CHAPTER 26 - Till Death Do Us Part - PART 2

PORT OF ACRE, THE HOLY LAND

Once they had arrived in the Holy Land, Katherine talked with the locals and did her part in helping the sheriff get his secret headquarters for where they would enact their plan. Vaisey had the woman change into the formal wear of the place, wearing white Jilbab's with trousers to match underneath. The two sisters had never matched so perfectly with their outfits before until now. The men almost could have sworn they were identical if it wasn't for the difference in their eye color or facial structures.

Guy remained looking at his lover with a look of worry. He had tried speaking with her, but Katherine would just remain silent, making him wonder what her thoughts were on everything. He couldn't help the fear running through him as he started to think that maybe her opinion of him had changed- that Marian had gotten into her head.

All he wanted was to protect her and keep her safe, but the Knight felt he was failing his future bride. And it didn't help that her sister betrayed both of their trusts.

Nighttime rolled around and Vaisey had Marian chained up in the cellar, making sure the most dangerous one of the bunch was contained as Katherine remained in the sights of the sheriff and Guy, learning where her place was. The brunette still remained silent, speaking only when spoken to by the sheriff, but her thought stirring with plans.

They were interrupted by a knock at the door. Guy leaned against it, readying his sword as they slowly opened it to see a Saracen man. He held out his ring with the familiar insignia, showing they were on the same side. "Sheriff."

Vaisey chuckled, letting him in. "Nasir, my dear boy." He motioned as the man walked inside along with another man who was gigantic and intimidating, towering over everyone with a scowl.

"Karim." His friend introduced them. They looked around before spotting Katherine sitting upon a mat, surprised to see they brought a woman along. "Is this woman in on the plans?"

Guy walked forward, "This is my future wife, Katherine."

"She's been very useful, helping us get this place. She speaks your language." Vaisey chuckled.

Nasir raised an eyebrow, asking her in the language. "Hal hdha sahih?" (Is that so?)

"Nem saydi. 'Afahamik." (Yes sir, I understand you.)

Both men nodded before looking back to the sheriff. "So, what is our plan?" Nasir asked.

"You are going to visit King Richard." Vaisey handed him a medallion covered in a silk cloth. "You are Saladin's new messenger."

"Saladin's royal seal," he commented, "Where did you get this?"

The sheriff grinned, showing the gap from his missing tooth. "Saladin's old messenger." He responded.

"But there is also a password."

"Yes, it's very difficult getting that. It's like pulling teeth, and it was!" He exclaimed to the men in the room. "Pulling teeth..." Vaisey chuckled, indicating.

"When we get in, I kill him?" Karim finally spoke.

"No, no, no. You won't get within a thousand yards of the kings tent." He pointed to Nasir. "I want you to lure him out."

Katherine and Guy exchanged a look with each other as they both listened in on this.

"How?"

"By telling him what he wants to hear: Peace." Both men smirked at each other. "Nothing can stop us now." The sheriff stated confidently.
