Chapter 47

fourth finger.”He raised his left hand, put on the ring, and opened his eyes."With this ring I married—" The sound of rain hitting the roof stopped."It is not too late to say this better" whispered Pastor Mendel.Rahang Garr convulsed.“With me respecting you, with me worshiping you.”Desperately, Annyn wished it was more than the expectation of words.“In the name of the Father,” he determines, “dan the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amin.”Then, to say the unspoken words or give the ring to the man who will be her husband, and she wonders why only the bride wears the wedding ring.

For him as a man's?However, despite being tempted to remove his worthless sword from his thumb and Garr's hand, he pushed that and completed the oath required of him."Kneel down," said the pastor, They sift, and he pleads that the blessing of the Lord be given to them.“Those who have been united by God must not be divorced from man.”Then, to the assembled people, he declared the marriage valid and lawful and declared them husband and wife.“Now we will receive Holy Communion.”All followed him to the chapel where he instructed Annyn and Garr to sieve in front of the master's table.

What followed was a blur, except for the man at Annyn's side and the sound of rain being thrown against the wall.When it came time to bow down in prayer, a veil lay upon them with Abel, Warren's Squires, Samuel, and Charles were each holding a corner.As the priest blabbed overhead, Annyn ventured to look up at Garr.His face was pressed to the floor, and the, his eyes were closed full of prayer.questioningly if he agreed with Father Mendel that their marriage felt—that the yoke of peace and love was above them.

his eyes open and meet her, then he stares with staring and smiles — tightly, but keep smiling.And interesting things!As he looked into the face, Garr felt a tug.It was good, he said, and he realized it.In him right the arrival of the unexpected Duke Henry, as angry as he was, was, she wants Annyn Bretanne—now,Ann Wulfrit.And she wants it longer than today, as her mother knows.Determined to make this marriage unlike her parents' marriage because the earth is heaven, he looked at the face on the floor again.

Finally the Mass was over and Father Mendel gave permission to Garr to receive the love of peace. When he finished, Garr returned to Annyn. "I won't last long" he murmured and pulled her into his arms. He starts from mouth to mouth, starts to come back, but when we get close and attract his attention. “Now we celebrate!” Abel landed a blow on his brother's back. In a heart lamenting the sweetness that was missing from him, Garr raised. "First, Rowan," he said, glancing at the man standing at the chapel door, the men guarding him. "To celebrate" continued Garr, "drink wine in honor of the bride and groom." Not that there is time to prepare a banquet as is commonly done at such an exhilarating event.

Abel frowned. "You intend not to celebrate?" As Garr escorted Annyn from the chapel, he felt it. True, rain would most likely hold Duke Henry of Stern all night, but he would stand no chance. "And which man doesn't want to while the bed waits?" He stepped up the stairs. On top of the excited wicket, he saw Annyn's sharp breath being drawn inwards.

But he wasn't the only one attending the lecture, as Father Mendel told him where he was trailing Garr. "What did you say?" he's asking. Garr stopped two steps down and looked at the man who was almost eye-high where he was standing on top. “My bride and I really want to pay off our wedding costs.” She didn't need to see Annyn to know her anxiety. The air buzzed with it — and murmurs from those who stopped below and above to catch the priest's response. Pastor Mendel turned the apple red. “Unheard of!” Garr shrugged his shoulders. “To today.” "It's the least appropriate." "Why?" "I ..." The priest's jaw shook. "The wedding bed has never been!" Although Garr pitied the man for all that was asked of a proper person like Father Mendel, he raised his eyebrows. “Then bless that as your duty.” He looked at his mother. "“Gar?”her mother said softly, her step into the hall where she was going to talk to Abel about Rowan."Mommy?"He glanced down.“You happy?”He's smiling."I've never seen you look prettier."Very quiet Isobel Wulfrit blushed.“It hardly flatters.”He leaned forward.“Look again in the mirror, Mom.”When he kissed her cheek like he rarely did for a few years or so, it shocked him just as much as he did.

