How quickly things went sour when all he had wanted to do was go riding in the meadows with the lovely Lady Marina. Instead he found himself in the arms of a wailing woman who had dug her claws into his back rather painfully. He understood her fear, as Sir Damian was the strongest man he had ever encountered. He pried her from his person, turning to face the commotion and keeping her behind him in effort to provide some sort of protection--though by the looks of things he wasn't very good at it.<br/><br/>"Your daughter hasn't lain with anybody!" Alexander yelled out, angry at the man's overreaction--though he reasoned had it been his own daughter, he would have likely beat her for her silliness as well. It was beyond all his comprehension what chaos was going on. He was just thankful there were guards and Sir Edward there. He certainly did not want to engage in any sort of fight. That blasted Yakari! Why couldn't he have loved Danielle? Even Alexander would have been fine with that so long as it had not brought upon this mess. If he knew then what he knew now, he very much would have never let Danielle's beauty capture him.<br/><br/>And what of Lady Marina? Her only fault had been to be in the hallway with him when Gregorio and Danielle had shown up. The innocent woman had been through hell the day before, and now this. Alexander felt incredibly guilty and lamented at the fact she likely would never want to see his face again after this. Damnit all!<br/><br/>"Oh for fuck's sake! This is absurd," Alexander growled out as he searched for his sword.
