<span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Daphne gasped as Edgar saved Sabina's life. He was never one for compassion, so that meant there was something to gain from keeping her alive. But when Edgar suggested a duel to death between him and Alexander, she wanted to scream. <em>They can't, they just can't.. The prince, he'll be killed for sure.</em> She gave a hardened look to Edgar and was about to retort when Victoria suggested they make their way home, away from the walls of Shakou. Relief flooded through her, but she gave a look to Alexander, not wanting to go. She frowned for a moment, and then turned away from him, trying not to show her emotions.<br/><br/>Victoria cut Daphne's bonds and she rubbed her wrists, which were bruised, and burned from contact with the rope. She wiped at the cut on her neck and gritted her teeth. "Thanks." She looked at Victoria for a moment and smiled, wanting to hug her tight, but there would be time for catching up later, right now she had to talk these idiots out of a duel.<br/><br/>She was about to open her mouth, tell these meat-heads that what they were doing was stupid, but then the prince spoke up. At his words, she looked into the direction he was mentioning and saw a cloud of dust, and men riding on horses. They were wearing Kryton colors, but the uniform was different. "Victoria, those are not guards.." Daphne looked at the prince and then Victoria and Edgar, her heart was racing, she knew that something was wrong.</span>
