" Only Merlin and her guards ever woke her in the mornings, and her guards only shouted to her through the doors.
Britt picked her head off her pillow. “Merlin?”
Merlin, once again standing out in the hallway, hissed through the door.“You’re still in bed.”
“Yeah, so?”
“It is indecent for you to allow a man into your bedchambers when you are still in bed!”
Britt rolled her eyes and sat up. “What did you want?”
“Get up. We’re going to mass.”
“No, we’re not. You might be, but I’m not.”
“Oh yes you are, you little heathen.”
“It’s boring. The pastor only talks in Greek or Hebrew or whatever that language is.”
“He’s the archbishop, and he conducts the service in Latin.”
“Mmm, yeah that,” Britt said, falling back into her bed with a thump.
“Do not lie back down you unschooled foundling!”
“Too late,” Britt said. “If you want me to go to mass you’re going to have to drag me out of here. How indecent would that be? "
