IтАЩm a good bit calmer, like.тАЭ

As they rode back to the inn, at a nice stately trot to avoid suspicion, Branoic was thinking seriously of
starving himself to death out of shame.



With all the trouble brewing out in the tavern yard, Nevyn and Maryn easily slipped out the back gate

and rode off with barely a soul noticing, As soon as they were back at their own inn, Nevyn turned the
horses over to another silver dagger and dragged the prince up to his private chamber. Although he tried
to feign embarrassment, Maryn couldnтАЩt quite keep from grinning.

тАЬListen, lad,тАЭ Nevyn said, and he felt defeated before he truly began his little lecture. тАЬItтАЩs your safety
IтАЩm worried about. Slipping off into town with only those two bumbling idiots for guards was a very bad
idea.тАЭ

тАЬWell, t-t-true enough, and IтАЩm sorry.тАЭ

тАЬYou donтАЩt look sorry in the least. After this, if you simply canтАЩt live without a lass, have your friends
bring you one. For enough silver that sort of lass is always willing to take a little walk.тАЭ

тАЬNo doubt my learned c-c-councillor would know.тАЭ

Nevyn restrained the impulse to give the one true king of all Deverry a good slap across the chops. Very
dimly he could remember being both that young and that smug about his first lassтАФsome two hundred
years earlier or about that, anyway. Such anniversaries had rather lost their importance for him. All at
once Maryn let his grin fade and sat down in the one rickety chair to stare at the floor.

тАЬSomewhat wrong?тАЭ

тАЬNot tr-tr-truly. I was just thinking. Both you and Father were telling me that IтАЩd have to marry GlynтАЩs
daughter.тАЭ

тАЬSo we were, and so you do.тАЭ

тАЬHow old is she?тАЭ

тАЬThirteen.тАЭ

тАЬWell, at least sheтАЩs old enough.тАЭ He looked up with a worried frown. тАЬIs she pr-pr-pretty?тАЭ

тАЬI have no idea.тАЭ

тАЬI suppose IтАЩll have to m-m-marry her even if sheтАЩs got twenty wens and a besom squint.тАЭ
