2012-04-14 [Cerulean Sins]: "Never to early for wine."He muttered and he poured himself another glass of wine.

Bjiou nodded and smiled."Thank you." Started walking down to Miss Molly's stall.

2012-04-14 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella went back to the villa, still congratulating herself on shocking so many people.

Molly was siting down, finishing up some shoes. Her husband was next to her, starting a new pair.

2012-04-14 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano sighed and shook his head."Crazy women."He downed his wine.

Mona was out in the court yard with a big wooden bucket. She walked to the well to get water, so she could wash the dinning hall's floor before dinner.

Bjiou stopped in front of Molly's stall."Bonjour."She smiled.

2012-04-14 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella rode past Mona, looking quite smug and pleased with herself. "Hello Mona!" She said as she dismounted, "And yes, when you hear the rumors that I proposed marriage to Stephano, those are true."

Molly looked up, "Bonjour Madame!"

Charles and Jerico were in very plain dress... Charles looked nothing like a Prince, and it was only people who really knew what he looked like that knew he was royalty.

2012-04-23 [Cerulean Sins]: Mona looked at Isabella looked at her in shock."You proposed marriage to Stephano?"

Bjiou smiled."I was told to come to you for shoes."

2012-04-23 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella nodded a little, laughing more. "Yes, I did. I only did so to get back at my father for having some women spread a rumor about us."

Molly smiled, "Yes, yes." She nodded, "Here we have some, and I have others in our wagon."

2012-04-23 [Cerulean Sins]: Mona laughed and shook her head.

"I need a pair of shoes to match my white and gold dress."Bjiou said.

2012-04-23 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella grinned a little, "What? This is my last year of being properly eligible by my 'youth and beauty', and then the only think keeping me on the marrying market will be my father's wealth.. And that will only last another year-two if I am 'lucky' and then I will be free to do as I wish. I may as well cause trouble while I'm not just an endearing old spinster."

Molly nodded, "Alright, I have a few pairs that will go well with those colors... Here we are." She pulled out a couple wooden boxes.

2012-04-24 [Cerulean Sins]: Mona chuckled."So young. You'll still get marriage proposal. At least your not 25 and considered an old hag."Mona chuckled as she shook her head.

Bjiou smiled."Ohhhh.....theses are beautiful."

Nicolas left the room and went to check on Bjiou. He knocked on her door, frowned when he got no answer so he walked into her door but only to find her missing."Bjiou...."He muttered angrily. He turned around and stormed angrily out of the room and went in search of his sister.

2012-04-24 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella chuckled softly, "I would be concerned about a marriage proposal if I had any use for it. As it is, I don't believe in love... And I have no need to marry. My father is at least kind in that way. I will inherit from him, and don't need a husband." She sighed heavily, "My mother thinks I am." She smiled and shook her head a little. She walked over to her, "And you are neither old, nor a hag." She crossed her arms, "I don't see why it should be so different for men then it is for a woman. A man at forty years of age, still has time to marry, so long as he finds a bride young enough."

Molly smiled a little, "They will look wonderful with your dress, you must try them on." She nodded a little.

Fiorella was walking down the hall, dressed and with her hair done, and room cleaned up. She was walking around, holding one shoe and obviously searching for the other.

2012-04-24 [Cerulean Sins]: "Isabella do not say such things."Mona playfully scolded her.

Bjiou smiled and nodded. She slipped her shoes off and tried the news ones on."Ohhhh.....they fit!"

Nicolas had a face like thunder as he walked researched for his sister.

2012-04-24 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella smiled a little, "You're right, I've caused enough scandal for one day."

Molly smiled and nodded as she checked the fit carefully. "They were meant to be Madam."

Fiorella walked out of the room and strait into Nicolas with a squeak.

2012-04-24 [Cerulean Sins]: Mona smiled and nodded."Good. Now how's your father?"

"Oui, I shall take them."Bjiou smiled brightly.

Nicolas grabbed Fiorella so she didn't fall down."Mademoiselle, are you alright?"

2012-04-24 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella nodded a little, "Other then been a troublesome old man, he's good." She smiled.

Molly smiled, "Is there anything else I can get you?"

Fiorella looked up at him and nodded, blushing, "I'm so sorry. I wasn't paying attention to where I was walking. Are you alright?"

2012-04-24 [Cerulean Sins]: "I'm glad."Mona smiled.

Bjiou shook her head."No. This is enough." She smiled as she took the shoe and put her old ones on.

"Oui I am alright. And it's alright we all have moments in the clouds."Nicolas said."And I wasn't looking where was going, so I am sorry, Mademoiselle."

2012-04-24 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella nodded a little, "This recent stunt of mine will keep him entertained for a while. But his revenge will be severe.." She chuckled softly.

Molly nodded, "Would you like me to send someone to the villa with them?"

Fiorella smiled and nodded, "I am Fiorella, you can call me Ella. Though I suppose it would be proper to call me by my last name, wouldn't it?" She chuckled a little. This was her first year as being presented as a proper Lady, and her father hadn't been very strict about her taking her lessons. "I'm Lady von Demeter, if you want to be proper."

2012-04-24 [Yudan333]: "Proper? Pish posh. A lady can do whatever she like just like a man." A young voice came from the tree above both Fiorella and Nicolas. The young man had dark hair and matching eyes his accent that of German decent. He stood up his bow at his shoulders and a full quiver behind him, "From the looks of it Ella could use some good company!" The young boy hopped down having no problems. He knelled before her taking her hands kissing it, "I am Orzlek of Germany. I am with Prince Roopertti though he is most likely gandering at woman. I am at your service. Is this goblin giving you trouble. I can escort him." Such big talk for such a young man but it was quite cute especially with him dressed up like a Robin Hood figure.

2012-04-24 [Cerulean Sins]: Mona smiled."I wonder what he will have planned."

Bjiou smiled and nodded."Yes, please."

Nicolas was about to introduction him to Fiorella but Orzlek interrupted. He looked at Orzlek and raised his eyebrow at the boy."Goblin?"

2012-04-24 [Yudan333]: [not gonna post till she does. it will be u then her then ME! ^^ wee!]

2012-04-24 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: "He will be severe upon me, no doubt." Isabella said with a slight nod.

Fiorella giggled a little when Orzlek called Nicolas a goblin. She curtsied to him, "I thank you, young master, but this man is not a goblin, he has been ever the gentleman since we collided." She smiled a little, carefully fixing the hat upon the boy's head.

Molly nodded a little, "I shall send my husband directly."

2012-04-24 [Yudan333]: He stood from his kneel, "Well if ye are sure then I shalt talk him away. Where abouts are you going miss Fiorella? And you sir stand up straight and wipe that look off yer face! What's yer name?"

2012-04-24 [Cerulean Sins]: Mona chuckled."I wouldn't expect anything less."

Nicolas wasn't use to kids ordering him about. He wasn't sure how he felt, he wasn't very so-called person. He kept his eyebrow raised."Lord Nicolas Luigia of Languedoc. Now if you will excuse me, I must find my sister. À la prochaine." He bowed then walked away. À la prochaine means until next time.

Bjiou smiled."Oh thank you!"

2012-04-24 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Fiorella smiled, biting her lip to keep from laughing. She curtsied to Nicolas before he walked away, then looked back to Orzlek, "I am in search of a shoe." She said, holding up the shoe.

