It was late in the night when Arielle was passing by the northern Shornhelm countryside. Ever since she left the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary, she has been travelling slowly and cautiously. Only moving during the night to avoid prying eyes. She knew that if she was caught by Jakben or one of the others, that the only thing awaiting her was death.

She rode her horse through the woods, up ahead she heard some noise. The princess reached for her Rapier instictively.

Her horse began to try to stop, but she pulled the reigns and urged the horse forward.

Rob headed into one the Iceblade tents to see if Jeanne was there. Her comrades told the king that she wasn't, so the king went searching. Sir Cirges walked beside him.

Roberto found Jeanne returning from the village and walking into the camp. "Oh, my king." She said when she spotted him.

"Hello Jeanne." He said. Cirges moved away to let them talk in private.

"I..I'm really sorry about last night. I wanted to tell you that as soon as I ran into Princess Bellisa, but I didn't know when was a good time. I didn't mean to create trouble between you and your betrothed. You must hate me right now..."

"Jeanne...It's okay. You don't need to apologize to me. However, I am betrothed to Bellisa so I won't be able to see you anymore." He told her.

"I know, I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking straight, I must have ruined your marriage. I regret going to see you "

The king interrupted her. "Jeanne. I don't regret you coming. I had a good time." He sighed. "My marriage to Bellisa is one of politics. I am betrothed to her in order to solidify my alliance with her brother. I do not love her, she is not my type."

After hearing his words, the soldier calmed down a bit.

"I made an pact with Damian. I'd soil my honor if I break it. So I ask that we keep out distance." Rob said. "But don't mistake my words for ones of regret. The night we spent together was the best one I had in months."

Jeanne smiled. "It was a good night. Even if this is our last time speaking to one another, I suppose I'll always have that night to remember you by." She blushed a little, with was odd for the soldier. "As firsts go, it was truly spectacular."

Rob stood there for a moment, as his mind processed her words. "What?"
