of the bed, removing his surcoat and chainmail. Amelie turned to him, tears running down her cheeks. "Have you ever regretted marrying me?" she asked.

Daken lay down beside her. "Of course not. You are everything to me. I love you." He kissed her.

"All the women on the street think you could have married the daughter of a baroness, maybe even a duchess. My father couldn’t even pay a dowry."

He looked at her quizzically. "I was a corporal at the time. I had a good house, a horse and I didn’t have to support my sisters. What in Gaiadom would I do with a dowry?"

"If only you hadn’t wasted your life on me," she said, tears glistening on her cheeks, "you could have owned land and bought everything you want, if only you hadn’t wasted your life on me."

Daken embraced and kissed her. "I have everything I want."

They lay silent in the darkness for a time. Daken spoke, "Do you remember the first time we met?"

"Of course. Your regiment was passing through my village, and the officers stayed the night at my father’s mill because there wasn't an inn.

There you were on your big horse and shining armor, and I thought you to be a pompous idiot. And there I was, head downcast and caked with mill dust, and you thought I was the most beautiful girl in the world."

"You are," mumbled Daken offhandedly.

Amelie let out a small giggle. "Always so charming."

Daken said, "And then when we talked that night, and despite my bad Sybürmian, I knew I loved you. You’re the most amazing woman that ever existed." He kissed her again.

At the same time, Jaku arrived at Maruc’s manor, his bodyguards behind him. Maruc himself answered the door. Jaku puffed, "We’ve got a problem."
