"I'll start with this," he trailed his lips back and forth across hers until she instinctively followed before kissing her gently. After several minutes he broke the kiss, setting her down on the ground. Turning her, he drew her back against his chest, leaning his head down by her ear. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her in place.<br/><br/>"And for the record, I did not cheat. I was the one that had this maze installed, in case of attack on the palace. It is my duty to protect my family, you included." He explained. "When I had it put in, I had tunnels built leading from three points within the palace, out to here so that my family could emerge still under cover. There are hatches that emerge by the fountain, by the stone chair, and just on the outside of that wall," he pointed to the nearest hedge wall. "And there are small pathways to allow Pavel and Liz to escape from the maze quickly. They know the routes, eventually you will have to learn them too."
