A Gathering
He sinks into the water so only his face is visible. “I have something to ask you,” he says with a hint of trepidation in his voice.
Her heart starts to pound. “What is it?”
“I am getting older and King Leopold is already preparing to replace me with one of Sir Olaf’s men.” She sees him hesitate to make sure his words are sinking in. “I still want to travel but less and for a different reason. I have talked to my nephew and he has given me a section of farmland near the Dark Forest.” He stops talking and just stares at her.
“And?” she asks, encouraging him to continue.
“My nephew told me that he and Endellion are going to ride with Lara and the Circus for a while. He asked me to pass on a message to my relatives that war may be coming and that they needed to be prepared if the king calls them to arms. I was wondering if I could ride with you first.”
“Certainly,” she replies. “Is there anything in particular you wanted to discuss?”
“I would like to marry you,” he blurts out.