Molly smiled, then walked back to her husband, tapping on his shoulder a little to get his attention.

2012-04-24 [Yudan333]: Orzlek watched the man leave and stuck his tongue out then grinned cheesily as though knowing he won the maiden fair and square. He blinked, "Oh? An adventure! I swear to you princess I will find your shoe!" He took it and examined it carefully, "But of course since I am doing this noble deed will I be greatly rewarded?" He looked to her smiling in hope.

2012-04-24 [Cerulean Sins]: Nicolas left the villa and walked to the market, knowing that his sister would be there. He would drag her back to the villa if he had to.

Bjiou looked at the other shoes for a moment then she glanced around at all the people at the market. She noticed
Charles and Jerico at a stall near the shoe stall she was at. She looked away from them, she didn't want to get caught staring. God that would be so embarrassing! She saw a beautiful dark blue shoes with gold beads sewed on.

2012-04-24 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Fiorella touched her nose, "I shan't tell you what your reward will be, but indeed, you shall be." She smiled a little and started to resume her search with him, "Oh, and I'm not a princess, but thank you for saying so." She grinned a bit, "Just a wealthy man's daughter."

Charles and Jerico were talking over an array of weapons, thinking of getting one for the youngest of their friends traveling with them. His collection was not as large as either of theirs. But the two couldn't agree on what was appropriate for him.

Tasya and her sister were stuck on the road coming into town. The rain the night before had already dried on the roads, except were wagons had made ruts and wholes. Their wagon wheel was stuck in the thick mud, and no one was on the road right now to help them. Tasya sighed, "Rest the horse Kisha." She shouted forward as she gave up pushing in the back.

Kisha sighed, "You should have never let me drive!" She said, pouting a little, "I ruin everything." She was in one of her moods after she'd broken one of her sisters favorite neckless, and now she had gotten them stuck.

2012-04-24 [Yudan333]: He smiled and climbed into a tree and looked around as he walked branches to another, "Hmm, I have to say you fooled me!" He ran along the branches and looked around. He stepped on a rather weak branch hearing it crack and stood still hearing it continue to crack. Growing nervous he screamed and ran across it as it began to break and fall. He leapt down ducking and rolling into some bushes. "Oww!"

2012-04-24 [Cerulean Sins]: Nicolas saw his sister."Bjiou! Que pensez-vous que vous faites, ma sœur? Vous êtes censé être le déballage ne ​​pas faire du shopping! Qu'est-ce que le père pense que si il vous a vu en ce moment?"He said as he walked up to her ( Translation: Bjiou! What do you think you are doing, sister? You are meant to be unpacking not shopping! What would father think if he saw you right now? )

Bjiou flinched and turned around and saw a very angry Nicolas walking towards her."Mon frère, s'il vous plaît, je voulais juste de regarder autour. Je n'ai pas une robe pour le bal italien. S'il vous plaît ne pas dire à mon père?" (Translation: Brother, please, I just wanted to look around. I don't have a Italian dress for the ball. Please don't tell father? )

2012-04-24 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Jerico and Charles both stopped, looking at Nicolas and Bjiou. Charles shook his head to Jerico, he understood some French, so he knew at least that they were siblings. He pointed to a battle ax, "He hits like a hammer, he needs an ax."

Jerico glanced at the siblings, then to the battle ax, nodding, "Fine, but he should learn how to become more skilled with knives."

Fiorella watched him, "Orzlek!" She covered her mouth when he started falling, running over to him. She moved the bushes so she could see him, "Are you alright?" She wanted to be careful with him, you never know if someone has broken something, and if he had, it would be best not to move him until the break was braced.

2012-04-24 [Yudan333]: He saw her face and smiled a bit climbing out of the bushes and brushed off. He was a bit dirtied especially his cheek. He rubbed his head, "I'm alright princess. Oh you know I did find your show though. It stabbed into my back when I landed." He offered it to her.

2012-04-24 [Cerulean Sins]: Nicolas sighed loudly, only like a brother would."Vous auriez pu attendre pour moi, Bijou!" He through his hands in the air. (Translation: You could have waited for me, Bijou!)

Bijou sighed like a sister would, she was getting angry."Laissez-moi tranquille, Nicolas! Je n'ai pas besoin que vous comme mon baby-sitter!" She stormed away from him, she was muttering French curse words under her breath. Her brother had ruined her happy glow of being in a new place. (Translation: Leave me alone, Nicolas! I do not need you as my babysitter!)

2012-04-24 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: "So you have." Ella took the shoe and smiled. "Alright, you're reward young master." She leaned in and kissed his cheek, then she carefully kissed the one that was a bit dirtied, careful because she thought there might be a scrape under that dirt. Then she did a third thing, "And for being so very brave." She took the ribbon out of her hair and held it out to him, "A token to keep you safe."

2012-04-24 [Yudan333]: He smiled and blushed at the kisses to the cheek and seemed to melt as his little fists tightened, Wow I got kissed by a pretty princess! He took the ribbon and smiled as he lightly inhaled her scent, "Ahh I am graced by an angel no princess." He kissed her hand, "Well I thank you quite kindly and I am glad to have served you. However I gotta go find my brother per-say. If you wish to accompany me you may."
[im getting off so you can post reply and i'll read back and let you too go dont wait up on me ^^]

2012-04-24 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Charles paid for the ax and looked at Jerico, "And he will, eventually. But for now. The ax will aid him."

Jerico nodded a little, "You are right, of course My lord."

Alastair was watching Nicolas and Bijiou, then looked at Charles. There were quiet a few royals here this year.

Ella smiled a little and nodded, "I believe I will join you." She stood and slipped on her shoes.

2012-04-24 [Cerulean Sins]: Bijou stumbled a upon a water fountain. She sniffed softly and sat down on the warm marble bench, hoping that her brother wouldn't follower her. She placed her hand in her lap as she pouted. She knew her father wanted her to be safe but Nicolas should have known that she would have been too excited to just unpack. She sighed softly.

Nicolas's eye was twitching as he watched Bijou storm away from him. He sighed softly as he shook his head and walked away. He knew his sister need time to cool down and so did he.

2012-04-24 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Alastair pushed off the wall and pushed his hood down, taking his horses reins and walking to the fountain. Most people around here did the same with their horses, so he figured it would be ok. He left Bijiou alone for a moment, before speaking, "Are you alright M'lady?"

2012-04-24 [Cerulean Sins]: Bijou looked over at Alastair."Oui, yes, sir."She smiled but it was forced.

2012-04-24 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Alastair nodded a little, "If you say so M'lady." He said quietly,

2012-05-06 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: [Anybody there........?]

2012-05-06 [Cerulean Sins]: [Hiya :D]

2012-05-06 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: [HI Dear :D!!!]

2012-05-06 [Cerulean Sins]: [How are you? :)]

Bijou nodded and looked at the water in the fountain. She took a coin out of her purse and tossed it into the fountain and wished that her brother would give her some freedom so she could find love.

2012-05-06 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: [Pretty good, how are you?]

Alistair watched her for a moment, then turned to his horse. "Come on, we have work." He said softly.

2012-05-06 [Cerulean Sins]: [Good good :) Well I was happy as larry until I woke up to find a mountain of dishes which I washed then got bitched at by my mum for not washing *sighs* So I'm in a strop with her....and weirdly enough with daddy too....XD]

Bijou sniffed as she stood up and ran back to the villa, to her room. She would not cry in front of strangers, she would cry once she is alone.

