Juliette was shown to a lovely chamber down the hall from Devon. After they dined, Devon led her through the halls, her small hand poised upon his arm. Rory had chosen to eat in his own chamber. They walked into the large room where the hearth burnt brightly against the cold companionably and Juliette turned to stare up into his face. She noticed how truly remarkable his features were. His wavy blond locks glowed in the torchlight. Juliette had never gazed into such clear blue eyes. She was also impressed her pummeling of his nose had left no mark. Most assuredly, he must be very strong not to have been bruised by her vicious and deadly assault.

“I am sorry if I hurt you,” Juliette said in earnest. Suddenly she felt an overwhelming sense of embarrassment. Her emotions became confused.

“I am uninjured, fear not. Yet whether I am still able to sire offspring remains to be seen,” Devon replied with a smile.

“It would be a shame, my lord, if you proved unable. The earth would be deprived of such comely children,” Juliette said ducking her head.

“Fear not, my lady, I will endeavor to procreate,” Devon said and laughed as she blushed deeply.

“Of this I am certain,” Juliette replied.

Devon kissed her hand and bid her goodnight. He closed her door behind him whilst Mary aided her with her night clothes.

“’Tis you who sent word of my sister,” Juliette enquired of Mary.

“Aye, my lady. Please do not think harshly of me. My actions were noble if unfounded,” she replied with embarrassment. “I have come to care a great deal for your gentle sister. Actions transpired that led me to believe she was being ill-treated.”

“She was not,” Juliette said with conviction. She could not get Lord Broc’s agonized expression from her mind.

“Nay, my lady. Please forgive me. I only sought to protect her,” Mary replied, so terribly saddened Juliette had not the heart to be angry.

“’Tis not my forgiveness you needs must seek. Knowing my sister she would not begrudge a mistake made of caring,” Juliette said kindly.

Mary offered her a smile so filled with gratitude Juliette could not resist hugging the woman. She then left Juliette alone to seek her slumber.
