-month 11-
A messenger bursts into my presence chamber one day while I am playing with Ethan. He pants heavily and rushes to tell me news that drains all color from my face.
King Edward had challenged Sir Jacob to a duel--and Jacob had lost. He is now held captive in the palace, and no one knows what will happen to him.
"Tell him to wait for me! Tell him I am coming," I cry. "Tell him not to harm Jacob!"
I run for my riding cape. "Actually, stay here," I tell the poor gasping messenger. "I'll tell him!"
I hand Ethan to a nurse and saddle my horse, riding off before I even think. Eventually Sir Eric and Sir Matthew catch up to me, though I don't know how, I am pushing my horse so hard.
I don't acknowledge them. I just have to reach the palace. I have to, before it's too late.
