"We will help him escape." I declared.
She did not respond immediately probably still processing and it was me who had said those words.
"Your. . . Highness said something?" She frowned. "I think I heard you say, that we will help escape a man from prison."
"Yes, I said that."
"Oh," she gulped. "I am assuming that your highness knows what it will do to the relations between our countries?" her hesitance was not for the country but more for what would happen to me if I got caught. She was right. Even though I wanted to end the misery of the merchant I had feelings for, I could risks thousands of life for it especially when I was dealing with a man leading the barbaric country. Prince Lysar would not think twice before going to war and having me consummate our marriage.
