Life was good. Early autumn was Sir Willem Glasdale’s favourite time of year, when the heat of summer had most assuredly passed but there was far from any cold bite of the coming winter to be felt. The villagers of Grenmire were all busy with the harvest, and Willem himself was in the midst of reaping the rewards of his own efforts with his small cottage garden. Looking at the state of the lettuce and radishes this year, Willem had to admit it was a good thing he was a knight and not a farmer. He still had a lot to learn when it came to having a green thumb. Clearly.
Still, the rocket had turned out well and would be a welcome addition to the standard fare they purchased from the local Grenmire harvest market. He did not mind the labour, there was something deeply rewarding in seeing the planted seeds grow to new life and ripe for his wife’s work in the kitchen. Speaking of… Willem cast an appreciative eye on his wife’s figure, the curve of her ample behind was silhouetted quite attractively in this light as she leant up to hang the next sheet out on the laundry line. Oblivious to both her own good looks and her husband’s current admiring attention, Willem allowed himself a wide grin. Titles and accolades be damned, he thought. Life was good indeed.
<span class="mu-i">“Bielstock.”</span> Willem jumped at the sound of Tam’s voice, looking up to see the young girl’s steely eyes fixed on him from the cottage window. <span class="mu-i">“Are we going or what?”</span>
<span class="mu-i">“Reginae wept girl! …How long have you been standing there?’</span> Willem tried to pretend he’d been inspecting something else but knew it was a fool’s hope. Not much got past that one. <span class="mu-i">“The end of the week, once I’ve escorted our farmers to the Grenoble fair. Bandits near to home are as much a concern as some roving beast two villages away.”</span>
