“Lord Templetun is here.”

“What?” Hethe stopped his horse abruptly at the news from his squire as he rode into camp. “What does he want?”

“I do not know, my lord. He just said that he had come to collect you to take you back to Holden, to do something you had not finished.”

Hethe cursed at that, suspecting he knew what that “something” was. No doubt his wife had gone running to Templetun as soon as he himself had left Tiernay. Why was it that women could never keep their mouths shut? If she had just done that and waited for his return, they might have sorted things out without dragging Templetun and the king into it. But, nay, not her. She had to—

“Did you say back to Holden?” Hethe asked suddenly as the boy’s words fully sank in.

“Aye, my lord.”

He frowned. He had left his bride at Tiernay. Holden was closer, though. Perhaps Templetun had taken her there, then ridden on to collect him. Unless he was mistaken about what the man wanted. Mayhap he had forgotten to sign some papers or something. That thought raised his hopes somewhat.

A moan from the wounded man slouched in the saddle before him drew Hethe from his thoughts. He urged his horse forward again, riding to the center of camp before easing the unconscious knight from his saddle, then following him down. “Have someone tend to this man Edwin. I shall go see Lord Templetun.”

“Aye, my lord.”

Hethe started to lead his horse away, then paused to glance back at the squire now kneeling over the wounded soldier. “Where is he?”

“I showed him to your tent to rest until your return, my lord.”

“Good.” Turning away, he continued on toward his tent, handing his reins over to one of his men as he went.
