It was almost mid-day when the fruit harvest came to an end. Sienna was stretching her arms in the courtyard when the first royal arrived: Lenard. He was not the favorite member of the royal family around here. Not even in top three. The fuss people made when the queen, king and any other princess or prince arrived was not made.
Sienna narrowed her eyes. So they've finally sent someone to fetch the runaway princess, she thought. She turned to Mija. "Tell Lina to pack her things. She will be leaving with Lenard. I am sure the servants polishing the fruit will be very happy to hear this."
But Lenard shook his head and snapped his fingers. Two guards walked forward, dropping a heavy trunk at Sienna's feet. "Not at all. I've brought more luggage. The princess should stay here for a while. Things are....hot in the palace. The king does not want to see her face for a while."
