CHAPTER 10

The Hard Part

“This thing is finally over” Dawn said as she walked into Dax’s tent.

“What do you mean over, my sword saw an awful lot of Saul just yesterday” Dax replied. “And what are you doing in my tent, I could have been naked in here.”

“I have seen one before” Dawn replied. “And I am not talking about this war, I am talking about the fight for the crown. Prince Jason has abdicated and is allowed to take his family into exile, probably the same island the rest fled to.”

“Wow that is news” Dax replied. “How do you know they fled to an island?”

“Because Duke Bartlett owns the island and promised safe passage” Dawn replied. “Right now they are nothing more than commoners who are getting by thanks to the Duke’s generosity. Their children though now have to learn a trade, The Duke is only taking care of King Jason’s immediate family, not his grandchildren. They will get enough food and a very small house like what a commoner would get but no servants. I wish I were there to see them have to cook their own food.”

“I cook my own food” Dax replied.

“Not anymore” Dawn replied. “When I become a Baronetess, I think I want an army of chefs at my command.”

“About that” Dax replied. “I don’t know if we would work out.”

“Don’t you start” Dawn replied. “You get more money than you have ever seen and a woman at home that will not take any other lovers. I even said you can adopt some commoner unless you want me to become pregnant but your status as a wizard is well known and no one would believe you were the father anyway.”

“I will throw your shitty friends right out of my house” Dax began.

“Do so” Dawn replied.

“And I don’t want to be expected to go to any social engagements” Dax finished.

“I won't invite you to even one” Dawn replied.

“How do you know about the war being over?” Dax asked.

“Royal messengers came bearing the news” Dawn replied. “The royal army is on their way here along with some of Duke Bartlett’s and my grandfather’s men. We have done better than could be expected by holding off a much larger force despite the four mages they have.”

“Does this mean the enemy will not keep adding to their supply of magic users?” Dax asked. “First it was two and yesterday it was four, but I think a clipped one of them pretty good yesterday.”

“Hopefully they will not be resupplied” Dawn replied. “Those mages have began to hunt for you, you were lucky you spotted him before he could do some damage.”

“The fool kept casting spells trying to clear the area” Dax replied shaking his head. “He never saw me coming, once I got his amulet off him he was an easy target.”

“You got his amulet?” Dawn said surprised. “Let me see it” Dawn said as she started looking around.

“What has your small clothes in a bunch” Dax asked as he reached into his shirt and took off the amulet.
