Rowan was already waiting at the top balcony where he could see the carriages rolling in, and beside him stood the royal attendant.
The treaty was the last thing on his mind. All he could think about was that he would finally see Rosalind again.
He waited patiently as the first carriage rolled to a stop, and with it, he found himself holding his breath and clenching his jaw in anticipation.
The carriage door was pulled open, and the first person to step out was the Crown Prince of Merovia, Marek, whom Rowan immediately recognised. Following after him was another man of considerable height, although Rowan could not see him properly because his back was turned.
What he could see clearly, however, was the man holding out his hand and Rosalind placing hers in it as he helped her descend.
