The Guardian (1998)
“She had thought to entrap the woman, to force her into swearing an oath of fealty that would grant Ellyn undisputed dominance, effectively render Shara her vassal. Then she might, once she’d learned to use her talent, order Shara to some distant part of Chaldor whilst she kept Gailard with her. She had seen how startled he was when she appeared at his door in her gown, and was confident that he found her attractive. Her hair was growing out from its unflattering, boyish cut, and even was she no...t yet a fully fleshed woman, still her body filled. Soon she would be a woman, and she was surprised by her own feelings—she thought that Shara’s presence had likely stimulated her to recognize what she felt for Gailard and had long denied. But he, bound by his oath, must stay with her as she grew, and she believed she could make him love her—so long as Shara was not present to distract him.
But Shara only shook her head and said, gently, “I took oaths as a Vachyn that I’ve reneged. I made myself a promise then—that I’d never again swear fealty to anyone, but make my own choices whom I’d support, and that whosoever that might be must prove himself or herself worthy.”MoreLess
