" Yes..." He causally replied.
" At this hour of night." I asked.
" I am going, you want to come, yes or no?" He asked, standing up from the ground.
" Okay Okay.." I said. " But what if we get caught?"
" Let's go." He said.
"Oh god!! Wait wait.... I need to remove the noisy jewelry." I said.
" Experienced I see..." He remarked. I tried to suppress my smile.
I quickly removed my anklet and bangles, leaving just a couple behind. I walked a few steps to see anything else makes sound. Due to night, I was already not wearing a major portion of my jewels.

Oh! The guards.
He was too much into the escaping mission that he hadn't noticed the closeness yet.
" All clear." He said. And pulling me further into the corridor. Soon we were out of the palace, in the darkness of night.
" I never knew if there was a passageway like that." I said, still looking from where we existed the palace without being noticed.
" There are a not of things you don't know princess." He said.
There was something deep in his eyes. Something I wanted to dive in.
