Sierra carefully opened the room door, making sure to make minimal noise as she crept up the stairs, as she got closer, she noticed a shadow. Sierra tightened her grip on the hilt of her sword as she continued making her way up.
By the time she got to the top of the stairs, she was in shock.
It was Alistair.
"What are you doing here?" She asked in shock.
"Ah, sweetling, I've been waiting for you."
"What are you doing here?" She asked again since he failed to reply to her question, "Ida thought you were an intruder."
She was certain he did not enter through the main doors of the lodge. If so, all the princesses would have been talking about it. Everyone would have known. She looked over to the open window, certain he came in from there.
She walked over to him, ready to get him to leave. She knew the danger they would be in if someone discovered him here. It would be quite the scandal. A king and his mistress.
