Aylin and Azimir stayed in the jungle until the wee hours of dawn, not leaving each other's embrace even for a moment. Whenever Aylin tried to move away from him, Azimir would hug her tight, not allowing her to leave him and eventually, Aylin gave up fighting him. Anyway, she would be meeting him after a long time. She might as well make use of this opportunity and hold him close to her heart's content.

It was only when they felt the first rays of the sun fall on them that they reluctantly let go of each other. The night had passed quicker than they had thought and now, when it was time for Azimir to leave, how they wished for the time to go back so that they could spend more time with each other.

Azimir kept staring at Aylin as he held her hand while they walked back. Fortunately for him, there was no one on the streets and he did not hesitate to hold her palm, relishing in the feel of her soft hand in his.

"I do not want to leave you, Aylin." He whispered close to her ear and put on a sad face like a lovestruck fool and Aylin's face blushed instantly when his hot breath fell on her ear and neck. Aylin shivered at once and tried to move away from him, jumping in the meanwhile.

However, Azimir was quicker than her and wrapped his hand around her waist, pulling her back to him.

"I am reluctant to even leave you and look at you." Azimir clicked his tongue and shook his head in disappointment. He looked utterly crestfallen and his face fell as he lowered his head in sadness.

Aylin stared at him expressionlessly, rebuking him silently for his brilliantly. If she did not know him well, she was sure she would have fallen for his trick. 'This man was wicked and highly cunning. I should be careful of him.' She thought.

"See, you are even glaring at me now. Oh, my poor life!" He blabbered as they took the path towards Aylin's manor. "How am I going to survive in the future once I marry you? Will I not be bullied to death by you?"

Azimir continued, his eyes gleaming in mischief and Aylin who was getting annoyed by his complaints gave him a flabbergasted look before she glared at him

"If you are so unwilling to marry me, then you can give up on the thought. I will marry someone else, someone who will love me and pamper me. Go." Aylin pushed him away and started marching towards her manor, leaving a surprised Azimir behind.

He gaped at her for a few moments, stunned by her playfulness before a booming smile made its way on his face. At least, she is now out of her depressed state, he thought and ran to her. Ignoring all of Aylin's attempts to fiddle and stay away from him, he held her hand tight.

"Do not worry, dear. You will marry me for sure. Nobody will be able to love you and cherish you as much I do and you know it too." Azimir teased and Aylin just scowled at him.

"Oh, what if there is someone who loves me more than you do?" Aylin challenged him and the moment she did so, she regretted her words. His smile fell and she recalled the man who had haunted her dreams. Though she did not know what the man wanted of her, his obsession for her was quite evident and she was not a fool to stay oblivious to it.

"Wait a moment. Did you just say you are willing to marry me?" Azimir noticed the change in her expressions. But he did not falter and changed the topic right away, shattering the awkwardness between them.

Aylin too snapped out of her dreadful thoughts and gave him a perplexed look when the realization hit her. She shook her head in denial immediately. "No, I did not. You must be delusional."

"I am not being delusional. I heard you clearly. You are willing and ready to marry me. This is such great joy." Azimir hugged her shoulder, not allowing her to argue with him anymore, leaving her speechless and helpless.

Aylin did not refute him and cursed herself for speaking without thinking.

"I am now looking forward to the contest. The day I win the contest...." Azimir stopped suddenly and Aylin raised a brow at him, silently nudging him to continue.

When she did not get any response from him, she huffed softly. "What are you going to do once you win the contest?" She brought up the topic herself unable to tolerate his silence anymore.

"That my, dear." Azimir stopped walking and Aylin turned towards him taken aback by his actions. Yet, she wanted in anticipation. "Is a surprise for you. So, wait for the day patiently."

Azimir then started walking back and this time, it was Aylin's turn to stay speechless and fall behind.

"Azimir," She gritted her teeth, her voice low and annoyed and Azimir chuckled when he heard her. Instead of pacifying her, he just turned around and beckoned her to him.

"Hurry up, Aylin. We need to reach home before we get caught."

