Jaered winced as the princess stalked off, noting to have a sit down with her later and at least try to explain the edge pieces of his plan. He went to his chambers and started in on his noon documents and practicing what he would say to Silina.<br/><br/>((Fort five minutes later at Yvette's quarters:))<br/><br/>The prince gave an orderly greeting to one of the servants he recognized from Silina's recruits as she walked away from the closed door that had been assigned to Yvette. As soon as he was within touching distance of the door he knocked and waited for a reply.<em>'This is going to be easy...'</em>He tried to convince himself,<em>'Just tell her why you saved her... Why did you save her? Not because she's beautiful, though that is a perk...