2012-05-06 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: [Oh dear o.0]

Alistair watched her run off, then got on his horse and rode out of town.

2012-05-06 [Cerulean Sins]: Bijou ran into her room and locked the door. She laid on the bed and cried.

[Yep it sucked >><]

2012-05-06 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: [I bet. It's happened to me too.]

Tasya sighed a little and walked to the front, "You, Kisha, I want you to get in the back of the wagon and don't talk to anyone. Hide if you must. If someone tries to take anything, let them have it. But scream and fight if they try to take you. I'm riding into town to get some help." She unhooked the horse and climbed on top of him, "Go Kisha, now."

Kisha sighed a little and climbed into the wagon, closing it's openings, "Fine." She said once it was all closed up, watching her sister ride off.

2012-05-06 [Cerulean Sins]: [I hate it when Parents like point out faults with childrens work >.< ]

Mona carried two large buckets back into the villa and she set to work on washing the floors. Mona pretty much cleaned up after everyone all the time and weirdly enough she loved it.

Stephano was examining the old sword that Isabella gave him.

2012-05-07 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: [Yeah, no kidding. But what can you do?]

Tasya found the villa first and looked at it with a long and low whistle. She shook her head a little, she could never tie herself to one place for all of her life. Some thought she should try and give her sister a 'better' life, but what was so much better about it. She had made sure that Kisha knew how to read and write, and Kisha knew three languages already.

Isabella was with her father, walking into town, and laughing about what trouble she'd caused. Her father wanted to get her a new dress for her to wear tonight-well, her mother did. But her mother was to distressed to show her face except to closest friends. Her father directed her to the dress stall, and told her he had some business. He went to Stephano's shop and walked in. "Hello?" He called.

2012-05-07 [Cerulean Sins]: [Act like a 12 year old XD]

Stephano stood up then he walked out to the front of the shop. He saw Isabella's father."Your daughter is a menace to my health." He poured to glasses of whiskey and held out a glass to him."Drink?"

2012-05-07 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: [True :D Or cause a general bit of trouble like Isabella xD]

He laughed and took the drink, "No, that is what her mother has claimed... She can be a menace to your head though." He sipped the whiskey, "You know she only meant it to cause trouble."

2012-05-07 [Cerulean Sins]: [so true XD]

Stephano nodded."I know she means to cause trouble but must she do it around me?"He sighed and sipped his drink.

2012-05-07 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: "I think causing trouble for you was an added bonus." He nodded a little, "So, what projects are you working on now."

2012-05-07 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano scoffed a little."Bonus."He shook his head."My new project is getting that sword of yours more up to date."

2012-05-07 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: He looked at him and frowned a little, "Sword?"

2012-05-07 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano nodded."Yes."He nodded to the older man to follow him into the back room where the sword was.

2012-05-07 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: He fallowed him to the back and looked at it. "That's going to be quite and undertaking..." He looked at him, smiling a little, "I am getting old. I don't remember asking her to bring this to you."

2012-05-07 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano sipped his drink."She didn't want me to tell you but I didn't want to hide this from you."

2012-05-07 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: He nodded a little, "Well... We'll see what surprise she has in store." He chuckled softly.

2012-05-07 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano chuckled and he sipped his drink."So how have you been?"

2012-05-07 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: He nodded a little, "I've been alright. I'm getting old."

2012-05-07 [Cerulean Sins]: "Your not old."Stephano smiled a little.

2012-05-07 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: He chuckled a little, "Oh, yes I am Stephano. You know, I forgot last night when I asked my daughter to bring me her mother." He shook his head

2012-05-07 [Cerulean Sins]: "Really?"Stephano asked with one eyebrow raised.

2012-05-07 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: He nodded, "My wife came storming over to me, asking me why I wanted her..." He shook his head a little, then shrugged, "I mended it by suddenly dancing with her, but I think she wanted to kill me."

2012-05-07 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano chuckled."Dancing always helps."

2012-05-08 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: He nodded, "If you ever trouble yourself with marriage, always remember that." He chuckled a little and looked to the front when he herd the door open, "That'll be my daughter."

2012-05-08 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano chuckled."I'll keep that in mind, sir." He finished his drink.

2012-05-08 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: [SOrry Yudan, I thought I replied to you a long time ago 0.o]

Fiorella let the young lad take her off to meet the man who was so like a brother to him. She was still worried that he was hurt and just not saying anything.

Isabella walked to the back to see them, "Father." She smiled, "If you insist on fallowing Mother's whims of getting me new things, you have to be there to pay.."

2012-05-08 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano looked over at Isabella."Hi trouble."He grinned.

2012-05-11 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella grinned, "You're calling me trouble? You two are double trouble... I hope you two weren't planning revenge."

"And if we were?" Her father chuckled

"Just remember I'm better." Isabella said with a shrug and a sweet smile.

2012-05-11 [Cerulean Sins]: "I'm too busy for trouble, trouble."Stephano grinned.

2012-05-11 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella laughed, "Oh, as if, your middle name is trouble, Sir. And you'll live your life figuring new ways to cause it."

2012-05-11 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano shrugged."But during this stupid festival I'm too busy for trouble."

2012-05-11 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella looked to her father, "Poor, poor thing... During this festival he makes enough to support him through the year and more.." She walked over, making her father face Stephano, "Can you not see the suffering on his face?"

Her father just laughed, patting her daughter's arm. "You're not helping by proposing to him."

"Which, I'll remind you, he never really answered me." She raised her eyebrows, moved behind her father and peered at Stephano over his shoulders, "Whatever do you think the neighbors will say?" She chuckled, "I dare say they'll pity me and call him a seducer and a heart breaker." She giggled.

2012-05-11 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano sighed loudly."You where joking around and causing trouble, which makes the proposal moot."

2012-05-11 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella smirked, "Think back to the two women who herd me. They would take you seriously if you told them you were secretly a woman and new a spell to make pigs fly." She giggled a little. "Oh, I do love causing trouble, specially for grumpy old men like you." She gently poked his nose and grabbed her father's hand, "Come on Papa! I think I'll buy a white dress." She wiggled her eyebrows.

2012-05-11 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano sighed loudly and poured himself another drink."You drive me to drink, Izzy."

2012-05-11 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: "No dear, my father started it. He drove you to drink first." Isabella smiled brightly and pulled her father along, "Bye!" She called and looked at her father. He was just laughing and shaking his head.

2012-05-12 [Cerulean Sins]: "Bye."Stephano called and he could feel his forehead twitching a little.

2012-06-14 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella and her father went on their way

2012-06-14 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano went back to examining the sword for a while then he started sharpening other warriors swords.

Mona was humming softly as she cleaned the pillars at the front of the house.

Nicolas sighed softly as he walks around the market, collecting all of his sister's items. He thought if he does something nice then she will forgive him.

Bijou silently cried in her room for a while then she stopped and sat out on the balcony, painting.

2012-06-14 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella grinned a little when she herd people around them whispering, and pointing to her.. Just to put some stock into the rumor, she went to one of the dress makers and got a beautiful and full white gown. It had gauzy layers of fabric on top so the blue/green under fabric would show. It had lace on the neckline to give a little more modesty then the low cut dress actually provided. It was a loose fitting dress, an empire waistline which wasn't very common yet. The blue/green fabric underneath was silk, clinging to the body and would show off her curves. The sleeves would go to her elbows, and were very flowy too.

