But, she made the rules.Mary decided what was punishable and what was worthy of reward!Another three months came and went.Georg begged her to be allow...d to wear summer dresses and knickersinstead of the maid's uniforms that filled his wardrobe. She relentedbut then told him that his figure was really not suitable and that ifhe wished to wear the dresses that she chose for him, then he wouldhave to wear a boned corset in addition to the girdle.A week later he gave in and she laced the corset. "That's Harry, her ex-husband. I don't recall inviting him, but what the hell, dad liked him and he seemed fond of dad so I guess it is okay that he's here."I suppose that it might have been okay if I hadn't seen him put his hand on my wife's ass and her make no move to push it away. Blame my suspicious nature, a nature nurtured by two cheating ex-wives, but I started keeping an eye on two. When they looked around to see if anybody was watching and then slipped outside I was right behind them.. A female squire had recently challenged him. (Honestly, I don’t recall what that challenge was about) The Knight accepted the challenge and named it to be in heavy steel combat. The squire protested that she had no weapon to contest him on that field. I offered her use of my sword. This was the point of honor Sir Steibhian wished to talk to me about. He felt that by loaning her a blade, I was supporting her challenge. I tried to convince him I was not supporting the woman’s side, just enabling. If that bastard had done anything to her… His thoughts were interrupted by Sophie stirring beside him, and she turned around and snuggled into him, pressing her face into the hollow of his neck and shoulder. ‘Mmmm, you smell good,’ she murmured, sleepily. Daniel felt his heart skip a beat. Finding her nose, he kissed the tip of it, smiling as he spoke: ‘So do you. Your hair smells nice.’ Sophie smiled at him, and though he could not see it, he felt her cheeks curl up, found the indentations.
