A few hours later, he and Ernaut rode back to Thax-

ted, where he arrived to cheers. His men seemed in

good shape, those injured already cared for, his dead

being buried first and repairs underway to the wooden

structures that had been burned in the attack.

As he walked through the keep, around the yard and

other buildings, he felt a sense of gratitude that they’d

been able to save so many and so much.

He slept that night only because he was exhausted,

but he did not like it. Even in the worst of times, he

liked having Gillian in his arms.

So, if he was in a hurry the next day to claim her back

from her mother and the convent, it was understandable

to any sane person. Brice rode past Giles and Soren,

waving off their invitation, and made it to the convent

in the shortest amount of time possible.

Part of him worried that she would want to stay with

her mother now that she’d found her. To make up for the

lost years. Part of him wondered if she would truly be

happier there, for that had been her destination when

he captured her. And part of him just worried.

So when he opened the door into the Reverend Moth-

er’s public chamber and she ran into his arms, he let out

the breath he did not know he held in. The Reverend

Mother was there and did not look very happy, though

Lady Aeldra smiled at him.
