"I simply wished to escape the palace and have some time foracross to head into Ashland, I've been suggested to do the same but did not want to"

Rowena's heart pounded loudly in her chest as she heard his words

"Did you seek me out?"

"No, of course not" Prince Liam insisted "I simply saw someone who foolishly wanted to show off a Phoenix feather–well, I don't knohether you're lying or not, but others reedily plucked it for themselves and I wanted to stop you"
