The Dragon of Trelian (2009)
“Presumably it was called the small gate because it was intended for the “smallfolk”; it was generally used by servants and couriers, as well as apprentices on errands. The gate itself was actually fairly large, in Calen’s opinion. Most of the nobility ignored it, if they even knew it existed. The fact that Meg wanted to meet here made him all the more curious about what her secret could be.
As he neared the gate, Calen scanned the crowd for the princess. She didn’t seem to have arrived yet, so ...he walked over to lean against a section of the outer wall. It gave him a good view of the main road from the castle proper, so he’d be sure to see her when she approached. In the meantime, he amused himself by watching other people. While it was true he hadn’t gotten to know anyone closely, there were plenty of people he knew by sight, some well enough to pass a few words with now and then. Some folk were always happy to share news and spread gossip, and Calen liked to hear tales of the world outside his own dreary existence.MoreLess
