Chapter 256: Attack (2)
"This doesn’t feel right, Logan. Why does he need to go off to fight anyone when he is not wearing armour? There are town guards here. Let them go take care of who is causing trouble," Annalise said, hoping she could awaken some sense in Logan for him to go to bring back Rafael.
The knights should be able to take care of whoever was causing trouble without Rafael’s help. That was what he trained them endlessly for. She couldn’t shake the feeling that they should not be separated now.
Annalise would feel better if she could join him to fight and ensure that nothing happened to him, but then there was Beatrice. Only three knights and River were here to guard her. She knew that a former commander River wouldn’t let anyone lay a finger on his wife, but having another person to defend Beatrice wouldn’t hurt.
"He’s been in more danger than this and came out alive. Now is not the time for you to get involved. You either need to get used to the fact he will head right into dangerous fights or end whatever you have with him," Logan said, giving Annalise a warning now before she got too deep with Rafael.
It had nothing to do with his past feelings for her. Saying this to hope she would leave Rafael and come to him. He already knew that he had lost so he wanted the best for the two of them. Logan was merely letting Annalise know the life that awaited her if she would stay with Rafael. To stay with a knight.
There was constant worrying about their safety since they got into many fights which ended in death. Annalise needed to get used to it and fast since Rafael’s uncle was creating a lot of problems. Logan wondered how she would take learning that as soon as they left this town, Rafael was to head to the palace.
"I know that I cannot stop him from running to a fight to help the other knights, but the least someone could do was offer him their armour. Doesn’t it feel like this was a trap to separate us? Attack the house we were staying in while we were away. His uncle is not going to kill Rafael. Who do you think he is after from this attack?" Annalise asked.
She was worried about Rafael and Beatrice. What Siena told her about Travis seemingly wanting to kill Beatrice had never left her mind.
"It would have been better to bring the knights we left behind here so we could all stick together. Make use of the town guards. Travis might not kill Rafael and I don’t know much about the man, but if I were in his shoes with Rafael taking a long to get married, I would give him a little cut for a warning," said Annalise, fearing that Rafael might not return as he left her.
