Rescuing Thine Injured Princess

-13:30
Thou noticest that the princess hath left for the grove in the nearby forest, without the protection of her guard. When thou reachest her, thou findest that she is in combat with a wild wolf, and with thine aid, the two of you drive it off. At thine insistence, she alloweth thee to attend to her wounds, and she revealeth that she hath noticed thine affections for her, though this revelation cometh with a confession of her own.

Thou wert surprised when the princess told thee that she had not only noticed thy affections for her—thou wert never as subtle as thou hadst imagined—but returned them in equal measure, despite the difference in rank and despite the kingdom's opinions regarding courtship betwixt two women. The princess wisheth that thou shouldst become her permanent personal guard, a position which should likewise provide you with more privacy and time together. She thinketh it all but guaranteed that her petition shall be accepted by her parents, but the king and queen wish to speak to thee ere they make their decision. Despite thyself, thou canst not settle thy nerves regarding this summons, and thou goest to visit her, hoping that she might bring thee some consolation.
