Henry gestured towards the door. "Shall we? I have some Italians to meet."
Richard almost asked whether this unexpected royal visit had anything to do with Livia. He stopped himself.
There were still boundaries between them, even after everything they had said today, and Livia remained one of them.
Perhaps she always would.
Richard could accept that she loved Henry. He could accept that she intended to marry him and become his queen.
But he would always worry about her. That was not going to change.
Richard parted from them soon afterwards. Henry and Geoffrey travelled to Eltham Palace, where the Italian royal household had been lodged away. The Italians had arrived late the previous night.
Geoffrey had already seen that suitable chambers were prepared for them. Their arrival was announced ahead of them.
