Thomas chuckled "If you have to much you'll find the world spinning before you, and your judgement will be severely impaired." he said in a tone borne from experience, "And the next day you have the biggest headache you will ever have the displeasure of experiencing." he added in even tone. "Tomorrow you'll have training one way or the other, and I'd rather not have to explain why the you have a hangover to the captain." he said with a serious tone, "But one cup should be alright." he added as he took another sip from his cup. After allowing a moment for her to enjoy her first cup of wine he spoke "Tomorrow I'd like to introduce you to the sword after your morning exercise, I'll start you off with a wooden training blade and shield. If you'll be so kind as to work with me I'll do my best to provide you what comforts I can." he said in a sincere tone, "You did very well today, You have a real gift for picking up new skills. Keep up that pace and you be an expert by the time this experiment is finished." he added with a broad smile.

Amelia had finished her first cup of wine within a few minutes. She wasn't drunk, but she was tipsy. If only for the fact that she had never drank before and she was a small framed woman. She grinned a bit, from ear to ear, as Thomas spoke how she did well today. How she has a gift for picking up new skills. The rest she didn't really listen to. She got up from her chair and moved over to Thomas and sat on top of his lap. She wrapped her arms around his neck. "I think, I can learn new skills in a different department." Amelia seemed to be a flirt when tipsy. Her words though, well they came from overhearing servants having sex when she walked the halls near their rooms at night. Amelia leaned forward and kissed Thomas' cheek. "You're quite handsome you know."

Lena Komarine He was giving her the option to leave if she wanted to…Lena carefully considered his words as he went on to agree with her idea of the garden. It was a bit rewarding to hear he liked it enough to consider it. However, his words were weighing heavy on her mind as she leaned over and took the glass he had poured for her. She took a sip of the whiskey, and smiled at the flavor of it. “The Captains always get the good stuff.” She pretended to pout a moment before stirring the liquid around by moving the cup. She went quiet for a few minutes, staring into her glass as if she were in deep thought. She contemplated his words, wanting to hear him say them again in a different tone. However, she finally looked up once she decided on what to say.
“The other fort is not more desirable than here, Captain. Although it’s larger, and there aren’t any nobles driving soldiers mad, there is one thing that is missing from there that I would greatly miss having.” She explained before a soft smile came to her lips to show her sincerity. “You.” She told him before taking another sip. “I have had the privilege to meet many Captains during socializing events, and I must say that none of them compare to you in any way. If I want to give my best to the Helios Kingdom, then it will be a wise decision to stay by your side.” She further spoke before looking back down at her glass. She didn’t feel like that overstepped any boundaries, and she was telling the truth with her feelings, however Lena felt like she had lost one of her own pieces on her side with her words. Without even realizing it, she had made an opening for him and he was gaining traction…
She tilted her head back up as she pushed her chessboard away in her mind. “I think I should be a bit offended you would allow me to leave so easily, Captain.” And for a very brief moment, Lena’s carefree smile disappeared as the hurt from saying such words ran through her. “I suppose it wouldn’t really matter if I was gone, you do have a few other men around here that can do your bidding.” She chuckled before adding another sip of alcohol into her system. The hot burn she felt in her throat was welcomed as she leaned back to hear her thoughts confirmed by the Captain. Perhaps he would say her the trouble of clinging on to hope that someday they would be happily married with three kids (she would, of course, have three children), and maybe it would help her come to terms that her father was right about settling down with a man who courted her rather than the other way around. Although, Lena would point out that it’s nearly impossible for a woman to court a man like Captain Meinard Freudenberger who is harder to read than a book on the mathematical equations used for calculating the mass of the universe. |

Thomas sighed as Amelia sat on his lap “Amelia, your a vision of beauty this is a fact. But you have to consider your future, if you go through with this your father will disown you.” he said as he did his best to control his own desire to return the affections, “You need to save yourself for someone more deserving than a soldier, though I'm honored that you would call me handsome.” he added in a conflicted tone. “I want so very much to spend the night with you but you heard the captain, this will destroy both of our futures.” he said evenly as he lifted her off his lap, “Please just get some rest and we can discuss this when your not being controlled by the wine, If you still consider me handsome tomorrow that is.” he added with a slight laugh as he tried to defuse the situation.
As he stood and put his hands on her shoulders “You are an amazingly beautiful woman, were I of noble birth then tonight would go very different but I am not. I am simply a soldier of the realm.” he said in an even tone, “Perhaps a knight might be able to petition for your hand.” he added in a tone meant to plant an idea before removing his hands and stepping back. “Good night my lady, you should get cleaned up before bed. Tomorrow will bring new training exercises, I hope you'll enjoy them and do as well as you did today.” he said standing at attention before her before turning and entering his office and closing the door behind him, taking the two stashed bottles of wine with him.

