CHAPTER 19 - Never Let You Go

NOTTINGHAM CASTLE

In preparation for today's events, Guy found pretty silk dresses of different colors and prints as a gift for Katherine. Things seemed to be returning to normal for them and he only wanted to offer her the best he could offer. Making his way to her room, he knocked on the door, waiting in anticipation for her reaction to his surprises.

Greeting him at the door with her usual bright smile, he hid the dresses behind his back. "Good morning, Guy!" She ushered him into the room. "Come in."

"Morning Katherine." He smiled warmly, watching as she finished brushing out her hair. "I've brought something for you."

He handed the dresses to her as she exclaimed happily. "Oh, thank you. But what is the occasion?" Katherine asked, looking confused over the gesture. Last she checked their relationship was rocky and she wasn't quite sure where they stood to be honest.

"I was wondering if you'd accompany me to the celebrations today?"

"Celebrations?"

"The King's birthday."

This caused her eyes to widen as she observed the dresses, thinking back to the conversation she overheard of him and the sheriff's plans to attack King Richard. A perplexed look came his way. "Guy, what's really going on?"

"Does it matter?" He asked defensively, noticing the look she was giving. Katherine nodded, the look on her face saying a thousand words. There was to be no secrets or lies between them. Sighing, the Knight began to explain. "It's the signing of an important document."

"If it's a document coming from the sheriff, It's never anything good. I can't approve." Katherine told him, speaking the truth.

"Well, you should approve." He stated, walking up towards her with his arms crossed. "This document brings me closer to real power...and that in turn benefits you." Guy paused, leaning in towards her with a serious look. Katherine gave him a questioning look before catching onto what he was meaning. "Could...benefit you. In time."

Her heart began to race, wondering if he was talking about her being his wife. She couldn't help the blush on her cheeks, looking to the Knight with a small smile. Katherine cleared her throat as he continued.

"Meanwhile, there is a pretty dress in it for you."

She chuckled playfully. "Am I to be bought with dresses?" He stared at her before a smirk came to his lips, seeing her show off a blue gown. "What do you think of this one?" Holding it up to her body, Katherine wanted to tease him into imagining how it would look on her. Guy swallowed, doing exactly what she thought he would and imagining her in the dress. Seeing he was silenced, she spoke. "It's settled then. I choose this one."

Catching the pleased smirk on her face, he turned around and walked away with the same reaction. That would teach him to say such a thing to her. Katherine wasn't afraid to fight back with him playfully.

Knowing something fishy was going on, they happened to find out the scribe had been killed, only raising their suspicions further.
