“I hear that the Sheriff has asked you for lessons in German...”
It is not a question, but there’s a mischievous glint in Marian’s eyes that gives the Count cause to hesitate.
“Why do you ask?” he responds.
She saunters forward, intent on getting an answer. “You know it’s just a ploy to make you drop your guard later, so he can squeeze every last coin from your coffers, don’t you?”
He cocks an eyebrow at her. “What exactly do you have in mind?”
Several hours later at the banquet in honour of the visiting noble, the Sheriff stands and proclaims to the oblivious crowd gathered before him that his mother was a hamster and his father smelt of elderberries.
It’s all Marian can do not to splutter her wine all over the table as she catches the eye of her partner in crime, and he gives her the most wicked grin imaginable.
