Sir. Hadrian
VS
Lord Rowan
VS
Lord Rowan
I'll never forget the day that I met my knight. I was in the palace with the other people, watching the knighting ceremony. The serfs and peasants in the back, the other knights in the center, and the nobles sitting up front. We had the best view. I was the only lady without a knight, and the king Charlemagne said that the newest knight, Sir.Hadrian was to be mine. My personal servant Ayleth noticed that I was blushing just looking at Hadrian. She touched my light blue dress and whispered "Lady Arabella, are you already taking a fancy to that new knight?"
Not wanting to answer this, I shushed Ayleth so that I could watch the dubbing. After that I was to stand by my new knight. Sir.Hadrian put a gloved hand on my shoulder and I officially accepted him as my knight.
Lord Rowan, who also was madly in love with me, walked straight up and whispered "Arabella, don't you go getting all 'fancy' with that new knight of yours, or I'll have him killed. Remember, I CAN."
Those final and true words, I CAN send chills down my spine. Because nobles had higher status than knights, they could do pretty much anything they wanted to them. But maybe since Hadrian was MY knight, I'd be able to kiss him and protect him at the same time. I was a noble, after all.
The ceremony ended, and we celebrated with a ball and a feast in honor of Sir.Hadrian's appointment to knight. King Charlemagne and Queen Peronell got the best food, but so did Hadrian and I because this was kind of OUR celebration. Only peasants and serfs that Hadrian and I had invited personally were allowed to come. I had invited Ayleth, another servant named Beatrix, and several others. I was rather worried about what lord Rowan had up his sleeve for Hadrian and I, especially considering that we were dancing the whole night. Not to mention that our parents have been rivals since they were kids, and now though Rowan says that he likes me, I know that he's up to something. My knight should do the protecting, but will I end up protecting my knight?
more of the story coming soon.
