"I am not married," Annalise answered, pulling her hand away from Giselle. "Rafael has just ordered everyone to address me as the lady of the manor."
"Without a ring? That is odd," Giselle said, confused as to why a ring wasn't on Annalise's finger if Rafael would go so far as to give her that title. "See to it that he proposes to you before you do anything with him. Do not let him dangle that title in your face, but not make it official with a ring. It has happened a few times where men ended up marrying someone else so the title meant nothing to the women they led on."
"Rafael isn't a fool to lead me on. I just might kill him," Annalise said, watching Heidi walk up the steps.
"You'll kill the commander of knights? That's funny," Giselle chuckled, playfully tapping Annalise's arm. She never heard of a woman so crazy to think she could kill Rafael.
