"I told Lord Hastings to keep it between the men, but he wanted to introduce his wife to the queen. Young love," Joel mockingly said. "It'll pass."
Edward chuckled. He understood what Dante felt at the moment, but he agreed with Joel that it would pass. There were too many beautiful women around to stay in love with one.
It wouldn't be long before Dante learned what a woman's duties were like, needing to stay silent.
"Then, let the women go off, and the men speak. We have much to talk about," said Edward.
"Isn't it a bit rude to ask that I leave my wife's side? She was excited about the palace and being at my side. We should save talking about the truce for the morning and drink as much as we want tonight. It is time to celebrate," Dante said, earning a few cheers from nearby eavesdropping men.
