Hawkmoth frowned once Alya left the throne room. He made his way out in the opposite direction to his studies.

He entered the room slamming it shut and opened a wall that revealed a set of stairs to a hidden tower in the castle. When he reached the entrance he once again slammed the door open scaring the purple kwami inside.

"That low class little brat! Thinking she could speak to me that way! If only I had that ring, I'd be able to make her pay, I'D MAKE THEM ALL PAY!" In a fit of rage Hawkmoth pushed all the contents of his work station on the floor paper flew across the floor as glass shattered as well.

Nooroo shook in fear, he never seen his master so angry, he was scared that his anger might turn on him eventually.

"We're running out of time Nooroo. The princess has until her next birthday to chose a husband and the moment she becomes queen I'm finished!"

"It's okay Master. You'll figure out another way to become King." Nooroo spoke with a timid voice. "You may not have the ring or be able to marry the princess but I'm sure-"

"Wait....say that again."

"Uh um...you may not have the ring?"

"No you idiot! After that!"

Nooroo flinched,"Uh.Uh..you're not able to marry the princess?"

"Marry the princess....that's a brilliant idea actually." Hawkmoth gave a menacing smile. "With the King under my control I can just have him order the princess to become my wife. It's so simple."

"B..But....Master"

"Silence! Are you forgetting your place?" Nooroo remained silent. "Prepare the akumas, I'll need a few on hand if I'm going to trick the King long enough to make this work."

Nooroo looked down to the ground and nodded sadly, "Yes Hawkmoth..."

Nino, Adrien and Plagg were on an oasis a few miles outside of the kingdom.

Nino held a smirk as he floated around in the air. "Thank you for flying air Nino everybody."

"Woah that was so cool!" Adrien hopped with excitement.

"Eh...you get used to it." Plagg shrugged. "I was sleep the whole way."

"Don't be a hater." Nino stuck his tongue out.

Adrien laughed and turned to the genie. "Thanks for getting us out of there. So about my 3 wishes..."

Nino shook his head. "What are you talking about? You only have one wish left hotshot."

Adrian shook his head. "Nope. I never actually wished us out the cave remember? You did that all on your own."

Nino was about to retort but quickly froze. He was right, he did get them out of the cave on his own. He's been duped!

Nino grabbed the blonde by the vest lifting him of the ground. "You think you're so smart don't you pretty boy?"

Adrien chuckled "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I just didn't want to wish for anything while we we're trapped under a pile of rubble."

Nino frowned at the blonde but released him.

"I'm sorry I offended you back in the cave. Your magic really is amazing from what I've seen."

Nino looked back at Adrien. The blonde had a huge smile and his eyes glowed giving him this innocent puppy faced look. He couldn't be some kind of fiend he just looked to innocent for that.

Still, Nino knew better than to get close. He has had to many masters for that.

"Okay fine I'll let it go, but don't think you can get me a second time, now I have my guard up."

Adrien put his hands up, "Wasn't planning to." He put his hand on his chin and began to walk in a circle. "3 wishes....What to wish for.." He thought about all the things he could ever want, but for some reason they didn't feel right, he'd have to be smart about this. "Wow this is a lot harder than I thought."

The blonde looked over at Nino who was floating on his back waiting. "Hey Nino, what would you wish for?"

Nino's eyes shot opened and he looked at the green eyed boy. "What would I wish for?" He sat upright still floating in the air. "No ones...ever asked me that before."

Nino thought for a moment, it didn't take long for him to figure it out, the one thing he's wanted for as long as he could remember.

"Well I..." Wait, what was he doing? He can't tell this guy this. He barely even knows him. "...actually never mind. Its never going to happen so why bother.."

"Oh come on. You can tell me, i promise I wont laugh if that's what you're thinking."

"It's not that. It's not going to happen so why waste my breath on it."

"You don't know that. If I can meet a genie in a magical temple and have a floating talking cat I'm pretty sure you can get your wish."

Nino chuckled. "Okay well....I'd wish for my freedom."

Adrien's eyes widen, "Your...freedom?" He looked at the ring on his right hand. "You're a prisoner?"

Nino nodded. "For as long as I can remember, dont know if I've ever had a life before I found myself in the ring. Then I found myself granting wishes to whoever found it. Thousands of years I've been doing this."

"So...why can't you stop?" Adrien asked.

"The only way I'm set free. Is if my master wishes me free."

"Really? Is that it? In that case I'll do it."

"What?"

"I'll wish you free! I'll use my first 2 and my third one to release you from the ring."

Nino rolled his eyes. "Yeah right Dude, you're not the first to give me that. Sorry but I'm not buying it."

"No I'm serious, I know how it feels to be trapped no one should have to feel like that I'm going to set you free I promise." He stuck his hand out to the brunette. "Shake on it?"

Nino stared at the outstretched hand with a raised eyebrow "How do I know you're sincere?"

Adrien smiled, "You're my friend now aren't you? I'm not going to let you go away."

Nino blinked. He sounded and looked sincere, but then again it could all be an act. Still, he felt like he could trust him. At least for now.

Sighing, Nino took a hold of the blonde's hand shaking it. "Here's to hoping I guess." he said with a smile.
