And fuck all the noble codes in the realm." He smiled. "You know, that sword is meant to be Theiri's highest honour." he snorted, moving his eyes away. "Its not right Lenally... and all I know is, all I've got left in this place now is whats right". Lorenso stood. Taking her hands in one of his. "I'll protect you... If you so wish." His fingers brushed back a lose hair from across her face, and he leant in slowly, locking his lips with her in a passionate kiss.