Amelia frowned as Thomas started to reject her. Her father would never disown her! Clovis wouldn't allow for such a thing to happen. "You are quite deserving, Thomas. You're more amusing and fun than the other suitors my father has shown me. I don't like the 'princely' type." Amelia frowned when he lifted her off his lap and made her stand. "You know what the Captain doesn't know wont hurt him." She gave Thomas a puppy eye look. "And it isn't the wine talking. It's what I feel." She was not happy in the least that she was being denied.
"I don't care that you aren't of noble birth! Nobody does!" Amelia shut her mouth though and started to think about the knight position. "Then I will have you knighted! That takes care of our little problem, so please." Amelia took a step closer to him, but then he said good night and went to his study. She frowned as she sat down on the bed. "Jerk!" She called out. She was debating what she could do. She was going to have Thomas one way or the other so help her.
Amelia got up, tidied herself up and grabbed one of her more revealing outfits and put it on. She put her hair up in a fancy two pigtails. This all took about an hour total. She walked to the study door and knocked on the door. "Thomas, might I speak with you?"

Thomas had been sitting at his desk thinking about what he had set in motion, he hadn't counted on Amelia falling for him like she did. After an hour he looked up as he heard a knock at the door, perhaps I was to hard on Amelia, but she would lead us both down a dangerous path he thought as he heard her voice through the door "Of course Lady Amelia, just give me a minute." he said as he stood a buttoned his shirt back up, "What can I do for you?" he asked as he opened the door and saw how she was dressed. "Lady Amelia, Your quite stubborn. But I suppose you know that." he said as he motioned for her to enter the office, "Please, take a seat and tell me what you have on your mind." he added as he took a seat in his own chair.

 Harmony Adams
"Alright, I'll come see you in a bit. " she responded and started to follow Oliver. She had been around him a few times, but never really knew much about him. The with the exception of the twins and possibly Catherine, she wad not one who normally got close to others. Oliver was his normal cheery self from what she knew. He mentioned having a tray of food set aside for them both and Harmony smiled. "Thank you," she responded calmly. She did not wish to offend the soldier helping her and mentioned that they both had an opportunity to eat. She hoped chaos grabbed what ever catherine left behind, she did not wish to deal with rats.. Harmony found that she had started to relax as they were looking for Catherine. Oliver saw her first and immediately ran to her aid and picked up the bags that seemed to be part of the struggle the Noble woman struggled with. Harmony after a quick shrug walked over and decided to help with the trunk. It was heavy, but Harmony was sure it was too small be able hold the elephant her mind rationalized might be in it. It was heavy but nothing she couldn't handle. "I'm glad you are staying." She mentioned as she set to work. |

"I am use to getting what I want. Being told no is not something that I enjoy." Amelia replied to his stubborn part. She did not sit in the sweat though. She returned once more on Thomas' lap, this time, cowgirl style-ish. Her breast in Thomas' face barely being covered up by her dress. Her arms draped around him. "I want you to take me, Sir Thomas. As far as I am concerned from this moment that we are living in the here and now. You are the one that told me that we should appreciate that. So let's do just that and appreciate what we have right this moment." Amelia kissed Thomas' cheek. "So please, Thomas, I am asking you to lay with me." She looked him in the eyes with pleading look. She was going to get what she wanted one way or the other. She was quite horny and wanted to experience sex at this moment and she will have it.

Thomas chuckled "Turning my own words against me? Your quite the clever one." he said allowing the view to affect his own judgement, "We will be treading a dangerous path Lady Amelia, should we be discovered things will go badly for both of us." he added as he let a smile escape. "The captain can never learn about this, are you willing to keep this our secret?" he asked as took hold of her, "Very well then, let us become forbidden lovers and enjoy the moment." he added as he lifted her up and carried her to the bed.

Harmony Adams-----------------
It seemed the captain was able to talk to Catherine and bring her to a rational and reasonable agreement. She was going to stay a week, with the protection of her knight, and Harmony would be able to at least teach her the basics to defending herself. It wouldn't be much, maybe how to throw a proper punch and some kicks, but she would feel better that Catherine would not be a victim. Hopefully, it would help build the noble woman's confidence and she would be willing to stay a little longer than the week.
"That is fair." Harmony responded and brought the trunk along. "I am grateful that there is a week that we can work together. I will teach you, if you want, how to throw a proper punch. Men are less likely to attempt anything if you know how to deter them. " She smiled.
----------------------------Alexander Essex------------------------
Alexander raised his glass in imitation as he responded to Alex. "I'll toast to that one." Alexander could not help but feel that Cain was more entertained by Alex's actions that Alex was and that said a lot considering Alex was the one that had laid his hands on the woman's boobs. If Alex personality was anything like Cain's he probably would have been proud that he had managed to touch Catherine not once but twice. All it did was make him feel lousy and want to crawl under a rock. "Your sister prides herself on the fact that she has kept her chastity in tact." He spoke to explain why he referred to her as untouched. He did not know what others called her. He referred to her that way because he knew first hand how hard she fought to keep it that way. If the hidden scar on his scalp was not enough of a reminder.

