    After the dinner, Natasha Alimojet walked up to the corridor, Prince Denning was not around, so she felt she didn't have so much of movement restrictions. Though she felt quite unhappy about what was happening in her world, she didn't think she was doing too well in her abandoned state either. It was sad nobody else could see the pain she passed through. A certain burden of loneliness and bitterness swept through her body. "Hello princess!" Desmond Darcott's voice suddenly startled her. " My bad? I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to startle you" he immediately added in a quite concerned tone. She finally turned around now to face him, a fake smile appearing on her face, "it's fine, am actually fine".
    "But, I think you should have left  the palace for your house?" She asked innocently. "No, I'm still very much around, I had already met with my family before coming down here, I would just like to stay in the palace till when I would like to leave, that would be soon by the way".
   "This had always been my second home..." He smiled, "my family never had a problem with that". He suddenly stopped and appeared to be wondering on something, "or do you have any problem with my staying here? I could plan my next move" . She simply cut him off "of course not, why would you even think of such at all, I barely even know you, and from comments, you are my husband's best friend so I can't be rude towards that relationship", she stopped. He only searched her face and nodded. 
   "By the way I saw you while you walked up here...", he said, so I thought it would be an opportunity to ask about Prince Denning's where about, Ive been thinking you would know about it. The king and the queen had told me he disappeared from the palace for some days now. They seem worried.
   "If only they had informed me  of their worries about his disappearance, I would have told them that he disappeared because of me" she cut him off in a loud roar. He raised his brows in surprise which only made Natasha realize the intensity of energy that came out from her voice. She now had to calm herself, she didn't intend to let my emotions out this way. "Is everything alright between you two, Princess Natasha?" his countenance full of concern and suspicion. "Prince Denning and I..." She could not continue to say it. "We are not in good terms basically. It was an arranged marriage. I...I actually thought he would change his mind and that I could win him over, but it's not working out. I feel so abandoned right now, its like I shouldn't even have agreed into all this in the first instance. I guess he has found his heart in someone else and he is sticking to that". Desmond Darcott only stared at Natasha Alimojet, he felt he should actually be consoling her but realised he could be in a better position to take over from Prince Denning. But he understood immediately the kind of person Prince Denning was and imagined himself doing the same if he were to be in the same position. "Close friendship with family didn't mean inheritance to marriage" he thought.
   But he however wondered because the only cause an arranged marriage could have been initiated is because Prince Denning could not produce any espoused partner when requested, and being a royal heir to Banzir, he only had limited time bound to be settled as a prince. And solving issues after that time bound could only result in prospective difficulties.
