let it go

You figure you have created enough enemies for tonight. "Just go to bed Rachael.... We have a long day tomorrow."

"Sure, but you need to make smart choices if you hope to be king someday..." She snaps back.

"I don't think you need to be giving me advice..." you snarl at her.

With a hurt expression she says softly, "I only said it because I care about you..." Looking away as she walks to her room, making you regret your words.

You both wake up early and head down to the back gate. You are wielding a longsword and a bow, with a full backpack of gear. Rachael has a dagger. crossbow and a backpack of gear with some leather armor.

When you reach the back gate you notice Lord Richard's party is late.

Lord Richard says with a wave, "My prince, I'm deeply sorry we are late... we were waiting on Elizabeth and it appears she is too sick to come and see you."
