A Friar's Bloodfeud: (Knights Templar 20) - Plot & Excerpts
‘You said in there that Constance and young Hugh were both dead, but you implied …’ Baldwin brought his horse nearer Simon’s. ‘Simon, Edgar and I have seen men burned at the stake. You’ve seen bodies brought out from burned-out cottages, too. A man doesn’t simply burn away.’ Edgar nodded. ‘A man takes cartloads of wood to be completely immolated, Simon.’ ‘But what else could have . .?’ ‘If Hugh was hurt, he would find a place to hide until he was well, wouldn’t he?’ Baldwin said. ‘And then he would return to exact vengeance.’ ‘He could have escaped that place only to die alone somewhere else,’ Simon said with a gasp. His grief was rising again. It felt like panic. The idea that his man could have been injured, and had run off like a stabbed hog to die in a lonely, miserable, cold place far from anyone he loved, was more than Simon could bear. He closed his eyes and didn’t quite catch Baldwin’s next comment. ‘What?’ ‘Wake up, Simon!’ Baldwin snapped.
