Gunther
Gunther Breech had always been a handsome boy and as he grew he only became more desirable. He had high cheek bones and a strong jaw line. He was muscular and tall. Aside from his looks, not only was he a knight, he was wealthy too. Almost all of the young maidens in Kippernium have longed after him. Although Gunther loved having girls swoon over him. There was only one girl he wanted.
They had been sparring together a few months ago; practicing their skills with wooden swords as they had so often done. Gunther hooked Jane's sword and attempted to twist it away. He tugged it forward but he pulled Jane forward as well. She toppled him over.
At first he was angry for her being so clumsy but then he looked at her face. He hadn't noticed earlier but he did then. He saw how womanly Jane had become. Her pink lips were fuller, her skin was lustrous and her eyes… Had they always been so penetrating? Her hair was draped around his face and he detected the scent of lilacs. The moment was so intense that he thought for sure they were going to kiss. But then she reddened and laughed.
"Sorry Gunther I should have let go."
She picked herself up and extended a hand to help him up.
The moment was over.
He felt extremely disappointed but he took Jane's hand and hoisted himself up.
Ever since that day the only girl he wanted was Jane. Jane who was possibly the only girl he didn't stand a chance with.
Not that that meant he wasn't going to try.
