Elisa kept looking back through the window of the carriage. Commotion grew intense as the carriage she rode on drove further away from the royal palace. The carriage the king and queen rode on was before Elisa's.
"Zara, please stop. I promise I won't be long. Please. I just need to talk to him for a few seconds. Really, I will be quick."
She grazed the window with her fingers, but Zara kept her from the door. Elisa would open the door and jump out of the carriage if Zara did not block the path with her body.
The two struggled inside the carriage for a very long time. Elisa only stopped when she was tired and fell asleep. When she awoke, her head was resting on Zara's lap. While the head maid closed her eyes, Elisa saw it as her chance to slip out, but apparently, Zara only pretended to be asleep.
She quickly grabbed Elisa's wrist and glared at her. "What are you doing, Your Highness?"
