AFTER a reasonable amount of time had passed...
The Castle's court lady was in her personal space, perambulating the entire breadth of her bedroom. All the while she did this, she thought deeply about a certain someone— Elizabeth.
After the brief encounter with Beth, Sigrid had tried her best to suppress the deep concern she felt towards her, but to no avail.
"Why this? But I've said already that I will have no involvement in the matter, yet my heart continues to trouble me sore," said Sigrid to herself.
Next, she walked to her bedroom window, and peeped outside. To her greatest surprise, she saw some members of the king's echelon getting set as though they would be heading somewhere with His Majesty. Beside them were some stablemen who had just got out some healthy saddle horses.
As Sigrid continued to observe the men intently, her eyes met with the king's aide, Ezekiel. He was standing in direct proximity with the other men—noble knights.
