Vixaria Allyena, a warlord's daughter?  That explained the fine clothes and fine horse.  Spending so much time in the woods, Nathan was unaware of recent local politics, so he knew nothing of a royal marriage.  Though he was familiar with Warlord Jareth, having fought against him in the past.<br/><br/>"I never thought much of arranged marriages, either.  They're usually marriages based upon convenience and not love.  As for your father, I have my own reasons not to turn you in to him.  So your secret is safe with me.  But if you don't mind me asking, who's doing the chasing, your father or the prince?  Or both."  Nathan suspected this was a situation that the warlord would keep secret from the prince as long as possible.  It had to be embarrassing to Jareth to have his daughter choose flight over marriage to the prince.
