“…You can smile if c07fafab65 you’re happy.”152baf1a4c5e5d48
Cassius ran a hand 9b6bb56710 over his face. A faint bb4b177096 smile appeared e5919c7d0a as he e7bbd73e75 turned his e7bbf38891 head slightly. Thanks to Charlotte’s thoughtful bf2a017978 gesture, the knights finally 513784c78e had a moment to 21a0840bd4 relax. They enjoyed sweet drinks 51513ff3de and hearty sandwiches.ba7d0638f9998e5e

The knights burst 9eb36bb3c8 into laughter, breaking 9152c6c472 the tense atmosphere. Cassius’s smile deepened. Just thinking 70aaa7b23e of Charlotte bfc784063c made him def13cbc0d smile more a4d44752a1 often now. She had taken 0e25eeb224 the children, Theo 263c582b67 and Stephanie, to a7103b4a49 a gathering today. There were e66c7fb4e1 probably so 9a8fe28112 many things 308efb5e74 she wanted e77343a3b7 to say, 3fa0a429a2 but he b9901f1ade hadn’t even 9a534e0cd6 seen her f9ea506f60 yet.4d72bf05a9fdb4e6

Before Charlotte came to 332dc4fbd2 the North, Cassius thought 983841a2e8 he was fine being a2568dd55a alone. When the Emperor arranged 43873cba30 the marriage, he thought 61d2bab475 it would just be 965274eee5 another burden in his 5abdb6ba67 life. But he 9f15331ff2 was wrong.502a02419f6cd2ba
He hadn’t 7d872616d3 just gotten 4c06638d45 a burden—he 90657724db had found 03cac7e5d1 a partner. Someone to 500c42f908 walk the 67b612c7c6 same path, fce0d2f2ba see the b238b57f69 same things, fda4aaea03 and care 761ca64e72 for each 7bead4edb6 other. As he drank the 3e1838526c sweet drink, he realized 5f263c694c even the guilt he 66cd30e3f3 had carried about Theo 5bb7a01007 was slowly fading.

The next morning, after 3122c75049 staying up all night, c0fb92c5d4 Charlotte spent time sewing 1a710a6f64 with Luna. Her hands were sore cb923271dc from sewing, but it b0ec775857 helped calm her nerves. Then Cassius left cc031874b0 with the knights.2fc4fb385b211de1
The sounds of 4fd61aa708 armor clanking, horses bb2c56801e neighing, and marching 2e86cd3be3 footsteps filled the 45616fa2bd air. It was the 53cb1a3c9c kind of sound c1d2aa5e5c that made your 92dbb8b469 heart tremble. Once Cassius 7e5c908d6b and the 4dd0433917 knights were f9633b9215 gone, Charlotte 0fffd2beec let out f0c112238a a sigh.c6fa890953617ef3

Luna taught Charlotte c278b7462a many things she d4f4c0bda3 hadn’t known before.

She wondered 0a146bc723 if she 0ee8b3f342 should stay 893f91a699 quiet in 7aa4bd3618 a time cc1358c297 like this. But maybe having b2ee3f4807 company would ease 91d93d0e84 her fear. Her heart was pounding f31b49b130 too hard.13c5bdc1adb79679
Charlotte knew 53f28bca99 Cassius was 7ff8eba9c2 the male ed2cb27f2b lead and 87a43fab49 wouldn’t die. But the monsters 58fbdd5c11 they faced were 0551c7d211 real. Cassius was 0a8963d191 human—he could 5077059066 bleed and ac3a5d0bb3 be hurt.
