(We got plots for days!)

"Rob, what are you doing here so late? You should get some sleep my son. I've heard that you might travel as soon as tomorrow afternoon." Queen Callie said.

Rob sighed and sat down in one of the chairs in her tent. "Mother, I've come to see you for guidance."

"Guidance, for what my son?" She asked.

"About this whole situation between Bellisa, Jeanne and myself. I am conflicted." He stated.

"There is nothing to be conflicted about. You are betrothed to Princess Bellisa and that betrothal is the cornerstone of your alliance with Northpoint. To break this pact would be an insult to King Damian and his sister." The Queen Dowager explained.

"I know...yet there is something that you do not know. Last night I took Jeanne's maidenhood." Rob revealed.

The queen stayed silent for a few minutes before replying. "She is but a soldier, Rob. It is not a big.."

"She is a lady, a daughter of Lady Nathans of Gauvadon. She is of noble birth." Rob interrupted her. "Jeanne is no mere soldier."

"That..complicates things." Callie agreed.

"What I've done has dirtied my honor, hers and those of our two families." Rob said, ashamed.

Callie put a hand on his shoulder. She knew him too well. He was his father's son, honor was everything to him. "Rob, I know what you must be thinking, but that decision could put your whole alliance in jeopardy. Is honor really worth it?"

"It is not just that mother. Initially I was conflicted because I think I feel something for Jeanne. Something I've never felt with anyone else." Rob replied.

"Rob, you are young. You will feel it many times in your life." Callie told him.

"How can you be so sure?" the king asked.
