Before he could leap to conclusions about her having the ability to mess with his mind and recall all the old reasons as to why female mages were not allowed to marry royalty, she blurted out, "I saved one of her snake eyes. I think that I can figure out how to use its power."
He turned her down. "If I forget it all, I will have to forget how amazing you looked when you swung that hammer downwards with force and killed a giant serpent with a single blow." He kissed her on the cheek. "If you had been born a man Sigrid, you would have been a commander."
"Who says women cannot be commanders?"
"The military laws of Eldoria."
"If female mages can go to war, then women can also join the army. It is time to change on the laws on the knighting of women, Roland."
Roland carried her to the large sofa and lay down with her. Even if it was just for an hour or two, he thought that it would be best if they got some sleep. "Can we talk about this another time?" He turned her over because he wanted to look at her face.
If her face was the last thing he saw in his sleep, he was sure that he would not dream of the serpent queen hovering over him. Or Lady Jane Fairfax!
