Gavin barely heard what she said about Diane. Instead, his mind raced with her mentioning that she could be above reproach as queen. In a normal kingdom, that would be true. Not in Anstaria.<br/><br/>"We must work hard to make sure that the right party is brought to justice," Gavin said. "Remove all doubt from the minds of the people. And, remove all doubt from the minds of the Ritter Hex." Gavin still remembered how dangerous they could be. After his mother's death...no, murder...he made sure to try and stay on their good sides. However, he wondered if that was a good idea now that it jepoerdize his future marriage with Honore.<br/><br/>"We have a chapel in the palace," Gavin said. "Marry me, Honore. We can keep it a secret for as long as you like, but I want you as my wife."<br/><br/>******************<br/><br/>Nicole's fingers teased Diane, and she unconciously leaned in toward's the servant girl. Her mind was a blur of erotic images, half formed by her virgin mind. She could feel her nipples pressing against the material of her dress, each movement sending shivers through her body.<br/><br/>She smiled at the mention of Honore believing her worthy of her time. "I am very grateful to what Honore is doing for me. She is a wonderful teacher. I can only hope I make her proud," Diane said softly. "I am hoping that with her teachings I will have a marriage filled with love. That's all I really want; love."
