Swords And Shields (Reign Of The House Of De Winter) - Plot & Excerpts
The truth was that the day itself had been quite unusual, especially at the church when Lady de Winter had snatched Lady Elizaveta and pulled the girl into the sanctuary, having her husband and son shut the door behind them and then refusing to let anyone in. Lady Agnes had been beside herself, thinking that Lady de Winter was beating her child, whilst Mme. Mabelle had cursed at the de Winters using antiquated French phrases that no one had ever heard of. Something about a dog for a mother and a pig for a father. Eventually, Christian du Reims was forced to move his wife and her mother away from the church, praying that the de Winters weren’t working his daughter over inside the church. A bruised bride would only bring chaos. Therefore, like everyone else, he waited fearfully. And waited. A ceremony that was supposed to take place just after Matins didn’t take place until mid-afternoon when the church doors suddenly opened. Not only did Lady de Winter and Lady Elizaveta appear, both of them quite unharmed, but a very big knight also appeared with them.
