TCES - The Emissary's Absence

The Emissary's Absence

The Princess was so amused by this idea she burst out laughing, something I realised then I'd rarely seen. 'He claims to have delicate joints that prevent him from riding, but I think he's afraid of horses. Oh, here, before I forget. You'll need some of these to give to the stable girl when we get back.'
