After a few days Damon was still in the hunting trip when he found a masked man following him, he came closer when Damon attacked him but the man blocked Damon and revealed himself to him, it was Tyler "Tyler!" Damon exclaimed surprised "we need to talk, Prince Damon" Tyler stated as Damon was still surprised
Damon walked with Tyler to where no one can see them "Now, we can talk" Damon said "I can give you Aryan" Tyler offered but Damon makes sure to keep his face with no emotions on it "why would you think that I want to harm the king, we are in truce and he is my brother in law" Damon wondered when Tyler smiled "come on, Prince I wasn't born yesterday, I know how much you despise Aryan and you want to take his place" Tyler explained "what's in it to you?" Damon asked "I just want to see his fall down" Tyler said with anger when Damon smiled "such envy, but why should I trust you?" Damon asked when Tyler smiled "we both want the same thing, Prince Damon, you will have the thorn and I will have Leah" Tyler stated "the princess!! Isn't she your fiancée?" Damon exclaimed "not for long thanks to your brother, so do we have a deal?" Tyler asked when Damon extend his hand to him, Tyler will be his secret weapon against anything that can go wrong, he knew that he can't fully trust Sonehri nor Nicholas
After a few days of there was a vicious attack on Damon's men by some soldiers on Aryan's army which drove Damon crazy, he went to Aryan's castle angry "where is Aryan?" Damon yelled at Sonehri as she came towards him "what happened?" She asked worried when Aryan came "I don't think that is a way to enter a king's castle, prince" Aryan said when Damon came closer anger all over his face "I lost my men today to your soldiers, if you want to declare war fine, but at least be man about it, announce the truce is over and I can tear this castle a part" Damon threatened when Aryan looked angry "I would like to see you try" Aryan commented when Damon left angry, Sonehri followed Aryan who was talking to Alexander "we need to find out who did this, sabotaging the truce, we have to know, it's your responsibility" Aryan ordered Alexander who bow in respect when Aryan turned to see Sonehri standing concern was all over her face he came closer to her and left her chin make her look at him "don't worry, I'll fix it, I promise" Sonehri smiled at him but all she was thinking about was Damon and how could this be one of his games, she knew him very well
Nicholas entered his brother room "again Damon moving without telling me anything" Nicholas yelled angry "I had to" Damon stated in calm tone "fine, I'm done" Nicholas said about to leave when Damon grabbed him and placed his hands on his brother's shoulders "this war needed a spark to start the fire and I saw a chance, I took it" Damon said "but maybe Aryan's men will talk, money won't shut them up for good" Nicholas stated "they won't, they are dead and the surprise I'm planning, won't leave any place for peace" Damon stated when Nicholas looked at him wondering, he still didn't make up his mind if he will be truly by his brother side
Next morning Nicholas sent a letter to Leah asking her to meet him outside the castle and she did "What is it?" She asked "Marry me" He asked when Leah looked shocked "Princess Leah Trevor would you marry me?" He asked again when she smiled confused "I … I don't know what to say" She said confused as she blushed "I want to hear it from you first then I will tell Aryan, tell the whole world" Nicholas said when she nodded smiling, Nicholas took her hand and kiss it, thinking that's it, he will marry Leah and be happy with her and Damon can say goodbye to his plane, Nicholas took Leah and they both went to Aryan and told him about what happened, Sonehri smiled happy for them while Aryan's face changed to serious expression "what do you say, your majesty?" Leah asked her brother "I'm sorry that's not going to happen" Aryan announced when they looked surprised "why? I'm not right for her" Nicholas asked "you know the traditions Prince, she was engaged and it was over, everyone will talk and it's the family, the royal honor, I can't risk that, Tyler ran his mouth about it, if you got married it will only confirm every rumor, and I can never allow this" Aryan explained walking away when Nicholas looked at Leah then left too
At night Aryan was headed to his room when he heard Leah crying in her room, it hurt him so much to hurt his only sister but his hands were tied by traditions and his family honor which was the most valuable, he went to his room to find Sonehri waiting for him "Sonehri, to what I own the pleasure" He said smiling "you are being un faire with Leah & Nicholas" Sonehri stated when Aryan sighed "I thought I made myself clear out there, there are some lines we can't cross" He stated "It's love, love cross the lines Aryan, it's blind, crazy and beyond madness that's what love do to us" Sonehri said when he smiled sarcastic "that's funny talking about love like this, I thought you never knew it, at least you never show me a hint of love" he said in a hurt tone "that's not about us, your breaking Nicholas's heart, Leah's too and for what?" She exclaimed "what about mine?, I'm married to the girl I loved but I'm banned from my room, and I can't touch her, I can't tell her how much it hurts to know every single moment that she wish if she can get out of this marriage, to be away from me when I wish nothing but to be close to her, you're talking about breaking hearts, you're breaking mine Sonehri, knowing that you are forced to be with me" Aryan finally spoke what was heaving his heart but he felt like he shouldn't have said any of it so he headed to the door to leave when Sonehri called him "Aryan, I don't hate you…in fact I never felt more loved by anyone as much as I felt the past few weeks, and I don't know what I'm about to say is right or wrong but .... I love you my king" Aryan looked at her then went towards her, they looked at each other eyes when he came closer to her about to kiss her she closed her eyes but Aryan kissed her forehead, Sonehri opened her eyes looking at him the way he acted meant a lot to her, he was about to leave when Sonehri catch his hand, he turned to her "Don't go, stay with me" She said looking at his eyes as he did the same for the first time Sonehri looked at Aryan like if she was seeing him for the first time forgetting everything but that he is her king, her loved one, her husband
On the other hand Nicholas was furious that Aryan refused to let him marry Leah and Damon decided to take advantage of it "he think now he is a king, that he is better than us" Damon stated "don't worry Nicholas I send my men after his right arm Alexander killing him will definitely start the war" Damon continued when Nicholas broke his silence "No, if anyone going to kill Alexander it will be me" Nicholas stated angry when Damon smiled to his brother
