She pursed her lips as he explained why she had been so over charged and it infuriated her she could not argue back against him. She knew very well that the towns were too afraid to trade with her for fear of her uncles wrath, and she had forbidden him any looting prior to her recent financial struggle. She watched his eyes grow mysteriously hungry and she knew the next thing out of his mouth was something she would not want to hear. But when he spoke she froze, her eyes widened slightly as her lips rounded in surprise. The purse fell from her hand on to the floor with a loud thunk and yet she made no motion to pick it up. 'Should I...' She thought thinking about how it was better then him handing her over to her uncle. And if handed over, her fat bald greasy uncle would just do the same thing as Oliver had requested, at least Oliver was a very attractive man. Her face grew contemplative, she was actually considering it, then she shook her head to clear the thought away " I'm a queen not a whore." She said nose in the air eyes closed. When she realized she looked a little ridiculous from her overly regal stance she lowered her eyes back to the man who was winning her war for her.
He was defiantly attractive, and she would lying if she hadn't thought about him in such a way before. She had traveled dinned and kept company with him for the entire campaign and though he infuriated her most of the time he was invigorating company, which was her favorite type. She bit her lip nervously chewing at it between her teeth, a bad habit. She didn't know when money was coming and she was a fool if she didn't notice how antsy and restless the men of the campaign had become. "If looting is to happen your men will go disguised in my uncles livery or dressed as hill tribesmen. No one is to have proof it's the landless bastard, you understand, these are my conditions, otherwise I'll hand my self to my uncle and you with me. And he has just as much a distaste for you as he does me." she hated he idea that men that were representing her would be killing innocent, stealing and raping, but much worse would happen to the country if she did not get the crown of her uncles head. Already famine was rearing its head as winter approached, and the capital with empty stores of grain.
She looked back at him from the corner of her eye sizing him up. He had fought hard today she knew it but he seemed both unharmed and completely rested. She had a very practical thought to convince herself, more then Oliver, that it was a bad idea to agree to his conditions "anyway I need my maiden head for marriage, foolish I know, common girls are allowed to enter into matrimony with out her maiden head, but I may not." She said in a matter of fact way. She shook a little nervous at his lust filled eyes on her grey ones, or as they devoured her body visually, she feared she didn't have away out of this tent in one piece.