Jerico had left the town, going back to the vista and was walking around, exploring. He was looking up at the carved detailing that had gone into the beams holding up the floor above them. He wasn't paying attention to his feat and knocked over a bucket of water. With a soft curse he turned his attention to it, finally spotting Mona in the corner of his eye. "My apologies madam." He said before pulling off his shirt to mop up the water. His back was littered with scars from battle wounds.

Tasya rode into town and dismounted, letting her horse drink, searching for someone willing to help her. Most ignored her, or told her they would help for a 'price'. The offers of help for sex, she rejected, usually with a smack. She was getting frustrated and worried because she didn't want to be away from her sister for so long.

Edward was in a courtyard below, with some of the local and servant children. They were using sticks for swords and he was teaching them how to sword fight.

2012-06-14 [Cerulean Sins]: Mona blinked out of her thoughts when she heard the bucket of water was knocked over. She glanced down at herself and saw that her dress was soaked and there was a puddle forming around her. She looked at Jerico, she gripped his hands."Your getting your shirt wet and dirty."She said softly.

Nicolas looked at Tasya and saw her panicked look on her face. He walked over to her."Is everything okay, madam?"He asked softly.

Bijou dabbed her eyes with a silk handkerchief as she watched the children learn how to sword fight. She smiled a little.

2012-06-14 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Jerico smiled a little, "Seems fair." He nodded to her dress. He soaked up as much water as he could in the shirt, then wrung it out in the bucket. "I was admiring the carving." He said quietly, "I really am sorry."

Tasya looked at him and sighed, "I'm trying to find someone who will help me. My wagon is stuck in the mud, and no one's willing to listen or help without a price. A price I refuse to pay. I may be a gypsy, but I don't have to be treated like a wench." She huffed, crossing her arms.

Edward smiled as a couple little girls ran over with sticks of their own, but the boys tried to tell them no. Edward chuckled a little and shook his head at the boys, "Little girls should learn too, now come here girls." He knelt down, "What's your names?" They gave their names and he smiled, "Beautiful names for beautiful girls. Now let's see those swords." He got the girls caught up

2012-06-14 [Cerulean Sins]: Mona nodded a little."It's okay, sir."She took his shirt and folded it."I'll wash your shirt for you."

Nicolas nodded."I'll help you."

Bijou folded her handkerchief and put it on the table as she sat down. She saw the girls learning how to sword fight and she smiled. It reminded her of when she got her fencing lessons.

2012-06-14 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Jerico shook his head a little, "It's alright madam, I have others." He took the folded shirt as he stood, bowing a little. He gave her a soft smile, "Can I retrieve more water for you?"

Tasya stopped and looked at him, "You will?" She looked relieved, but also skeptical.

Edward encouraged everyone, even the little girls, to learn how to use a sword.

2012-06-14 [Cerulean Sins]: Mona looked up at him and shook her head."No thank you." She stood up as she picked up the bucket."But I will wash and dry your shirt for you. No guest of mister von Demeter should help a servant."She said softly but politely then she bowed and walked to laundry room.

Nicolas nodded."Helping you will be better than dealing with my sister."He chuckled a little.

Bijou leaned back on her chair and she looked up at the clear blue sky. Her white silk handkerchief blew off the table by the wind and it slowly fell to the ground.

2012-06-14 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: "And why would that be?" Jerico asked, fallowing her to the laundry room.

"Ooh, what did you do?" Tasya asked, raising a brow as she started back to her horse.

Edward was now playing the evil guy, and had around ten kids chasing him with their swords. He looked over and saw the handkerchief and picked it up

2012-06-14 [Cerulean Sins]: Mona frowned a little when she heard him following her."Because you are a guest and I am a servant."

Nicolas followed her."Told her that she could have waited for me before she went shopping. but of course Bijou over reacted."He sighed.

Bijou leaned on the railings and looked down at children in the courtyard sword fighting and giggling. She smiled and chuckled softly.

2012-06-15 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: "I am a servant too, you know. A knight really is a servant in shiny things." Jerico said with a shrug, fully intending on taking his shirt back.

Tasya smiled a little and nodded, "Well, maybe you ought to treat her like a woman."

Edward looked up and smiled to Bijou when he spotted her, not noticing one little girl ready to jab at his stomach. He oofed and doubled over.
"That's why your not supposed to take your eyes off of you foe." The girl exclaimed, repeating on of his rules with triumph.

2012-06-15 [Cerulean Sins]: Mona shook her head a little as she walked into the laundry room. She put down the bucket and started fetching hot water to wash his shirt. She poured buckets of water into a big basin. She put it shirt in, she knelt on the floor and grabbed a bar of rose soap and she started washing his shirt.

Nicolas shrugged."I could but I must treat her as a lady."

Bijou giggled when the little girl jab the man's stomach and quoted his rule.

2012-06-15 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Jerico snatched up the shirt and put it on, just like that, wet and soapy. He had a smug grin after that.

"A lady is still a woman, I can guaranty that there is no difference." Tasya said with a raised brow, daring him to contradict her. "Just because she's got a fancy dress and good education, doesn't mean she's not a woman, just means that men impose different rules on them."

Edward chuckled as he got to his feet, "Indeed, now go off on your own, no hitting each other!" He called after them, then tucked the handkerchief into his pocket and started climbing the tree near the veranda.

2012-06-15 [Cerulean Sins]: Mona gasped when the shirt was taken from her hands. She looked up at him."I will not have you walking around in a wet and soapy shirt. You'll catch your death. Now give me the shirt and I'll wash and dry it for you."She said softly and politely.

Nicolas nodded."I know."

Bijou was smiling as she watched the children play. She didn't notice Edward climbing the tree.

2012-06-15 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: "And what Miss, are you going to do?" Jerico raised his brows, arms crossed.

"Then why, Sir, do you think she wants these rules?" She'd walked beyond the town with him and turned, smiling a little when she noticed the horse fallowing them, "Good girl." She said, stoking the horses muzzle before turning back to him. "She can still be a lady, and have freedom. You just need to trust your sister more."

Edward smiled and settled on a branch near her, "M'Lady."

2012-06-15 [Cerulean Sins]: "Cry."Mona smirked.

"She is here to find love and our father sent me with her to keep her safe. The word protecting does not work well with my sister."

Bijou eeped and jumped when Edward spoke. She looked over at him."Bonjour."

2012-06-15 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Jerico nodded, "Go ahead Madam." He smirked a little more, walking back the way they had come.

"Keeping her safe doesn't mean you can't let her shop on her own. Of course there are dangerous men out there, in the town, there are good ones too. And how is she going to find love dragging you around?"Tasya looked at him, "Speaking from experience, you have to be careful, or one day you'll learn that your sister has run off with the worst of them all." She sighed a little, "My dearest fried had an older brother and father who just wanted the best for her, but they restricted her so much, that she ran off.. A week later her body was found in the woods." She sighed softly. "I understand though, I have a little sister myself. All I want to do is keep her locked away, where I know she'll be safe.. But it wont work. She's too much like me, free spirited."

Edward smiled a little, "I am sorry M'lady, I did not mean to frighten you."

2012-06-15 [Cerulean Sins]: Mona glared at him as he walked away from her.All she could think about water drops and soapy bubbles falling onto the marble floor.