Aylin stomped her foot and strode towards him. However, instead of allowing him to take her hand, she dodged him and kept walking, not allowing him any chance to get close to her. Every time Azimir attempted to get closer to her, she would evade him, rendering all his attempts futile. Azimir could only sigh and allow her to have her way this time, indulging her completely and forgetting about everything else in his presence.

"Aylin," He held her hand as they stood outside the door. Even though they had taken the long route to spend more time with each other, they had reached her manor quicker than they had thought and now they were reluctant to let go of each other. The sun was already rising on the horizon and the birds were chirping merrily as a gentle breeze blew past them, rejuvenating their bodies.

"I do not want to go." Azimir expressed how much he was unwilling to go and even Aylin felt the same. But she understood that his duties towards his kingdom and people came first and then everything else. Even if she wanted to stop him, she could not and she sighed lightly.

"I will be waiting for you." She held his hands and pressed on them, assuring her softly.

"I will return to you soon. Wait for me Aylin." Azimir promised and Aylin nodded at him fervently.

"I will, Azimir. I will."

"I have already spoken to Sir Gregory and Sir Erik. They will protect you in my absence." Azimir's face hardened when he remembered the masked man who was a severe threat to them. Even though the man was not a threat to Aylin, he still did not like him approaching her without her knowing and tormenting her this way. Every time, he thought about he had entered her room when she was asleep, made his blood boil and he wanted nothing but to rip the man's head for even thinking about Aylin.

"Azimir," Aylin sighed again. "He will not hurt me. Please do not worry. I can handle him myself." Aylin tried to assure him even if she herself was not assured.

"I cannot stop worrying about you, Aylin. That man is despicable and he is not normal. I do not know how powerful and capable he is and even if he will not hurt you physically, I am unwilling to take any risks." Azimir stated his concerns and kissed her hands, expressing how much he wished to protect her himself. It was killing him from within to leave her all alone and deal with the monster herself, with no one but her to protect herself.

Albeit being worried and terrified herself, Aylin put on a brave front to ensure him. "Please do not worry, Azimir. I will not allow the man to hurt me. Rest assured and return to your kingdom. You now have a big battle to fight and I will be waiting for you to win it."

"Are you waiting for me to win the battle or for what follows after I win it?" Azimir winked at her as he leaned closer to her, mischief dancing in his eyes.

"What do you mean?" Though Aylin understood right away, she feigned ignorance, not allowing Azimir to have the upper hand.

"What do you think?" Azimir shot back, not allowing her to have her way with him this time and seeing Aylin getting flustered by his playfulness, Azimir grinned at her in joy.

"I do not think anything." Aylin looked away from him and Azimir chuckled out loud at her adorable behavior.

"Are you sure? Why do I feel that you have something in mind and you are unwilling to reveal it to me lest you should get embarrassed?" Azimir teased and Aylin threw a nasty glare at one, one that did not affect Azimir whatsoever.

"As I said before you are being delusional. I never told you that I was willing to marry you once you win the contest." Aylin bit her tongue the moment she blurted her thoughts and her face flushed red.

"When did I say anything about marrying you? I was speaking about the surprise I have prepared for you. Aylin," Azimir leaned forward until his lips brushed her ears. "I never knew you are this naughty."

"Who is naughty? I am not naughty." Aylin pushed away in frustration and Azimir too pulled back, satisfied by her reaction. He did not tease her anymore when he heard the sounds of horses' hooves from nearby and he moved away from her, keeping a small distance in between them.

A sigh escaped his lips and he ran his hand through his hair. "It is time for me to leave, Aylin." He mumbled and Aylin's face lost its smile. She stared at him reluctantly. Yet, she did not stop him.

"Take care, Azimir. Have a safe journey."

"Take care, Aylin. I will return soon. Wait for me." He smiled at her faintly and Aylin nodded at him right away.

"Goodbye, Aylin." He lifted her hand and kissed it again before he let her go.

With heavy footsteps, Azimir dragged his body away from her and climbed down the stairs before he turned to her. Aylin waved at him and smiled at him and Azimir started walking again with a heavy heart.. He glanced at her again when he was at the manor gate and finally, after dawdling for a long time, he left the manor, leaving Aylin staring at his back until she could not see him anymore.
