Rhys was not distracted by anything as he walked through the keep. He made it through the other side and marched the short distance across the soft grass to the Frasier camp. The place was filled with carts and wagons and a lively atmosphere. The air was heavy with the smell of ale, and despite these people not being allowed in the keep to stay, they had not stopped themselves from having a good time. There were songs in the distance and most people were in a good mood, although as he walked along he passed Black Pete, who was slumped against a wagon having drunk himself into a stupor.

Horses whinnied and he nodded to people as they greeted him. They were all eager for things to proceed, and he could tell that his father had informed them of his plan by the light in his eyes, and a few comments that hinted. More than a few people said that the wedding was going to be the beginning of a new era, and they all congratulated him on doing a good job at pretending to enjoy his time with the McCleareys, as though it was completely beyond their comprehension that he might actually be genuinely enjoying himself.

He found Shane and Sean sitting by themselves in a tent that had been erected to offer them shelter. They were throwing dice against a wooden crate and cheering. When they saw Rhys enter their faces lit up.

“There he is! How is it being at the beck and call of some McClearey lass?” Shane asked, and both brothers chuckled to themselves. Rhys wondered how many jokes had been said at his expense over the past couple of days.

“Actually she’s a bonny lass, high in spirits,” Rhys began, but he couldn’t continue as his brothers looked at each other and broke out in laughter again.

“Oh, dinnae tell me ye hae actually gone and fallen for her?!” Sean asked, slapping his thigh and shaking his head.

“And I thought we haed enough problems,” Shawn added.

“Dinnae ye worry about me, worry about yerselves. What hae ye been daeing?” Rhys asked.

“Ah, just waiting for the right moment,” Sean said, winking at Rhys. Rhys sat down with his brothers and picked up the dice to prevent them from playing while he was in their presence.

“I take it Da haes told ye about the plan then?” Rhys caressed the dice and felt them press hard against his palm.

“Aye, he came around and told us all, although we’re tae keep it quiet.” Shawn put his finger to his lips.

“I knew Da wouldnae hae signed a treaty like that unless he haed something else planned! It’s a real delight tae know that we are gaeing tae be a part of history, all of us, fighting alongside Da,” Sean said with pride.

Rhys sighed. “Ye think it’s a good plan then? Are ye nae worried that there is little glory tae be haed?”

“Dae ye nae agree with him?” Sean asked, looking shocked. Shawn looked suspicious. Rhys had to be careful as he didn’t want to test his brother’s loyalties.
