Childhood crush.
Chapter one; Meet Riona
Today the knights have returned and I, Riona am helping Vanora take care of the children. I love taking car of children, especially the ones of my best friend and boss. Vanora has always been my best friend. Her parents took me in when my mother died. My mother was a Woad, something that few people know. And my father, my father was a knight. Not a Sarmatian, and not a Roman. Mother told me he was a Celt. My eyes wander off to the knights. And lands on one specific.
"Riona! Don't stare." Vanora says with a tone of amusement in her voice.
"I can't." I say lifting op a six year old girl.
"You have been staring at him from the age girls start noticing boys." Vanora smiles.
"I can't help it you know."
"I know, but you should speak to him." She says tending to her youngest.
"First of all he doesn't know my name, second of what would he see in a sixteen year old?" I sigh. While the six year old starts to play with a lock of my dark-brown hair.
"You're pretty grownup for you're age." Vanora says seriously.
"Still, every women here is prettier then me."
"Are you kidding? Long, very long dark-brown hair, deep blue eyes, porcelain skin. What's not pretty? A lot of older women envy you." Vanora stats.
"Don't make fun of my." I say.
"Riona, will you take me to daddy?" The six year old asks smiling.
"Okay love, lets go see you're daddy." I summon up all the courage I have and walk over to the knights. Only one of them knows my name, and that's Bors. Lancelot plays around with me sometimes, but he doesn't know my name.
"Bors! The little one wants to see you!" I say handing the girl over to her father.
"Is that one of you're little bastards?" Gawain asks.
"Daddy what's a bastard?" The little one asks with her big brown eyes aimed at here father.
"Nothing hunny." He says and than turns to Gawain. "Shut up about those things in front of the little ones."
I can't help but laugh, sometimes the perverted knight and sometimes the concerned father.
"Can you get us some drinks?" Lancelot asks me.
I nod and walk off. I had managed to keep my eyes of my knight in shining armour. I don't think he remembers but when I was thirteen I was about to fall and he cachet me. I don't think I will ever forget. I purr some cups full and put them on a tray. Carefully but professionally I carry the tray to the knights. I put it down on the table and hand them out to each knight.
"Well aren't you a nice little dove." Lancelot smirks.
"Riona when are you going to mother one of my bastards? I know you like them." Bors says joking.
"Never Bors, I wouldn't stay with a man who wants more than one woman." I smirk.
"Well can we help it we are lucky." Gawain smirks. "Look at Galahad, he can't even seduce one woman."
The younger knight throws his cup at Gawain. And I try my best to hide a blush.
"Honestly love, what do you think of Galahad?" Lancelot asks me.
I swallow, what should I say. All the knights are watching me intently.
"Not bad looking." I say shortly. Trying to hide every emotion.
"Would you sleep with him?" Gawain smirks.
"Depends on the time, the place, and how much bear I drank." I say smiling.
Dagonet the mean looking, but very nice knight chuckles at the surprised expressions of his friends, the only face that stays expressionless is that of Tristan.
"Now will you excuse me. I have work to do." I say and walk of feeling very good about myself.
"What was so funny?" Vanora asks me. While putting her hands on her large stomach. She was pregnant, eight months.
"My answer." I say grinning.
"Do I want to know?" She asks frowning.
"I don't think so." I smile. "But you should take a look at that." I say nodding towards Gilly, he and Blake a sixteen year old boy, with green eyes and brown hair that hung in front of his eyes where wrestling. I think they are just playing around, but Vanora hates it.
"Are they at it again! Those two are unbelievable." She says storming at the two of them.
Blake and Gilly let go of each other, stand up from the ground and await there lecture. It was funny to see Vanora lecture here son, and Blake. Blake was a lot taller than her but still listens to her. Vanora could be very scary and lets say pregnancy makes her even crankier, and therefore scarier.
Vanora yells a couple of things and the boys nod sometimes. After about five minutes she gives them permission to go. Blake walks over to me, I'm washing up the cups.
"Some temper." He says standing next to me.
"Its you're on fault. You know how she gets when she's pregnant." I smile. Thinking of al the times Vanora yells at people. When she doesn't yell at me I find it very funny.
"Still going away to visit family." He asks.
I nod. He only knows half of the plan. I'm going to visit my Woad family. The only one who knows the hole story is Vanora. She understands my need to see them again.
"Hope you come back soon." He says and walks of. I bet he's going to wrestle with boys his on age. He wants to be a knight one day, he has potential.
"Riona you can go. You have a big day in front of you." Vanora smiles pushing me inside of the house. I live with her and the children, free of charge. Because I help out with the children, Vanora says my help is indispensable.
I get ready for bed. I have a small room al to myself, its small but its good enough for me. A little place to call my one. I enter the room and fall down on my bed.
The next morning I get up at first light. And put on breeches and a tunic. My horse is already ready to go. I made sure of that yesterday. Yes I have a horse, and I'm proud of him. I both him with a little bite of the rather large amount of money my mother and father left me.
Vanora is up to and says her goodbye's. I smile and mount my horse. I take a lot of pride in him, he is very well trained. Perfect black and well built.
"Vanora I hope I will see you soon." I say and ride of.
It is already past noon when I arrive at the Woad village. Merlin and Guinevere are already awaiting me. Merlin was my mothers cousin, he and Guinevere are the only family I have.
"Welcome Riona." Guinevere says hugging me. We haven't seen each other in a long time.
"Its good to be back Guine." I say as she lets go.
"It joys me heart to see you well dear childe." Merlin says placing a hand on my shoulder.
"It joys me as well to see you well, the both of you." I smile. I feel happy, happier than I have been in a long time.
"You two girls go and catch up, I believe you not need the company of an old man." Merlin smiles.
Guinevere grabs my hand and pulls me in the woods.
"Tell me how have things been?" I ask.
"Just fine, except we heard reports of Saxons. And the evil pig Marius Aurelius is trying to capture and convert us."
"Romans." I sigh. They think there so powerful and forthright.
"And you, has Artorius already converted you?" She asks seriously.
"It would surprise me if he know my name. And all his knights are pagans." I say.
Suddenly I hear a noise. I look at Guinevere she nods. She heard it to. We are defenceless no weapons we carry and its only the two of us. We stand still and look around.
"Surrender our we will capture you with the use of violence." A deep voice says from the dark.
"Who is you're lord?!" I ask, trying to keep the fear out of my voice.
"Marius Aurelius, but what dos a filthy pagan know of such things." The voice says mocking.
I look at Guinevere and nod. We move to a battle position.
We hear laughter as ten men walk from the shelter of the threes. Guards, mercenaries. They carry swords and bows. While we have only our fists and feet.
This will get ugly.
