The public thought of the act as abduction, that the princess was kidnapped on her own wedding day. At least that was what they assumed, that the cruel and malicious mage took their darling princess away.
No soul knew what they knew. Maybe one did, or two, or three, that it was untrue. Because she walked with her own two feet, flowers left behind.
The princess was eloping with the mage.
Athanasia/Lucas
