The knight looked around. "They were  Iarila, and Zion.." he glared at Meras. "I lied because I feared how she would be treated, and yes..she is special. Her father  was a prince  of a place far from here. She is like my little princess, but all Zion wanted  was a boy. She was nothing to him. When her mother  found  out  that  he didn't want her, she wanted to make sure  she had a good father  that would protect  her  from people like her husband."<br/>Zarilla wasn't sure how to react to the  kiss, but the  knights story was becoming more suspicious. Didn't he say both her parents  didn't want her before?<br/>"His story is beginning to make me  think he is nothing but a liar. How can I trust someone who tells so many lies? I rather be with him  father...he cares about me,  all you want  from me is to control me."<br/>The knight frowned at her. "He  lies  more than me...he says he cares...but all he wants is to be  royalty."
