Meine Brust hatte sich schmerzhaft zusammengezogen, mein Atem hatte gestockt. Ich spürte, wie alles in mir versuchte, von ihm weg zu kommen. Es gab nur ein einziges Problem: Ich wusste nicht warum. Seine nachtschwarzen Augen hafteten an meinen und wagten es nicht für einen Moment, sich abzuwenden. Alles um mich herum schien still geworden zu sein. Alles schien mir diesen Augenblick zu schenken. Den Augenblick vom Anfang des Endes.'' Ein Verurteilter und die Tochter des Königs - Er war ihr Ende. Doch sie war sein Anfang. (Die Rechte an den Bildern liegen nicht bei mir.)
