A painstakingly written note lay sealed on the table by his bedside. The note within read, \u2018Your Grace, I wished to let you know, the physician tells me it is merely a strain to my ankle, and though I must not stand upon it for some time I am permitted to hobble about if I take care and use a stick. I expect I shall be spending some time in the library. Might I hope to be favoured with a moment of your time tomorrow?<\/p>\n

devotedly yours, Summer Rainault\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Henry lay on the bed as he read the note and he sighed as he fell against the bed, he had council in the evening but he knew it would be rude to not accept this invitation.<\/p>\n

He undressed quickly and lay back on the bed as he fell asleep wondering what the girl would ask of him if she had wished to see him, for she had said that the palace was a bore and he could not help but agree with her on those words.<\/p>\n

He sighed, he supposed he would see such things tomorrow.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The peace of the library was soothing after the way her maid and the castle servants had fluttered about getting her there. Bertha had pleaded with her not to leave her bed, in fact, but Summer was adamant: she\u2019d not be holed up inside her rooms all day. She\u2019d go mad if she couldn\u2019t get out at least a little.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Henry\u2019s library held copies of several manuscripts she had been wishing to read, including the Roman de la Rose<\/em> and Lancelot, Knight of the Cart<\/em>. Happily she submerged herself in the lyric writing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Henry was making his way to the library when he was called away to the council again, he stood in the room as he was told of an assassination attempt against him and he sighed.<\/p>\n

\u201cFind them,\u201d he said, \u201cHave them hung for treason, and for attempted assassination. Has it been discovered when they intended to do such a thing?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the hunt my lord,\u201d they told him, \u201cThey wished to catch you during the hunt.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Darkness\u00a0superseded\u00a0the sunlight spilling through the windows, and Summer laid the manuscript aside, carefully pushing herself out of the chair. She was oddly disappointed, though reason said there was no reason she should be. He was the King. He’d work to do.<\/p>\n

She’d just wander the castle for a while, where there were walls to catch her if she stumbled again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
