That you are after Lady Marina? And that I am not good enough for you?"</span><br/><br/>Gregorio gave a short snort and then he stopped her and looked into her eyes. Danielle had not been able to see his eyes all night in the dimly lit dungeon but now she could see that his eyes were cold and calculating. Nevertheless it wasn't as if he didn't seem to care about her.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">'"Yes and no, Danielle. It has nothing to do with you actually. In my opinion you are beautiful young lady and you surely have made a lot of mistakes yesterday, but I won't hold those over you. You are a good person, Danielle and if your father really doesn't reconcile with you, then I will be there for you. As a friend and maybe more - one can never tell."</span><br/><br/>Danielle blushed with his words and she shamefully looked to the ground. Somehow it felt good to know that there was still a knight out there who didn't think her a bad person.<br/><br/><span style="color: #80FF00">"Thanks for you support. I have never thanked you enough for what you did last night for me. It was very nice and very kind. I don't think that Yakari really knows you. You can't be as bad as he described you."</span><br/><br/>Gregorio gave a short laugh and shook his head. He brushed a strand of her long hair out of her face and Danielle shivered slightly when the back of his hand moved over her cheek.<br/><br/><span style="color: #FF8000">"Oh, he was pretty close to the truth. I am a violent man and I usually take what I want by force. And I desperately want the lands of Lady Marina. My own lands are too small actually and hers are large and she is only a young girl. Her father is dead, her mother ill, she won't be able to hold her lands. But Yakari was right. I could take it by force, but the easier way would be marrying her. And the more accepted way too. You are not the only one who tried to coax somebody into a marriage, Danielle. I played a trick on Marina too yesterday. Unfortunately Alexander got into my way and now I have to get him out of the way again. So, my desperate tries to make him reconsider his feelings for you were indeed partly selfish - but not totally, I really hoped I could get your honor reinstalled by getting you two together."</span></div>
