The falconer nodded. In her head, she knew there was a possibility this could end horribly, but her curiosity got the best of her. Besides, the prince seemed trustworthy enough. "How would you sneak me in though? There're guards everywhere."

"You can dress up like a servant. I'm due to get a new personal servant soon, anyway."

"Oh, alright." Eliza was sure that this would mean wearing a dress, which was the last thing she wanted to do. But if it meant getting a chance to see the inside of the castle, then she supposed she could deal with it for a while.

"A boy's outfit will probably be more comfortable to move around in. There's some extra ones by the stables."

"Oh, thank you, your Highness!" Eliza said, relieved. "I'll go change now, then. Will I meet you back here?"

"Yes. I'll be waiting around somewhere else so as not to look suspicious."

Eliza nodded and walked away to the stables. There, she found an extra set of clothes, just like Alain had said. She changed quickly, hiding her clothes under some straw. "Sorry, Arthur," she whispered to her falcon. "You can't come." Eliza sent him back to her house and headed back to the outer wall of the castle once she was sure Arthur had gotten back safely.

Alain was grooming his horse in the courtyard, paying close attention to making even strokes in her grey mottled hair.

Eliza walked up behind him. "Your Highness," she said, bowing.

He put his arms around her neck, nodding happily. "Yeah. She's the only one that's all mine."

"Sounds nice," she commented. "I never grew up around horses."

"They're really lovely to ride," he murmured as a few stable boys guided Elaine away. "Maybe I could show you how sometime."

"I would like that, your Majesty," she replied, allowing herself a small smile.

He grinned as they walked inside, the guards recognizing Eliza's outfit as that of a servant. Once they were out of earshot and inside the castle, he turned around, standing before the giant entry hall. Huge, stained glass windows near the roof reflected color along the cold stone floors. Beautifully woven rugs and tapestries adorned it along with sculptures, paintings, and mosaics of gold. "Welcome to Tintagel Castle."

"It's amazing..." Eliza mumbled, gazing around. "But it seems...almost cold."

"Cold," he repeated, tracing the top of his finger along a stone in the wall. "That's a good way to put it. As luxurious as it looks, it's uncomfortable... and kind of empty."

"I can see that... Surely not all the rooms are like this, are they?"

"It really depends on who's living in them. Some of the rooms are like this. My father's certainly is. But some of the ladies' rooms are uncomfortable in a different way-- stuffy and overbearing in decor."
