I'm not 100% sure of course, but I'm guessing about something further down that could really spoil things. No idea if I'm right, but in case you want to keep the option of surprises left open, skip my FDK while skimming.

Catherine raised an eyebrow. “Princess, if I’m going to be your lady-in-waiting, we have got to start working on your clothes. Fashion has to be your number one priority if you want to attract boys.”
“Boys?” asked Loisette in confusion.
Yes. Boys. As in *stable*boys. Does she really need a diagram? /hopes this will change once her hormones start to develop.
“Lady Catherine,” he said, catching the girl’s attention, “I think you should take Agides.”
Wonder how that's going to fly.
Gawain rolled his eyes. “Oh, whatever! We’ll do a different story next time.” He crossed his arms and began muttering something about sensitive stableboys.
But I do wonder what's up with the barbarians and... OMG!
They are fun together. I just hope that Alexander's mistress is Miranda and not Catherine. But given Alexander's possessiveness I doubt he and Catherine would last.
“Oh, all right!” Catherine exclaimed. “If you’re bored, then let’s do something. What do you want to do? Horseback riding? Archery? Go to court and look at all the handsome knights?”
Ooh, fun. Always a good idea to give Loisette a weapon.
After they found Aliss, she led them to an area outside the castle with several targets set up. A young man with brown hair and a stubble-covered face was standing with a bow in his hand. He swiftly nocked an arrow, drew back, and let it fly. The head of the arrow buried itself in the exact middle of the target. Reaching back into his quiver, the man pulled out another arrow, and seconds later an arrow was whizzing through the air again. It split the first arrow, going right down the middle of it. He turned to them with a smile; it was obvious he had known someone was watching.
So, Patrik's trying out for Robin Hood? /wonders how that will play out/
