Sabela swallowed thickly.
"And... we never see each other again?" she choked.

Llyr took some time to contemplate his answer to this question, not wanting to upset her more than she already was.
"We might cross ways again... you are not to be completely isolated from the kingdom of your birth after all."

Sabela bit her lip.
"But would you even stay in the Kingdom if you knew I was coming?"
She wasn't sure she could see him hanging around to return in hand with another. Certainly not if she - God forbid - brought the Prince's children back with her...

Llyr hesitated again, choosing honestly over tact this time.
"I could not say for sure." He continued to avoid eye-contact, not wanting to look at her for fear of what he might see.

Sabela tore her eyes away.
"I knew you wouldn't," she said, the tiniest element of bitterness entering her voice.
"Sometimes I wonder if you're going to just abandon me and run away before everything happens."

Llyr's eyes flashed with hurt in the faint moonlight, his pride wounded deeply by her statement. He said nothing, and raised his helmet to his head once more, his face disappearing again behind the two-toned plate of metal, only his eyes peering through the slits.
"I would never abandon my duty," he said stiffly. "I will see you married to the Hasnian Prince, and then return to my country to serve my king. That is the task I have been entrusted with, so it is that I will complete."
He pressed a hand to his chest and dipped into a slight bow, a sign of respect that was almost more cold than respectful. "By your leave my lady," he mused, taking a step towards the door to return to his post.

Sabela didn't utter another word, regretful of what she had already said, but also sullen at his response. She moved to the bedside, trying to prepare herself for a sleepless night.

Llyr resumed his post by the door, fuming with anger and hurt. He knew she was simply distressed, but if she could so easily denounce his character like that, then she cant ever have really loved him that much.

The bustling lady's maid hurried down the hall towards the guarded door at the end. She held a large box in her hands that she nursed very carefully. One of the guards was familiar to her, he always seemed to be there, to the point where she wondered if he slept or simply stood by the Princesses door day and night. The girl didn't go out much, except for the short walk she seemed to have made a habit. Even then that same guard would follow silently a short distance behind them, and she could always feel his eyes boring warningly into the back of her head. She'd heard stories of the loyalty of that kingdom's Knights, but now she was seeing it first hand.
"I'm here to get her highness ready for the ball," she announced to the guards as they moved to bar her way. They were not in full ceremonial dress yet, and for once the Knight in question was not wearing his helmet. There was something about his expression that seemed the very image of misery, perhaps it was the hollowness of the eyes...?
"Very well," he allowed in his flat toned voice, withdrawing the long-staved axe that he'd extended to bar her way.
Tittering slightly inside with nerves the maid knocked on the door - as was polite - before pushing her way in through the heavy wood door.
"Milady?" she called softly as she pulled the door closed behind her.
