A Laird for Christmas
“It seemed an eternity, yet she knew it was not. However, today was not a day for another competition as other things required her attention. Today she needed to tend to the castle.
She had arranged for the men to spend the morning practicing their sword play. On the walk back to the castle last night, she could feel their restlessness. Perhaps a day of battling each other without her as the prize would help calm their nerves.
Jane gathered her cloak around her shoulders as she walked through th...e chill morning air. Her routine each morning was to check on the welfare of her castle. Today, however, she wondered how the serfs were fairing in the winter season. Without them, the castle would have no income. She would deliver gifts of food and coin to each family on St. Stephen’s Day, but she had best start her preparations for that event soon.
