Kapitel 108: What Happened

 Vincent walked into the room and Delaney saw worry clear on his face. He stepped forward quickly, looking her over before pulling her into his arms and kissing her.

   "The servants said you were at the castle? What happened? Why didn't you send someone for me?"

   "There wasn't time," Delaney answered, her heart still racing from hiding the bottle just in time, "The Queen invited me to come to visit with her so you wouldn't have been able to stay with me anyway."

   "You're my wife Delaney. I would've told her I wasn't going to leave your side again while you were at court."

   "And how would that I have looked?" Delaney sighed, "You can't insult the Queen of our lands like that. Even if the King is your cousin."

   Vincent frowned and rubbed the back of his neck, "It's not safe there for you. As wealthy as we are it never really was but it definitely isn't now that the line of succession has changed."
