Centuries ago,
Princess Tema had come to the Fifth Prince’s quarters because she wanted to see Falkur. He was the only one who at least tried to pay her mind.
Her brother just wanted her to take care of her skin and appearance as regards the wedding and wouldn't spare a second to be with her.
Maybe it was because he was trying to avoid questions regarding their sister. Her betrothed was not even involved in the options as he preferred going to the mountains rather than trying to know about his wife-to-be.
It was early in the morning and a few moments before Kamaz and the others went to interrogate the prisoners. No guard was standing before Falkur's room and there was no one to deny her entry.
She had gradually snuck in and was grateful to find Falkur on his bed. He was without an upper apparel and was swathed in linen from his upper abdomen down to his waist. The lower part of his body was covered in a quilt to provide some warmth.
