  “We will help them together,” the Duc said, “just as, my precious little love, we will do everything together, you and I, especially schooling our horses.”

  “I thought I was barred from the riding school,” Canèda teased him.

  “You will certainly not be allowed there when the young Officers are having their lessons,” the Duc said. “Not only would you make it impossible for them to concentrate on what I am telling them, but I shall be an extremely jealous husband.”

  His voice deepened as he went on,

  “If I see you looking in that provocative way from under your eyelashes at any other man, I shall most certainly lock you up in the dungeons – and you will never, my adorable one, never again wear a pink riding habit!”

  Canèda laughed.

  “I wanted to attract your attention ”

  “You did that, but I will not allow any other man to notice you in the same way.”

  Canèda looked at him with a little smile on her lips.

  Then he said,

  “Of course I am mad to give up my quiet well-organised life for you. I am well aware of the tortures you will inflict on me.”

  “You do not – have to – marry me.”

  “You are not suggesting any other relationship, I hope?”

  Canèda blushed and said quickly,

  “No, of course not. I was only saying that if you wish to be free, you can go – back to Saumac and – leave me here.”

  “And if I did, what would you feel?”

  As if the Duc frightened her, Canèda held on to him.

  “I could not bear to be so unhappy again. I love you – I love you! Please, don’t – leave me!”

  “I will never do that,” the Duc replied. “You are mine, now and forever, and, my naughty one, whether you like it or not, the moon will be a prison that you will never be able to escape from.”

  “I will never want to,” Canèda tried to say, but his lips were on hers.

  She only knew that once she was in the moon and in the Duc’s arms, all her dreams would come true.
