This is something I particularly liked about the book – that they open to each other and actually talk. Their conversations are lively but they also learn a lot about the other, and it’s easy to see the relationship blossoming. She means to upbraid him for not going on the quest and ends up receiving a kiss from him. (This alone really endeared him to me!) From the moment he and Brianna meet, there are definite sparks.
Instead he stays to tend the castle’s neglected gardens.
Luc is determined not to go in Brianna’s quest. Luc is the eldest son who has cast off his knight’s armor to be a farmer. Brianna hopes that somehow she can win the castle back for her father while the sons are gone. They must find a gift that will make her laugh. In order to stall for time she demands that all three sons must go on a bride quest. Brianna is adamant that she won’t she insists upon marrying only for love. When Princess Brianna’s home, Tullymullagh, is conquered, the king demands that the princess marry one of the conquering knight’s sons. It’s a wonderfully fun read and it simply made me smile. Delacroix spins a lyrical, whimsical story worthy of a bard’s tale. If you want to hearken back to a time of knights and damsels, of chivalry and bards and tales of true love, The Princess is the book to take you there.
