The thought of her one day leaving his side started making William's chest ache. No wonder Leo was in such a foul mood these days, he mused, constantly rubbing his beard and growling at everyone.

The more William thought about it, the more convinced he became that little Henry Devon might be a good match for his precious girl after all. At least Annika would then remain at the Islian court, and would be blessed with the sweet natured Blanche as her mother-in-marriage.
