Chapter 11

SUNIGHT filled the garden at Callemore Castle the morning after the wedding.

Queen Lise strolled arm in arm with her husband among the sweet-smelling rose bushes and apricot trees, laughing and reminiscing in delight about the celebration.

“Did you not think Gwynna’s gown lovely, William? Such a pale elegant gold, soft as a cloud. Did you see how it shimmered in the torchlight? And the jewelled collar—Antwa fashioned it herself, you know, from diamonds and moonstones, rubies and faeries’ gold.”

“I didn’t know. But Gwynna always looks charming. She is nearly, very nearly, as lovely as her sister,” William said, his eyes twinkling as Lise shot him a laughing look.

“You are so politic, my lord,” she praised him.

“I am so married, my queen,” he replied, and pulled her into his arms amidst the flower beds and unicorn statuary.

“After what Gwynna did for you—for us,” William continued in a more sober tone, “I wish her every happiness—forever. And I’ll do anything in my power to assure that she knows only happiness,” he went on quietly, tenderly stroking his wife’s face.

“Then perhaps you should be guarding the bridal door,” Lise suggested, her mouth quivering with laughter. “From the way Gwynna and Keir were gazing at each other last night, I am quite certain they’d be extremely happy if no one disturbed them in their chamber for a fortnight. But I’m certain the servants will insist on bringing at least a tray of food before the sun goes down today.”

William chuckled. “I remember our wedding night,” he said softly, nibbling her ear, and Lise grinned as she pulled him down on a bench beside her.

“I only hope Gwynna, who risked so much, fought so hard and saved us both, will be half as happy as you and I.”

William kissed her on the mouth, a loving, lingering kiss that made Lise’s heart swell with the joy of being alive.

“Based on what I’ve seen and heard between Gwynna and her Duke of Blackthorne, I don’t think you need worry about your sister ever again,” he murmured. “Keir adores her. Almost as much, my darling, beautiful Lise, as I adore you.”
