Ironically, he was also standing in front of him a few minutes later, along with Kenneth Sutherland, the newest member of the Guard, Ewen Lamont, Eoin MacLean, Arthur Campbell, and Gregor MacGregor. The six members of the Highland Guard had arrived with Douglas from Dundee. Douglas was one of the handful of the king’s closest advisors who knew of the secret band of warriors—and their identities.

Right away Robbie knew two things: Bruce had a mission for them, and it must be an important one if it required nearly all of his elite Guard. Only Tor MacLeod, Erik MacSorley, and Lachlan MacRuairi were absent.

They stood on the edge of camp in the clearing that they used for practice, where Robbie had greeted them when he’d been informed by the scouts around camp of their arrival.

“What’s the occasion?” MacKay said with an eye to Robbie’s jaw, exchanging grasps of the forearm by way of greeting. “I can’t remember the last time I saw you clean-shaven.”

Robbie swore inwardly, cursing the impulse that would give his brethren even a whiff of a scent to follow. They were tenacious curs, every last one of them. If they connected his shaving with Rosalin’s presence, he would never hear the end of it.

“It was at your wedding, Saint,” MacGregor offered helpfully.

Robbie shot him a glare. “The only reason you know that was because you’re still angry about the lass. I know it’s hard for you to believe, but not all women prefer a pretty face.”

Even after seven years, MacGregor hated being reminded of his dubious distinction of being known as the most handsome man in Scotland. For a warrior as skilled with a bow as he was, it was particularly galling to be known for something so embarrassingly un-warriorly.
