PRINCE EMERIEL

Emeriel carefully wiped the stained glass with a washcloth. He had been assigned to clean the fourth layer of the southern. wing this morning and had been at it for the past hour. Last night, Emeriel had dreamed of the king's beast. It was strange.

He had never seen the beast before, yet somehow, for reasons he could not explain, it occupied his thoughts. To the point of entering his dreams.

Emeriel struggled to believe that the calm, patient voice he was hearing belonged to Grand Lord Vladya. This side of him was entirely new-one Emeriel had never thought existed. Who is that woman?

Just then, the pair came into view.

Emeriel pretended to focus on his cleaning, though he could feel their eyes on him. Casually, he lifted his head and bowed. silently in acknowledgment before resuming his work. "Who is that slave? I have not seen that face before," the woman said, her footsteps echoing as she moved toward Emeriel "Who are you?"