-The day after_
As Thomas awoke at his usual early hour next to Amelia he realized that having broke the captains orders it was only a matter of time before he would find out and his years of service would end in disgrace, he will have to make the best of what time he has remaing to serve his homeland as best he could. He looked upon her content smile with one on his own, even if he had to surrender everything he would protect her from harm with his last breath if need be, "Time to wake up my lady, another day of training awaits us." he said in a steady tone as he shook her shoulder, "We should both clean up if were to maintain our deception, I'll get cleaned up first and leave clean water for you once I'm done." he added before gently moving from beneath the lovely lady on top of him.
As he cleaned himself up last nights efforts he thought Such a wicked web we weave when first practice to device, may the gods give me strength to keep up this ruse. After a quick bath behind locked door he emerged and took a clean uniform from his office "Part of our act will require you to play the role of good student and work with me, though not so completely that people might suspect something." he said in a serious tone as he began getting dressed in the main room, "I need to speak with the captain about taking the liberty of giving you your own room, I'll no doubt catch my ration of hell but it won't be the first time I've been chewed out. While I'm paying the price for getting you better quarters please start your morning exercises and jog with Clovis." he added as he made his way to the captain's office for his ......talk.
-two days later-
As the two days passed he had fallen in line with the revised training regime taking great care to keep their forbidden relationship secret, He had begun to teach Amelia basic sword techniques as well as allowing her to continue her crossbow practice in the afternoon with the introduction of chores in the evening. He also kept his daily meetings with the captain to update him on Amelia's progress and receive his orders concerning training making sure to not step out of line again.

Who Am I Really? Markus had spent the last two days with Henry by his side for the majority of the time. It was strange, at least to Markus, to constantly be around Henry who seemed to be keeping an eye out for him more than usual. Markus didn’t even think he would have his own room, let alone be treated so carefully by Captain Meinard who seemed to be more understanding and patient than from Markus could tell the first day he had arrived. Still, Markus felt completely out of his element with how he had to act like he didn’t care about training or becoming a better noble.
When he could, Markus found himself doing his routine training that the Royal Knights often did to keep their skills tuned. Henry was, unhappily, dragged into it as well so that Markus didn’t stand out, but it was during those moments that he found himself his most happiest. He had never trained with Henry before, sure they had a few spars over the years, but training side by side was a different thing entirely. Sitting in his room now though, Markus knew he had to wait for Henry to come get him after the trainers met for some sort of meeting.
So Estellé found herself relaxing without bandages on while laying down in her bed. She wore her normal uniform, but it felt less roomy than usual as she crossed one leg over the other and moved her hands behind her head. It was so strange, this entire experience, but at least it was giving her the chance to have moments of relaxation for once in her life. A content sigh left her lips before she heard a knock on the door. She glanced at it a moment before figuring it had to be Henry coming back early from the meeting. A smile came to her lips as she tossed on her jacket and buttoned it up halfway as she went to the door.
When she opened the door, however, she wasn’t greeted with familiar smile or talk of a princess trapped in a tower. No, Estellé found herself staring up at four burly men who were all grinning down at her. “Oi, you’re the little prince with the moves, aye?” One of them spoke, and Estellé raised a brow at him. “What?” She asked before the man reached out and pulled her out of her room by the collar of her jacket. “Ey says, you the little prince that knows how to fight, aye? We’ve seen ya with Eaton, yous don’t fight like a girl like the other royals. Yous gots moves, little prince.” He said right in her face, but all Estellé could think about was how she had left her bandages off that morning and how dangerously close she was to being discovered if the man holding onto her glanced down. So, she decided to put up a show to save her.
Grabbing the man’s hand, she squeezed it in a way that made him release her as she pushed away from him and glared at them all. “Aye, I have moves. What of it?” She asked while buttoning up her jacket as if she were undoing the wrinkles the man cover, rather than hiding her breasts before they were discovered. “What of it? We want to dance with ya, of course. See how good yous are. It’ll be fun.” The man replied before reaching his arm up and moving it around Markus’ shoulders to drag him with the others to the training field. Markus did his best to look annoyed as he fretted over how he would have to fight and hide his figure.
 Lena Komarine Lena was two seconds from giving up on Captain Meinard forever this morning as she kicked at a pile of dirt after her training that morning. For the past two days, Meinard had become an expert at avoiding her with making excuses such as being Elizabeth’s trainer, which she spit at the ground in disgust for even thinking the lady’s name, and also he had his normal duties and paperwork to do at night which didn’t leave any room for Lena to come in for a night cap. No night cap, no talking with Meinard, no progress! Lena repeatedly kicked the dirt as her anger rose, a cloud of dust surrounding her as soldiers walked by without even giving her a second glance.
When the dust settled, Lena had her arms crossed under her chest and was pouting at the ground as she fought with herself about giving up. “There are plenty of other Captains in the world!” She thought. And although Lena lied in her report about being requested by that other Captain, there certainly were a handful of captains that wanted her at their forts. She had looks that most elderly lieutenant men didn’t have, which was a big plus for many, but she also had smarts and ideas that proved useful. She could easily make a request for transfer and leave Meinard for good…
A sigh left her, her anger subsiding as the reality of being able to leave hit her. She really could just leave and make her life easier, but what would that gain? A husband she was adequately happy with? She didn’t want that. She wanted Meinard. Suddenly, laughing and shouting caught her attention as she lifted her head up to see a small group of soldiers walking to the training grounds. “Looks like another fight to see who’s the toughest idiot of them all.” She thought before looking away, but as she did so the bright blue color of a jacket grabbed her gaze and had her quickly looking back. Was that royal in the middle?! Lena’s eyes grew wide for a moment before she jumped into action and followed after the group.
When she caught up with the group of soldiers, Lena was ready to step in and stop the fight that was starting, but she found herself unable to move as she witnessed the royal throw the first punch. Surprised, Lena stood by to watch the fight continue on with the royal outnumbered four to one. The royal was handling himself rather well, far better than Lena would have been able to fight, or even someone like Chaos. Her heart suddenly felt heavier at hearing his name in her thoughts. She glanced off to the side, knowing Chaos was in the trainer meeting with everyone else, but for some reason wished he was there with her now to do commentary with.

