Dangerous Masquerade The Complete Collection – Miriam Minger

Other discussions had centered upon the winter camp of the Imperial army, where the standing forces would be quartered until spring. Set in the Hungarian lowlands, the camp was a good day’s ride from Vienna. Stefan knew he would be called upon at some point during the winter to supervise his cavalry forces, for a month, maybe longer, but he hadn’t told Isabel yet.

There would be plenty of time for that, once the final date had been decided. She would no doubt be distressed to learn he was leaving again so soon. Stefan set down his half-empty glass and rubbed his hands over his eyes. What would Kassandra think of his departure? Would she also be distressed…or elated? “Milord?” Gisela’s soft inquiry intruded upon his thoughts. “Ah, Gisela, you are still up,” he murmured.

“Are you hungry, milord?” she asked. “The cook has kept a platter of beef and roasted potatoes warm for you. There was plenty left over this night, what with Countess Isabel’s usually small appetite and Lady Kassandra shut away in her room all day—” “What’s that?” Stefan queried sharply. At the maid’s surprised expression he softened his tone.

“Lady Kassandra spent the day in her room?” “Yes, milord,” Gisela replied. “She came flying into the house earlier today, slamming the doors and such, and fled straight to her room. The door has been bolted, and no one has been allowed in, not even your sister, who pleaded in vain to find out what was the matter.”

She shrugged her narrow shoulders. “Perhaps her ride this morn did not agree with her.” Stefan frowned. If Gisela only knew how right she was! He moved past her and into the hall. “I won’t be needing any dinner this night, Gisela, but my thanks. Rest well.” He turned on his heel and took the steps two at a time, the wide-eyed maid staring after him in astonishment.

Stefan strode down the hall, stopping abruptly at Kassandra’s door. He had rehearsed his words over and over during his long ride back to the estate, all the while knowing no matter how he delivered them, they would be taken as ruthless and harsh. Yet he had no choice. He couldn’t take the chance of losing her now…for both their sakes.
