Chapter 56: Chapter 56

She rode on the outskirts until the night came when the knights set up camp. She slowly walked the horse over to the camp. One knight noticed but all he did was tell her to get off the horse and help them set up camp. She slowly slid down the horse feeling the weight of the armor drag her down. She helped him set up the tent he was putting up and then moved back to her horse. She took the saddle off of Winter and laid it on the ground.

Rose had not thought far enough ahead to grab anything to pitch a tent with. She laid her head on the saddle and went to sleep. She did not sleep well as she had not wanted to oversleep and have one of the knights discover who she was. In the early morning light, she got up and resaddled Winter. The knights stirred and soon they were all making breakfast. She went and got hers but said nothing and kept her head slightly ducked as the cook gave her the food. He looked at her oddly but said nothing.
