>>5146988Hosannah messire ! Hosannah !
>>5147608>>5147191You decide to try to calm the lady, you wanted to caress her cheek but unfortunately your hands were still full of mud so you did what you had to do. You kissed her. It was a passionate kiss, she was surprised at first but she was skilled in this art and quickly you were like Lancelot and Guinevere. After the kiss you looked at her bright blue eyes and said.
-Shhh, do not worry, I trust you, do not tell this to anyone.
She smiled and kissed you again, she said that you were brave, and a true knight. Well, lots of ladies already said that to you, and why not ? It was the truth after all. You continued kissing before you thought that a bed would be better than the cold roof of the dungeon, and it was better with hands not full of mud. Censorship and good manners will forbid your narrator to talk about the next few hours but you understood that the rumours were true. With age came experience and... By Sainte Marie-Madeleine... This woman was so supple, she was truly inhuman. And she seemed absolutely not shy about nudity, even less so than some ladies of low virtue that you met in Paris. Maybe it was her travelling lifestyle, bohemians and other gipsies were known for their lack of restraint, or it was cultural, after all they were pagans living in the trees.
You were caressing her hair, it was terribly soft, and she said.
-You... You are so kind my lord... And yet.. I fear for you.
So you asked her.
-You talked about people wanting to kill me, but who are they, and why ? I am not from here and I do not know about your customs, I have not committed treason...
-No my lord but those who want to kill you fear that non magical people, or people who distrust magic have some power. Practically every nobleman has a mage as a councillor and you.. You seem to be protected against magic. There were some people who were naturally gifted like this, but they were exterminated by mages and elves a long time ago. Some say that there is still some people like this amongst barbarians of the north, they wanted to kill all mages and elves... I know that you do not want to kill mages or elves, even if you seem to be a bit fearful of magic, but they will think that you want to do it, or that you can do it... So they will not take risks, some of them are ruthless.
You answered confidently.
-Do not worry, all is in the hands of God now. And for the rest, I killed a turtle a single combat so some magicians will not stop me.
She looked at you, intrigued, then smiled sadly, and bit her lip, she seemed to want to say something and finally said it.
-I hope you are not harmed. But know that my father, and I, we will forever be grateful. You saved our lives, and for people who can not die of old age it means a lot.
