The Jousting Match

She sits in the spectators part of the Jousting arena marveling at how many good looking men were around her. She hopes one of them will notice her and ask for her favor how could they not? After all she wore the French dress her father had hated her wearing....

Noelle looked at her children's governess. Little Arthur was sound asleep in the governess's arms, and Anthony was plopped on a bench.....and he looked bored. But, she did not care. They were behaving, and that's all that mattered. She often tried to not think of the little she lost. But, she think of that child all the time. Noelle bit her lip, and made an invisible cross. 'Keep calm. Keep calm. No thinking of anything painful,' she thought. She had her best gown on her best French gown, and her best French hood. But, it was a mere dress, and hood. None of that mattered to her. Most women in court were always worried about what they wore, and how expensive it was. Noelle shook her head, and stared out at the field.

As I sit in the royal place looking at the people wondering who is going to joust wishing I had someone to wear my favours

After a laborious quarter of an hour, Jasper emerged from the little cluster of tents adjacent to the arena-now decked out in shining metal. It had taken a laborious quarter of an hour to apply the layers of chain mail and armour-it weighed down heavy and with every trot of the horse it clicked sharply.
Jasper urged his reliable horse into a canter and rode down the arena, pausing for a moment to bow at the women who had already gathered,"Ladies."

He then rode towards the other waiting men...

Alfonsina was dressed upand went to the place where the match would happen. She saw some ladies who were familiar to her. But she didn't say anything. She sat somewhere which had a beautiful view for the match. Then she saw Jasper , he was with the other men. She wished the best for him inside her and started to wait for the match.

As Jasper Crowley rode over to the other cute gentlemen a flock of women come sitting by her. The Princes Cordelia was by her she makes a slight bow of her head and smiles saying hello inviting her in for a conversation she does the same with the unknown woman. Then sitting next to her was the lady Noelle Hoffman.

Her family isn't close with them. She doesn't think Lord Hoffman likes her dad much either. Neither the less she looks over to the other woman and smiles as well.

"Hello Lady Noellle I hope all is well."

As I sit I see the other girls I see a different girl who nods to me as I nod back and say hello as I take my seat

Noelle bowed her head to Jasper. And, watched him ride over to the other men. Next to Noelle were Lady Garcia, Princess Cordelia, and Lady More. She bowed her head to all three women. And, looked at her childen. 'Thank you, God! You've made me a happy women,' she thought. They were still quiet, and she hoped they'd stay that way the rest of the day. As, Noelle turned her head she heard someone call her name. And, it was Lady Moore. "Lady Moore," she said, then continued," All is well. Thank you," she replied. How odd..... The Moores have never been the Hoffman's favorite people.

"Charles joined the jousting fields after receiving an official invitation by the King himself. It seemed that Lord Crawly suggested him to arrange a joust. Then he wore his armor and rode his horse next to him. He also noticed ladies took their places and looked at them with a charming, teasing smile"

Lord Hoffman looked over at Noelle. And, growled as he watched her speak to that Moore girl. God he hated that family. Dugan looked around, and found a small pebble. He picked it up, and tossed it at his eldest daughters head. 'Do not speak to that girl,' he mouthed to Noelle. His daughter rubbed her head, and gave a slight nod. "Good girl," he said. And, turned and looked at the gathering men.

Elizabeth watches what happens and she growls. How rude! She was only being civil as her father tells her so often. But after what she just witness civility wouldn't work here! So being the sharp tongued More girl she was she looked directly at Dugan and said.

"I think you are in the wrong place Lord Hoffman. Maybe you should be by the horses because last I checked this is no place for animals like you."

One of the ladies sitting by her starts to giggle

Lord Hoffman rubbed his chin, and just snickered at that little Moore girl. "Be lucky your even here, Moore. And, your words are nothing to me. Your just another low life commoner who doesn't belong in court," he said. He fiddled with his large expensive gold ring, simply winked, and then chuckled.

Elizabeth was about to sneer at Dugan again when one of the servants comes over and says the Princess wishes to speak with her. It is probably better that way. Though he is just jealous her father has more than he does. She gives one last glare and walks over to where the Princess is sitting. She gives a smile and bows her head.

All is well your higness me and my daughter are getting used to court life.

Please sit as I look at her and smile I am please to here it, my servant tells me you are lady in waiting for the Queen, how is she and how old is your daughter?

Meric returned from the stables, his horse neighing and snoring because it felt the excitement of his master. He tapped its neck and took the reins in one hand to mount it.
In a light gallop he rode to the royal stage, smiling from far as he saw his beloved White taking her seat.
With a short tug on the reins, he came to a halt in front of her and bowed deeply.

My dearest queen, will you do me the honor to give me a mascot?He asked while he held the long spear near her.

I took my seat and smiled kindly to the ladies around me, waiting for the joust to begin.I couldn't remember when was the last time that we have joust at court.From the corner of my eyes I notice Royce and I smiled to him happily,knowing that he is probably very nervous.

As I walk down to the joust area remembering the last time I had come to one

Jasper noticed The Duke of Suffolk enter the arena and steered his horse towards him,"Good morrow, Your Grace!"he called with a cheerful smile.
"Have you decided upon your opponent?"he asked curiously as he passed a cursory glance over the spectators and fellow riders.

White takes her sit with the other women, as she talks with ladies sees her beloved husband King Meric approaching her. She smiles ear to ear, proudly and totally in love, she knows how good her love is at this sport.
She claps her hands and stands up, bows at him and smiles tenderly 'My belovd King, you look so great and so divine in your armour, you really are the best' winks at him and continues 'a mascot my love? ofcourse! That would be a huge honour for me' pulls out her handkrief under her dress' sleeve and unlaces one of the pink ribbons in her hair, then ties them around his spear and looks deeply into his eyes 'Good luck your magesty, take care, remember you are the best and that I love you!'
