CHAPTER THIRTEEN
The cart was packed to the brim. Giric had not hesitated to provide them with enough provisions for the winter. And Magnus had never needed to have more blind faith in anyone in his life. He didnât know where they were going. He didnât know how long theyâd be there, and he didnât know how he could protect Elspeth without any additional information. Blind faith indeed. He prayed to Odin that he would have the courage for whatever lay ahead. Men he could best when in battle. But these were invisible foe and he possessed no weapons to fight them. If Elspeth were to fall ill from her episodes he had no skills to help her. Before he left he needed to speak with Freydis.
He located her in the kitchen yelling at the cook. Did the woman have to be so disagreeable all the time?
âFreydis, I must speak with you,â he said, intentionally interrupting her. The cookâs grateful smile not lost on him.
âI know all about it,â she said and placed her hands on her hips. âAnd I do not appreciate being blocked out of knowing exactly where youâre going.â
âBlocked out how?â Now she sounded mad in the head.
âLady Elspeth will not let me see her visions of the direction to the tower house.â
Magnus pulled her to the side and away from the cook whose brows had shot nearly up to his hairline.
âKeep your voice down. You know how dangerous it is for Lady Elspeth right now.â
âI understand the danger,â she said in a raised whisper. âI am more aware than you think.â
Magnus regarded her defiant stance. She was quite vexed about something and he had an inkling what it might be.
âYou donât like that youâre not in control.â
âThatâs not true. I have only been trying to help and I do not appreciate being blocked.â
âHas it occurred to you that she might be trying to protect you?â
âProtect me from what? I saw the vision. It was an abandoned tower. I know about it so why can I not know where it is or join you there?â
âBecause she believes that you are safer here.â
âAnd how would she know that?â
âThatâs the question isnât it, Freydis? How do you know any of this is real?â
âI just do.â
âAnd you cannot accept that perhaps she does as well?â
Freydis folded her arms across her chest. Thorâs teeth, she could be the most stubborn woman.
âWhat am I to do?â
âYou are to do what you said you would from the beginning which is to stay with my sister until she doesnât need you any longer and then return to Islay. I can say with certainty that you are missed there.â
Her whole demeanour changed. She dropped her arms to her sides and her expression softened. She opened her mouth as if to speak and closed it again. Magnus couldnât tell her what to do, but she really should return to Islay before the winter. And he understood the need for control. Heâd felt it slipping from his grasp at times since heâd met Elspeth.
