"Hello gorgeous"

You look up into the grinning face of your lover, Lady Rhea Royce as she sits astride her horse, a deer slung across her back

"Need a ride?"

Rhea does not care for being seen out here, the vale is discreet and none would say anything, their loyalty to their lady trumps their loyalty to the prince. As she hoists you onto the bare back of the horse in front of her she wraps her arms around your waist, offering a small kiss to your cheek. "I missed you"

Riding into the courtyard, Rhea helps you down from her horse and slings the dead deer at a servant with a smile and instructions to have it prepared for dinner. tucking you into her arm as she regales you with stories of her hunt, she pushes open the door to her chambers and strips off her leathers, slipping into a bronze tub
