Under your spell

Chapter 4

The Duel of the lady

Chuck couldn't just give his title up; he had to go to the Temple of the Knights to annul it, a long and difficult process. Nate had gone with him.

"You know this is sheer madness," Nate said, trying to persuade Chuck out of it.

"You will lose everything," Nate kept going.

"I want her Nate, she has something I cannot say no to," Chuck said happily but still slightly bitter over his love for Blair.

The temple was two days ride away so eventually Nate stopped begging Chuck.

Outside the temple, they met Master Carter Baizen.

"Lord Archibald and Lord Bass what a great honor to have you back," Carter says. Chuck had always disliked Carter; he was a snake in the grass and a backstabbing liar.

"I´m here to talk to Reginald Front-de-Boeuf," Chuck demanded.

They were led into the great hall with all the ancient knights.

"Lord Bass, to what do I owe such a pleasure?" The Reginald said as Chuck walked forward.

"I have come to you, your grace, to annul my title," Chuck said his voice steady.

Front-de-Boeuf was surprised at Chuck´s statement.

"May I asks why you wish to annul your title?" Reginald said, trying to understand.

Chuck hesitated. He had sworn to serve the order and therefore never get married.

"I- have met the love of my life and I am no longer fit to serve the order," Chuck said, trying to keep his face blank.

The Reginald lost his temper then and roared at Chuck. "THAT WITCH MUST DIE."

"Who is this Lady that has bewitched you?" Reginald asked, disgusted by the thought.

"Lady Blair Waldorf," Chuck said, knowing he could not lie, that would be against his honor.

"Then bring her here to trial," Front-de-Boeuf ordered.

Blair was doing her duties for the sisters when a man arrived asking for her.

Blair recognized Lord Nate at once.

"Lord Nate what brings you here," Blair asked as she curtseyed.

"The Temple of Knights sent me to bring you back," Nate stated his voice firm.

"I will go if they wish it," Blair said as she turned to pack her things.

Nate told her why they had sent for her.

"Chuck is with them?" Blair asked Nate.

"Yes, and they refuse to annul his title before they have seen you," Nate said as they rode off.

"Is Chuck in danger?" Blair asked as she and Nate were riding through the forest.

"Yes, I´m afraid he might be," Nate said, paling at the thought.

They finally arrive and Front-de- Boeuf beckoned Blair in. He had heard a lot of rumors about her beauty but he thought she was far more beautiful than people gave her credit for.

"Lord Bass, this is the woman you would give your title up for?" Front-de- Boeuf asked as he looked Blair over once more. Blair stood her ground; she wasn't going to back down.

"Yeeees," Chuck answered slowly.

"Lady Blair, can you understand Lord Charles´s demand?" Reginald asked Blair sharply.

"Yes, it is a challenge between me and Lord Bass," Blair said, her voice emotionless.

"I see, but your challenge goes against the code of the Temple of Knights," Reginald said, his eyes darkening with anger.

"I am sorry if my challenge upsets your grace," Blair said as she curtsied.

"Lord Bass has sworn an oath not to marry and here he is asking for your hand when he knows what must happen to his love," the Reginald said menacingly.

"You have put Lord Charles under your spell," The Reginald kept talking.

"I have no such thing," Blair said firmly.

"We have decided to try you and have you prove your innocence, if you are proven guilty of witchcraft you will be burnt at the stake, or you could ask for a devil's advocate to defend your name," Front-de-Boeuf said. Blair shivered, he was so arrogant.

"I will have an advocate to defend my honor, and I am innocent," Blair called over her shoulder as she let them lead her away.

Chuck looked devastated over Blair´s words; she would let herself be damned without a real fight.

That night Chuck came to her. Blair was locked up in the tower awaiting him.

"Hello Bass," Blair said gently as she looked up at him.

"Blair, they will kill you," Chuck said but Blair just smiled.

"I will have an advocate to challenge them for the next two days," Blair said as she looked calmly at Chuck.

"Who may I ask?" Chuck snapped, sounding worried.

"I will challenge for myself," Blair said, showing no signs of fear.

"Blair, you knew this would happen?" Chuck said, surprised at the thought.

Blair just looked at him smugly. "I have wanted to be a knight all my life and here is my chance to show them my hand."

"I should have known you had an ulterior motive," Chuck said darkly as he leant in to kiss her. Blair tried to move away but Chuck caught her lips with his. The kiss was breathtaking.

"Our challenge is finished," Chuck said huskily as he dragged Blair to his side.

"I want you now, if you are going to fight and die at least let me have you," Chuck pleaded.

Blair looked at Chuck's desperate expression and smiled. "I like it when you beg."

Blair´s breasts were nearly popping out of her dress as Chuck's head bowed to kiss them.

"Chuuck," Blair breathed and Chuck smirked. She was so innocent, never touched, Chuck knew she was meant for him.

"Lord Bass, you are a wicked man," Blair moaned softly. Chuck started to suck on her skin and Blair protested. "No marks or I will strike you." Chuck smirked again, "I will not leave any marks on your perfect skin."

Blair moaned louder as Chuck caressed her skin and her breasts; he put his lips to her ear.

"Hush, we don't want to get caught now do we?" Chuck drawled in his darkest voice.

Blair groaned as Chuck´s lips sucked the tops of her breasts. Chuck kept stroking her soft breasts as he whispered. "You must not fight, you must find another challenger."

"You cannot persuade me to not fight, LEAVE," Blair hissed as she pushed Chuck off of her.

Chuck looked extremely displeased. "I will have you My Lady and your innocence."

"Then you have to wait forever," Blair says in disgust as she walks back in but Chuck drags her back to him.

Chuck Bass was handsome no denying that but she would not be his now, yet he had to prove himself worthy to her.

"I will marry you if you give up your title as a knight," Blair says as she turns to look at Chuck.

Chuck looks shock and says" Are you mad woman?"

"No, if I can give up my honor you surely can give up yours," Blair hiss at him as she gives him a spiteful look.

"Meet me here next full moon with your sword, so I can see that you have given your title up but if you don't come I will give myself to God" Blair says.

Chuck was left with a strange feeling that Blair wouldn't let him have her that easily.
