We had ridden back tirelessly for two entire days. The guards sent by the queen and my sister only took short breaks before they were back and riding horses to my home again. It must have been something very important which is why they were all in a hurry to go back home.
The moment the sun rose we had started riding again today and by the nightfall we had entered my country and the capital. The moment I got down from the horse, Estelle came towards me with her arms held out ready to get me in a hug.
"I missed you, sister, I missed you so much." She crooned and I smiled. It was unlikely for her to show to show emotions and when she did, I loved it.
"I missed you too." I said barely concealing my smile at the affection she showed towards me. "How is everything?" I asked as soon as she let go.
She smiled and held my shoulder, giving it a small squeeze. " You must be tired. Cover your face, we have to get you inside before anyone else knows about this."
