That night I waited for Radulf to return. I was not afraid anymore. He didn’t scare me. I would endure his punishments but I will no longer be afraid of him.

It got darker out and he should have been home by now. I was not worried. In fact, for my sins I hoped something had happened to him on the road home. Then I would be free, free to be with my true love, Constantine.

Sometime later after I fell into a doze at the hearth, he staggered in. I awoke suddenly as he gruffly called my name, “Aefre.”

“Yes, Radulf I am here,” I said, relighting the candles that have flickered out.

“Get the healer,” he ordered me as I stared at him. He was bloody and beaten and his arm was hanging at an odd angle. “Now, woman!” he yelled and pulling on my cloak I ran to the cottage of the healer. I didn’t feel bad for him. He deserved whatever came to him. He told a tale of a gang of men who surrounded him from the next town on the road home. It was a pity they didn’t finish him off I thought to myself but remained silent. Mercifully that night I was left alone as the healer had given him a sleeping herb that sent him straight to sleep. I slept soundly for the first night in a very long time.
