Knowing Rowena would be worried, Daimon joined her for dinner. It would give him a nice break from the pressures of the day's events.
"What happened?" she asked anxiously.
"Zhan was trampled by his horse. But he is okay now. He's just bruised and sore."
"I can only imagine." Said Rowena.
"And angry. Very very very angry."
Rowena chuckled at that, no doubt, very accurate statement. Daimon laughed as well.
"The Empire's greatest horseman, aside from the Crown Prince of course, fell off his own warhorse and was trampled?" She asked incredulously.
Daimon nodded. It seemed as though Rowena was suspicious of the circumstances surrounding Zhan's 'accident' as well. She was very astute. It was one of the qualities he most appreciated about her.
He sighed. He decided to be honest with her. Not only was he sure that she could handle it, but she seemed to have reached similar conclusions as himself as well.