Nicolas shrugged."Bijou is happy and amused with simple things. You give her a dress and she is happy."

Bijou smiled a little."It's alright, sir."

2012-06-15 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Jerico used a servant's exit when he saw it, that way he didn't track water on the clean floors. Once outside, he pulled it off and walked on to his camp.

"How do you know? Have you ever talked to her about other things? Or just about what she would like to buy when she wants to?" Tasya asked with a raised brow.

"You dropped this." Edward held out her handkerchief where she could reach it.

2012-06-16 [Cerulean Sins]: Mona sighed loudly and shook her head. She picked up the bucket and exited through the servant's exit and went to the well to collect more water.

"The last one." Niclas said.

Bijou smiled a little and took her handkerchief back."Thank you kind sir."

2012-06-19 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Jerico tossed the shirt onto a low branch before going into his tent and pulling on a new shirt.

"Then you don't know a thing about her, and can't say one way or another that she is amused by simple things. Sure enough, she may well be, we all enjoy buying pretty shinny things, but everyone has deeper desires. I imagine hers are finding a husband, so that perhaps she'll have more lively conversation then her dull brother and demanding father." Tasya said, with an French accent, her head titled high, like she was a woman of good money and breeding.

Edward smiled a little, "Of course, fair maiden."

2012-06-19 [Cerulean Sins]: Mona sighed softly when she saw there was a line for the well, she stood at the back of the line and waited for her turn.

Nicolas sighed."I know my sister very well. She is like any noble woman but she does want a husband and have a family. I just need to make sure she choices the right man and not some bastard that will abuse her."

"You risked your life giving me this. So brave."Bijou giggled softly.

2012-06-19 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Jerico sat down and worked on carving a twig.

Tasya rolled her eyes a little, "Sure you know her real well by not talking to her. Least you're worried about who she marries..." She trailed off, stopping when she saw some men attempting to raid the wagon, "Kisha." She muttered before running ahead.

Edward grinned, "I must be honest with you Madam. I risked my life to show off." He grabbed the rails and and pulled himself onto the balcony, bowing to her. "There are stairs just a few feet away." He chuckled softly.

2012-06-20 [Cerulean Sins]: As the line soon died now it turned into Mona's turn at well. She filled the bucket up and walked back to the villa.

Nicolas was about to speak but when he saw the men attempting to raid the wagon, he drew his sword and ran after Tasya.

Bijou nodded."Showing off? Why would one such as you feel the need to show off?" She smiled.

2012-06-23 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: A letter arrived for Stephano from Isabella's father, inviting him to join him at the ball tonight. The reason he was inviting him was because he had some questions to ask him, but wouldn't have time the rest of the day, or while the festival was just beginning, and he needed to talk to him right away.

Jerico got a new shirt on, noticing that their horses had run out of water already. He grabbed a couple of buckets and set off.

Edward smiled a little, "Because Madam, there are many much more handsome men here then I. Before they steal your heart away, I wanted to catch your eyes." His smile turned into a grin, "And to be looked upon by such and angel, I could not let such an opportunity pass me by."

2012-06-23 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano read the letter with a small soundless sigh. He knew he should go but that meant he had to wear a monkey suit and he hated wearing a monkey suit. Once he had finished reading the letter he put the letter down on the work table and he sighed."Piss it."He muttered. He would go to the ball.

Mona got back to the villa and she started to wash the pilers again. She was such a clean freak.

Bijou blushed lightly and giggled softly."Charmer."

2012-06-23 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella finished buying things for the ball that night. She figured it was the only one she'd be attending this month. And she decided to go out with a bang.

Jerico got some water for the horses, but decided it would be a good idea to find a better place to keep them.

Edward's grin grew bigger, "Shamelessly my dear Lady." He straightened, "Ah, but were are my manners?" He bowed again, "I am Edward, Prince of England."

Tasya grabbed one of the men and pulled him away from the door, but was grabbed from behind and pulled off to the side.

2012-06-23 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: [I changed Jerico and Isabella's picture :)]

2012-06-23 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano went back to work, sharpening swords.

Mona got onto her knees and started scrubbing the bottom of the pilers as she hums softly with a small smile on her face.

Bijou blinked and her blush grew brighter."Pleasure to meet your highness." She stood up and curtsied."Lady Bijou Luigia of Languedoc, South of France." She couldn't believe a prince was talking to her.

Nicolas slashed the man's back that held Tasya.

2012-06-23 [Cerulean Sins]: [I changed most of my character's photos too but that was ages ago lol XD ]

2012-06-23 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: [I saw that lol Mum says Hi!]

Isabella and her father went home, the sun was starting to set over the village, and once it did, she would only have a couple hours before the ball started.

Jerico went and gave the horses water, then went off to look for a new place to set up camp, or at least set up their horses.

"Ah Languedoc, beautiful area as far as I remember. It's been years though, I was just a boy. I thought if I ran away, my parents would be forced to give away my siblings." He chuckled a little "It is a pleasure to meet you Lady Bijou."

The man dropped her and soon Nicolas had three men attacking him at once. Tasya got up and dashed to the wagon, throwing it open to see if her sister was alright.

2012-06-23 [Cerulean Sins]: [Tell US Mummy that I say Hi back :D]

Stephano grunted as he hammered a sword that had a dent in it."Stupid noble ass."He muttered softly.

Mona soon finished cleaning the pilers then she started cleaning the steps even though they where already clean.

Bijou straightened and smiled shyly at him. She was unsure of how to act around him.

Nicolas fought against the three men.

2012-06-23 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella went home with her father and then agreed to her mother fixing her hair. She sighed a little, wondering what she had gotten herself into and went to bathe.

Jerico sighed a little and finally went to find someone who could help. He came upon Mona again-this time avoiding ruining all of her hard work. He opened his mouth, but found that what he had to say was a smart ass remark, and if he wanted her help to figure out the lay of the land, he had to not piss her off.

"Ah, I knew I should have left out the Prince bit. Jerico says it makes woman tense, and annoys men." He grinned, "Just because I am a Prince, does not mean I need any special treatment. In fact, we shall keep it a secret."

Tasya frowned, "Kisha?" She looked around, finding her hiding, "Stay there." She whispered, grabbing her bow and arrows. She pulled and aimed carefully, shooting one man in the arm.

2012-06-23 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano soon finished his work. He closed up shop for the day and he went home to eat and get ready.

Mona stopped humming and glanced over at Jerico."Yes?" Her voice was slightly annoyed.

Bijou nodded."Okay."She giggled softly.

Nicolas stabbed the man in the stomach then he attacked the other two men.

2012-06-23 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella sat threw her mother doing her hair, "Ow!" She exclaimed now and then, "Why are you doing this?! No man wants me now, I'm too old." She muttered, "And I" Her mother covered her mouth, telling her that if she said it, it would be the death of both of them.

Jerico kind of grinned a little, then covered his mouth and cleared his throat. "I am sorry about earlier Madam. My master says somewhere in my line there was a mule..." He indicated back in the direction of his camp, "My horses are not used to the heat, but we arrived so late that we do not have easy water access. We can move, further back on the property, if you know where we can get in near the river? Or an irrigation canal?"

Edward smiled, "Thank you, you are very kind Madam." He looked out over all the camps, "Well, because I know there is a dance tonight, I hope to steal your first dance?"

Tasya shot another in the arm, her aim very good because some other archer-best in their field- wouldn't have risked possibly hitting Nicolas.

