I went back to my prince Glad-Spear and his kingdom. He was so welcoming! I had been kidnaped and returned back to the castle in less than a day. The other kingdom had not even had time to write a ransom note. I could not find it in my heart to tell him about my experience either. I thought at first that he was putting on some sort of act. But it turns out he just really did not know.
Or so I thought!
I had my maids run me a hot bath and I bathed before bed that night after returning. My prince came to my door but as always did not enter. He stood on the other side of the closed door. He talked to me and asked about my day. He gave me the run down of his day as well.
