Yells rang out throughout the hall of the great manor. The servants cowered, knowing the lord was very angry with his daughter.
Inside the study, a young and beautiful woman sat stock still within a high backed chair, her emerald hues staring directly in front of her. A older man paced in front of her, shooting words at her every so often until the young woman managed to find her tongue.
"Father, who I marry shouldn't concern you. Verna is your brood mare not I! I will pick my own destiny!" The woman stood up, her silvery locks swirling about her shoulders as her dress fell gracefully into place. "Derke is my choice. I will move to his village if I must."
The woman stood stock still as her father surveyed her with absolute anger and loathing. "I've heard the rumors Katherine. Your with his child. You made sure I'd hear this news so I had no other choice. Just know... you are not my daughter" Walter, Count of Gresheld Falls turned away from his youngest child. As if she did not even exist.
Katherine, nodded slightly before turning and walking from the study, her maid met her at the door and walked with her, to wards her chambers. "I need my clothing, jewels. Everything. Derke promised to meet me at the gate within the eve. I will not let him down."
Kat and her maid went into the chambers and packed everything the young noble lady owned, sending for butlers and servants to carry all of it to a cart, to be taken to wards a small but prosperous village. This was to be the newlyweds new home. Kat, a woman of no more then 15 smiled to herself, her emerald hues directed toward the hills as she awaited her lover and husband
Soon I'll be my own woman! Soon I'll have no bonds to hold me.... Her eyes danced with determination and fire that wouldn't die down, that would carry on into the next generation. Katherine placed a hand upon her belly, barely able to feel the life quickening within her. "I know what I'll name you my dear.... Derke, after your father, if a boy is what the gods grace us. But... Calli if a daughter is what we gain." A secret smile alighted upon her lips as she saw, riding toward the castle, the large bulky figure of her lover.
Finally my life begins!
