Always (2000)
“What the hell did you do to my baby?”
Aric paused, drawing Rosamunde to a halt as the king suddenly blocked their path out of the room. He wasn’t at all surprised by the man’s ferocious scowl. He was a bit startled, however, when his young bride suddenly stepped in front of him protectively.
“Nothing, Papa,” she said, then she flushed and stammered, “W-well, I mean, h-he d-did—” Turning suddenly, she grabbed the linen from Aric and shoved it at her father, saying, “He did what he was supposed t...o do.”
King Henry’s frown faded somewhat, and his face colored with slight embarrassment as the linen fell open, revealing the small stains. “Aye, well…Of course he did.” Nodding, he handed the linen over to Bishop Shrewsbury. “There’s the proof. There will be no annulment. The boy did it. For king and country, eh, lad?” he joked lamely, then cleared his throat. He took Rosamunde’s arm and started abruptly up the hall, dragging her along with him and leaving the others to follow again.MoreLess
