Nelson was easy on his horse, knowing that a hunt was a game of stamina. He smiled to himself, there was only a just over a days gallop between there respective cities, the kingdoms always having depended on there mutual loyalty, not much room for her to have fled to. He couldn't think that she was heading home, or even less likely toward his kingdom. The Prince rides on for some hours at a moderate pace. He had brought 2 extra horses so that they could relieve them periodically and reach the convoy she had escaped from before Mid day. He dismounted and thought for a moment, the dispatch that was sent to search for her was still about, he figured they might as well be kept around as guides. Then he waved two of his hunters over. "Alright, well first things first. I don't think she would stick to the roads. Otherwise she would certainly have been found, her fathers men came from the south road and us from the north. How could we miss her? I heard she was familiar with hunting, though I dont know to what degree. I'd bet she took to the woods, east or west. Each of you take one of the hounds and try to pick op a trail. Maybe smoke her out if you can. but If you do find her she isn't to be harmed or its your head." He said casually, though it was probably true. Anyways one of his hunters should be able to handle one stray princess if they found her, though to be sent the hunters in two teams of two. "Report back here at dark." The hunters saluted and scattered into the woods, the dogs having got her scent from her personal effects she had not taken with her. It was a blessing that no princess could run away with all the things her station demanded she have. Made things much easier. Sighing he rest and fed his horse and awaited his scouts return.
