The Temptation (The Medieval Knights Series) - Plot & Excerpts
"My lord, a word," Raymond said. There was no need to say more; Hugh understood his urgency at a look. They withdrew to the shadowed quiet of the north aisle of the chapel. "My lord. Gautier has whispered to Edward, who has murmured to Jovetta, that this is our last day in Warkham." "Our last day? When he knows that I will not leave his holding without our bargain met in full? Aye, he plots mischief," Hugh pondered, running a hand through his hair. "Yet," he said, lifting his head, "yet I think I understand him. Does a man give up power unless forced? Nay." "Yet he was going to give up—" "But only to get something he held in higher value. If he doubts he will get it, then he will withdraw, hoping still to touch what he yearns to have. I always knew him capable of perfidy, as did Baldwin. Gautier's name for sharp bargaining has traveled far in Christendom." "He would kill to keep from fulfilling a vow made between men of honor?" Raymond asked. "He would kill to get what he wants," Hugh said.
