Excerpt:
“He’s about to bind you to…” Finna’s voice trailed off and she pointed at Erik. “To him for life.”
“Father, no!” Bera rushed over.
“He is strong and a good provider,” the King said. “He has promised you will be well cared for and we were about to discuss the bride price.”
“I hope it includes a washing bowl,” Finna said under her breath.
Erik shot her a dangerous look, and then somewhere in his mind muddled by anger, desire, and ale, he remembered falling into the manure pile. Of course this wench was right in that he needed to wash his clothes, but surely women wouldn’t be so petty as to hold something like that against a man?
“Silence!” the King roared at Finna.
Bera gently touched Finna’s arm. The women exchanged glances, and Finna returned to her place by the fire.
“Father, please. I don’t want to marry him!”
“Bera, calm yourself,” Asgerd said softly, but the dark-haired beauty was too furious to pay attention.
She glared at Erik, her little nose wrinkled in disdain, and said, “We already have two offers. I prefer one of them.”
Erik could scarcely believe what he was hearing. She was rejecting him?
Yikes what a predicament to be in!
I love this, Kate!
