it is a measure of a man, any man, be he married to a pub…
““it is a measure of a man, any man, be he married to a pub wench or a princess, how he cares for his bride. I am a Drakkar. My measure is different than any man’s and there are many facets to that but one of them explains why I turn away without a thought from those whose lifeblood seeps into the snow. Those who moved with intent to harm my bride. And I won’t think of them, ever. I will only turn my mind to how I can best care for my bride and that now includes undermining any threat that may loom for you. And I vow to you, my princess, if it means my own life, this will not happen.””
