The Princess of Merria

[Flawless]

Soren heard the thuds as he quickly made his way back down the coridoor. Damn, I told her not to destroy the room..


Finally, after going through twists and turns and up and down staircases, he came to his chambers. They were far warmer, and looked like royalty after considering Caroline's quarters. But at that point in time, all he wanted to do was sleep. Not even bothering to take his boots off, he fall back onto his feather bed, and fell almost immediately asleep.


Gerard paced his chambers, a fierce fire roaring in the hearth before him. He softly chuckled to himself. He was where he wanted now, and soon his younger brother would be begging at his feet. And finally, the crown that was rightfully his by birth, would belong to him and him alone.


But meanwhile, he would pay a visit to his precious niece in the morning.

Caroline read until the dark slit in her room provided no more light. When darkness completely fell, she stood up and peered into the darkness in hopes of at least seeing a star or two, but to no avail.


When she wandered back into bed, she made an attempt to read as much as she could, squinting profusely. Carline eventually gave up, allowing the sound of her steady breathing and thoughts of freedom to put her to sleep, the book resting by her side.
