“Then there’s no need to continue this discussion.”

Mathieu resumed his pacing, glancing toward the trees again, but he saw no sign of Aelia.

Osric scrambled ’round in front of Mathieu, obstructing his path. “I will promise! Norman, I said I promise not to hurt your men with my skill.”

“Your word, little Saxon. You stand by it as a man of honor?”

“Of course. Now show me.”

Mathieu borrowed Raoul’s seax again and handed it to Osric. “’Twould suit you better to keep your distance from any battle.”

“I am no coward, Fitz Autier!”

“While you are small, ’twould be a better strategy to stay clear of a hand-to-hand contest. Learn to use a bow.”

“I can already shoot,” Osric said as he lunged with his weapon.

Mathieu stepped away. “Do you see? ’Tis unlikely you would ever overcome a full-grown man at close quarters.”

“What if I come upon him in sleep?”

Mathieu laughed. “Then you would not need this instruction. You would only have to strike between the ribs.”

“Or across the throat…”

Mathieu thought of the thin slice across Aelia’s pretty neck that had come so close to taking her life. He shuddered at the thought of what would have happened had he not been there to protect her. “Aye.”

“I want to be ready in case we are attacked.”

“We travel with eight seasoned warriors and a Saxon cavalier, boy,” Mathieu said, looking to the trees again. “You’ll have no need to fight.”

“But I—”

“Stay here.”
