Lyall had served his liege for nearly nine years and never had he seen Orpheus bend and break his regulations for anyone. And what no other man or woman on Ethuaria had ever been able to accomplish, this petite lady with fight in her had.
It was a shock and a wonder not only for Lyall but also for the Walcian generals who chose silence as well.
"Greetings, my lady," Lyall replied, hoping his voice did not convey his confusion to the lady.
Lady Karina smiled faintly, the dimple in her left cheek deep. But for lack of anything more to say to the man, she faced forward and gave a pat to her little mare, but the horse reared high suddenly, her front hooves pawing at the air.
The sweet mare had been startled by the snorting of the warhorses that were much larger and more intimidating than her.
Another one of the warhorses nickered loudly, startling the mare into a panic and rather than being thrown off, Lady Karina leapt off her mare and amazingly landed on her feet.
