***EDITING*** What is worse than finding yourself inside the game you have been playing online? Being a side character who is killed in the first levels of the game. Gene, or Siv as her character is called, has to find a way to survive in a game where only the smart and powerful remains. Especially when she is engaged to the cold Prince Brandt.
"How have you been?" Bjarte asks as he takes down his hood.
"Lonely, but not bad." Tove answers, taking the groceries from him.
"I am sorry you have to be here in this isolated place, but I want you to be safe."
"I know." She gives him a weak smile. "I think I just miss my little sister." Tove puts the food away. "How was the ride here?"
"Eventless. The Lions are all in the palace, and the royal guards are scarce these days." Tove is silent for a moment.
"Any news about Lady Siv?" She asks with a soft voice.
"No, but no news is good news. That means they have not found her yet." Bjarte hugs Tove from the back. "She is very tough, she will be alright."
"She will." Tove hugs him back.
