It was perhaps an hour later when they returned. On leaving his men Wulfgar went in search of Anwyn. He found her in the hall, speaking to one of the servants. Hearing his approach, she looked round and he saw her smile. She dismissed the servant and came forwards to meet him.

‘Did you enjoy your ride, my lord?’

He returned the smile. ‘Not especially, but it was necessary or, believe me, I would not have gone.’

The implication brought a faint tinge of colour to her face. He thought it became her well.

‘I went to see Ingvar,’ he continued.

‘Then he knows now. I will not ask how he took it.’

‘Do you care?’

‘Only in so far as his anger may affect Drakensburgh,’ she replied.

‘It will not—now.’

Her eyes widened slightly. ‘Wulfgar, you did not—’

‘Kill him? No.’

She breathed a sigh of relief. He saw it.

‘Would you have cared if I had?’

‘Yes, but not for the reason you suppose.’ Her hand came to rest on his sleeve. ‘I would not have our marriage vows sealed in blood.’

His gaze met and held hers, but found only sincerity there. It warmed him, like the touch of her hand on his arm.

‘Then I am glad I resisted the temptation,’ he said.

‘So, what now, my lord?’

‘I will hear the men give their oaths of fealty.’ He smiled down at her. ‘After that I am at your disposal.’
