Princess Annie
“The party was escorted by hired soldiers mounted upon bay horses and wearing bright blue coats. Mr. Haslett rode in a fancy carriage with brass lamps and a monogram painted on its side. Behind this august vehicle were two smaller, less spectacular coaches.Annie stood beside Phaedra, while a throng of servants, grooms and others who made their homes within the keep’s far-flung walls strained and whispered behind them. Rafael watched the proceedings from the balcony outside his study, Edmund Barrett at his side. Lucian was nowhere to be seen.Annie held her breath, and knew Phaedra was doing the same, when the liveried driver stepped down from the box of the grand carriage, but he didn’t open the door right away. Instead, he walked around to the boot, brought out a set of steps and placed them carefully. Only then did the guest of honor descend.Relief flooded Annie as she assessed Mr. Haslett. He was of medium height, nicely built but not muscular, with a profusion of glossy brown hair.
