It's only the princess. You sigh in relief or is it in relief?
The night grows old and the King is never far from your thoughts. Your sitting next to Lord Jackson and he's talking about his hunt today. "...then I almost got the stag but he got out of my line of sight and Lord Gibson took the shot"
"I'm sure that he made sure everyone knew he got the shot?" Lord Harrison laughs
"Of course, he did. He immediately parade around in the forest announcing his victory shot" Everyone laughs, having a good time but your thoughts are somewhere else. You won't be seeing the King the entire week and you can't shake the sad feeling that comes over you. You give your biggest fake smile and nod at Lord Jackson.
One of the kings men walks up to you "Excuse me, are you Lady Winters, Mam?"
"Uhm...yes?"
"This is for you, Mam. It's strictly for your eyes only, Mam" He hands you a note with the Kings seal on. "Oh, okay, thank you"
