Our hurried footsteps echoed across the wide corridor. Wind rushed through the tall windows lining the walls, stirring the curtains. After a two-minute walk, we reached the door to the castle’s master bedroom. Two soldiers stood guard. They saluted and stepped aside as we approached.

Even on her knees, she was taller than Pamela.
