Chapter six

Jenny.

I can't believe I just did that! How could I have been so stupid? I mean one look at Master Wally (who arrived with King Garfield earlier) of Flashington sent me down like a ten ton of bricks! It wasn't that he was handsome... No, he was anything but… but his features made an odd sense to me. When my gaze first fell upon him, my knee's started to shake. Nervousness settled in.

I've only been nervous once in my life, that was when I went to the interview for my position at the castle. But this was different. His mismatched features made perfect sense in my mind. Although others may have the nerve to describe him as ugly. His red hair looked odd with his pale skin and large blue eyes. He was well built, like an athlete.

When I went in to give him an appetiser before the meal, I so stupidly tripped over my own feet, sending the bowl of soup over him in front of the King and his nobles! What made it worst was the fact he didn't yell. He seemed genially okay with the fact he was dripping with soup. It made the whole matter worse; I think I would have preferred to be yelled at. But all I could do at the time was pathetically mutter "I'm sorry my Lord" over and over.

Seriously Jenny, you really need to work your lord's socialising skills…

Jenny.

"Jenny, are you all right? You look as white as a ghost." Karen Asked "This is Victor by the way"

Jenny mumbled out a reply, which sounded an awful lot like "I dumped a noble and hey Victor let's hope you don't screw up by knowing me."

"Jenny?" Karen questioned.

"Oh, Karen! I dumped Sir Wally's soup all over him because I so stupidly tripped over my own feet. In front of EVERYONE! What am I going to do?" Jenny wined from the corner.

Karen went over to Jenny crouching down to her level and pulled her into a hug. Victor wasn't quite sure what to do, so he just stood where he was and rocked back and forth on his feet.

"Jenny" a voice sounded from the door, and in the next second, Lady Korianna stood in the door way with a young Lady. She looked only 16; her hair was cropped and dark with red streaks running throughout. She was pale, almost a silver shine to her skin. She was beautiful, but in the most unexpected way.

Jenny looked up to see and small smile on Kori lips and the other girl grinning from ear to ear.

"I'm so sorry my lady, I …." Jenny began, but was cut off by Kori

"Shh, it's ok, it wasn't your fault! It could have happen to anyone. Although, I was hoping it would hit Sir Jason" Kori walked over to Jenny and Karen and pulled them both to their feet.

"Why were you hoping it would hit your betrothed" Jenny sniffed

"Because he has had eyes for all the other ladies in court this evening. If this is what he is really like, then I'm not sure if I want to marry him or not." Kori said her voice tinted with bitterness. A young girl put her hand on Kori shoulder; she was none other than Tony, Korianna's younger sister. And Korianna treasured her like the most precious jewel on the earth. However she was always careful around her and nobody knew why.

"I don't think Wally minded either. Actually… he looked kind of cute, dripping in soup! If that's what you're into" Tony laugh.

Jenny smiled also, feeling a little better about what had happen.

"There we are! A smile" Korianna grinned "I even told Wally he should wear soup more often because he look so good in it" she had said "look" with such sarcasm that Jenny let out a small laugh.

"I think it time for desert" Karen muttered. Jenny stopped laughing instantly.

"Don't worry Jenny. You'll be fine," Tony was obvious trying not to laugh.

"If looks could kill" Kori grinned. Turning she looked towards Victor who was still rocking on this feet. "Victor you don't have to stand to attention! Make yourself at home." Kori smiled

"We better be getting back to the feast, you're going to be ok Jen?" Tony asked

"Yeah fine you guys go. It can't get any worst" Jenny said walking toward the desert. The two ladies gave her a smile and left, going back up to the feast.

"Yeah, but I think I better take the custard, Jen. Just to be on the safe side" Karen said taking the bowls before Jenny could. "We will be right back Victor help yourself." They moved swiftly out of the room, Karen carrying the trays with expertise whilst Jenny carried them with a worried shake in her hands.

Victor was left alone thinking about what he had just witnessed. It was all equal here! He would have never been able to do that with his Master. He took one look around the room and gave a smile. I'm going to like it here. He thought to himself, before walking over to the industrial sized sink and began washing up the dirty dishes from the evening meal.
