Starring in to the night sky from her position on the moss covered rocks that lay beside the running water, Rei had to admit to herself that this wasn't a bad life.
She was free to do things that she previously was forbidden to do.
Only one thing marred her happiness,
her five year old sonwas asking about his father and he was the one preson she would have preferred never to hear about ever again but that was the way it went , so she had no choice but to deal with it.
Closing her eyes she remembered the times she had met her husband and gotten to know him before that faithful night when she had been prevy to a conversation that she should not have heard.
Even then she had been friends with Lady Serenity and so she had known who to go to with this information.
She could still see his features clearly in her minds eye.
Black hair that was left to curl against muscular shoulders (not overly), onyx eyes that could be either loving or hard depending on the person he was talking to, upper body strength that would do any gladiator proud, long muscular legs tapered to a small waist and buns of steel that she had loved to touch during there short marriage.
There's was a fast courtship, maunly because after their first meeting with her, he had known she was the one which was basically what he said to her father when he asked for her hand in marriage.
It was his determination adn stubborness that saw them married no one week later and why, just three days later she had dissappeared from the castle never to be seen or heard from again.
Looking back she couldn't blaim him for what he had said but what she could blaim him for was his plan to attack many of her friends homes in hopes of finding the person who has killed his father.
Reflecting on the past, she couldn't help but look at herself objectively and realise that she had been to obedient, to willing to please him that she had lost her identity and almost risked her friends lives for the love of a man that she now realised had no love in him to give in the first place.
That wasn't to say she didnt love him still and even to this day, she suspected that should he ask her to marry him again that she would jump at the chance because if it was one thing she had learned from her friends was that everybody deserved a second chance.
Because although she felt wthat her love had been killed for him when she had overheard what he had planned to do, she still had to say one thing for him.......
He was the best lover she had ever had and she suspected he would be her one and only for she had no plans to enter that sacrament again.
That said she had been under a lot of pressure lately to provide her son with a father.
It had been over five and a half years since she had last seenher husband . Unfortunately for ever match maker that surrounded her it went against all her morales to take a new husband or lover when she was constantely being assured by her sources that he was still alive.
But she ws only twenty one, still in her prime or so her friends kept on telling her.
Laughing silently to herself, she had to admit that it was ironic that she was being pushed into finding a man by women who were older and manless and not doing anything about it.
All her friends insisted she needed a man, bar one.
And because this and the fact that she suspected that she to had been heart by a man was why they were best friends as well as comrades at arms.
Walking back towards the camp she wasnt't surprised to see that they had captured mpre soliders.
Whose she didn't know and she didn't really care.
They would join their army and eventuallly they would take over throw Morgan Lafay and her killing spree of village people and noblemen not pledged to her.
