The warrior would stew on his defeat. Allow it to fester until he moved against Shaina again. If he did, Argan would not let his bride stop him from punishing the warrior. With that main thought in mind, Argan kept his eyes on Shaina over the next few days looking for the least sign that someone would move against her. It was unfortunate that his bride did not have his same level of caution. She insisted that only a fool would try something again after such a public loss in challenge. Fortunately, Argan knew something Shaina failed to realize. Mandok was indeed a fool. But a fool who had someone clever whispering in his ear. Ivak. The elder warrior’s eyes glowed with contempt whenever their paths crossed. At meal times he’d often make sly comments directed at Argan. Comments which Argan ignored other than to show his amusement at such petty efforts. He would not be goaded to arms against Ivak. Time would show the warrior that the day would come when he either pledged his loyalty fully to Shaina or Argan shut his mouth.
