“Little chick. Wake up.”

Kassia straightened, looking around her as she shook the dregs of sleep from her mind.

“Wolffeton lies just beyond the next rise. I can take you no farther.” He laughed softly. “I have no wish to face your husband. I fear he would peel off my hide.”

He pulled his destrier to a halt and nimbly jumped to the ground, Kassia held firmly in his arms. He set her down gently.

There were so many questions in her eyes that he began to shake his head in answer. “Listen to me, Kassia,” he said, lightly stroking his hands over her arms. “You will take care when you return to Wolffeton. Do you understand me?”

He knew that she did not. He ground his teeth, but self-interest kept him quiet.

I will try to do as you say, Edmund,” she said, her head cocked to one side, her great eyes wide upon his face.

“Go now, little chick.” He leaned down and lightly kissed her mouth, then quickly released her. “Ned, bring her mare!”

He tossed her onto Bluebell’s back. “Remember what I told you,” he said, then thwacked the mare’s rump.

He stood quietly, watching her ride toward Wolffeton.

“My lord,” Ned said, coming up to stand beside him.

“Aye?”

“The lass rides into hell, methinks. Ye did not tell her of the woman’s plot.”

“No, I did not.” Dienwald turned and grinned rakishly at his man. “As I told the wench, Ned, I have no wish to have Lord Graelam after my hide! If she knew who I was, the chances are that sooner or later her husband would find out, and not be content until he had me roasting in hell’s fires!”

“But that other lady. She knows ye, my lord.”

“Aye, but to harm me, my friend, she would be doing herself in. And I have the feeling that Lady Blanche cares as much about her pretty hide as I do about mine.”

Ned spat onto the rocky ground.
