The horse was exhausted. There was no moon, luckily, and the gods were aiding her. Few sentinels were present. The castle was smaller than her family’s however that did not matter to her. The Prince was to be her husband. The Prince and no one else. She slid through the secret underground passage. He told her once, when he himself, months ago, sneaked away to meet her in the middle of the night, swearing everlasting love and desire. Their bodies met for the first and only time and Tamlyn wished she had become with child - even if it could mean her death."