2012-06-24 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano got home and started making a simple beef stew. While the stew was cooking Stephano went for a bath.

Mona sighed and stood up."I have less then two hours to get this house clean and perfect for the ball tonight." She ran her fingers through her hair."Move your camp half a mile north east and you'll find a steam."

Bijou smiled."You may steal my first dance, kind sir."

Nicolas snapped the man's neck then he stabbed the other man's chest.

2012-06-24 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella nibbled on some bread and fruit, knowing that her dress required a corset to hold it up-it wouldn't fit to get sick in the middle of dancing because she'd actually eaten.

"Thank you.." Jerico was doing his best to keep quiet, but the words left his mouth before he could stop them. "Are you trying to scrub the clay from the terracotta?" He looked at her.

Edward nodded a little, "Wonderful, I'll see you on the dance floor, Fair maiden."

Tasya looked at the men now dead on the ground, lowering her bow as she looked for any others.

2012-06-24 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano sang softly as he bathed. He wondered what Isabella's father wanted.

Mona picked up the bucket of water and she tossed the water at him."Just leave me alone." She tossed the other bucket of water at him and stormed into the villa.

Bijou smiled.

Nicolas looked over at Tasya."Are you okay?"

2012-06-24 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella looked at her hair in the mirror, "Oh, I'm so glad we have a little more time..What have you done?!"
"Oh, I'm not done child, almost, but not quite." Her mother rolled her eyes.

Jerico wiped his face off and nodded a little, "I deserved that." He said with a sigh, quickly he went out of sight and wrung out his clothes, took off his boots carefully so he didn't track any dirt on the floor. He looked around and found her rag, cleaning up the rest of the water.

Edward bowed very low as he started for the stairs.

Tasya nodded a little, about to answer him when Kisha ran out of her hiding spot and tackled her.

2012-06-24 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano finished his bath and he got dressed into his posh clothes.

Mona was muttered to herself softly as she walked to the servant quarters. She just hoped that Jerico wouldn't tell her boss on her.

"I'll see you tonight. Bye."Bijou waved with a smile on her face.

Nicolas saw Kisha tackle Tasya into a hug, he grinned a little. It reminded him of what Bijou use to do when father would return from any trip.

2012-06-24 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella sighed a little and went back to nibbling on the fruit, when her mother was finally done, she stood and braced herself for the corset.

Jerico finished cleaning up, taking the bucket and rags inside to the stairs. He went outside and pulled on his boots, going back to his camp.

Edward waved and smiled, heading back to the camp, once there, he learned that Jerico wanted to move the camp, so he helped with that, bathing quickly in the stream.

Tasya smiled a little and reached back, pulling Kisha into her lap and holding her close. "You're safe now. Got rescued by a prince and everything."

Kisha opened her eyes and sniffled, glancing over at Nicolas, "Really?" She was fascinated with princes and knights.

2012-06-24 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano sat down at his small dinning table and ate his stew and drink his cup of water. He didn't know if they would serve food at the ball or not but he didn't want to go hungry.

Mona walked into the servant quarters and over to her bed. She sat down and chatted to the other servants who where all getting ready for the party tonight. Mona never went to the balls because she was always too tired from the extra cleaning she does.

Bijou giggled softly as she twirls into her room. She walked over to the closet and she pulled out a couple of dresses."Hmmmm.....which one?"She tapped her finger to her chin thoughtfully.

"I'm not a Prince. I'm a Lord."Nicolas said.

2012-06-24 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella finished getting ready with the servant's help, her mother had gone off to get ready herself.

Jerico sat back down, carving the stick he'd been working on earlier.

Tasya scowled at him a little, then smiled to Kisha, "He's a prince. Just to noble to say. Keep it a secret." She whispered, using her finger to 'shh' her.

Kisha giggled and nodded, "Ok.."

2012-06-24 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano leaned back on his chair as he ate slowly.

Mona watched the girls get ready and she listened to their chatter. Good luck finding husbands, girls. She thought.

Bijou smiled and picked up a ivory dress and layed it out on the bed. She spent a couple of minutes finding the perfect shoes for the dress but she found white shoes with gold trim.

Nicolas raised an eyebrow at them and shrugged a little.

2012-06-24 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella looked at herself in the mirror, hardly recognizing herself. "Wow.." She whispered softly. She looked way different to herself, pretty even. The colors made her skin tone, a light golden color, and deep hazel eyes stand out. She blinked a few times, "Oh my." She said.
<http://www.dazeoflaur.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/3574728577_f9a7489721.jpg>

Jerico watched Edward get ready, and listened to him talk about some woman he planned on dancing with as much as he could. His master didn't give himself enough credit in the looks department.

Tasya smiled a little, "You should go and thank him." She whispered.

Kisha crawled down and ran over to him, "Thank you!" She said, hugging his legs.

2012-06-24 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano looked at himself in the mirror after he ate his dinner. He sighed."I look like an ass."He muttered.

Bijou styled her hair in an up-do with curls. She applied some make-up on very lightly. She was so excited for the ball tonight, she couldn't wait.

Nicolas looked down at Kisha."Ummm...your welcome."

2012-06-24 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Her mother came in to help with the mask, and then put red lip stick on her lips, with gold leafing on the outer rim, then flaked it in, so it was just a light dusting of gold the further in on her lips. Her hair was an elaborate and fairly tall up do with crystals here and there. "Now this isn't fair Mom..." She whispered, "Once someone learns who I am, they'll know I'm not pretty." She said with a smile. Her mom rolled her eyes and left. They were soon on their way.

Edward finished getting dressed, in a dark blue and silver get-up, with a blue and silver mask to match, "Well?"

Jerico looked at him and nodded, "I like what you did with your hair." He teased with a grin.

Kisha giggled again and went back to her sister, "Come on! We have to get unstuck and you need to get ready for the ball!" She said."

Tasya nodded, "Alright, alright!" She stood and went to hook up her horse again. "Wanna help me push?" She asked Nicolas

2012-06-24 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano sighed and left his house with his plain black mask on. He walked to the villa for the ball.

Bijou finished her make-up and hair. She and the maid together managed to get Bijou's dress on."Okay I can hardly breathe with means it's tight enough." She chuckled and the maid left the room with a smile. Bijou put her shoes on and grabbed her mask. She put her mask on and looked at herself in the mirror. (her dress http://www.dressespro.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Medieval-Princess-Long-Sleeve-Style-Prom-Dress.jpg Her mask http://cdn-5.create.net/siteimages/5/0/3/50308/298871.jpg )

Nicolas nodded and walked over to the back of the wagon.

2012-06-24 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: [lol, I almost used that dress and that mask! Great minds think alike. I kept looking around after finding that mask though, think I had spotted something I might like better xD]

Isabella smiled a when they got there, the ball had many people already there. She went off to find some of her friends, they'd decided to meet somewhere specific. <https://evbdn.eventbrite.com/s3-s3/eventlogos/14108263/mask7.jpg>

Edward rolled his eyes, "Are you sure you're not coming tonight?" Before Jerico could answer though, he raised his hand, "I know, I know, you don't have a mask and they make you nervous." He chuckled and left with the others.

"Alright Kisha, get her going!" She shouted when they were both in place. Kisha made the horse pull the wagon and Tasya started to push.

