Chapter 53 Chapter 53

I looked back at her hastily. "Forgive me, my queen. I am distracted." "Then the angry look on your face wasn't aimed at me?" "No. That's . . . another thing bothering me. I have nothing but worry about you, not anger. Can you mount a mate and let me take you back to Buckkeep?" "I want to see Verity." "My queen, he will not be happy to see you like this." She winced with a sigh, looked away from me, and asked more calmly, "Don't you ever want to spend time with other people, Fitz, whether they're welcome or not? Don't you know my lonely?"

I understand. "I understand that being his concubine should be a sacrifice for Buckkeep, but at any rate... I am a woman and his wife, and I am more willing to fulfill my duties as a wife, but he rarely comes to me, even if he does. I left after saying a few words." She turned around and looked at me, with tears glistening on her eyelashes.She wiped away her tears, and said angrily, "You said it was my duty to be the queen of Buckkeep. Well, I can tell you that I can't possibly be pregnant by sleeping alone like this night after night! " "My queen, please calm down." I begged her with a hot face.

She continued relentlessly. "I went straight to his room last night without waiting, but the guard said he had already left the room and went to the beacon tower." She turned her head away, "Even that job is worse than sharing my bed. It's more important!" Her painful words really couldn't hide the hurt in her heart. I'm dizzy over things I don't want to know.Kettricken lay alone in the cold bed, and Verity could not resist the temptation of the Skill in the night.However, I didn't know which was worse, so I said in a trembling voice: "Don't tell me these things, my queen. It's not right to tell me these things..."

"Then let me go to him and explain it face to face. I know he needs to hear this, and I just want to say it! Even if he has thousands of unwillingness in his heart, he has to accompany me for his responsibilities." Makes sense.If the number of wolves is to increase, she must continue the family. Leave it alone.go home. Home!There was a mocking bark in my heart.Home is a place where wolves congregate, not a deserted place. Listen to what she said, everything makes sense.We all have to be with our leader, and you'd be foolish to worry about this she-wolf.Her hunting skills are superb, she has sharp teeth, and she kills her prey cleanly.I saw her yesterday, really worthy of our leader.

We are not the same wolf pack.Quiet. I'm.I caught some movement out of the corner of my eye, turned around quickly but saw nothing.I looked back and saw Kettricken standing still before me, and I felt her former rage soaked in pain, her steadfast determination ebbing like blood. I said calmly in the wind: "My queen, please let me take you back to Buckkeep." She didn't respond, just put her hat on tight over her face, and mounted her mule, begging me to take her back to Buckkeep.Her oppressive silence made the walk longer and colder, and I'm not proud of her transformation.I turned my attention to myself, and it didn't take me long to find the pup.It stalked us like a wisp of smoke from the treetops, covering itself with wind-blown leaves and falling snow.I can't confirm that I actually saw it, but I caught a little movement out of the corner of my eye, and a scent it left in the wind.It has really great instincts.

Do you think I can hunt? Wait until you are ready to obey.I answered sternly. So what do I do when my lone wolf hunts alone?It gets angry when stimulated. We approached the outer walls of Buckkeep, and I wondered how it came out of the castle without the gate. Want me to show you?It proposes peacefully. Maybe when I bring the meat!I feel it agrees.Instead of following us, it ran away so quickly that I could see it when I got to the cabin.The guard at the gate questioned me awkwardly, so I officially identified myself, and the sergeant wisely asked me not to identify the lady next to me.I stopped my partner in the courtyard to let the queen down, and when I reached out to help her climb down, I felt someone watching me, and when I turned around, I saw Molly.She was carrying two buckets of water that had just been drawn from the well, and stood there like a deer about to jump, looking at me motionless.Her eyes were deep, her face was solemn, she turned stiffly, and then walked across the courtyard to the kitchen entrance without looking back, and I felt a cold foreboding in my heart.Then, Kettricken let go of my hand and tightened the cloak around her body, said softly without looking at me, "Thank you, Fitzhorse," and walked slowly towards the door.

I took the buddy back to the stable and tended him when Hands came over and gave me a wink and I nodded and he went about his business.Sometimes that's what I admire about Shou, that is, he ignores things that don't concern him. I mustered up the courage to prepare for the next step.I went to the back of the sports corral and watched a wisp of smoke rise, and smelled the pungent smell of burnt fur, and as I got closer I saw Burrich standing by the fire watching it burn, though the snow kept trying to blow it away. But Burrich was determined to keep the fire burning.He saw me coming and didn't look at me or talk to me, his eyes were like two black holes full of numb pain, he would get angry if I dared to speak, but I didn't come for him.I drew a knife from my waist and cut off a finger-length lock of hair, put it in the woodpile and watched it burn.Tigress, a most excellent female hound.Then, I remembered something and said aloud, "It was with me when Regal first saw me, sitting by and growling at him."

Burrich nodded his approval after a moment, simply because he had been there.So I turned and left slowly. My next stop is the kitchen.I stole some meaty bones left over from yesterday, not very fresh, but passable.The pup was right, he was going to be hunting alone soon, and Burrich's pain made me renew my resolve.A tigress was long for a hound, but too short for Burrich.Bonding with animals is incurring future pain for yourself, and my heart has been broken enough times. As I walked towards the cabin, I wondered what to do.When I realized that something was wrong and raised my head suddenly, I only felt the weight of its whole body pressing on me.It rushed over like a flying arrow, crossed the snow, pushed its whole weight to my back knee, put it on my shoulders and pressed me down.Its strength caused my whole face to be buried in the snow, and when I raised my head and supported my body with my arms, it quickly sprang towards me.I waved my hand but couldn't stop it, and then it ran, digging its sharp claws into my skin.Got you, got you, got you!It comes alive.

I was just about to stand firm when it launched an offensive and threw me all over me.I lifted my forearm to keep it from my throat and face, and it growled in mock concern, and I lost my balance again and fell to the snow under its attack.I reached out and grabbed it in my arms and we just kept rolling in the snow.It kept biting me, and it hurt a little, but it was always playful.
