His Rebel Bride (Brothers In Arms Book 3) - Plot & Excerpts
The structure was solid, worthy, and accessible from but one road. Kieran had no trouble imagining why the other Palesmen thought it best for imprisoning the rebels. Thus far, Malahide’s dungeons had held them.Groaning with cold, he swung off his mount. Guards greeted him immediately in the dusk and took him to the great hall. There, fifteen lords sat with tankards in hand.“Why should we not tax the heathens?” spouted one thick-waisted Englishman.“Their land is more profitable, man,” said another, this one younger and heartier of voice. “If we take the land and let them keep what pittance of funds they have, we’ll have them by the throats.”“Why not both?” suggested a third, raising his tankard with a lopsided grin.The group laughed.Kieran scowled at their greed. None of these men appeared to need the funds, the lands, or the food either would provide. Did they not see taking the people’s lands and funds would leave women and children to starve? Break up families? Force men to take up arms who had not previously, just to survive?“Tax policies are directly solicited to King Henry though my correspondence, gentlemen.”At Kieran’s words, all heads turned in his direction.
