Lady Vienna cursed under her breath, wanting to help her so badly, “Just send me a letter, Princess. One letter and I’ll come here to rescue you. Mark my words.”

“You are a great friend, Lady Vienna. But I’ll manage on my own. I don‘t want to owe anyone. Now run. Don’t come back here without the duke’s protection.”
