Also, she wondered if the source of the information might be a little biased. To Devlin, Sir Cyrille was a god. Born a fourth son, Devlin had no hopes of inheriting and, with the death of his father, his step father arrived with his own sons and Devlin found himself in an awkward situation. All his brothers had already left to make their own way in the world leaving behind their baby brother. His mother immediately began having more children and with her doting on them and his stepfather not caring much for the presence of another man’s child, Devlin’s childhood home was no longer his. At the age of 15 Devlin left home without a plan, without money, without food, not even a horse. Cyrille’s squire, at that time, caught him when he stole a pie and brought him before the brothers. Damien took the hard road and was ready to punish Devlin, though the boy did not know what punishment he would have faced, but Cyrille stepped in. With his squire close to earning his spurs, he would need a new squire and chose Devlin. The boy had become awestruck with him at that moment. His prowess with the women, his expertise in battle, even his horsemanship could not be equaled. To hear the boy go on and on it seemed even as if no one could wipe their ass as well as Cyrille. Alena vowed to listen to every word the boy spoke of the man for she envied him and his devotion, even if at times it became a little tiring. In those two days since their arrival Garrick’s health diminished considerably. It wasn’t that Alena or Marcus didn’t try to fight the infection in the man’s body, he was just too proud to accept their help, insisting they leave him alone, and they stop trying to coddle him. He was a man who came from such poverty Alena could not fathom. Marcus said Garrick prided himself on his strength, for that was what allowed him to rise from the dirt of a whore’s tent. However, after all that time Garrick never faltered, felt he could not without risking all he had gained. Perhaps the man was right. But now he was among friends, though that term seemed to be unknown to him and he refused assistance to the point of brandishing a knife and threatening their lives.
