Escape
Prince Milnor had prepared everything for Zairah's escape and the weather that night in July was perfect for his plan. The fog was so thick that he could barely see a few metres. He rushed to Zairah's chamber and carefully woke her up.
"It's now or never. Here, put this on and no one will recognize you." he whispered exitedly, handing her a bundle of clothes, clothes of an urtheonian guard. Milnor turned around while she got dressed, and then they left for the gate.
"It's time for a change of guard soon, and I'm on the next watch. The clothes belong to Antheos, and my collegue is snoring away in some closet." Milnor said. They went up to the gate to replace the two prior guards, who turned and left and payed no attention to them. As soon as they had left, Milnor slipped into a small room inside the gatehouse and returned moments later to hand Zairah a few things.
"Here's some food and some less conspicuous clothes. Cross the bridge, there's a horse waiting for you on shore. Just ride south as fast as you can. Get to the mountains and you're in Eleonis. The road will get you straight to Angeleor. And I have something else for you." he continued, then he disappeared again for a moment and returned with a bow and a quiver full of arrows. Her bow and her quiver, only the arrows weren't hers. She looked at him in wonder.
"Our bows and quivers look different." Milnor explained, "And now get out of here before anyone notices anything."
"Thank you, your Highness." Zairah said.
"It's Milnor." Milnor corrected.
"Thank you, Milnor." Zairah said and gave him a reluctant hug, before she disappeared into the fog. Shortly after, Milnor heard the muffled sound of galopping hooves.
"Good Luck." he said quietly.
