Capítulo 298: The Final Piece

      The ride back to the King's City was slow.  It was dark and their horses were tired.  Delaney knew they probably should have stayed a night at the ocean house but she couldn't stand the thought of wasting any more time now that she had the last thing Helena needed to save her husband.

      She, Bernard, and Duncan ate some of the food that was in the basket before stopping so they could give the rest to their men.  Sensing their mistress's eagerness to be back, the men decided they would snack on it while the carriage was moving.

      Delaney was so excited she thought she might pop but she was also incredibly tired.  She realized she seemed to get tired faster than before she was pregnant.  She leaned against the side of the carriage and soon fell asleep, thankful this stretch of road was smooth.
