It was night & the party began in the castle Leah looked at herself in the mirror before getting downstairs where the party was healed she looked around to see Aryan & Sonehri talking some how they looked happy and she was happy for them she scanned the place looking for Tyler when She spotted him, she smiled and walked towards him but suddenly Nicholas blocked her way she looked at him and he looked at her eyes without saying a word "move away, you're making a scene" she whispered looking around "am I" He asked with a smirk when Tyler came towards them "princess" He said to Leah glaring at Nicholas when Leah took Tyler's hand & walked away with him
Aryan was standing talking to Sonehri "you know if they saw us like this they won't think we are faking it" She said but her words hurt him a bit, he wasn't faking he start to really feel something towards her but his dignity stopping him from admitting it specially when he knows that she doesn't love him "I think we are too good at it" he said forcing a smile "I think" She said "so, you told your father about the gypsies?" She asked "No, why would i? it happened to me so many times, I have exposed to assassination attempts more than I can count" He said sarcastic "how can you laugh about that?" Sonehri exclaimed "because it's my life & I can't change it so I'm living it" He said & pulled her to the dance floor, she was surprised by his actions but she never felt like that before he make her feel different
Damon entered watching his sister dancing with Aryan; he felt worried the only thing that could make his plan of dominating over the kingdom if Sonehri fell in love with Aryan that will make his entire plan fall apart, he went towards them "can I have this dance?" He said to his sister who looked at him then at Aryan "of course if the prince didn't mind" Damon said looking at Aryan "of course" Aryan said letting go of Sonehri & Damon start to dance with her "we need to talk" Sonehri said angry & Damon exactly knows what Sonehri want to talk about "we can't talk here" he said when she nodded then looked at Aryan who wasn't paying attention to her as he stood talking to his sister Leah "come on" She said then left with Damon
Nicholas stood looking at Leah who was talking to Tyler but every now and then she looked at Nicholas whose eyes was focused on her all the time, She felt uncomfortable and she was scared that anyone could notice, she didn't know why she felt that way…why she feels guilty about it? There is nothing going on between them
Sonehri entered her room with Damon & closed the door between them "you send gypsies after Aryan to kill him and I was there" She said whispering angry "Sonehri, I'm sorry but I gave direct orders to them not to hurt you" he explained "I can't believe you" She said angry "it was a reckless move & I'm sorry for it" he said when she sighed "Damon, I'm under so much pressure, I'm acting, pretending, lying and it kills me…" before she can continue he stopped her "you're doing this for us, for our family" he said when she sighed "I know" She said when Damon looked at her "this marriage is fake Aryan is not your real husband" he said when Sonehri nodded but inside she was sad & having a bad feeling about all of this.
Sonehri get back to the party only to find herself face to face with Christian "princess" he said & kissed her hand "Christian, can you stop being…you" She said with a smile
"I can try for you but I promise nothing" he said when she rolled her eyes suddenly she felt a hand wrapped around her waist, it was Aryan who pulled her closer "Christian, I didn't know you are here" Aryan said forcing a smile as he hate Christian specially the way he always talk to Sonehri "your highness, If there is a party it means I will be around" Christian stated & Sonehri looked at him & Aryan there was obvious tension between them.
