He looked nearly seventy, so Taylor scaled his age to somewhere around the mid or late fifties for this era. Perhaps a bit younger, if disease had been unkind to him. But he was hearty for his age and there was nothing wrong with his mind. With Queen Ingvild’s permission, Marit presented Taylor to the King as a cousin from a neighboring kingdom. As an afterthought, Marit present Tyra’s husband, Veris, who bowed from his position at the back of the big fire burning in the center of the room. Herleifr nodded at Veris before turning his gaze back upon Taylor. “Most remarkable,” he murmured. He glanced at his wife, who sat upon the much smaller throne several steps down below the tier his grand chair was placed upon. “Have you ever seen such beauty before?” Taylor glanced at Marit, who was smiling with a self-satisfied expression, standing next to the queen. She had predicted this. She had also warned Taylor not to argue with the king. Taylor could feel the need to explain pushing at her lips and gritted her teeth.
