The Heart She Could Not Claim - Episode 9

At a courtyard dispute Eloise is blamed for breaking Cam’s zither. Prince Hayden intervenes, declares Eloise has no family and vows to protect her, then offers to buy a replacement and take her to the Light Festival. Craftsmen say the zither is beyond repair. Later a servant says Hayden cannot accompany her, but Hayden appears and reveals he’ll leave for Bellaros in three days and wants one last look at Feston. They walk the markets and Hayden promises next year's visit—Eloise snaps back, "I won't be in Feston by then." Someone calls, "Eloise, where are you going?"
