"I have already answered that and it is my vows that prevent me from harming you. You could go grab a cleaver and try to put it in my heart, and while I would attempt to dodge, and restrain you I could never harm you." Derek said to her.

"It's still not fair. I'm being left out through no fault of my own."
Her eyes were watering and she could barely stop herself crying.
"I'm not giving up that easily. Must I speak to Lord Hightower?"

And I can't see how it's right," Mariya countered.
She thought for a moment.
"How about we make a wager? We take up wooden swords. If I can score a hit on you, you let me into the contest? If not, I'll stop pestering you."

Her eyes burned with passion as she met his gaze.
"I'd like that more than anything in this world, ser. Perhaps you think me foolish or mad, but I can think of no better life than to do brave and good deeds in the name of the Seven."
