She picked up and read unbelieving. "Who wrote this note?" Girl muttered. "My heart says it was Quen but my mind says that Herith..." she whsipered almost to quiet to hear. <I will belive my heart.> She thought as hid note carefully.
