"I did not see it, but I heard it. I think they killed someone..." she said quietly, tightening her arm around his midsection where she had draped it. "I wish the king would cancel the season and not allow such a thing anymore."
"You don't want the game to happen anymore?" came Rohan's gentle question.
No sane person would want to be part of such a game where they killed each other instead of hunting, Belle thought to herself, and then gave a small nod. He brought his other hand up and touched her nose, a crooked smile gracing his lips.
"Then I will make this year become the last time there will be such a game," he said, with a conviction that sounded like a promise.
Belle's brows drew together. "How are you going to do that? You can't change the king's mind."
