Alone in the bedroom, she longed for the night like a child awaiting a gift. She couldnt control her excitement. She tried reading a book, but her eyes kept wandering to the window. When she couldnt take it anymore, she went to the window and looked for a long time into the dark.

Lifting the lamp from the desk, she approached the door, her shadow stretching far into the far behind her. It was quiet outside. She couldnt hear anything, not even the footsteps of her ladies or the murmur of the knights. It seemed as if everyone had gone to sleep.

Suddenly she had a bad feeling, an instinctive fear. She wanted to go check, but when she turned the doorknob, it was locked. Her ladies locked her into her room every night to keep her from leaving. As she was standing before the door, she heard voices.

—Look for her.
