‘My lord. My lady,’ he said with a nod of his head. ‘The day is full upon us and there is much to be done. Have you completed your parley or do you need more time to come to arrangements?’

‘Brice! Be gone from here. The lady and I are not yet finished,’ Giles called out to his friend.

‘The sun has broken through the clouds, my lord. Make haste for there is much to be done.’ The other knight closed the door and called out to someone else in the yard, his voice carrying through the closed door.

‘My lord, I should go,’ she said, standing before him.

‘Wait but for one more moment, lady.’

Fayth faced him now. There was something more to be said between them. He gambled by taking her hands in his as he spoke.

‘On the matter of your father’s death, I know only that I served Duke William from my place in his left flank, where all the Bretons fought under the command of my uncle, Alain Fergant of Brittany. There is no way to know where your father fought or if we engaged each other during the battles that day.’

He tugged her closer, letting go of her hands to reach up and shift the drooping circlet that held her veil in place. She’d not even realised it had fallen to one side until he righted it.

‘If you would hate me, hate me for things I do and not for those I cannot answer for.’

She did not meet his gaze then; instead she stared at the proof of her father’s death, dangling there around his neck, in view of one and all.
