Sarah's heart broke all over again as she caught Malece's reflection staring at her. The woman was young and oh so beautiful. She should of never had to go through what she had. The pain that poured from her eyes and into Sarah's heart was almost unbearable. She needed to continue her story just to make herself feel better.
Sarah slid her hand under some of Malece's hair and ran a brush gently through it as she spoke, "That prince from the story earlier," she paused until she saw recognition in Malece painful eyes, "He was a handsome young man and full of life. From a very young age he had a way with horses that used to drive his father mad being that it was usually the complete opposite with him. The prince could whisper to a horse and calm it, whereas his father could do every trick and the beast would throw him free. It was really a humorous sight," Sarah caught herself giggling at the memory of The king on his back spouting curses at the horse.
"Being the eldest of his family, he often found himself doing exactly what I'm doing for you, but for his sisters. They were all beauties in their own way. The eldest was two years younger than the prince and the youngest was only six. The halls of their castle would be filled daily wit the laughter of the children playing childish games. You would of loved it if you had been there, Malece," Sarah had almost given away that her story was indeed memories. It was too early for Malece to learn that the prince was now the cruel beast that had order the killing other loved ones and her captivity.
Sarah cleared her through, "There, if we don't hurry, the king will be far less forgiving," she smiled at the reflection of Malece.

"No, Gordon," if you put troops there then our forces in the neighboring regions will suffer. You should move them here," he was pointing to different areas on a small map of the kingdom. It had taken Sarah so long to get the woman ready that the two men had retreated to business.
"I understand your concern, how about if we move them from here and sent a detachment to reinforce that spot?" Gordon countered.
Vincent sat back down and thought a moment, "That'll do, Gordon," he nodded in surrender. There was a reason he had grown so close to Gordon. To have a brilliant mind like his against Vincent would be a death wish. Now he had that mind working for him. His enemies should tremble.
Suddenly the doors sounded as the handles were pulled to open and Vincent rose to his feet, "Sarah, its about ti-" his words were cut short by what his eyes beheld. Even Gordon stood stunned.
Sarah had arrived with the woman who was beyond words despite picking one of Abigail's simpler outfits.
