Chapter Fifteen

The old lady had another serving girl bring in the porridge. As the woman walked over to the window, Diana made her move, managing to reach into her pocket and remove the cover from her dagger. She hoped not to cut her leg, but she needed it ready.

“Well, the nobility are moving into the great hall. Wonderful. Randall and Clarice should be able to find their way here soon. I would like to go down to the festivities for a while.” She turned from the window to stare at Diana. “And I do not care to be here whence your lessons begin. They’ll have a time with you.” She shook her bent finger at her. “They should have heeded my words and chosen someone willing in exchange for the coin. But that Randall has some unique views. Perhaps it is best you are here so he can use you instead of my beautiful granddaughter.”

The door to the chamber swung open and Randall marched in. “Well, Ena, I see you have my pretty one.” He stood in front of her with his arms crossed over his chest. “My, my, I believe I am grateful I decided to wait until my wedding night to take you. It will make me feel like I have a true bride instead of the cold one I wed.”

Diana glared at him and he chuckled. “We will definitely have fun tonight. You will not be the only one screaming, so no one will heed your cries.” He spun on his heel and called in the guards. “Bring the woman to the room off my chamber within the next few moments. Be discreet and gag her if you must. Though with all the revelry in the hall and the courtyard, no one will pay her any mind.”

He walked over and tipped her head back to kiss her. Diana sealed her lips together, refusing to return the kiss until he bit her and she yelped. He chucked her under the chin and said, “If I need to have someone tie you to the bed, I will, you can count on that.” He grinned and sauntered out the door.

Diana spit on the floor after he left, glaring at the old crone who laughed in the corner, wondering how she could ever have been attracted to the vile lout. She had considered stabbing the man with her dagger, but she would have to use it on two people since the old bitch was still present. She would only have one chance, and she was not ready to gamble it yet. The guards were still outside the room. She thought her best opportunity would arise while she was being moved or when she was in the other chamber.

Where was Micheil?

Gwyneth gave Logan a fast kiss behind the castle.

Micheil said, “Plan in place. Are you solid with it, Gwyneth?”

“Aye, Molly and I will do our part, don’t you worry. We’ll be looking for you, either outside or inside.” Gwyneth, dressed in her
