Weeks passed and due to the nice weather, Edward held a feast outside and invited both Charles of Burgundy and the French Ambassador.
He was sitting with Elizabeth, Jaquetta, Baron Rivers, and numerous others of the royal court.
Shamelessly, Edward had Arthur sitting in his lap, which wasn't taken lightly by Elizabeth. Even Nora was not all that willing to let him do such a thing, but Edward, after all, was the king and she had no choice but to agree.
Despite not liking Elizabeth in the slightest, she knew it was awful of Edward to shame his own wife, his queen, in such a way. After all, he was sitting beside his wife and her family, yet held hisson from another woman, in his arms.
Nora stood a few feet away from Richard, both of them looking up into the sky as they waited for their Falcons to fly back at them.
It was sport she hadn't played in years, but of course, like before, she was quite well at it. Her father taught her how to play the sport and since then, she had mastered how to beat her opponent.
Richard frowned as he looked up, seeing that Nora's falcon was coming to her much faster than his own.
A defeated look appeared on his face, realizing she was going to win. She began to smirk in satisfaction, extending her arm out before tapping on it. Within no time, her hawk landed on her gloved wrist, causing her to smirk in satisfaction.
"Well done, Nora!" Edward exclaimed, he and the rest of the attendants clapping for Nora's victory.
Arthur giggled, cheering for his mother as well. Nora smiled at her son, sending him a small wave before bowing to the royal court.
She turned her head, quietly chuckling as she watched Richard's hawk just arrive.
Edward turned to Richard and gave him a questioning look. His youngest brother shrugged, causing Edward to begin to laugh as he sat back down in his seat between Charles of Burgundy and Elizabeth, Arthur still sitting on his lap.
"She'll have a fight on her hands against my brother George. He has none of Richard's chivalry and he doesn't like to lose," Edward explained with a smile on his face.
He turned to look at Arthur, a smile on his face. "I suppose your mother and George have that in common," He whispered to his son as he tapped him on the nose, causing Arthur to giggle.
Wanting to take a break before going up against George, Nora walked over to the table filled with platters of food.
She picked a strawberry up, on the verge of biting into it when she saw Lord Warwick walking up to her. "Lord Warwick," She greeted him politely, not wanting to show her disdain for him.
