"I am sure that you have enough knights to protect you, my lady." he placed the sword back on the table and then sat on the chair.
She followed him silently looking at his actions. For some reason, he felt stiff and closed.
"I thought you would be taking a rest today." she smiled when he just nodded. The moment turned awkward.
"I will be leaving for my palace after breakfast." he nodded again stiffly when she held her dress tightly, "i will be waiting for your letter to know when you will be available to go to market with me." she pressed. Though she had to leave in a while, she did not want to let go of all her hard work when Madeline was already there.
"You did not need to be so worried, my lady. I am sure my father already accepted you as the duchess." he informed when her lips pressed further and she stared deep into him.
