Chapter 2

Nineteen years ago Uther's P.O.V

Once I saw the smile on the face of the woman now known as Hunith I knew she was planning something and whatever it was it was not going to end well foe me. After starring at her for awhile I finally asked if she knew of a place were I could stay for the time while I am here. Her reply shocked me, she said "Nonsense while you are here you are going to stay at my house and help around there, then after that you are going to help work on the crops." I didn't know how to respond to that, what kind of woman would just let a complete stranger, a man no less stay at her house even if they say they would help, especially if she lived alone. Then it came to me I actually don't know if she lives alone or not. That's how I found myself asking "are you sure your husband would be alright with me staying there with you guys?" I did not think I could be possible, but her smile grew even larger "good thing we don't have to worry about that then since I'm single ,isn't it ?" I was stunned Hunith was single and would let me stay at her house for all she knew I could try to take advantage of her or I could be the type of person who gets kicks out of murdering helpless women. I let myself sigh this is going to be a long stay.

Hunith's P.O.V

I heard Charels sigh, I know he thinks it is weird that a non-married woman would let a man stay at her house, but I have enough faith in myself to know I would be just fine with a man staying with me plus the fact that I fill as if I could trust Charels even if I just met him. I know it's strange to be that trusting but just by looking at him I can tell he is a good man. So with that thought I started walking away. When I was a few feet away I looked over my shoulder and yelled "you coming or what I'm only going to show you the way once so I suggest you pay attention." Then I went back to walking, I knew Charels was fallowing me by the sound of the horses shoes hitting the ground. Once again I found myself smiling I was going to make Charels work until he drops from exhaustion.
