Fish Pond

For a moment he had forgot why he was there. "Well i'm supposed to be having an audience with his majesty, King Francis, although I find walking here with you to be more sufficient." He laughed knowing he was being irresponsible but he was free now, and there was nobody to tell him what to do.

you should it keep the King waiting but I am liking your company as we get further towards the palace would your wife being joining you, as I could work for you while you are here walking slowly so not to lose him too quick

Ben was quick to correct her "Oh no my lady, I am not married, just a bachelor. He said walking slowing as he enjoyed getting to her.

that is a shame, I mean that I thought I might have been employed I stop and look at him taking in his features you are handsome enough why you not married I start to blush slightly do forgive me I should not ask as I start to walk once more

"No need to apologize my lady. After my arranged marriage failed, my father desperately wanted me to be married and have an heir, although I felt that marrying a complete stranger was not going to work, and now that he has passed on I can do as I wish." I said knowing I sounded improper and full of myself, but the days when I cared about what others thought about me were long gone.

i know what you mesn your grace, I am not sure i would have like a arrange marriage I smile shyly i once believed that I would marry for love but I know it does not exist. I hope one day that I might full in love and marry with a man that would love me so we can have children as I keep glancing at him as we walk

We walked by a tree and I took a leaf in my hand. "Love is a hard thing to understand. So I figure if fate wanted me to have love in my life I shall let it take it's course, until then I'm going to continue doing what I do" He said truthfully.

I smile at him that is a very good thing to do, and I hope we both find what we are looking for as I watch him with the leaf am sure you have the girls lining up for you. as I smile at the floor you are handsome am just plain. I do hope love finds me as I see a bench would you like to sit?

He sits down on the bench with her "Madame, no lady is ever just plain. Even your name, Elizabeth is so profound that it should never be said with one less syllable." he said as gazed into her eyes.

you are too kind your grace as I smile and look at him as the sun lights up his face i suppose it comes down to having a husband that left you. I see it being that I was not pretty enough or something i did wrong. as I like the quietness around us but I hope to find a man who loves me and true then I am with him. Sorry here is me going on yet we do not know each other that well yet. My mouth seems to run away with me as I look at the ground quiet embarssed.

"I will tell you this my lady, that man must have been fool to let such a lovely woman out of his grasp." he said and smiled at her timidness. "Yes, of course we should get to know each other better. What do you wish to know?"

what ever you wish, your grace. as I smile at him and wanting to know more about this man that seems to be enjoying my company as much as I am to his, noticing his blue eyes that twinkle under the sun as I look at him and trace his face every inch, wondering why such a handsome man is alone but I do not mind as he is here talking to me as I wait for him to tell me

"Well im the oldest of three siblings; two younger sisters. Im from Pembroke and just inherited my fathers title of duke and to be quite honest I never wanted the title." He said wondering why he was speaking so truthfully.

oh how come you never wanted it? I look around then back at him little about me I been a lady-in-waiting for the duchess of Buckingham Anna Stafford I recently helped her give birth. I enjoyed being in her household, then I married and now am back being a lady-in-waiting to Chandra princess of Scotland.

"I suppose after seeing my father deal with all the responsibility over the years Im learning that with great power comes great responsibility." he said knowing his days of being young and naive were over.
"So your married?" he was kind of confused by this.

am sure you will do well, I have faith in you even through we just met, I chuckle no he got rid off me, last thing I know he had a mistress. as I smile so am divorced,

He smiled at her confidence in him. "Then I suppose you will be traveling to Scotland soon?" he asked knowing her duty to her mistress was her main priority.

yes, I will but am liking it here at the moment as I blush slightly would you come and visit me there I look at him would you care to join me for dinner tis eve as I quickly cover my mouth as it slipped out

He thought about it for a moment. "Perhaps, I could visit you in Scotland King James is a good friend of mine." he said. "It would be my pleasure to join you my lady" he saw her blush which he thought was very cute.

I smile widely at him you would visit me, I shall hope to make you enjoy the stay am looking forward to it greatly, I did not know that you were friends with his Majesty I only know Princess Chandra. I look at him liking him more and more as I talk to him if you like I can show you to your chambers I then realise he had a long ride still not wanting him to go what time will be best for you

Yes James and William are family friends. I just haven't seen them in many years I didn't even know William got married, so it's only appropriate that I give my congratulations to him. He said wondering how Stuart brothers were. "Well I would like to change before we have dinner. So yes, if you could show me to my chambers."

I was strolling along a stone path until I hear my name"who said that?" I look around to see what the noise was. The voice belonged to a woman who happened to be that she would like me to accompany her"yes Madame?" I said in a French accent as I walk towards the fish pond

"I didn't quite see you Lady Anne. I thought it was some creature calling me. I put my hand on my heart as if i recovered from fright. "A walk you say? I would love to." it was a wonderful day outside.
