Princess Marie's pulse raced as Henry led her through Hydrogia. Her body sought adventure and the man she had unexpectedly fallen for seemed intent on giving her just that.
Without a hitch, they made it to Henry's large horse and he helped her onto it before undoing the reigns from the post and jumping on top of the animal in one smooth movement. She was, again, amazed by his skill and strength.
The food items they had carried were in the princess's hands and she held onto them for dear life with one hand while hugging henry with the other.
While it was hard to get through the streets at such a busy hour, Henry deftly guided the horse to the eastern entrance of Hydrogia. They remained unrecognized and he was happy their spontaneous disguises had done the job.
