147 The Prince's Trophy

Evanna sat stiffly in the saddle upon Shardeigh's back with the Demon Prince seated comfortably and closely behind her. They rode at the front of their little group, and after a few hours of galloping through the trees, they finally slowed down to a walk. Not that Evanna found the change in pace any better, it meant Conrad could now speak to her more freely. The princess turned to look behind them, straining her neck to look over Conrad's large form and could see Ronan sharing another horse with one of the other three men she did not know the names of.
