Chapter 334: Change in plans (1)
Rafael knew there was a possibility Annalise wouldn’t be welcomed to the palace right away which was why he was planning on staying in Edgar’s home where his mother was now to work on easing Annalise into the palace. He didn’t think they would want to stop her from entering the town,
The court pushing for her to not step foot in Lockwood now called for a change of plans. They could only go back to the manor and speak to Tobias through letters.
Rafael understood the fear of these men who rarely picked up a sword and felt like their life was in danger because they couldn’t protect themselves. It was a little frustrating because he was only travelling with Annalise and three of her guards. It wasn’t like he was travelling with Phillip and his army for the palace to need to worry about a big attack.
In his opinion, they were overreacting. It wouldn’t be the first time they had welcomed one of their enemies to the palace to talk about peace or meet elsewhere.
Rafael had been badgered to help with the border and now that he was finally helping for peace, they were turning down the chance to meet with Annalise.
"You look like you could pass out at any second. Get some food and rest. I will call upon you later," Rafael said, sending the knight away. There was more Rafael wanted to hear but after a long ride to catch them before they got too far into Lockwood, the man needed to rest.
The knight nodded his head, grateful he was getting a break to find food and water. He was on the verge of dropping to the ground to go to sleep, but first, he needed food.
Rafael remained outside the tent, trying to think of what to do now. He had to get his mother to take her back home while keeping Annalise out of Lockwood.
Rafael entered the tent to tell Annalise about their change in plans and found Annalise sitting up.
