Summer slipped out of the bed as quietly as possible, padding barefoot across the floor and into the next room. For all her knowledge of how knights and lords lived, she hadn\u2019t expected to encounter any servants \u2014 in fact, she\u2019d been thinking she might go and make breakfast. So when she rounded a corner and nearly walked into another man, she shrieked in startlement.<\/p>\n

Hastily, he reached out and covered her mouth. \u201cHush, mistress, you will wake the master.\u201d She glared, and he removed his hand just as quickly. \u201cI assume he\u2019s still asleep.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Who are you?” she hissed.<\/p>\n

“My name is Rafael, mistress. I\u2019m Sir Isaac\u2019s manservant.” He gave a small dip of the head. “I took the liberty of arranging your things in one of the bedrooms.” Taking her arm in a firm grip, he guided her some distance along a hallway to a smaller, simpler bedroom. “Now I must go and wake the master.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Isaac awoke to the most peculiar of sensations, one that he couldn\u2019t put into words as such, but he knew that whatever it was that had caused him to awaken, caused his stomach to churn uncomfortably. Sliding out of the bed, he was about to stand up when the door creaked open, and as he was about to question Summer on where she\u2019d run off to so quickly, Rafael entered the room.<\/p>\n

“You scared her, didn\u2019t you?” he stated by way of a friendly greeting, chuckling under his breath at his manservant\u2019s agreement. He hadn\u2019t wanted one, of course, but it was Prince Derek\u2019s order, insisting that if Isaac wanted so badly to live alone, and away from the Palace, then he should at least have someone to look after him.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“I’ve placed her in the bedroom at the far end of the hall,” Rafael said stiffly. He didn’t come out and say that he didn’t approve of the two sharing a bed, but then Rafael had always been able to indicate his desire for Sir Isaac to be a little more aware of his status without words. “I have sent your armour to the blacksmith for polishing and your sword for sharpening and cleaning. His Majesty sent to say the Princess desires to meet your … guest. After breakfast.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
