Chapter Two:
Rhoslyn's feet felt as if they were filled with lead and the extra load wasn't helping much either, "Ceallach! Ceallach where are you?" Came a frantic cry in the night, she heard another one and then another one; obviously there was a search party out for him. "Father!" Screamed Ceallach, Rhoslyn's eyebrows raised it was odd for a king to be out searching with the guards.
"Ceallach! Talk to me boy so I can find you!" came the strong voice again, "Over here father! Here!" Even though he heard his father's voice he didn't let go of Rhoslyn's neck he actually tightened his grip. "Ceallach!" His father, the king, stepped out of the shadows and stared at the Rhoslyn.
"Who are you and why do you have my son?" He asked drawing his sword, "Put his down at once" Scared Rhoslyn tried to put Ceallach down, she bent over until his little feet touched the ground and pulled on his arms but his grip was iron clad. "No Father! She found me!" Rhoslyn looked at his pouting face and she heard the sound of the sword being put back in its sheath, "She was bringing me back"
There were more sounds of feet gathering around circling her so she couldn't run, it wouldn't have done any good because Ceallach still had a hold of her neck and wasn't bound to let it go. "Father! Can she be my new maid?" The king stared at his son then to the woman who was holding him, or rather trying to pry his arms from around her neck. "We will speak of this later Ceallach now get inside"
Ceallach pouted even more but he did what his father told him too and scurried up the stared and into the castle's stone doors. Rhoslyn watched him leave and then turned to leave her self. "Wait! You deserve a reward" Rhoslyn turned wide eyed to the king but shook her head bowing to the ground "No your majesty I do not deserve anything" He heard the king speaking softly with someone else "My lady please stand and allow to me to give you something for a reward"
Rhoslyn stood up and shyly bit her full bottom lip, "Your majesty it would be a reward if you gave me a place to stay the night, my mother sent me to get a few things from the market but the merchants had already closed up for the night" The king smiled making him look twenty years younger "Of course you may Follow me" Rhoslyn slowly followed the king inside the castle.
"Mesa shall show you to a room" The king began to walk off but he suddenly stopped, "What is your name dear child?" Rhoslyn licked her dry lips "Rhoslyn" The king smiled again, "Goodnight Rhoslyn and thank you" Rhoslyn watched as the king walked off, "Hullo Milady follow me" an older woman she assumed was Mesa said leading the way to her room for the night.
"It was a good thing you did tonight! The king and queen were worried sick! That boy is always getting into trouble" Mesa said as she opened a small door and showed Rhoslyn in the room, it was huge with a big bed and door that opened to the gardens "Prince Legolas often stays here when he comes he loves the garden" Rhoslyn shrugged knowing the named sounded familiar but didn't think about it, she saw a tub hidden away in the corner and headed toward it.
"Do you wish to take a bath? I can get some more servants to come and fill it?" Rhoslyn looked up and shook her head, she didn't want to cause any more trouble for anyone instead she just sat down on the bed. "Don't worry child I will go and get more servants and you can have a hot bath tonight" Rhoslyn was about to protest but Mesa was already out of the door and gone.
It wasn't until later when a whole bunch of servants came into Rhoslyn's room and began to fill the tub, embarrassed that she had made them work harder Rhoslyn stayed out of the way and hid her red face, she just knew they all hated her for making them work harder. Finally Rhoslyn watched as the last of them left, she went over locked the door before undressing and climbing into the tub, with a content sigh Rhoslyn closed her eyes and relaxed in the tub.
