"Lady May, are you awake?" Jessica asked as she opened the drapes for another day.

"Jessica, I have such the things to tell you." May said as she picked out her own dress and took in to the clothing wall. "Mark asked me to go to the ball as a princess. That mean I need a dress so, we need to go shopping for a dress. That also means he could pick me as a bride."

"A bride… my lady… that could be great." Jessica said as she began to get May's corset on, "I would like to have around more."

"I think I would like to have that too." May said, "yesterday Mark showed me these hot spa and offer me to go in… I couldn't go in I never been naked in front of a man before."

"How did Lord Mark look without his clothes?"

"How do you know that he even got naked?" May asked

"Mark has been going in those spa's ever since he was little. He never can pass up a chance to get in those spas."

"He didn't stop this time either. He got naked down to his underwear. Oh my god Jessica, his body is so ripped and so fine words don't even describes it. At the same point of token he will make a lady in the future a very happy women." She said with the blush in her cheeks.

"Oh my lady… don't be embarrassed Lord Mark has wooed a few women in his time. This was way before he was at the marriage age." Jessica said "but there has been a long time since a women graced these hallways. You have been the first he has honestly taken the time to know."

"Oh" May said her mind began to rush with all what could happen.

"Lady May, I don't mean to scare you off about Lord Mark I am just saying that is how he use to be."

"It is okay Jessica… people change men change… your not scaring me off."

"Oh good, you're finished my Lady." She said and walked quietly.

May sat in the room a bit longer playing with her hair. She sighed a few time and headed out the door to see Mark once again. She walked in to the dinning area and Mark was standing at the table but this time in riding gear.

"Where are you going?" she asked him

"Well I through that today I could go riding with you through the village people and remind people that in tomorrow is the ball is happening… "

"Do you honestly want me to go with you?" she paused "after all I'm not through of well on these lands."

"May please, you will be riding with me and that could make all the difference around here."

"I don't know Mark, maybe I should just stay here or ya know go for my dress after all I need to get ready for tomorrow."

"Okay if you wish you can go get your dress take Jessica with you." Mark said with a smile and left for his ride through town.

Jessica and May went to the town and began to try on all the dresses they could get their hands on. May keep changing dress to dress none having the right thing to them. Jessica sat and waited for her to get dress and then she would show the dresses off. Jessica envy Lady May's body it made her mad that she couldn't have a body like that nor get the attention of Mark like she once had a few months before the whole battle started.

Mark stood in his father's dressing area while he tried on his tux. He didn't say a word to his father about the ball.

"Ya know that this ball is a gift to you," he said to Mark.

"Yes father"

"Then you should also know that not just anyone is made for the crown." He started "I have been hearing things about you and this May that you have been wooing in the castle. You shouldn't be having one of your dirty living in a space where the public see your doing!" he began

"Father, May is not a piece of dirt she is the daughter of Lord Kerry." Mark gave his father a blunt answer.

"Oh great you are playing with the enemy."

"Father, she is the last of her kind. She is the only one left she has not one person in her village alive. She is a very good person. She is not like her father at all. If you just take the time and talked to her…"

"I AM NOT TAKING THE TIME TO TALK TO HER…"his father boom in to the room…" this would make your mother roll in her grave. This Lady May is not up for marriage… she will be going back to her castle tomorrow."

"You can not do that, father, you told me that I could marry anyone I wanted to marry and that means if I want to marry May I will. I am not going to put my whole life on hold just because you think one person is not worth marring. She is a princess too and she is of noble blood and everything so it is not like she should be ruled out because of who her father is."

"Markus I am telling you May is not worth marring. If people find out that you are wooing the enemy this whole kingdom will be laughed at." He paused "don't you worry about the public eye?"

"Father the whole public has the right to choice to marry in love and not in judgment or old debts lost. It is about time that we should have the same rights as we allow our person to have… that is what I plan to do. If I choice to marry May I choice because I love May and not because I want to settle old debt father." Mark said and with that he walked out of his father's room.