Pouting at the burning heat of his neck, leaving him and the priest to go to the sun Bel waited for him under the stairs."And all say you are incapable of love," he scoffed.Love?All, whoever it is, it's not wrong.He felt the feelings for Annyn, but as father said, only a stupid man loves."It's been done for him from Lavonne.""Just a liability, then?"“Nothing else.”“You sure?”“No more!”Abel smiled."You protest too much, Brother.""And you have a strong imagination, sister."Started towards the sideboard where the wine was served, but she remembered Rowan.

Hall scanning revealed the man was at a lower table.Garr turned around, but instead of reprimanding Abel as it happened, he said, "S Rowan can make his bed in the tower, and, even though he has to look after her at all times."Abel smiled.Garr glared at him, the traffic to the sideboard.Five minutes, he said to himself, then I'll meet my wife.It's been done for her coming from Lavonne." "Only an obligation, if?" "Nothing else."“You sure?”“No more!”Abel smiled "You protested too much, Brother." "And you have a strong imagination, sister." Starting from the sideboard where the wine was served, but she remembered Rowan. The hall scan revealed the man was at a lower table., but instead of reprimanding Abel as to who was his muscle, he said, "Sir Rowan got his bed in the tower, and he was, although he had to look after her at all times." 'then I'll see my wife.It's been done for her to come from Lavonne." "Only an obligation, if?" "Nothing else."“You sure?”“No more!”Abel smiled "You protested too much, Brother."

Even though he must have known he had come, he leaked the wall opposite him."Don't be afraid, Dad, I'll spill it for him.""Hah," the man.In order to clear the sun, the wine goblet added to his heartbeat, Garr took off his tunic and threw it to his chest.As his mother and sister flipped, Annyn dropped her chin to deceive his hand.

When he swept back the sheets and sat beside her, he was shocked, and again when his thighs stuck to his thigh.The priest stepped forward."This," he said with a stern face, "we'll do it right."Thus, Garr's longing for his wife had to wait through five blessings.Finally, a cold holy water sprinkled on them."Peace be with you."Father Mendel got out of bed and turned off the torch, leaving only flames and candles at a nearby table to see the sun.

Then Isobel, Gaenor, and Beatrix prepared him from the sun, the latter stealing the last look of the wedding bed before the door closed.Not long after Garr turned to the woman who had been waiting, the latter stole the last look from the wedding bed, garr groaned.Half way across the sun, Annyn spun."I still can't catch my breath."Garr's longing for his wife must wait through five blessings.

And accepting his body for her would not help towards that goal. He raised his hand, then directed to encourage the disclosure of his ring. "But two hours ago I was going to be given to Lavonne, now that I'm married to you." "Is this so bad, Annyn?" Her head. “Suddenly will be a better word.” He took a step towards the bed, flipped over, and returned. "What's the problem of undressing yourself in the presence of priests?" no one told her what to expect on her wedding night.

But then, her mother had died when Annyn was young and, we showed, Rowan and her uncle had been contented raising among the things of men. The good news was that he did not cling to his chain as a barrier between them.at least, he hoped it would not be so. "It's a ceremony, Annyn." “That's what Pastor Mendel said. But why?" Can they not have this conversation later? "Finishing," said Garr, was a bit too harsh, "wedding fulfillment.

Because how can a man and woman trouble together without clothes and not know each other?” his eyes were large in flickering light. Garr hand. “You want this like me, Annyn, because we have denied ourselves. We are husband and wife now, and it's good we trouble together.” He hugged his arm in front. "Is that just the lust you feel for me?" Was it? No, he is, but not further. He felt for Annyn like it was good for a man to feel for his wife.

That's enough. He threw the blanket and dropped it on the edge of the mattress. “Close and I will show you how I feel for you, Annyn Bretanne now Annyn Wulfrith.”He does not turn. Indeed, after the initial embarrassment, he peeked closer at her. "You're well-made, Husband," she breathed, only to gasp when she realized it was falling onto her shoulder. "Will there be scars?" “But one more scar among many. Now I'll see you.” She looks, looks at him, and reveals her wedding ring. "Do I belong now, Garr?" He frowned. "If you ask if you belong to me, you can." His eyes glanced at him. “And what about you?

Are you mine?” Where's he headed with this? Or is he going anywhere? Maybe like the conversation it's just a means to avoid a bad bed. If so, it would not make Henry approach them. "sighs.
