Summary
No matter which answer she gave, she would be wrong, so she hesitated. "I am not born to that, your Grace." It was all she could do not to turn to see if anyone had overheard. Her uncle would rebuke her for saying 'no' and never forgive her for achieving a higher place this day than Hero's. "I beseech your Grace pardon me."Don Pedro's expression remained open and serene. "In the briefest moment were there need." His eyes met hers, and he stepped closer. "My heart is not engaged, so it may be a jest an you wish it."Beatrice shook her head minutely, but she wasn't sure if she meant to refuse the proposal or to refuse the possibility of not taking it seriously.
