Reunion (3)

As soon as Marlena returned to her chambers, she found a dark green dress to wear and took off all her jewelry. This way, it would be easier to move around and evade the guards as soon as the chance presented itself.

She groaned when she remembered another prickly matter. They were meeting in the cave they had met at a few times before, which was in Itrusian territory. The guards would certainly not allow it. The best choice was indeed to escape their sight as soon as possible.
