The Knights Of Jacedonia

Chapter Five

Leisel woke to grey skies in the unfamiliar room. Her thoughts ran to the night before. What had happened and where it had led her. She was still in the peasant dress she had bought after escaping the palace dressed as a servant. She sat up and looked around and noticed a small dress that had been laid on a chair. She got out of the bed and went to examine it. It was light blue almost lavender. It looked about her size. Unsure, she laid the gown back on the chair and went to the kitchen. Out the window she saw the two boys from last night, sparring. She looked around and saw no trace of anything that had been used to cook, nor did she smell anything. She decided to check around. She found a few things to make some bread, very few fruits,cheese, meat that had been stored,and a few eggs. She found a few pans under the sink and decided to make some eggs for the boys. She smiled humming thinking how her mother, would be so proud.

Marth swung at Roy, missed, and fell exhausted. They'd been at this for hours. "Marth. Rest. Your trying to hard." Marth sat up and smelled something. He saw movement in a window and stood up Bolting to the house, Roy hot on his heels. They burst in the door and heard a small crash, Marth immediately drew his sword. Roy touched his arm, and noticed there was no danger. But there was a very startled Leisel standing in the kitchen a small bowl broken at her feet. The boys rushed to clean it up before she got hurt, then they saw the food on the table. "i made you guys breakfast" Leisel said from behind them. "I even took a tray to your uncle. " Roy sat and began to eat. Marth turned to Leisel and noticed she was still in the same dress as last night. "I laid out another dress for you to change into. " he told her. "i saw that. But wasnt sure if it was for me. " She gave a light chuckle. "eat. Please" Marth sat and ate. Unaware of how hungry he actually was. Leisel went to change and came down a few minutes later. By then the boys were done and were cleaning up the kitchen. Leisel smiled. When the cleaning was done, they spent the day relaxing by the river. Butterflies gently fluttering, they laughed the day away, swimming and having fun. They went to bed that night easily. Except for Marth... Who was having the worst nightmare of his life.
