" Where is she!? "

Quinn slammed his desk with his hands as he stared at the map. It's been weeks since he saw you. When he woke up in the cell, without you there he figured out what happened and he was livid. The servants found him and when he got out he asked where you were and no one could say. They said his mother was gone too, and he knew his mother helped you escape. 

Ever since he got out he's been looking everywhere for you. He just couldn't seem to find you.

   " Sir, we've looked all over the kingdom and she's no where to be seen. " His assistant said cautiously.

   " And what about that assassin? Jin? Where is he? "

   " It seems he is gone as well, your majesty. "

   " Damn it! "

Quinn was furious. He wanted to find you and punish you for leaving him and tricking him as you did. And he wanted to have Jin hanged. He even was so blinded by rage that his own mother would be tried for treason once he found her. 

   " Where could they have gone? They're not even in the kingdom anymore. "

   " Your majesty if I may add, the knights found a small hole near the wall covered by a bush. It was on the south wall. "

   " The south wall. "

Quinn looked down at his map and pointed at his south wall. He traced his finger from the south wall down, further south. His finger went past his border and past the hills to the Ezoba Empire. 

   " That's where they're heading. Send out a letter to the king of the Ezoba Empire about the future queen of Madrathia being kidnapped and possibly headed towards his territory. If he finds her he is ordered to have her sent directly to me. "

   " Yes, your majesty. "

His assistant left the room to prepare the letter and Quinn stared at the map at the Ezoba Empire.

   " I'll find you and no one will get in my way. If they do I'm going to kill them with my bare hands. "

( With You )

   " Is this the cabin? "

   " Yeah, it's nice isn't it? "

The cabin was small, with only one bedroom, one bathroom, and a kitchen that connected to a living room. Jin was unlocking the door to get in, and when he did the cabin looked a little dusty, and there were cobwebs over the furniture.

   " It needs a little fixing up but I think it's nice. " Jin said looking back at you.

   " Let's get cleaning. "

You set your bag down and noticed a broom in the kitchen. You took it and started sweeping the dusty floor. After years of being a maid your cleaning tick kicked in and you wanted to clean the entire cabin before sundown. Jin grabbed a duster and started cleaning the cobwebs and the dust from the corner and crevices. It didn't take you long to sweep all of the floors and sweep it out of the house. 

When that was done you looked in the bedroom at the mattress and closet and decided to just take the bedsheets off the mattress and set them outside for the coming rain to wash. You walked back inside and saw Jin lighting the fireplace with some fresh wood and flint. 

   " The rain will be here soon so if there's anything we need to wash we need to put it outside. I'm going to hang the bed sheets up for the rain. "

   " Okay, I'm going to get the stove working. "

After that little discussion, you both got to work on cleaning the cabin. You didn't know how long you were going to be there but you were at least going to make it comfy to live in. When everything was taken care of and cleaned you sat on the freshly cleaned couch and waited for Jin to get done with the bathroom.

   ' Now, we can relax a little bit. We still have a lot of food left so we don't have to worry about that. '

   " Alright! The bathroom is clean! "

   " Good. How much did it take to clean it? "

   " It took most of the materials you gave me. You really have a knack for cleaning. I guess all those years of being a maid really helped you in the long run. "

   " I guess it did, but now we can just relax and worry about nothing. "

   " How I want to spend my night. "

Jin sat down beside you and put his arm around your shoulders. You both were sitting in front of the fire on the couch, relaxing in the heat. 

   " You think we'll be safe here? "

   " Honestly no. I don't think we are. He's smart and he'll figure out where we are, so we need to run away again at another time, but we can return here later once everything has calmed down if you want. "

   " Okay. How long do you think we'll be here? "

   " I don't know. It depends on if they figure out the way we got out. I hope Aileen was able to get out just fine. "

   " I'm sure she did if she left when we did. "

   " I hope so. "

   " Hey, look at me. "

You looked up at Jin and he hugged you closer to him.

   " I'm sure she's just fine. She made reservations to be protected by Elina and her future husband. "

   " Future husband? "

   " She's engaged to that guy from the ball. "

   " When was this!? "

   " This was when you were taken to the cells. It's been a while since you heard any outside news huh? "

   " Yeah, I guess it has. "

   " The point is you're here and not stuck in that cell any longer. Okay, you can live out your life and enjoy it. "

Jin leaned down and kissed your lips and you leaned into him, kissing him back. You two let go of the kiss, but you reconnected again right after. The kiss was getting a little more intense and you climbed on top of him, kissing his lips still. Jin held your hips, and the memory of kissing Quinn never entered your mind.

   " Are you sure? " Jin asked disconnecting your lips.

   " There's no one else I would rather have right now. "

   " But only if you're sure. "

   " I am. "

You connected lips again and you laid fully on top of Jin. The kiss was getting hot and the flames from the fireplace didn't seem to compete with the flames that you were creating on the sofa. Jin held your body to him, but he disconnected your lips once more.

   " What if we got married? "

   " Isn't that going to fast? "

   " Isn't what we're doing right now going to fast? "

   " Touche. "

   " I was just thinking, it would also add some protection to you. That way when people ask your name you can say Y/n Qiqiang and not your birth name. They'll be looking for someone with your last name. "

   " They'll be looking for you too you know. "

   " Shhh, don't ruin the idea. "

Jin connected your lips once more and pulled away.

   " I don't have a ring right now, but will you marry me and become Y/n Qiqiang? "

   " Who would I be the wife of? "

   " The wife of someone who loves, protects, and cares for her. Of someone who will never leave her. To a an who used to be an assassin and now wants a life of freedom with the woman he loves. A life with Y/n. Will you marry me? "

You leaned down and kiss his lips and he slipped his tongue into your mouth. He flipped positions and was now on top of you, straddling your hips. He pinned your hands above your head with his and continued to french kiss you. Jin let go of your hands and pulled your tucked-in tight shirt out of your pants and felt the skin underneath the tight fabric. Your hands ran through his hair and tugged on it. 

   " Why the hell not? " You said in between kisses.

With your reply, your tight shirt was gone and on the floor with the room progressively getting warmer as his tongue developed deeper in your mouth and your hands tugged on his belt.
