William's rising star at court and the offering of trust in handling the negotiations was all beautifully realized. He enters into things whole heartedly, endeavoring to do his best to serve his king. It was wonderful to expose the small group of Saxons to some of the warmth and hospitality he had enjoyed. That should go a long way toward the groups trusting one another.

William's traitorous brothers were an unwelcome surprise, though the threat was cleverly handled in the short term. Harold and Liam are not going to stop until William is dead, so the threat is still strong. Everyone keeping quiet about William's daughter is interesting, though I can understand their respect for the woman keeping them from gossip. Is Ingiund negotiating a husband for Buffy? I certainly hope so.

Author's Response: I'm pleased that the weaving of the story works for you, this chapter was fun to write...

Please, please say it's to be with Buffy! I sort of felt this might be coming, but still wonder if it will be between them or perhaps a daughter of granddaughter of Ingimund's.
And of course William's brothers (and Liam!) would be causing trouble first chance they get! As if that isn't one of time's oldest themes. I hope they get their comeuppance asap and their miserably shrewish wives sent to convents (but not anywhere near where Conner or Eirik might raid and unknowingly bring them north!
Still with ya, still loving it. Am a bit behind on reading this week, beta duties (Oww! Mistress Maddonna, I'll type faster!) coming mostly first along with the hassle of RL's monthly visits to the less than sterling excuse that is US health care...Just didn't want ya to think that you weren't being appreciated!
Hope to see more from you, and as ALWAYS ---->>>SOON!

Author's Response: thanks for the review. how evil do you want me to be?? glad you like the story, more soon

Thanks for the shout out hon - you know I'm enjoying your story and all the little tidbits that should be taken into account for this particualr era - its necessary in order to understand the daily struggle of life. Those times were very different and much harder than people can imagine and I enjoy getting the history lessons on all the simple things that we'd normally take for granted - such as, 'they ate' - rather than knowing what it take to eat a meal. Hope that made sense, giggles.


Loved this chapter - even though I despise William's conniving brothers. And just that last sentence about a marriage has filled me with hope - oh pleeeeeeeeeeeeease, you simply have to update soon, I want to know - and hope I'm right - if William is to be married to Buffy - oh please let it be so - begs on hands and knees. Luv you hon - a fab chapter indeed.

Author's Response: No supermarkets no shops and for the majority of the population if you didn't grow it or make it you didn't have it...I just want people to see what life was like. Glad you enjoyed this chapter and there will be more soon. no clues though, I'm evil

Well played! Well played indeed! HaHaHaHa

Those dirty monkeys Liam and Harold are going to be hoist by their own petard. It will serve them right for scheming with "Lady" Underwood.

Goodness, William is going to hit the roof when he finds out about Ingimund's secret condition to the treaty. Sounds like Giles knows whats the what though.... "He gave me his reasons but wanted me to tell you the price first." I wonder if Giles is at liberty to share those reasons with Athelred & William before they reply?

Interesting times ahead, to be sure.

I, personally, love the relaxing pace of the story. It really transports me to a different time and pace (pun intended). Looking forward to the next installment.

Author's Response: glad you like and thanks for the comments about the pace. I think one reviewer was expecting lots of battles and a hollywood pace, not going to happen....more soon

How very clever of you. Of course the marriage must be between William and Buffy. I can't wait to read more.

Author's Response: glad you enjoyed...marriages were often used to seal great treaties at the time....and like your thinking about the participants

oh my god please tell me it's buffy! It has to be buffy. Did Ingiund meet william when he was with buffy? I can't remember (please don't kill me). It's got to be buffy.
I know i don't review often (and you probably have absolutely no idea who i am) but i never have time. I just wanted to tell you that i dont think this story is moving too slow, it's perfect. Any faster and it would be ruined. (i wouldn't complain about more updates though hint hint :P )

Author's Response: I am so glad you are enjoying the sory and I update when ever my muse allows, believe me there are no hidden chapters on my computer...If you read back Ingimund was fascinated that William had tamed Buffy...more when I can

Still loving it - worth the wait every time. And what a joy to read historical fiction by a writer who is prepared to research a bit of fact! How rare that is...W:>

Author's Response: thanks for the review. I teach viking and saxon history, especially of the wirral, and Ingimund's arrival is one of those moments in history when so much changes in a short time. I love the period ...glad you are enjoying the story and glad you like the history bit

Oh.... That William managed to get a good bargain is good (positive) but at his court back home, seems there is were the real danger lies. And again his brothers. So having Giles with him (as a witness and writing it all down) may have saved his life.
You're evil, you know that? ;-) Not so evil if Ingimund has Buffy in mind for the female part. But I don't know that... would be a shame if William had to marry somebody else :(
I hope you won' go that way. Though it would be a neat way to to get Buffy back into the play.

‘A marriage: he wants William.’ - Kinky!

I really hope those two crazy kids (the North Lord and William) are happy together :)! Unless of course he has someone else in mind. Gee, who could that be!

As much as I wish you could write faster, I do enjoy the surprise of when this will be updated - it's a happy little bounce when I see the update.

First of all, I have to say I'm adoring the pacing of the story. It just feels... right. Good things can't be rushed after all. ;)

Regarding the chapter, I just hate Liam and Harold, I'm glad their ploy didn't work this time, but I fear they will try again. And about William's marriage, while I hope Ingimund is thinking of marrying him to Buffy, I just know it can't be that easy. Anyway, fantastic update, darling! I'm looking forward to more. :D

Author's Response: glad you enjoyed. and I'm glad you liked the pace. i got a complaint and a comment that I was losing readers but I'm not going to change the story to please one reader...and No it won't be that easy, but wait and see... and as for Harold and Liam, well good things come to those who wait

As I was reading about the negotiations I kept wondering if Ingimund was going to request a permanent tie between his people and William's... looks like I was right! :D Loved the chapter!

Author's Response: a permanent ans solid tie. if it all goes OK. hope you enjoy the rest and thanks for the review
