"But my lady he's nothing but a..." Thunder was ranting as the new arena grand champion Deathbringer walked in.
"Ah there you are! The hero they're all talking about. I'm impressed and that doesn't happen often. But I forgot my manners. I am Lady Grey the mayor of Bowerstone. You are a man of worth. You should pay me a visit sometime at my Bowerstone North manor."
"But my Lady!" Thunder roared, "He killed whisper!"
She turned to him in disgust. "You hang onto family ties like an old fool," Lady Grey said then turned her attention to the new hero of her interest. "Please meet me at my Bowerstone manor."
Deathbringer stared at the women as her hips swayed while she walked off.
"You killed Whisper. I will have my revenge," Thunder threatened and walked off the same direction Lady Grey did.
The Hero thought of his loving, faithful wife and then thought of Lady Grey. His wife was pretty; much prettier than most of the girls he ever met. But compared to the Lady of Bowerstone she was like a Hobbe.
She'll never find out, she lives all the way in Knothole Glade, far away from Bowerstone North the hero thought to himself.
"Oh I missed you so much! Those boots look good on you... oh I love the trousers. That chest piece is absolutely flattering on you! Did you go on a shopping spree after winning all that money in the arena?" The Hero's pretty wife Dahlia exclaimed talking about his new Dark Platemail armor.
"Yes I did. And I bought you something," Deathbringer said trying to keep composed. He actually bought her many things to make up for spending more time with Lady Grey than her. He didn't want his voice to give away something was up either.
"Thank you so much! Oh I love you!" Tears welled up in her eyes.
I wonder how much she'd cry if she found out I am dating someone else...
"You're welcome. Why don't you put the jewels on that shelf and spray yourself with some of that perfume? And if you're not full eat those chocolates."
When Dahlia didn't answer the brave hero worried. Was she mad? Did she know? She was never quiet. Not even while they were having sex.
"You... you didn't say I love you back," She explained.
[i]Shit! I always say I love you... do I still love her? I don't think I do...[i]
"I- I got to go. The Guildmaster just spoke to me on my guild seal. It's an important quest."
Deathbringer teleported away to the guild. He needed to get his mind off of things and the best way was to do a quest. Although the Guildmaster didn't really speak to him about an important quest there were other ones he could do. He look through all of them then picked one with a hostage situation and bandits. Perfect.
He successfully completed the quest and got all of the hostages out alive and completed all the possible boasts for it. He held the 10,000 gold he justly earned with his huge hands before putting it in his money bag. His goal was to get his mind off of things while he killed the bandits but instead he thought. Most people have to put all their concentration on fighting but to Deathbringer it was as easy as breathing so he was able to make his most important decisions while doing so.
While walking to Bowerstone he thought about the decision he made. Before going to the North Side he stopped to buy a wedding ring then proceeded. It didn't take him long to find the swan among chickens. He walked right up to the Lady.
"There you are! I've missed you. I really like you and well... I was hoping you'd do me a favor," She stopped waiting to see if the hero was going to say anything and continued when he didn't. "I would love to marry you, if you want to, of course. Do you want to marry me?"
Although he didn't show it, the hero was surprised. He nodded his head.
In a cooing voice she said, "Good. Then will you just defeat Thunder for me? Then nothing will come in the way of us being together."
The Hero smirked in triumph. He loved a good fight and Thunder looked like a challenge not to mention he hated Thunder and longed for the day her could humiliate him. Plus he'd be getting married to the greatest women in all of Albion.
