Linnet hurriedly left before Gwen realized she was gone. Maud chuckled. "I believe the creature is a rooster, your highness," she said as she handed Gwen the full teacup. "There is cake and scones. Will that be all?" She asked.Gwen lay on her bed and groaned. "Her and that silly pigeon! Why does she carry that thing around."
Kat snorted. "They don't do much with me. I'm not as capable apparently."
Thomas clutched his stomachs and groaned. Maybe he shouldn't pick fights with the town boys.
Linnet stopped by her room to grab her cloak then proceeded down the back stairway. The less people to see her leave the better. She clasped her cloak as she hurried down a stone pathway towards the gardens. If Fawn had indeed delivered the note as asked, Peter should be by the treeline by now.
Richard frowned. "Well you're a knight. Sure you're, well, female, but they still ought to give you your share of duties," he said.
Fawn, having finished unsaddled her horse and fed and watered it, slunk down in an empty stall to think things over.

Jane rapped on the door. "Cliffton? Your highness, are you in there?" She said loudly.
