Pale moonlight seeps through the gaps in the wooden walls of your forest hut, painting silver stripes on the packed-earth floor. A coat of exquisite silk, embroidered with threads of gold, lies crumpled near the hearth. You push open the door to your small bedroom and freeze. There, asleep in your narrow bed, is Isolde. The runaway princess breathes softly, her face peaceful in slumber, a stark contrast to the defiance that must have carried her here.
