The old lady finally releases me and says "It''s an honor to marry his highness! I don''t know what kind of background you have but I can tell it isn''t good! His highness left you in my care so from now on, you will learn to act like a proper lady!" She humphs and walks away angerly.

    I watch the old lady leave with a look of disbelief. They''re all insane! Does she even care that I''m being held against my will? Does anyone care!? NO!! My ass doesn''t belong here and it''s about time I made my exit! "Humph" to you too!

    I stick my head out the door and look around the empty courtyard. Clear! I quickly jet from the room and don''t stop until I''m by the concrete wall. I look around one last time before pulling up my dress and climbing the plum tree next to the wall.

    Climbing a tree was hard to begin with but this dress made it next to impossible! It''s like a wearable deathtrap! I finally make it to the top with a large smile. I may be a nerd who sits inside playing on computers all day but I can still climb a tree like a boss!

    I quickly catch my breath as I look around once again. Still clear! I lean over and crawl onto the top of the concrete wall with concern. I look back into my yard with a frown. It was a courtyard inside of a larger courtyard! What the hell!? How big was this place???

    I thought freedom would be on the other side of this wall but it just looks like more of this place... Whatever! I''ll just continue going until I make my way out! With my mind made up, I look around one last time but what I see has me panicking. The bug and his sidekick!

    "Shit!" I try to lay flat but I slip on the damn dress!!! I try to grab something but my hand only manages to grab air. I fall straight off the wall!! I cringe and squeeze my eyes shut as I fall straight to the ground. This is gonna hurt!

    ... Why am I not falling anymore? Why doesn''t it hurt? Images of a prince charming coming to my rescue quickly vanish when I open my eyes to find Bai Lei and Ren both staring at me. Confused, I try to figure out why I haven''t fallen.

    I twist around to see my dress... it was caught on the tree branch... I sigh and go limp. Of course... I look back over to Bai Lei and Ren with a strained smile. "I could use a little help... hehe.." I say with an awkward smile.

    Bai Lei''s cold eyes watch me without a word. He then turns and keeps walking with Ren following after him. "Hey! I''m seriously stuck! ..... Are you two really going to just leave me like this!??" I yell after them as I kick and twist.

    After fighting a few moments I''m completely out of breath and pissed. They really just left me!!! I hang limply in the tree as others continue to walk past me. Some giggle, others whisper... all while I hang in all my shame.

    I hate dresses!! After hanging for a while a thought comes to mind. I grab the ties holding the dress together and pull with everything I have. They almost didn''t release with all my weight pulling against them but when I feel it give, I quickly put my legs down. This dress is really strong!

    "HAH!" I might be in my undergarments again but who cares!! At least I''m not stuck in the damn tree like a retarded Christmas ornament! Well... I probably looked more like a Halloween decoration but who cares! I''m free!

    I turn with a smile but it quickly stiffens. Why was this man everywhere I go! Every time I do something, he''s there! He''s starting to resemble a damn ghost! Bai Lei stands in a black outfit with golden seams, both hands behind his back... glaring at me.

    Did I say demon before? Scratch that, he''s like the devil himself! I quickly turn around and bolt for it. I have no idea where I''m going but I sure as hell am not going back! I run past a few women, causing them to scream like I''m an intruder or something. I''m trying to leave okay!
