Embrace of the Enemy (Winds of Betrayal) (32 page)

“How am I to compare?”

“Then I take it as a yes. I don’t want you comparing. I want your eyes only on me,” he laughed. “This is good, but beware, Kela. I have not the best of tempers and my patience is none existent at times. I put nothing in front of my mission. Nothing.”

“Neither do I.”

His hand found my face again. “In this I know we are to fight together, be together, Kela. I don’t know why King Edulf has hidden you for these years. I don’t know why, but I do know that we are going to the Payelaga Desert. I want you there with me.”

“How? Openly flaunting…”

“I have thought of it. Johannes is going with Falco. He can help. I will take you there as my page. No one will question me. You will be beside me without question and we will see where all leads. Are you ready to meet your destiny, Kela?”

“Yes,” I said simply.
