Chapitre 121: dependent on their husbands

"I never knew your highness did not trust the duchess's knights security," I said, not ready to let go, I knew once Rosamund added into the equation we would not be able to talk.

"It's not about security, duchess. Katherine is new here, and her well being is my responsibility as a husband, that's why I want to send someone who knew about her habits and needs well.''
