Chapter 2: A Walk Through The Market
Serena smiled as she walked down the old street she had gotten to know so well. She smiled wider at the sight of the backer's son. The son had a very large liking for Serena, and she knew this. He didn't know that she knew this, but she knew all the same.
He was a tall gangly boy. He was to be 18 next month. He was so much unlike his father; it was so hard to tell they were related! He had bright red hair that was quite visible, through the normal colors of hair around him. His face was covered in freckles. His eyes shone blue with pure delight.
She waved to him, and her and Missy walked to the bakery. " Good morning Leavitt! How has your morning been?" She asked walking up to the door the man stood behind. He smiled at her.
"Far better now that I can see your smiling face." He said. She giggled and did some shameless flirting. They talked and talked, but Missy was getting irritable and wanted to get the things so that she could go to finish her chores at the Mansion.
"Milady! I have work to get to… do you mind if we speed this up a bit?" The old woman suggested. Serena looked back innocently, then beamed. Missy and the other servants were the only ones that referred to her as milady, or madam. The oldest and wisest of the mansion, called her young maiden. The other servants very rarely called her Serena.
"Oh that's right isn't it! Leavitt! We need 3 loafs of bread and some rolls please." Serena said to him taking out some coins to pay for it all. He smiled at her as she handed it to him and loaded the bread into the basket. "Thank you! It was a pleaser talking to you."
Leavitt took her hand, as she extended it to shake hands, and kissed it gently. "No, Ma'am… the pleaser was all mine." He said and Serena left him. She nodded her head to him and continued on her way.
"Milady… do you think it wise… leading all the village boys on?" Missy asked as they made there way to the vegetables. Serena gave an innocent look.
"Oh Missy… of course it is alright! " Serena exclaimed looking for some ripe apples they were walking by. "Its not like I'm going to crawl into their beds at night to seduce them…" She added.
"They would think so…" Missy muttered. Serena gave her a beam and walked away to the vegetables, which were in clear view. Serena smiled at her again looking back barley. Missy couldn't help but smile. Serena reminded her so much of Lady Selena. She cot up quickly as Serena turned the corner.
Truth be told… Serena had enchanted some noble men. It was because of her resemblance to her graceful mother. She was born of noble blood… but her ranking was lost, because she had lost both of her parents. Serena was too spirited to accept it though. She always fought her hardest to be free.
Well, Missy caught up to the golden haired maiden. She was looking at a head of salad and tomatoes. "Missy… would you be so kind as to pick out some lettuce, while I get some tomatoes." Serena said pondering something.
"Of course milady." Missy said smiling and looking through the lettuce as Serena wondered to the tomatoes she had been observing. She put a few in her basket and she wet and paid for them, then turned to grab Missy.
Serena walked through the streets picking out breads, and vegetables and chatting with Missy, until the came to a sign. The sign was outside the arena for jousting and such things. She stopped in front of it and motioned to Missy.
"Missy look at this!" She exclaimed pointing to the poster.
Serena examined it carefully. "Oh how interesting!" She said smiling. The notice read.
"All noble men. This is a notice concerning the upcoming event. There is to be a jousting tournament on the next moon. There is a Patent of nobility required for all of the participating men. No women are permitted! This is a very strict rule! Only men of noble birth. If you are participating, go to the town hall before the next moon. There you will need to sign up for your events."
Serena read to Missy. Unfortunately, Missy was uneducated in the art of reading. Missy ooed. And they started chattering about it as they walked down the crowded street. Serena was stopping every few minutes at the flower shops just to smell the sweet sent. But as she was admiring a daisy she felt her hair lift.
"Oh hello there… Madam." Said a voice behind her. She closed her eyes, not answering to the voice. She already knew who it was, but thought maybe if she ignored him, he would leave her alone.
She continued to walk to the other flower shops looking at roses and poppies and violets, tulips, sunflowers, and many different types of flowers. Missy tried her best to keep up with her.
"Oh Serena…" Said the voice again. Serena could hear the sound of hooves trotting behind her. The man that was fallowing her was one of the only men in town she hated talking to. "I am talking to you!" He shouted after her, loosing his temper.
"Well… I'm not talking to you…" She said as she kept up her pace. Missy following closely behind her. Serena pointed her nose to the sky a bit and walked toward the exit of the market.
The man following her was very irritated. He trotted his horse in front of her. " Young maiden… why do you avoid me so." He asked her leaning towards her a little. Serena didn't even look at the man but kept walking.
"The same reason I despise you so." She said to him growling a little. He smirked.
"Aren't we a fistey one?" he said sarcastically. Serena scowled at the rude man on the horse.
"If you don't mind, Sir Diamond…" She said looking up at the man." I have chores to do!" She said aggravated.
The man she was talking to was sir Diamond Snowflipser. He was a very rude, snobby, self-obsessed and annoying noble man. He had been chasing after Serena since she was 14 and she had yet to say a kind word to him. He had pale, pale blond hair. It was so pale that it was white.
"Fine then! We shall meet again. Mon chéri!" he said and galloped to his manor. Serena was glade to be rid of the evil man.
"Oh… Milady. If I haven't warned you once… I have warned you a thousand times!" Missy said shaking her head. " That man is not one you should be insulting." She warned.
"Oh and why not? He kills innocent people, and he doesn't even give a single piece of copper to the villagers! He's rude and arrogant! He is nothing but a mere pest! He is the fly that haunts my soup!" Serena declared enraged at the sinister man.
Missy sighed and put a hand on the shoulder of Serena, "Milady… you remind me so much of your mother it seems as though she was standing beside me at this moment." Serena beamed at her slightly. She loved to hear how much she reminded people of her mother.
"Thank you Missy. You know how much that means to me." Serena said smiling at the woman. They continued to walk. They talked about different thing. Who would be participating in the jousting competition and such.

Well here is your preview!!
Serena knelt down and began gathering some berries from the beautiful spot she had just started to admire when she heard the sound of a running horse.
She looked up immediately, putting her basket of berries on the floor. When she saw him. A man riding a horse with some old looking armor. His horse was stunning. But as she was admiring him he ran into a low branch. The blow knocked of his helmet.
Serena gasped and ran to the man. "Sir… sir are you ok?" She asked him. When she got close enough she saw that the man had raven black hair and deep blue midnight blue eyes. He laughed a little and stood up.
"Aw. There goes another one I will have to chase down… oh hello there miss…" He looked at her for the answer.
"Serena. My name is Serena… and you are?" She asked the man.
"Oh! I young lady I am Sir…
