Since it's been forever, here's a scene from Crown Restored.
"Oh, Huckleberry, do you think I need to wait until someone comes into power? The throne is mine."
"Of course, it is, but there's a reason you've not gone after your throne," he said.
She nodded. There was a reason but it wasn't something she could share. Although, Huck would be the only one she could trust.
"Let's just say it suited me to wait."
"Well, it suits Richard to have you fly back to Lorvena. We'll take off in the morning," he said.
"And if I say differently?"
Huck and Richard didn't dictate her life.
"Apparently, I'm to mention a Nancy Holland if you didn't want to leave so soon," he said.
She closed her eyes and pictured the nun who put everything on the line to protect the throne. If her uncle even stepped foot in the convent, she'd kill him. He'd already taken her parents. Julian wouldn't take the woman who helped sneak her in and out of the country.
"Is she hurt?" she asked, opening her eyes.
"Not to my knowledge. Richard didn't say anything but her name. Who is this woman to you?"
"A nun," she said as she slung her bow over her head.
"A nun?"
She nodded as she gathered the rest of her arrows. Huck grabbed her arrows in the target.
"She's not a threat to me."
"Damaris, I don't know if you consider anyone a threat. My question is, does this nun make you vulnerable?"
"She won't betray me."
"Not the question I asked. Is she a weakness for you?" he asked as he placed the arrows in the quiver still on her back.
"Maybe."
"So yes," he said. "Where is this convent? I'll place a team around it."
"What?" she asked as she spun around to look up at him. "You want to place your guys around the convent for protection."
"Some will be women, but yes. I'll place a team in the area," he said.
"Why?"
"Because this nun means a lot to you and I don't want your uncle to use her against you," he said.
"Thank you," she said as she leaned up on her toes and kissed his cheek.
