After arrow incident Shia was not allowed to move freely, the security were increased. Maya was not allowing anyone go near Shia and Rain was concerned as Shia was representative of her village and villagers were great magicians and known for their unity. Rain deployed soldiers for keeping eyes on her in order to protect her .
Shia was sitting in her room looking at book and thinking about the three elements which were needed to open the book. Shia decided to talk to Maya about the book. She came to Maya's room and called her. Maya was not in her room so Shia sat down there and waited for her. Maya was in her library reading some alchemy books for making a new portion. A guard entered in library and informed Maya about Shia waiting for her. She told him to go and keep his eyes on. Shia while sitting touched her ring it was made of amethyst crystal wondering why he gave her a ring. Maya came back to her room and asked Shia if she had something to say. Shia was feeling bored while sitting in a room. She asked Maya about the book and also mentioned about her boredom. Maya asked Shia if she would like to participate in princess and mates dance event as it was also part of festival but only for royals and their closed ones.
Shia thought " a royal dance hmm!, it must be fun and maybe I will also get to interact with people who know something about the book". she agreed to participate and tried to know about elements powers as Maya was an alchemist too. Maya asked why she was so curious about the flower. Shia said she was told her about flower so she got curious.
Maya told her she have some books regarding that flower. Shia asked if she could read those books. Maya told her she will send those books in her room. Shia and Maya discussed about princess dance .
Shia noticed Vida looking at her and Maya But since , she started practicing again Shia ignored her.
Vida was a kind hearted girl and used to help people .But since being compared with Maya, ruined her childhood and made her coldhearted person, she started hating Maya . But always controlled herself from being jealous and tried not to harm her. But in order to get her anger out she bullied Maya sometimes or just watched her being bullied.
Maya knew about Vida's childhood and use to feel bad for her . She never responded neither harmed her for being bullied. Maya wanted to be friends with Vida but Vida hated her so she never mentioned about it.
Vida somewhere liked Maya but hated her too so seeing her being happy with someone made her feel jealous.
Shia and Maya registered themselves into participants and went to market for buying instruments and dresses. Shia asked what type of dance you guys do in princess dance.
Maya told Shia even she do not know as she never participated before.
