True Love
“As they had done many times in the past during Royce's absences, Captain William saw to the defenses while Catherine managed all domestic matters. The difference this time lay with the three noblemen who were being held in the dungeon, and with the presence of the three knights charged with conducting them to the king. Braedon, Cadwallon, and Desmond each took turns on duty in the anteroom outside the dungeon, keeping company with the men-at-arms sent there by Captain William.
“It's necessary,”... Braedon said to Catherine as they sat with Captain William in the great hall late on the day of Royce's departure. “All three of our prisoners are likely to be sentenced to death after King Henry hears the story we have to tell. And all of them know it. If I were in such straits I'd have no hesitation about attempting an escape. Better by far to be killed fighting to get free, than face a traitor's death.”
“Which raises the question of how they are to be transported to Gloucester,” Captain William said.MoreLess
