The princess felt in her chair, but didn't let even a sigh to be heard. Her father stood proud beside her for a moment and then left. When he disappeared from her sight, the princess burst into tears. She thought for a moment that she had made the wrong decision, but when she saw the eyes of her lover, she knew she made the best decision and that any of them didn't want to be separated nor to escape from their star-crossed love, since they both knew that the princess would follow him to the paths of the dead that very night.