2012-06-24 [Cerulean Sins]: [Really? Nay way? Great minds really do think alike lol]

Stephano arrived at the ball and went in search for Isabella's father.

Bijou giggled and clapped her hands a little and left her room and walked to the ballroom for the party. She couldn't want to see Prince Edward again.

Nicolas started pushing the wagon.

2012-06-24 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: [Yes, yes they do :)]

Her father was at his usual table, a table full of husbands and widows, masks already off, drinks in hand.

Edward looked around at the people already there. He was looking for Bijou.

The wagon started to give, and with a little effort, it was out.

2012-06-24 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano saw him easily, he walked over to him."I got your letter." He said once he was at the table.

Bijou walked into the ballroom, some men looked at her when she walked in the room. She started looking for Edward.

Nicolas dusted his hands off."On you both go. I'll deal with the bodies."

2012-06-24 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: He looked up and nodded, "Ah, good. Let's go talk, shall we?" He stood, led the was over to a more private area. "I bet you cannot pick my daughter out in this crowd." He said, though it was obvious he wanted to talk about something else. Something serious or he wouldn't have asked.

Edward smiled a little and decided to do something that might make him stand out a bit, he climbed up a tree.

Tasya nodded, "Thank you for your help." She said, quickly going over and plunking a kiss on his cheek before he could object, then she rushed to catch up, sense Kisha was having trouble getting the horse to stop

2012-06-24 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano was a bit confused."Ummmm....okay." He looked around at all the women in the ballroom. He couldn't see Isabella."I can't find Izzy. Why?"

Bijou frowned a little when she couldn't find Edward. Maybe he didn't want to come after all. She thought with a sigh.

Nicolas sighed and started taking the dead bodies to a part of the forest where he knew that the animals would eat the bodies.

2012-06-24 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: He looked at him, "She's just there." He pointed her there. "I'm a bit worried Stephano, that's why I asked you here, not to see if you can tell who someone is behind their mask.."

Edward frowned a little, cupping his mouth, "I am looking for the fair Maiden who's first dance I am to steal!" He shouted, catching people's attention.

2012-06-25 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano's jaw dropped."That isn't Izzy, is it?" He looked at the older man.

Bijou gasped and looked up."Oh my stars...."She whispered then she started giggling softly and waved a little to Edward.

2012-06-25 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: He smiled and nodded a little, "It is. She asked her mother for help this time, and she's convinced that this is the first time she is beautiful.. I think it is the first time she has really shinned though, she has always been beautiful." He watched Isabella talk to her friends, giving a little twirl.

Edward grinned a bit and started climbing down from the tree.

2012-06-25 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano whistled a little."Izzy cleans up good."

Bijou walked over to Edward, shaking her head as she giggles softly.

2012-06-25 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: "Of course she does. She looks like her mother." He turned to him, "Some of my armor is missing, and another of my swords. Perhaps she's brought it to you." He described the sword Stephano had sharpened and mended earlier that day for Isabella.

Edward smiled a little, bowing, "M'lady... Perhaps I should have planned better for a ball with masks."

2012-06-25 [Cerulean Sins]: "Yes she did, sir."Stephano said as he grabbed a drink from a passing servant.

Bijou cruised with a smile."I think that would have been wise, kind sir." She giggled softly.

2012-06-25 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: He sighed a little, "I was hoping you'd say no and just confirm that I'm a crazy old man." He also grabbed a drink, downing the whole thing in one go.

Edward chuckled softly, "Well, climbing up a tree worked well enough." He looked around, seeing the band still getting ready, "Can I get you a drink?"

2012-06-25 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano looked at the older man."Why did you really ask me here?"

Bijou smiled and nodded."Sure."

2012-06-25 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: "To see if you had seen the sword..." He sighed again, "I know that she doesn't have a lover... She's been admit that she doesn't believe in it sense she could talk practically.. But she has always talked about wanting to compete.. And our old family crest has suddenly made a new appearance in the competition.."

Edward smiled, "What would you like, or can I suggest a wine?"

2012-06-25 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano sighed."She played me. She told me it was for you as a surprise."He shook his head and downed his drink.

Bijou smiled."White wine please."

2012-06-25 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: "Well, it's certainly a surprise." He said, sighed softly and shrugged a little, "I don't blame her. Being held back from something you love, simply because you weren't born a man. It's hardly fair.." He shook his head a little and turned, "Though I don't think competing is the only thing that has her heart." He looked at him pointedly, "I taught her how to sharpen her own swords when she was younger and begged me. Promised to stop terrorizing our neighbors." He shrugged, walked away to rejoin the party so he could drink away his worries..

Edward nodded, "I'll be back." He smiled a little, going off to get them some drinks.

2012-06-25 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano frowned a little and grabbed another drink and downed it."Balls are confusing."He muttered to himself.

Bijou looked around the ballroom as she waited for Edward.

2012-06-25 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: [Sorry dear, dosed off]

Isabella smiled a little and talked to her friends, glancing at the men they pointed out.

Edward got her some wine, and some for himself, grinning a little.

2012-06-25 [Cerulean Sins]: [nay worries. I was getting something to eat lol ]

Stephano shook his head a little and he started walking past all the men and women so he could leave.

Bijou took her glass of wine when he returned."Thank you."She smiled.

2012-06-25 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: [lol, Fell asleep >.< ]

Isabella started to make her way through the crowd to find something to drink.

Edward smiled and nodded, "Of course."

2012-06-25 [Cerulean Sins]: [It's fine hun :D]

Stephano bumped into Isabella."Sorry Ma'am."He muttered.

Bijou smiled and sipped her wine."So what is England like?"

2012-06-25 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: [:D teehee, don't tell Mum]

Isabella grasped his arm lightly, almost losing balance because she wasn't used to these types of shoes. "Sorry Sir." She smiled brightly.

"England is.. Well, beautiful, but in need of some changes. I came here with some of my best knights to win some money, my father has threatened to cut me off if I continue to spend my money fixing commoner's debts." He shrugged a little, "Hopefully, when I become King, I can make some changes, make it even more beautiful."

2012-06-25 [Cerulean Sins]: [ I won't just as long as you send her my love :D]

Stephano looked closly at Isabella."Izzy."

"It sounds beautiful and magical."Bijou smiled."Your so kind to help pay off commoner;s debts."

2012-06-25 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: [She says love you too]

Isabella tilted her head, "How did you recognize me?"

Edward chuckled softly, "Well, they keep those lands beautiful, farmers feed us, tailors clothe us, blacksmiths create weapons and armor for us... Painters make our homes beautiful.. Everyone has a part, and their debts to the royal family... They should be waived for those facts alone."

2012-06-25 [Cerulean Sins]: [Yay! :D]

"Your father pointed you out to me."Stephano said."I've never seen you so girly before."He chuckled.

Bijou smiled and nodded."I agree."

2012-06-25 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella chuckled a little, "I thought your eyes were just that good." She smiled and nodded a little, "True, I don't think I've ever had this much frill on me... I've bumped into five others because my dress is so large, and I'm not used to it." She chuckled softly.

Edward smiled and nodded, "I'm glad I've found someone else who agrees. My father questions letting me become the crowned Prince to take over the thrown." He chuckled

2012-06-25 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano chuckled."You look like a cream puff in that dress."

"You'll make a wonderful Prince of England."Bijou smiled.

2012-06-25 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: "You look like a pirate." Isabella said, crossing her arms, "I've never seen a gold and red cream puff though."

