A Tempting Offer

"My lord, we have been looking for the lady for an hour. If she would have been here, we would have already found her.

The lady told sir Huston that her carriage was waiting for her at the entrance. She might have already left!" The knight did not understand why they were looking for her in the ruins and forests when she was not kidnapped.

Lady Elizabeth was not a kid that would be lost on her way to home. But when he faced the cold eyes of his master, he bowed his head immediately.

It looked like he could lose his tongue if he spoke another word. For a minute only the sound of hooves and neighing of horses could be heard in the dark forest.

The cold winds were already penetrating their attires and they were sure if they continued to roam soon the beasts would come out to look for them.
