Corwin saves her

"Of course she's my assistant!" Corwin exclaimed, stepping protectively towards Eva. "And we really must be going."

"Oh no!" John shouted. "It's nearly dark. I must insist that you stay the night in one of our guest rooms!" His eyes roamed up and down Eva's naked body.

"Thank you for your kind offer, sir," Corwin replied venomously, nearly spitting the last word. "But we really must decline." With that, he gathered his things and headed outside, Eva following close behind.

Corwin led Eva to a rustic wagon that was much simpler than the horse drawn carriages she was used to. The horse looked strong and well cared for though. Corwin threw his things inside and climbed up into the wagon. Eva waited for him to help her up, but he just stared at her. "Are you coming or are you just going to stand around naked in the street?" He shouted. Blushing, she clamored up after him.

"God, I hate nobles," Corwin mumbled. "Thinking they are so much better than the rest of us. If he didn't pay so much, I never would have performed at his party." Eva had no reply since she was one of the nobles.

"Thanks for getting me out of there," she said softly. "Now, since we are apparently partners, can you reverse the spell that you put on me?"

Corwin coughed in embarrassment. "I... don't know how," he admitted. "I'm sorry! I just got so mad when you slapped me that I cast the first spell that came to mind! I think it should wear off within a few days though."

Eva was about to retort in outrage, but held back her anger. So far it had only made things worse.

"Should I take you back to your manor?" Corwin asked after a long silence.

Her mother would be horrified at her state of undress - she couldn't go back until it was solved. "No, just take me to an inn or something," Eva replied.
