Chapter 4

Well the hardest was over, people had been told, and all that was left was to actually tell strangers. Meaning there was to be a ball that Danric and I had to go up and announce our marriage during. Hah, who was I kidding the worst was yet to come. Life went on as usual, well as usual as it can be when in a matter of no time you find out you love your enemy, he loves you back, your getting married, and people you don't even know come up and congratulate you. One day I was taking a walk outside through the gardens and I saw a maid walking towards me. She looked vaguely familiar, but I couldn't place it. She was right in front of me and stopped. It seemed like she wanted to talk to me, so I to in turn stopped. That is the last thing I remember.

Groaning I woke up and found myself in my bed with an anxious Vidanric staring down at me.

"What happened?" I asked wearily.

Relived he answered, "I went walking and found you unconscious, blood all over you, like someone had hit you one the head."

"The maid, I know I have seen her before." then it dawned on me, "She was a maid at the Merindar's."

Suddenly Danric looked worried. "Are you sure?"

When I nodded my head, a pain coursed through my body that was unbearable and cried out.

"Shh, don't worry the pain should go away soon." Vidanric's voice was so soothing it calmed me down almost immediately. "I'm afraid I have to go Mel, but if you need someone don't hesitate to call."

He started to walk out, but then remembered something and turned around,

"Meliara, I hope you don't mind to much, but your over-shirt was covered in blood and removed it because it wasn't good for you."

At this I smiled, "Of course I know your intentions were honorable."

He came closer to me and leaned in to kiss me, but before he did he whispered, "My intentions might have been, but my thoughts certainly weren't." (AN: This part may have been inspired by someone else, so if it I am sorry)

At this I laughed and he kissed me. He started to leave again and I called after him,

"I'm glad your thoughts weren't honorable, I'd be worried if they were. Not even you are that perfect."

Laughing he turned and walked out of the door. Sighing slightly to myself thinking that this might not be as easy as I thought, I feel into a dreamless sleep.
