A Royal Affair

The King and his new Queen

What was a King without his Queen? Nothing.

King Logan, the tyrannical leader of Albion a tall lanky man with dark hair and even darker bags under his sunken eyes one day came across a woman who was his exact opposite.

Hildegard Lionheart was a soft spoken gypsy who lived among a camp of others like her though she was unlike the other men and women the King had ever seen; her soft blonde hair adorned with braids and trinkets which fell to the small of her back set her aside from the muddy browns of her camp. Her porcelain looking skin only blemished by a scar on the right side of her face at her chin, who knew cracked porcelain could look so beautiful? This was what the King thought. Her slender frame hugged by the light colours of a dress that looked too good to be worn by a gypsy but on her it seemed perfect and as he looked up from her clothing and into those startling blue eyes he couldn't help but be further captivated by her. 

// Earlier that day //

Logan had been out in his carriage returning from making a deal with some representatives from the continent of Aurora when it all suddenly came to a halt, the unexpected stop caused the King to fall forward in his seat which caused a few curses to pass his lips. 

Frustrated and angry he thudded the top of the carriage to signal his foul mood however the footman did not reply, this only angered the King further.
Moving toward the door of his carriage he opened it somewhat and shouted out to his footman 

"What do you think you are doing!" He shouted, "I'm falling around in here like a dead man in a cart!" The king was beyond happy when the footman once again did not reply, ignoring his king? Did this man have a death wish? Logan opened the carriage door and stepped out on to a cobblestone road and walked round to the front only to see his footman cradling what seemed to be a woman in his arms, the King was perplexed in that moment but his anger was still prominent however as he drew closer to his footman his gaze fell upon the woman he was holding so tightly. 

"She came out of nowhere M'lord.. she fell from shock I reckon.." It was obvious that the footman held some form of guilt centred toward the girl, it was likely that he thought he had killed her and normally Logan wouldn't care but from the moment he laid eyes on the blonde haired woman before him he didn't care. 

"Put her in the carriage." The king demanded not giving the other the chance to say anything before turning on his heel and heading straight back for the door. 
"If you wish for me to forget this ordeal and allow you to continue having the pleasure to work for me I would move faster than the snail pace your moving at, Footman!" He shouted back to the man who sat in shock still holding the girl in his hands.

The footman scrambled to his feet lifting the unconscious girl once he was steady and shakily walked round to the door, 
"Forgive me, My King." He said as he placed her in the carriage as gently as he possibly could considering the dead weight she was and the sheer nervousness of possibly angering the King a second time. Once she was secure he closed the door and once again took his seat atop the carriage, taking the reigns in his hand and proceeding forward to Bowerstone Castle.

It was not often King Logan took women from the street, it was not often he took anyone for that matter but when he laid eyes on the angelic beauty sitting before him in the bouncing carriage he knew that he wouldn't be letting her go running off any time soon.

This woman was going to become his new Queen whether she liked it or not.  


It wasn't until they were back at the castle did the maiden awaken, she was incredibly confused at first much like any sane person would be but upon explanation of the events which took place mere hours before she quickly calmed and adjusted to her situation. 

Hildegard woke up in a room with little to no one in it, she actually thought she was alone until a quiet voice excitedly chirped that she was awake, the young woman searched for the voice and spotted another young lady dressed in maids attire however it didn't take her long to rush out the room to fetch the King who eagerly waited on her rousing from her fear induced slumber.
