CHAPTER TWENTY

*

''My Lord'' Adrian stops his father from going to his chambers ''Permit me if i may but, do you not think this a bad idea, leaving them on their own?''

''No i do not''

''But..father''

''You worry for your brother, that is admirable''

''No, he worries for the despicable behavior our dear Willy boy might exhibit towards the Princess and cause the King to off his head'' Theodore who comes behind Adrian says

''Shouldn't you be on your way home Viscount Theodore, surely the Count and Countess would be worried of your absence?'' Duke Alan De Beaumont says to him

''I have sent word, they be happy knowing that i am in safe hands under De Beaumonts and besides, i rather be here to make sure my good ol' Willy boy returns home un-scarred, there is no telling what she would do to him, ooh poor Lad''

Adrian sighs ''Maybe, i should take a coach down Father, just to make sure''

''Nonsense!! You would do no such thing''

''But how would they fair?''
