Nyle watched Ruby walking away with his sister and the old handmaid and just shook his head.

“She seemed to be trying,” said Locke, coming to his side.

“She wasn’t trying hard enough,” he said. “If so, mayhap she would have remembered the boy’s name.”

“Do you think this is going to work, my lord? I mean the ruse of her being a mother and all?”

“Not in the least. And now besides having to teach her how to act like a lady, I will have to teach her how to tend to a child as well.” Nyle ran a weary hand through his hair.

“You have a real challenge, my lord, if I may point out.”

“You don’t need to remind me,” he said. “I only wish I knew what to do to make her more receptive.”

“To you, or the baby?” he asked.

“Both,” Nyle answered. “Keep an eye on her, will you? I am worried about what may transpire.”

“But I need to keep an eye on the falconer’s apprentice,” he told him. “I’ve only got two eyes, my lord.”

“Then an eye on each of them will be beneficial, now go.”

“Aye, my lord.”

Locke took off at a run after them, and Nyle headed toward the barracks of the garrison. He needed to tend to the knights and their training and also the many other duties required of him in trying to run and maintain such a large household. He was really hoping Ruby would be able to help out with the baby, but now he was having his doubts. He was only glad his sister had showed up, but he knew she wouldn’t be staying here long. If only he could trust a nursemaid with the baby, but it was too risky. They needed to watch over this child personally.

He also needed to take Linette to his father’s gravesite soon. He had his body buried at the back of his mother’s favorite church in Lancaster, near the coast. While it was far from his home, ’twas where his mother’s grave was also, and where she insisted to be buried as it was the same graveyard as her relatives. Nyle needed to spend time with his sister and take her there, as he knew she needed to mourn and he hadn’t even allowed her that since she’d been here. Aye, he decided. He would tend to the needs of his family very soon indeed.
