Cassius ran 20e42741d1 a hand a2fb9a1b4c over his b4b0a4b4b1 face. A faint 950b56eeda smile appeared 727de6c50a as he 25fd70a9be turned his 7ab6afc8a2 head slightly. Thanks to Charlotte’s thoughtful bf6dab18a7 gesture, the knights finally 0b880e2efb had a moment to 974f447635 relax. They enjoyed sweet drinks 0c409eecc0 and hearty sandwiches.78c6cfb557a83512

The knights 1e838cd1bb burst into 7801e22925 laughter, breaking 05c0645b96 the tense 528db8dc3d atmosphere. Cassius’s smile deepened. Just thinking abbd675c5d of Charlotte d7c2567430 made him 454536da47 smile more c15f29186b often now. She had taken 922610d33a the children, Theo 545497352f and Stephanie, to 3df0ca3f5d a gathering today. There were 4239cbdbb5 probably so cf6db95fc1 many things c03cb158f7 she wanted 5e612b7fa0 to say, d8e450e2c6 but he 99bc9316fb hadn’t even 6adebe2712 seen her 8122072dec yet.cad3390f75eb87a4

Before Charlotte came to 1c096b7e08 the North, Cassius thought f9d67f1208 he was fine being 90980e502d alone. When the 769f145212 Emperor arranged e23da6c379 the marriage, 4b7606be93 he thought 7d63d57608 it would aa78750f2f just be d05dd39cf3 another burden 917d2820f9 in his 6f16d9301b life. But he 9975281206 was wrong.316fe30ef4f0b800
He hadn’t just 250a468c89 gotten a burden—he a8882f185f had found a a3aa4ca57d partner. Someone to walk b9695e206f the same path, eee5b59592 see the same 7be13c148b things, and care 63e5e78820 for each other. As he 93a377ad0b drank the 3f1a54c704 sweet drink, 26744daab4 he realized eb1943a42f even the c7cc3357bb guilt he 24505b6143 had carried ffb03fe1fe about Theo db59003808 was slowly 612a05ac35 fading.

Cassius didn’t deny 0d37dcd7b5 any of it. He just 2e0d406b6f enjoyed the 04eca46d39 moment, even 4353a41923 though they 3b7126ac8e were heading d94fe20b70 into a 9a33521566 dangerous war.6a495c2898eb09ca

The next morning, 8c14f465d4 after staying up 9d3f5f1654 all night, Charlotte c5cc6fb92c spent time sewing c31b7fb5ba with Luna. Her hands 0aa1dda0bf were sore 33f06e5622 from sewing, 87d7704ccc but it 40da62735c helped calm 4cb848a7bf her nerves. Then Cassius left 97149f9682 with the knights.53573c2f3a146687
The sounds of armor 0b0ca42953 clanking, horses neighing, and a8b26530e7 marching footsteps filled the bb8f7dc524 air. It was the kind 98a2eec5bd of sound that made 60ed0640ee your heart tremble. Once Cassius fc02228f06 and the 9ce53e69b4 knights were e751692aac gone, Charlotte 152807614a let out 1e24857bcc a sigh.849c199f16107239

Luna taught Charlotte many 529e41880b things she hadn’t known d96ab35b0e before. She thought 04529b091a about how 1cac935af0 in novels, 86d6c22b92 helpers like 40462412b8 nannies or b91913835f head maids 182e6ed0b2 were always 19002684ce important.

She wondered if she 01ed7a6f29 should stay quiet in ce36d7c281 a time like this. But maybe having company 1b129b687d would ease her fear. Her heart 2d3bd0f2fc was pounding e829046d54 too hard.ba7e83ed3792db03
Charlotte knew c6c53efc99 Cassius was ba51a7207b the male 2526b7e605 lead and 73a179fc31 wouldn’t die. But the monsters 5855fa72f6 they faced were 3ab29951c4 real. Cassius was human—he could ca67d177f8 bleed and be hurt. The idea 9789e5f3b9 of him 3d17038d21 shedding blood 9d0977f1f2 or mourning d3e2b64d69 for a df2b6c58da comrade was f056ec961d painful.11fe212d1bc0fce9
