The workers were busy today in the Peckham Citadel site. Elara walked quickly to were Kenric was and grabbed him away with her. She did not want to be seen talking to Kenric."Hello, my beautiful lady," Kenric said, his voice soft as she let go of his arm.Elara pulled him close to the wall. "Stop speaking sweetly! Answer me now, Did you tell lies about my husband’s Guild, the Brotherhood Silver Hand Guild?"Kenric smiled, looking very pleased with himself. "Yes, I did that. By my troth, I did! The coin price of the Brotherhood fell sharply today, by more than a fifth! Your husband's wealth is already smaller. This is only the first day. Soon, Arthur will have no money left at all!"Hearing it, Elara felt anger flash across her face. "Why did you do such a wicked thing? Is it because of Lord Gideon your cousin..."Kenric shouted before she could finish, "It is not for Lord Gideon, but for you!""For me?" Elara stared at him, stunned.Kenric took a step closer. "I am in love with you,
Episode 92
Godric was sitting on a wooden chair inside an Inn.Grabbing the tankard from the table, he gulped down a small portion of ale into his mouth. He took a hissed through his teeth as he slammed the tankard down. "By the saints, this ale is worse than the village pond!" He cursed as if the ale was the source of all his troubles."Arthur should have been married to my sister not you Elara." he muttered, shaking his head.In Godric’s opinion, if Maren was the one married to Arthur, it would be easy for him to be able to boast with pride that he sister was married to the new Head of the Brotherhood Guild. Maren might even convince Arthur to hire him, Godric at the Guild.He sighed. "Well," he grumbled, "let Elara ruin things as she always does. It is her true talent, after all."Godric knew Elara would sure ruin things between her and Arthur. Once she ruined things, Arthur will be free and Maren will pursue Arthur.Thinking about it, Godric smiled. His gaze then shifted to the small gall

Kenric grabbed Elara’s hand one last time as he saw relax. His eyes were glued to her face. This time, Elara made no effort to shake his hand free. At this moment, it started raining. In this deep situation, Elara felt completely safe. Their hands were clasped tight, and their fingers intertwined, just as a loving couple would hold. She spoke softly in the dark. “Kenric, I must be honest. I like you very much. You are handsome, and you come from a rich family. What woman wouldn't want you?”She sighed. “However, we have only just met. And my good husband, Arthur, treats me with great kindness. So I must, with sadness, refuse the offer you wish to make.” She said, hoping Kenric continues pestering her. Kenric understood her words. She was not shuting the door yet, the latch was still unlocked. He leaned closer. “If we spend more time together, and if your lord, Arthur, ever treats you poorly, would you then consider giving me a chance?” Elara did not immediately refuse this tim

Even though Kenric made Elara's heart pound, she kept her face calm like she was not interested. Elara nudged Agatha with her elbow. “What silly talk is that?” Elara ask. “He only desires a beautiful lady like me I would never cheat on Arthur again.”In Elara’s mind, her Arthur was now perfect for her. He was everything she had ever wanted in a man. Even though he probably don't love her like before, he would definitely come around. Agatha shrugged. “Why not just see what happens? I know you and Arthur are in love, but a bit of fun won’t hurt. I’ll tell you a secret, Kenric’s family has chests of gold and great titles. He’s just as rich as Author or perhaps more rich.!”“What?”Elara’s mouth fell open. ‘Why did I never meet a rich noble before, but now that I’m married, even a man I just met is wealthy?’Because Kenric had threatened her, Agatha had to keep praising him. She leaned in. “Elara, Arthur might one day find out about you and Gideon Sterling. Also, you treated Arthur badl
Episode 89
The day before, Kenric had purposely came to Agatha father's inn to drink. Since his discussion with Lord Gideon, Kenric had instantly wanted Elara. He even sworn to himself that he would make her his own. So, Lord Gideon gave him the idea to use Elara’s friend, Agatha, to get near her! Kenric slept with Agatha that very night.He even made Agatha promise to help him win Elara's favor. He threatened her by saying he would destroy her husband’s job and her father's inn. Agatha did not want to cause trouble between Elara and Arthur, but to save her husband from disgrace, she had to agree. Agatha turned to the man, her expression neutral. "Elara, may I introduce you to Kenric Corner. Sir, this is my friend, Elara Peckham." Agatha said. When Kenric saw Elara, he was stunned by her beauty. He could not look away from her face. He said out loudly, "Goodness me! Are you truly real? You must be a goddess from the heavens! How can such a beautiful lady exist in this world?" Kenric was
Episode 88
Agatha was in her inn. She sat hunched near the bar. She was holding a piece of parchment in her hand. It was from Elara. Agatha's eyes traced the parchment one last time as a genuine smile spread across her face. Elara had just wrote to her that she pregnant. Agatha smiled and folded the parchment neatly, tucking it into the bodice of her simple wool gown. Just then, a figure leaned against the the wooden table bar directly in front of her. He was tall, dressed in a finer-spun tunic and hose than most SqudCity men. He was, to be blunt a handsome man. Agatha’s breath stopped. By the saints, she thought, if a maiden were to draw a picture of her heart’s desire, it would be this man. He was a hundred times more handsome than her own husband. Snapping back to the moment, Agatha gave a quick, professional nod, her smile returning as she reached for the pewter tankard. "What may I draw for you, fine sir? A cup of our best ale?" Looking at the man, it was clear that he was not a l