Edward smiled a little, "Thank you. " The band started up and people started for the dance floor, "Shall we?"

2012-06-25 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano chuckled."It was my father's clothes."

Bijou smiled and nodded."We shall." She put her glass on a passing tray.

2012-06-25 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: "Actually, it's really the mask." Izzy teased lightly.

Edward set his glass on it also, offering his hand to her.

2012-06-25 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano chuckled and shook his head a little.

Bijou smiled as she took his hand.

2012-06-25 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella smiled a little, "What are you doing here?" Then she shook her head, "Let me guess, my father dragged you here?"

Edward led her to the dance floor.

2012-06-25 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano nodded."Yes. Your father conned me into coming."

Bijou smiled as she followed him.

2012-06-25 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: "He's a devious old man." Isabella smiled and rolled her eyes.

Edward bowed with in time with the other men to her as the dance started

2012-06-25 [Cerulean Sins]: "Yes, yes he is."Stephano said with a nod.

Bijou smiled as she curtsied to him.

2012-06-26 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella looked to the dance floor, then to him, "I take it you were on your way to leave, I wont keep you any longer."

Edward smiled a little as they started dancing, "So tell me Lady Bijou, how do you like living in France?"

2012-06-26 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano sighed and held his hand out to her."One dance and that is it."

"I love France. My country is so beautiful and the people are so kind. I love walking through the grape orchards during spring."Bijou smiled.

2012-06-26 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella frowned at him, "Well don't sound so excited."

Edward smiled, "I imagine."

2012-06-26 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano chuckled.

Bijou smiled softly."And the festivals are so much fun."

2012-06-26 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella scowled at him for a moment before taking his hand, "Well, because you offered."

Edward smiled, "What sort of festivals do you have there? Anything like this?"

2012-06-26 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano lead her to the dance floor.

Bijou shook her head."Not as wonderful as this festival. The festival we have are smaller."

2012-06-26 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella smiled a little and curtsied once they were there.

Edward nodded, "I imagine you know more people though, with it being smaller?"

2012-06-26 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano pulled her into his arm and dance with her.

Bijou nodded."I know everyone in my town back home. We're a very close community."She smiled.

2012-06-26 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella danced with him, "You should hope the other's don't recognize you.. Once the local women know you can dance, they'll never leave you alone."

Edward smiled, "Sounds nice. I know some of the people in my home town, but not all of them."

2012-06-26 [Cerulean Sins]: "I hope they won't."Stephano said.

Bijou smiled."At least you know some not all nobles know anyone from their town or city."

2012-06-26 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella smiled brightly, "Well, the fact that you're here will throw most people off. And then dancing? I imagine anyone who recognizes you is convincing themselves that they're wrong."

Edward nodded, "True, but with as many siblings as I have, I had to get away from them sometimes."

2012-06-26 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano sighed."I knew coming here was a mistake. This will ruin my creditability as a jerk."

Bijou smiled."How man siblings do you have?"

2012-06-26 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella laughed, "Oh, we all know you're not a jerk, we just let you think so."

Edward smiled, "I have ten, eight sisters and two brothers. My brothers are the youngest. My mother started very young with me, she was married to my father at sixteen. Nine months after their wedding, my older sister was born, and then they just didn't stop. My mother said she only planned on having enough to have a son, so I would have been youngest of six. Then the triplets were born and my mother was convinced then that she was done, then my twin brothers." He chuckled a little

2012-06-26 [Cerulean Sins]: Bijou gasped."Ten?" She chuckled."I don't believe it."

2012-06-26 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Edward nodded a little, "Indeed, we're very close in ages, usually only ten or so months between us."

2012-06-26 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano chuckled and shook his head.

"Wow..."Bijou was still in shock.

2012-06-26 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella smiled, "Well it's true."

Edward nodded a little, "Mmhmm. I liked being in town, away from them for a short time. All of my sisters are married, none of us men are." He chuckled softly.

2012-06-26 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano rolled his eyes and twirled her.

"I'm sure your mother will find you a wife."Bijou smiled.

2012-06-26 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella squeaked a little, not expecting to be twirled.

"Oh, she's tried.. She's not very good at picking out wives. She found all of my sister's husbands.. But she can't seem to pick out women." Edward chuckled.

2012-06-26 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano twirled her back into his arms.

"Well I'm sure she'll find you and your brothers wonderful wives."Bijou smiled.

2012-06-26 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella giggled a little, "How do you know how to dance?"

"Perhaps for my brothers, but I plan to find my own wife." Edward smiled.

2012-06-26 [Cerulean Sins]: "My mother forced me."Stephano said.

"Well I wish you the best of luck, kind sir."Bijou smiled.

2012-06-30 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella grinned, "Poor thing."

Edward smiled, "Thank you... Are you searching for a husband then? Or did you come here for the dancing?"

2012-06-30 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano nodded."That woman really knew how to guilt trip men."

Bijou smiled."A bit of both."

2012-06-30 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: "All women know how. We're born with that gift." Isabella grinned.

Edward smiled a little. "Oh? Found any husband quality men yet?"

2012-06-30 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano nodded."Sadly."He grinned a little.

Bijou blushed a little."I only arrived today and I haven't met many people, so it is hard to say."

2012-06-30 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: "Well, if men weren't so stubborn, we wouldn't have to."

Edward grinned, "Ah, well, I could introduce you to some. This is my third time coming."

2012-07-01 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano chucked.

Bijou blushed lightly."This is your third time? How can you not be wed already?"

2012-07-02 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella grinned slyly, "You know, I haven't seen you smile this much sense I've known you. Makes me think you like dancing with me." She teased.

Edward laughed softly, "My mother asks the same. I just haven't found the right woman." He smiled, teasing her with his next statement, "Why, are you glad I haven't wed yet?"

2012-07-02 [Cerulean Sins]: "Make me think I'm getting a good buzz off the champagne here." Stephano smirked.

Bijou's blush got darker, she was a little happy he wasn't married but she was never going to admit it to him."I'm sure you will find the right women. And I think you are teasing me, dear Prince."

2012-07-02 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: Isabella laughed, "Perhaps.. Though I know full well how much fine whiskey you can handle and not even slur your speech."

Edward grinned a bit, "I am teasing you dear Lady. Perhaps that is why I don't have a wife yet." He chuckled.

2012-07-02 [Cerulean Sins]: "At least I can handle my liquor."Stephano said.

Bijou gigged softly."I think you don't want a wife just yet. I think your just having fun and when your ready to fall in love and marry you'll be ready." She smiled.

2012-07-02 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: "I can not." Isabella nodded a little, "Which is why, I suppose, it's good that I have not had anything." She smirked a little, "Else we'd be in trouble."

Edward chuckled softly, "Perhaps. Women always are much better at knowing these things."

2012-07-02 [Cerulean Sins]: "That is true. A drunk Isabella is not fun."Stephano smirked.

Bijou shook her head."No. Only you know what you want, Edward. No one can tell you otherwise."

2012-07-02 [Sigyn, The Faithful Wife]: "And the day after Isabella is even worse." Isabella grinned.

Edward chuckled, "Some try to tell me." he shrugged a little, "I know what I want in a wife, just don't know when.."

2012-07-02 [Cerulean Sins]: Stephano nodded.

"You'll know when you want a wife."Bijou said.
