Uneasy about the turn of events, I thought it best to check on my charge. I stepped into the nursing chamber to find the wetnurse sobbing uncontrollably and it took quite some time to find out what happened to the child. After much coaxing, Maida was finally able to choke out an explanation.

"Devil ... thing..., .. oh majesty., .. giant she-dragon.., come slinkin' in here breathin' fire, demandin' I hand him over. I had no choice... twould have burnt me alive!!!" She broke down again.

"Stop blubbering, woman!" I snapped.

Turning on my heel, I stalked away and pondered the events of the day "Why would Tanzara leave the child in my care and then take him back so soon?" confused, I shook my head.

I looked up just as I left the nursery, and was startled by the presence of a handsome gentleman in the corridor, carrying a small bundle. I questioned "Are you in need of assistance, Sire?" wondering briefly how he came to be in this wing without escort.

He answered with a voice that sent chills down my backside "Your majesty, I believe I return to you what was wrongfully taken", pulling back the corner of the wrap, he revealed the small child.

Quite confused, I asked "Where did ye find him?".

During my travels I stopped to rest and came upon what looked to be a recently abandoned dragon's lair, but I could hear the cries of a child from within. The dragon lay dead and the child nearby, unharmed. Twas difficult to determine what might have happened, but I recognized the royal emblem on the child's wraps, and brought him here straight away.

I took the child from him, "Tanzara, dead? How fortunate!" I thought smiling. I returned the child to the wetnurse, still shaken, but able to take charge of him once again. I called to my footman and ordered, "bring two more guards and see to it the child is watched, day and night!"

"I must keep a closer watch, lest I lose my chance to bargain with the dark world." I thought as I turned my attention back to the mysterious gentleman. Intrigued by his dark handsome looks, "I owe you a great debt, Sire, allow me to offer you accommodations during your stay".

He took my hand and bowed deeply "you are much too kind, your majesty, I am at your service" still holding my hand he brought his eyes up to meet mine and it seemed I would get lost in the liquid stare, as our gazes locked, I was breathless, unable to move. His touch was like fire!

I turned my head slightly and gathered my wits "You will join me, er.. us for dinner this evening to discuss your reward for the return of my charge." I ordered delicately, not giving opportunity for him to decline the offer. Having much more interesting things in mind than dining.

to be continued...
