Chapter 217: Answer (1)
"I’ve sent the butler to get some drinks for our husbands. I hope he can find them. You know how they get," Wendy chuckled.
Beatrice had a feeling that the two men were somewhere in the garden hiding and were going to send the butler away. "They have a lot to catch up on. Your house looks wonderful," Beatrice said, looking around at the new touches Wendy made.
"I got a little carried away with changing around furniture. The town isn’t as exciting as it was when I was younger so all I can do to pass the time is decorate. It would be wonderful if you took my advice to move here. Rafael," Wendy said, turning to face Rafael who not long joined them. "There is plenty of land for you to have your knights stay."
"As of right now, I have no plans of moving the knights. The manor is enough and I am already moving forward to expand it to offer more knights shelter. It is only my mother you need to convince to stay here," Rafael replied, looking out the open window.
Wendy wished it was that easy. "Now you know that your mother will not move far away from you. I’ve spent years trying to convince her to move here, but I have not had any luck. Have you thought about where you will settle when your years as a knight end?"
"I don’t think that far into the future. I like to focus on right now," Rafael answered. He wasn’t worried about the future like others. Wherever he was meant to be after putting down his sword would happen on its own.
"Won’t you miss me if I was to move far away from you?" Beatrice asked. She liked how close they were so she could see Rafael often.
Rafael travelled a lot so living near to him guaranteed she was going to see him a few times when he was home.
"Yes," Rafael answered honestly. "But it is quiet and more suited for you here. If you ever want to move, do it. I will travel to visit you."
