The Butcher Of St Peter's: (Knights Templar 19) - Plot & Excerpts
Like a battering ram, he separated the crowd, leaving a path for her, and not once did he apologize or beg permission. He had been given an order to protect Jeanne as she sought out and questioned this woman, and that he would do. There was no need to apologize to churls standing in his way. There were times when Jeanne regretted his arrogant attitude towards almost the whole of the rest of the world, but then she was forced to accept that any attempt to change him would probably fail. He was too complete, too entirely constructed as a devoted servant of her husband’s. Today there were many complaints about servants who took positions based solely on the cash they were offered. For these avaricious mercenaries there was only one God, and He was Mammon. Lords living in older halls and castles were forced to buy new properties, or have ever more elaborate defences constructed, so that, should they be attacked, they could bar the doors against not only the attackers but also their servants.
