Ryen sat in a small alcove near a window. She stared down at the sword she held in her lap. The mirrored metal reflected her image. Her long hair hung over her shoulders, dark tendrils reaching for the blade and curling lovingly around it.

I cannot imagine never holding you again, she thought. Never wearing my armor. Never feeling that thrill of riding into a battle.

The cold metal sat in her hands, strangely calming in its hypnotic power. Suddenly, shouts from the courtyard below reached her ears and she lifted her head to gaze out the window. Below, she could see her army preparing to leave for Rouen. She scanned the rows of men until she came to the head, near the doors of the castle.

With the help of his squire, Lucien was mounting his warhorse.

A movement near the doors of the castle caught her attention. Her father was descending the stairs, his chest puffed out proudly.

Why is he so proud of Lucien? she wondered. Why does he bid farewell to my brother with a smile when all he had for me was a scowl?

Slowly, as her father stopped at Lucien’s side, she rose to her feet.

Why is there admiration when he stares at Lucien? Ryen demanded silently. When for me there is nothing but disapproval?

Jean Claude spoke to Lucien. Ryen could not hear his words, but she saw Lucien’s return smile.

Her hand tightened into a fist around the handle of her sword.

I will have the answers, she vowed.
