Princess Yrathea sat in an air carrier with Lord Rathal and group of her soldiers as they followed behind Lady Celaena' and Lord Hycis' air carrier.
She and Lord Rathal had come to the conclusion to go to the Steppes after arguing with Commander Druindar for two days.
When the five barrels of honey were placed in front of them that night, the temptation to say yes to whatever their guests wanted was on the tip of her tongue.
However, Druindar pulled her away before she could get the words out of her mouth in time.
Dragged back to the palace by her Commander, she and Lord Rathal couldn't stop picturing the barrels of honey from their minds.
Pushed inside her mother's bedroom, Yrathea was forced to looked at the older female as she laid as still as the dead in her bed while Commander Druindar shouted at her.
