‘We were so happy to hear what happened at Oudenarde,’ she said, stepping back to look him up and down. ‘What makes me even happier is that you seem to have come through the battle unscathed.’
‘Good fortune attended me yet again.’
‘Did you have no injuries at all?’
‘None that prevented me from coming here,’ he said. ‘My horse was shot from under me and I collected a few painful bruises as I fell. Otherwise — thank God — I escaped unharmed.’
‘Tell me all about it, Daniel.’
‘I can’t do that.’
‘But I want to hear the details.’
‘Then you’ll have to find someone else who was there.’
She frowned. ‘Why are you being so unhelpful?’
‘Because I don’t want to waste the little time we have together, talking about a battle. It was fierce, hectic and very bloody, Amalia. My sword gave me good service. That’s all I’m prepared to say.’ He picked her up in his arms and twirled her around a couple of times. ‘Let me forget about the army for once in my life.’
‘But you’ve just helped to conquer the French.’
‘The only conquest I’m prepared to discuss is you.’
Face glowing, Amalia laughed with sheer joy.
