Striker accepted the envelope with a firm nod, securing it inside the inner pocket of his jacket.
As he met her gaze, a flicker of something deeper stirred within him. Was he doing this purely out of duty, or was there something more driving him? The thought unsettled him, but he pushed it aside for now.
"I will deliver this letter to Prince Stolas as quickly as possible. In the meantime, stay strong and hold onto that hope. We'll get through this together."
He took a deep breath, feeling the weight of responsibility mixed with an unfamiliar warmth.
"I'll leave at once. I'll be back before you know it. Until then, trust in the plan and keep yourself safe."
Striker gave her hand a gentle squeeze, lingering a moment longer than necessary. As he turned to leave the library, he couldn't shake the feeling that his motives were evolving. With one last determined glance at Phenix, he stepped out of the room, ready to embark on the mission that would hopefully bring an end to her suffering.

Striker reached the stables without hurry, carefully masking his urgency to avoid arousing suspicion. The cool morning air filled his lungs as he approached the stable, the scent of hay and horses calming his racing thoughts.
He found his second in command, Sergeant Thorne, tending to one of the horses.
"Thorne."
He called.
"I need you to oversee the palace while I'm away. I'll be delivering a letter to my mother at the post office in Pentagram City. Her telephone is broken, so this is the quickest way to ensure it reaches her."
Thorne looked up, his brow furrowing in concern.
"How long will you be gone, Captain?"
"Not long."
Striker reassured him, patting the neck of his horse as it was saddled.
"Just a quick trip there and back. I trust you to keep everything in order while I'm away."
Thorne nodded, accepting the responsibility without question.
"Understood, Captain. Safe travels."
With a final nod, Striker mounted his horse and set off at a measured pace. He had to maintain the appearance of a routine errand, but his heart was set on the urgent task ahead. The letter to Prince Stolas was safely tucked in his jacket, a lifeline for Lady Phenix. The captain knew he had to succeed, not just for duty's sake, but for her safety and his own growing sense of purpose.

I really like the main characters in this, Angela and Lee. At first I thought I wouldn't cause they seemed very stereotypical, but Lorraine made them very unique and interesting despite their first impression!

Striker walked beside the Marquess, carefully matching her pace. He listened as she sighed softly and spoke about the lack of allies and the constant surveillance she endured. His eyes remained forward, but his attention was fully on her words.
"Allies are more important than ever in such times, my Lady."
He replied, his tone respectful and sincere.
"And I assure you, no harm will come to anyone under my watch."
He could sense her need for reassurance and aimed to provide it without overstepping his bounds.
As they continued along the path, the beauty of the amaranth water lilies in bloom offered a serene backdrop to their conversation.
"The palace is quite...grand."
He remarked, glancing around.
"But I understand that it takes time for a place to feel like home. I find comfort in knowing there are spaces where you can be at ease, like this garden and the library."
When Lady Phenix mentioned their privacy in the garden, Striker felt a flicker of genuine concern.
"Thank you for your trust, madam."
He murmured softly.
"I can see you are constantly watched, and that is a heavy burden to bear. I promise to honor your trust and maintain our confidences."
