Thread: When a Knight rescues an Elf (MasterOfWhispers and Scarlet Angel)

His mood was elated. She had said yes. A smile spread across his face I'm glad to here it. And just so you know I'll be even happier if you stay with us and settle down here. Though that is a matter for another time. After you stay here of course. Richard enjoyed how her hand felt when it she squeezed. For some reason the there was something oddly comforting about the motion. He was looking forward to getting to know the elf for the next couple of days. He had the feeling should would get well adjusted among his people. Outsider she may be, this province started out as a creation made by the biggest outsider in the history of this kingdom. Thank you. The knight responded. All out of work went into building the castle. My father's greatest master piece. And of course as time went on my siblings and I have added more to it. Be it new rooms and chambers. Come now, it's been a long journey and you still have to sleep. Shall we? Richard said offering his arm. The walk through the castle was silent and calm. Most of the servants have gone to bed and the Night Guard would soon awaken watch over the castle as the citizens began to sleep. In fact, the Night Guard would be awakening very soon. By the time they reached the main hall. A set of stair magically materialized at he center of the room. appearing from the stairs came a group of armored warriors who sported an insignia similar to what Richard wore buy quite different. Leading the group of solider was a woman paled skinned with brown hair. Her eyes, yellow as a wild beasts. Seeing Richard, he dashed over to where they are... Brother! I finally get to catch you before you sleep! the brunette girl spoke in an excited tone. Before she continued she noticed Elina next to her adopted sibling. Richard didn't know why but she sensed some tension in the air. Believing to break that tension, he immediately spoke. Ariana, this is Elina she's my guest here for the next couple of days. Elina, Ariana here is my sister and captain of the night guard. The knight was slightly nervous. The way that Ariana was looking at her companion didn't seem to bode well for her. Is that a problem? Oh no problem at all Ariana giggled. Richard knew the girl all her life to know that, that the giggle was fake. Considering how tired he was he was in no mood to press further. Ariana was a vampire who commanded the respect of the night guard. Mainly because she was sired by his adoptive father. And considering she was directly sired by her Reinhart. She was the one that would lead the Night Guard. Or the Reinhart vampire clan which has sworn to act as Machilda's night guard. Well it's nice to meet you Elina, I do hope you enjoy your stay here. Ariana continued on. For a moment her eyes went red, and her fangs appeared. The knight shot her a stern look. We'll be going now. The night guard I'm sure has a lot to do. Especially with setting up preparations for the Founder's festival tommorrow. The knight spoke. In other words he was telling her to not threaten one of his guests. He never really understood why Ariana got so jealous around the females the warrior spoke with. Of course. My Lord... The girl responded. feeling put off. Richard guided Elina to the guest room. While the night guard was left with attending to her own duties. Approaching the stairs. They finally reached the outside of the guest room. I have to apologize for my sister's behavior. She's really nice. And despite what one may think of Vampires. Ariana has always been the most cordial and polite to guests. Never really understood why she treats the guests I bring so harshly. The knight said. Of course he was careful not to mention that a lot of the guests he brought over were female nobles. Most of those nobles were brought to the province as a form of protection against any potential plots or assassinations. Well here's your room. This room is normally reserved for my personal guests. Main reason. This room is right across the hall from mine. Anything you need, I can attend to you myself personally. Well... ready for bed?
