Summary: The knight comes to rescue the princess from her tower prison, but frankly he's not just got the wrong end of the stick, he's got the wrong stick altogether.

( The grappling hook clattered its way through the window and scraped back across the floor until it caught on the ledge. Sir Alba, both hands resting on his hips, stared up along the length of knotted rope that led to the lone window at the top of the tower and smirked. This was going even better than expected. All he needed now was to scale the stonework, rescue the princess and he’d be the richest man in the kingdom. )

( Despite being attached to the royal palace and main barracks, the three practice arenas Milos had seen with Alex were all quite small, the covered racks of training weapons nicked and blunt—although not blunt enough that he’d been able to avoid a few scrapes and cuts—and the ground surface was dusty and dry. )
