To Flee or Not to Flee




Prince Rowan had a hard decision to make. Should he flee, allowing Ulric the Fierce to ravage the castle? Or should he stay and witness the slow starvation of his people in a siege?
         He knelt before his mother. “Tell me what I should do.”
        “Go now.”
        “I’m no coward.”
        “You’re not stupid, either. “
        Rowan kissed her hand. “How can I leave you?”
        “Ulric wouldn’t dare harm me.”
        “He’ll take you prisoner. “
        “I’m imprisoned now. Almost blind. I can hardly walk.” She gave him the ruby ring from her finger. “God keep you safe, till we meet again.”
