Chapter 335: Change in plans (2)
An hour later, Annalise had cleaned herself up after the knights were finished with a small stream nearby and Rafael stood guard with Ezra and Thomas to stop anyone from getting close to where she had taken off her dress to wash up.
Annalise was finally able to have a proper conversation with the women who were knights since they waited to bathe once the men were finished and looked forward to spending more time with them when she returned to the manor.
After washing up, Annalise joined in eating around the fires. Enjoying meat caught by both Ezra and the knights. She had caught Ezra sharing with one of the knights how he managed to catch a rabbit without taking a torch with him to see where he was going.
Ezra didn’t want to answer at first as he continued to eat, but then he turned to the knight and started to explain how to properly hunt. Annalise didn’t have to worry about distracting Ezra because he would make friends who would do that job for her.
After having enough to eat, Annalise returned to the tent first as it was getting late and she needed to be well-rested for their trip tomorrow. She wanted time to go quickly so she could see Beatrice again. It was what she looked forward to the most aside from seeing her friends.
Annalise decided to stay in the dress she changed into after washing up. The later it got the colder the night started to become and the bonfires were not of much help since they weren’t too close to the tent.
As soon as Annalise laid her head down, Rafael entered the tent. He had spoken to Christian about taking a few knights to get his mother and then meeting at the road they would have to take to get back to the manor.
Annalise would ride in the carriage with his mother so they could spend the ride back catching up on what had happened since the last time they saw each other.
Rafael wanted his mother to know who Annalise was before they reached home and make plans to spend days with Annalise so wouldn’t be bored in the manor. His mother would also help get Annalise used to her new life in the manor.
