Kay watched Britt throw a stick. Cavall dutifully fetched it and brought it back to her, earning himself a pat on the head.
Kay smiled briefly before he returned his attention to his logbook and finished his entry for the day.
My Lord appears to bear no ill marks from the war. She was not physically hurt, but I had feared all the blood and death would affect her. It is good Merlin brought her back early—although I wish he had taken a squad of soldiers with him.
Young Ywain follows my Lord like a puppy. His admiration of her grows on a daily basis. Merlin sees this too and has begun studying Britt more thoughtfully. He asks for her opinion now before making final decisions.
Sir Bodwain’s attitude towards my Lord has shifted as well, for he now treats her with a great deal of respect instead of toleration. I do not know what has changed his mind, but I am glad for it.
Writing this down has made me note how my Lord’s knights and advisors have changed, but I do not think my Lord has changed at all. She is still easy going and strong both physically and mentally. Perhaps even I do not give her enough credit, for she is but one person and she has changed the fate of an entire country.
Kay looked up from his writing to watch Britt throw the stick again. Cavall retrieved it, eliciting praise and a hug from Britt.
Merlin was circling Britt, speaking to her although the monarch clearly was not paying attention. As if to prove the point Britt turned and called out, “Kay, when are we going to go on our daily ride? I have a carrot I’ve been holding onto for Roen and it’s going to turn to mush soon if I keep sitting on it like I have been.”
Kay glanced at his log book and smiled. “Whenever you wish, my Lord.”
“Let’s go now, then.”
“I object, you still haven’t learned how to properly bow,” Merlin said.
“I’m King, why do I need to know how to bow?”
“There is that,” Merlin grudgingly admitted.
“Come on, Sir Kay. Let’s go,” Britt said, hurrying through the courtyard before Merlin could come up with a rebuff.
“As you wish, my Lord.”
