Something strange seems to be going on here. If your father is so indebted to this mage, then why didn't he mention it before? Not to mention that there's very little information about him.

"He sounds like a dubious person," you say. They've prepared a carriage. You have a bad feeling about all this, however, and no patience to wait until that slow carriage gets there. "I'd rather ride the horse". Since the servants are on foot and would still slow you down you order "We'll be much faster if we take only the guards on horseback, tell the servants they can stay here". They start to complain that you'll need servants to look after your needs but you cut them off "I can take care of myself for a few days, and I'm sure Lord Ruairi can spare a few servants to look after me when we arrive on his lands".

You take off without paying them any further attention, followed by your guards. Duran rides up next to you. "I thought you were staying," you say finally.

He shakes his head. "We're only supposed to escort you to the inn at the nearest village, Lord Ruairi's men are supposed to take over from there". He smirks "We feel we can't just leave our cute little princess alone, so if you'll have us, all of the guards volunteered to remain in your service."

Ignoring the 'cute little princess' comment, you ask "Us? You're willing to stay at my side as well?".

"I'm one of the guards, aren't I?" he says lightly.

"But- you've been in father's service for over 20 years and are a personal friend of his. Will he even be able to get by without you?"

He throws back his head and laughs. "You aren't getting rid of me that easily, lass! Yer father is a capable king, picked 'im as my lord fer a reason. 'Sides, someone's gotta keep you in line."

You roll your eyes. It occurs to you that perhaps you could learn one more thing about this mysterious Lord.

"Well, if this ride's supposed to take until sunset, at least you could tell me about this place we're going to."
