Chapter Eighteen

“Thank you but not going to happen. I won’t be rubbing elbows with the novice Paladins.”

Savannah nodded not the least bit surprised. “I wanted to tell you that you were right. I’ve been ordered not to volunteer in Armory.”

“I understand,” Blade said turning away.

“Wait,” Savannah said. “We’re friends aren’t we, Blade?”

Blade made a noise in his throat. Savannah didn’t know if that was a yes or no, so she hoped for the best and hopped in anyway. “I was wondering if you could make a lock for my door?”

“Locks aren’t allowed on bride rooms.”

“What?”

Blade sighed looking down at the goblet in his hand. “It’s a repopulating block. At least that’s what they said when they made the rule.”

“This is insanity. My body is not a baby making factory-”

“I will make your lock,” Blade said. He smiled to himself as he walked away. Savannah watched him go wondering what had him in the Armory. She could detect no disability, injury or slowness about him.

Someone approached she assumed was Marek until they spoke. “Savannah? You’re not eating in the Humanity Kitchen?” Virginia asked looking Savannah over with one lowered brow. “Did you order that dress? It’s lovely but must have cost more than three thousand coin.” She touched the dress. “Silk chiffon? This is much too extravagant.”

“I didn’t order the dress,” Savannah said.

“Ah, Klaas must be coming around.” She smiled nodding with approval.

A cold chill ran down Savannah’s back as she considered how the dress had found its way into her closet.

Klaas wouldn’t have purchased the dress would he? Would Marek? It’s obviously not Virginia.

“Where is Klaas? Surely he’d want to see you in such a gown.”

Savannah considered telling Virginia to call him herself to find out but she had promised Klaas to pretend she was happily married.

“He is working.”

Virginia’s smile fell. “Is that what he told you? Klaas is the son of the Head Paladin. He makes his own hours. You’re not wooing him enough.”

“What is it you want me to do Virginia? Rip off his clothes?”

“If that’s what it takes. We have to have an heir.”

Savannah shook her head with brows drawn forward. “You have Klaas. There is time for another heir.”

“Look, I’ve seen how you look at your personal guard. You’re distracted from what a proper wife should be doing.”

“What happens if I don’t get pregnant? Does the world end, Virginia? You know maybe Klaas can’t perform with me because of all the pressure.”

Virginia smiled at the young man who passed by as she caught Savannah’s arm in her firm grasp. “Paladin soldiers don’t have trouble performing. My son could populate Humanity with how often he visits the brothel. The failure under pressure is yours.”

“How about this, you give me two weeks. If in two weeks I haven’t managed to meet your approval, you can send me back to Humanity in shame.”

“You must realize how lucky you are to be here. Do you know how surprised I was to hear my son picked a woman so mature? Quite literally you have beaten the odds.
