Chapter Eight

Kaya was pacing her chambers. She could not believe Balderdevon’s words. She had tried throughout the meal to look at Grosh, but each time she tried, Balderdevon would say something to her and she would be forced by decorum to turn to him and attend to his words. She knew he was doing that on purpose, but she was constrained by the rules of nobility and knew she had to behave. It irked her so that she could not just shed her noble persona and join her lover as a peasant. She would prefer that life to one of a noble prisoner in a loveless marriage.

Balderdevon also paced his chambers. He was tired of this game. He was tired of using flowery words to try to convince all that he was smitten with his intended. True, she was lovely, and he would enjoy taking her body, but it was her lands, wealth, and standing that he was interested in. He was not sure how much longer he could keep up this charade. She was his, and he intended to take her soon. He knew she was no longer a virgin, and this annoyed him, but if he could just get her away from that monster and lock her up within his keep, he could overlook that fact. He didn’t care if he had to chain her in their bedroom, he would take her and show her who owned her.

Grosh was making preparations. When he returned to his borrowed estate, he came to a decision. He would leave so Kaya could marry Balderdevon and live her life as she should—as a noble. He thought about where to go. If he went to the shore, and asked to be taken to the island where his people were, he knew his brother would have him killed as a traitor, so that was not an option. Grosh decided there was only one place he could go. He would go back to the mountain and live in the caves there. It would be a lonely existence, but he wanted Kaya to have a good life—a life he knew he could not give her. He packed up what few belongings he had and wrote a note to Kaya. He did not say where he was going, just that he wanted to do right by her.

His guards were sleeping. They had come to trust him, so they were lax in their duties of watching him. He thought about taking a horse, but was afraid Jareth’s men would be able to track him if he did. In the dark of night he set out for the mountains. He wasn’t far from them when the first rays of the morning appeared and he found a fissure he could slip through. He knew these mountains well, and knew this passage would lead to the great hall that had been his brother’s throne room. Grosh went to his old bedroom instead. The door was still smashed from when Eton and his men had broken in, but Grosh could repair it.
