"As you wish." He smirked, kicking his heels into the stallion. It reared and galloped away.

Elise was tired. She had been trying her hardest not to lean on Cole so she could rest, but was starting to falter. Her eyes snapped open once more when she realized that, again, she was close to resting her head on his back. Her gaze looked up at his base (castle, home, wherever-) and she raised her eyebrows. "Not what I expected."

Cole smirked to himself. "Why?"
The castle was more of a fortress. The gate was tall and sharp, gleaming black and dangerous. It stood on a cliff overlooking a smooth golden-paved road leading into a clean, neat village.

She shrugged. "I just expected something more… rustic," she let out a short, harsh laugh. "Nothing like what I'm seeing right now."

He shrugged. "Well, I'm almost offended. Come, my lady," he said mockingly, sliding off his horse and holding his hand out for her.

Elise sighed again, slightly annoyed. She willingly took his hand and slid off the horse.

Cole grinned at her. Soldiers came to line up at his back, and he sauntered through the gates. He led them to the throne room, where he sat down, waiting for something, as it seemed.

Elise stood in front of him, not sure what he wanted. "Well? Have you decided?"

"Decided what to do with you?" He didn't even glance at her. "Of course." He gave a lazy wave of his hand. "Simon, take her to the Gold Room."
A gorgeous woman entered the room then, and Cole smiled. "Hey, Hana. You're late."
Hana scowled and flounced over to him. "Shut up, Coleton."

"Coleton, huh?" Elise piped up, feeling rather brave. "Interesting… Who's this, exactly?" Elise gestured towards the woman named Hana with a small smile. Although, a slight twinge of jealousy and betrayal was coursing through her mind.
