Chapter5 – First day at home
Whenthey reached the estate Lily slid off the horseback and sank on herknees. For a moment she felt too weak to walk a single step but soonshe felt she wasn't alone.
Hishands were rough but helped her stand up and guide her through thedoor. For the first time she saw his home and liked it more thanNottingham castle. Here she could feel at home even she was still aservant and looked around what to do.
SirGuy's estate didn't look like it had been taken care of for at leasta week. Lily was ashamed his other servants weren't serving her heroproperly. Today he had saved her life and didn't fulfill thesheriff's order. He had proved to her what kind of man he was andLily wished to promise him she would never leave his side. If she hada voice she wished to use it to say something nice to him but insteadshe watched him hold her hand.
"Sit"
Shewatched him walking around his own home and a few moments later hecame back with an apple in his hands. The same hand offered the appleto her and happily she took it. The moment she wanted to take herfirst bite she stopped and started looking for a knife.
Lilydidn't want to eat alone when her master was hungry. She took onlyone half for herself and let Guy eat the other half. On his face shesaw a small smile and shyly she smiled too looking away from him anddidn't let him see her happiness.
Whenthey spent a few hours sitting together without speaking he left hischair to take her hand once more. "Your room is under the stairs.It's past the kitchen. Do you find it yourself?"
Lilynodded and quickly kneeled before she let go of him. No sign of anyother servants she took the last room and was peaceful when she laidon a small bed. It wasn't comfortable but still felt like a dream.
Inthe estate of her master she didn't have to sleep on cold ground. Shehad an old blanket in which she tugged herself in. Her thoughts werestill with Guy wondering about the next day as well as his night.
Wouldhe sleep well?
Didhe dream? And about what?
