Parelia turned her head around with precaution and looked at Arsy to make sure he was listening to her. She proceeded. “But when it was time to go down, my horse dug in its feet, refusing to go back through the same road we had climbed up. I tried pulling it, then persuading, but nothing worked! There was no choice but to go down another way, but it appeared to be harder than I could assume. As a result, I lost my way. The sun had set a long time ago, whereas I was wandering among mountain roads, trying to find the way to the city.”

“And you were not scared, were you?” inquired Arsy.

“Scared? Of course, I wasn’t scared.” Parelia laughed. “I am very courageous! It was just that I missed a dancing party, and on top of it, I smeared and tore my favorite dress and got out of the forest looking like a vagabond but with plenty of unforgettable impressions!”

Parelia glowingly told him a couple of other funny stories about sunsets, every time describing them in detail.

“I wonder if you really don’t see all this beauty…” Parelia showed surprise, stretching her hand towards the setting sun, as though trying to grab and hold it in the sky.

“No big deal,” she heard in response. “True beauty is here, and it’s you. There is no other beauty than you in the world.”

Parelia turned back again and stared at him with surprise. “Why are you lying? I’m sure you also like admiring sunsets,” she thought and suddenly remembered a story associated with Arsy.

As we know, during ceremonial parties, Arsy evaded the princess in every way he could. Parelia, understandably, had noticed that, and she made all efforts to find out who he was and why he steered clear of her. One fine day, she decided to follow him and catch him flatfooted. She didn’t take her eyes off him the whole day, and once Arsy left the reception room, she followed him discreetly. To her surprise, he went to the balcony, where one could behold a magnificent view of the sunset. He stood there enchanted and watched the evening sun smoothly hide away behind the horizon, dying the sky in fantastic colors. At that moment, Parelia could hardly suppose that Arsy wasn’t admiring the sunset but was simply standing there, waiting until his cronies came and took the robbed pillage.

Parelia decided not to disturb him. Besides, they could be noticed together with the background of a beautiful romantic sunset, which would give way to rumors. However, the princess had prepared a trap for him; she locked the balcony door and hid behind the glass door, leaving to the veranda. As soon as Arsy stepped back to the hall, she’d lock that door too, and Arsy would be trapped. However, Arsy stood at the balcony for quite a long time, which seemed an eternity to Parelia. She peeped out of her hiding place a couple times and looked at him curiously.

Finally, Arsy went back to the reception room.