Amelia had plenty of fun that night. So much so she did not want to wake in the morning. Not that she was the best morning person to begin with, but she really did not want to get up. She did not want to leave from Thomas' side. For the next day Thomas and her kept up their routine of how they were on day one. Except that Amelia was no where near as stubborn. Knowing that they would more than likely sleep together again, how could she be stubborn with him? As far as she was concerned she truly beleived she had him wrapped around her finger. Not the other way around.
The following morning, she also did not want to get up. Amelia was enjoying every moment with Thomas. Sleeping next to him she found herself enjoying quite a bit. Maybe this is what true love felt like. She had never been in love before and just assumed that this is what it was. Amelia got herself dressed in the training uniform. She even started to wear the boots that came with the uniform. It wasn't flattering but she would dress up afterwards.
Amelia knew it wasn't quite time for breakfast yet, but she was up and was wondering if Clovis was awake. She didn't get a lot of time to talk to him yesterday since she was starting to hang around Thomas a bit more. She walked to Joshua's room and knocked on the door. "Brother dear, are you awake?"
Stray was not amused with knowing they would be bunking in with the royals in his and Chaos' room. Which meant the small study had to be turned into a small bed as well. One that the twins would share. Stray was annoyed with this. He had earned this room along with Chaos. The two beds that had been in there were earned. It wasn't like he could argue the royals to share a bed. Let alone he wasn't going to allow Chaos to sleep in the same bed with Cain or Alex. Cain had shown such disguest that if he had to share a bed with another man he'd go off. He had even pulled out his sword and pointed it at Stray threatening him. Stray would have loved to have taken up the challenge, but promised to Cain he would have his own bed.
Stray made sure Chaos was up since they knew they were being called in for a meeting, before breakfast. For Stray that was not a problem, but for Chaos it was. Chaos was in his uniform but still a bit of a mess. Untucked, hair not really brushed. The two made their way to Meinard's office and awaited for the meeting to begin.
Cain actually was looking forward to rooming with Alex. Not so much Stray, but it wouldn't be that bad. Chaos seemed to be fun and even went in on a game night of poker between Cain and Alex. Sure it was only a three person game, but it was fun. Only thing that would have made it better was if there were ladies there and they were playing strip poker. Cain and Stray were fairly getting along. Cain was willing to go with the daily tasks and did not put up much of a fight until it had come to moving in with Stray. No way was he going to share a bed with a man. A woman, hell yea. Cain had heard the twins get up, but paid little attention it was too early to be waking up. He pulled the covers up over his head.
