Keeper of the Stone
“Nathan seemed intent on exercising his husbandly rights at every opportunity. Surprisingly she had no objection to his intent but it left her with very little time to rest. She wondered why Nathan never seemed tired. She was certain she never saw him sneaking into the keep for an afternoon nap. Her lips curved at her foolish thoughts and she leaned tiredly against her husband’s side. He was engaged in conversation with the man at his left. On her right, the queen’s head was bent close to he...r husband’s at the head of the table. She was reluctant to ask her husband’s permission to be excused for the remainder of the evening. She had been enough of a bother to Nathan today. She thought she should concentrate on being a more pleasing wife to him. So she did her best to follow the conversations drifting around her, smiling politely if someone chanced to look in her direction, and edged a little closer to her husband’s warmth.Even with the fire roaring in the fireplace and all the overhead candles in the chandeliers hanging over the tables for light, there was still a chill to the air. The gown she was wearing was somewhat thin considering the approach of winter but she couldn’t fault the little dressmaker. No doubt deliveries to the city were interrupted during the course of the invasion.MoreLess
