Bare over a month

From the departure of our lady

The prince took leave

Of his royal parents and rode south

-

Why has he gone?

Is he chasing our lady?

Is there love?

How far will they go?

-

Moons later

To our fair city

Comes a bright princess

She is of the copper isles

-

Our ladies brother

Is very powerful

Yet as a mage

He stands alone

-

It's all whispers

In the market place

What to believe?

What to tell on?

-

I danced

My brother played

And suddenly

He prince returned

-

We heard it all

The moment blue eyes met

They could not be parted

But what of our lady?

-

Her brother as a mage

Has had access to great knowledge

And holds great power

Who knows what will come of this

-

Did you hear?

I can believe it not

Duke Roger is rased from death!

Shocked gossip fills the square

-

The Peacekeeper on this thrown

Has made the Duke a Duke

I cannot see why

Save he hates scandal
