"Gone?" Miranda gasped, "Sis... Always trying to be a hero. She was supposed to be home weeks ago!" taking in the news. Granted, she was also supposed to be back in Illestan, what with the news of the stalled offensive agaisnt Alaquant causing serious civil unrest that threatened to destabilize the country. Miranda didn't really pay much attention to it, to be frank, but if it were bad enough that she had heard of it, it was like to be quite dire. Granted, Father'd flay her if he found out she'd run off after her sister without permission (Or escort, for that matter), but the young girl knew he could spare none of the castles undermanned household knights to accompany her even if she had.<br/><br/>It was better this way, although it did mean that she wasn't about to come back without Aurelia. If her sister managed to get herself killed, well, it'd be bad for all of them.<br/><br/>"Well... At least she's alive. I guess we can't exactly go after her any further if the fort's been overrun." The young princess tried to hide her concern as best she could, but it was very obvious she was having difficulty restraining herself from marching off down the road after her.
