[Dark_Psycho]

Alexandria smiles and kisses him back. She dragged her nails down his back as he moved her back for her bed. She kept her lips on his her hands tangled in his hair. Alexandria deepened the kiss. When she felt the bed behind her, Alexandria dropped her last article of clothing and layed back on her bed taking him with her.


.......


Alexandria layed next to Dakkon tracing his chest. She kissed him gently and smiled.Alexandria looked up at him with playful eye's. "Why can you not be of Nobility or have a title then the king would have to approve of you.Alexandria said. Speaking her wishes a loud.She hoped she didn't offend him.

[Dakkon]

Dakkon had his arm around her and was caressing her back gently." Aye i wish there were a way for us to stay together." Dakkon knew there was no way for them to be together without another. If he had his knighthood when they went to war he could have won himself his title. All these thoughts ran through his head while he lay there." May haps you could talk the king into it" he chuckled lightly

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Alexandria smiles and kissed his chest."I can talk to my father as soon as I am aloud out of this prison."Alexandria said.She smiles at him.Alexandria sighed not wanting this moment to end. She heard a knock and sighed. "One moment." she said."just dressing" she grabbed her clothes and dressed quickly. She had Dakkon zip her up. She threw his clothes and cloak to him." Go change in my bathroom"she closed the doir behind him and sighed she moved her sheets to cover up any evidence. "Come in sge daid sitting on the bed. A maid just came to check on her."I am fine you may go."She said as the maid dropped a tray off for her and Dakkon. When she left Alexandria breathed

[Dakkon]

Dakkon heard the knock and jumped out of the bed collecting his clothes in a panicked frenzy. He rushed into the bathroom after zipping her up. It only took him a few moments before he stepped back out all dressed. He looked at the food." Mmm i worked up a appetite" he said winking at her. He walk over grabbing a piece of fruit and popping it in his mouth and chewing slowly.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Alexandria looked it over and sat back in her chair. She laughed and shook her head.Alexandria looked, know that shr knew what was under all that clothing, she liked what she had seen. Alexandria played with an apple and looked it over.Alexandria sighed and put her hair behind her ear. She looked over at him and smiles. She heard the king being announced and sat up.he entered. "Father. "She said bowing her head.he nods for Dakkon to step outside. "Alexandria are you well enough to meet a new suitor."he said. Alexandria nods and looked at her door."yes father, but I must ask you make Dakkon a lord. He has served our family well and he deserves our gratitude."Alexandria said."I was speaking with him while we played cards and I told he should be a lord, for all his loyal services and hard work."Alexandria said she watched her father. He nods."Fine after you meet your suitor. And please Alexandria try to behave or the only one who could stand you is Dakkon and he might be your last choice if you screw up."the king said."now come along."he said and opened the door.

[Dakkon]

Dakkon had been eating a piece of fruit when the king was announced. He swallowed the piece of fruit as the king nodded for him to step out the door" yes your majesty." He said softly as he walked from the room. He stood beside the door and could hear the conversation inside the room. Him a lord. He had never thought he would be a lord. It would be a great honor to be a lord and have lands but it would also mean he would no longer be her personal gaurds. Although he would be able to perhaps participate in the tournament. He would need a new set of skills to be a lord and be diplomatic. He could hear footsteps heading for the door as he stood tall waiting for his next order.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

"lord Dakkon follow us you are no longer in charge of my daughter.She will have a knew guard."He said. Alexandria looked over at Dakkon with large eye's. She smiled and then her lips fell to a frown. He no longer be with her.She tryed to breathe they walked to the grand Hall. Her father smiles. "Ahh Francis and your son Henry. Welcome to our court this is my daughter and Duke if Whales Lord Dakkon. "He said. Alexandria stepped forward and nods to him. The son took her hand and kissed it."I have heard many people talk of your beauty and harsh tounge."He said. "Good because I do not accept a courting from you. I am sorry you waisted your time.a proposal to you will happen when pigs fly and even then I would rather be married to the flying swine."She said and turned on her heals and walked away. She walked down the hall. Henry smirked"Hell hath no further like a woman's scorn."he said

[Dakkon]

Dakkon heard the king and gave a look of surprise as well as excitement." Aye your majesty as you wish". Dakkon walked with them trying to keep his excitement hidden. He knew now that he could perhaps compete in the tournament and also put his name in to court Alexandria. He bowed his head to the two men as he was introduced. As he heard her talking to him he knew what she wanted and he wanted the same thing. He had to keep from laughing when she was talking to him. He turned his head watching her walk away.


Once she was out of sight he turned to the king"perhaps i could speak with you a moment your majesty. First thank you for this lordship you honor me in highest way." Dakkon paused for a moment after saying that." I know i do not have my house in order as of yet but i would like to be considered as a suitable suitor for princess Alexandria. If there is a way i could prove myself worthy i would be honored to do so"

 

[Dark_Psycho]

The king nods at Henry's comments. "Give me a minute let my wife's ladies endulge you gentle men."He walked away with Dakkon and listened to him."That is if she does not scorn you away as she has the others. She has bite and her tounge can be like the devil. You also have served me well you deserve land of your own. Ahhh you have proven your self over many times."He said. "At the joust if you win her token of affection and win I will allow you to court her. you may be our best bet" He said. He turned back to King Francis, " please come eat and enjoy festivities begin at noon."He says. "Join us Lord Dakkon and someone grab my daughter."He said

[Dakkon]

Dakkon smiled and nodded hearing him." Aye if it is the joust i must win then the joust i shall win" he heard him invite him to join in the festivities." Aye my majesty i shall come and join but perhaps i shall require a change of clothes. I shall join you once i have donned the proper attire if I may your majesty"

 

[Dark_Psycho]

The king nods and waves him off."No problem, I will send you suitable clothes. "He said" actually you may tell my daughter of her good fortunes. "The king said.


He sent a servant to fetch Dakkon clothes and put them in his room.


Alexandria was sitting at her window reading. She read slowly, her temper dieing down she would scorn any suitor that was not Dakkon. She had definitely amused her self today.

[Dakkon]

Dakkon bowed his head to the king before turning and starting to make his way through the castle. He wondered if he should see the princess first but decided it would be best to get changed first. Once he got to his room he had a hand maid draw him a bath. He would need to look his best to live up to being a lord. He no longer would wear his sword at his side at all times but he was still cautious so he hid a dagger inside of his right boot.


Dakkon moved swiftly through the castle heading for the princesses room. He came upon her door and knocked. He waited a moment before he entered inside. He was now wearing a dark blue tunic with britches to match. He wore a cloak of the same color with a forest green accent. The colors of his new house. He had a gold chain with a clasp for the cloak. The clasp had his house sigil which was the head of a wolf. His short hair was spiked and styled." Your father wishes your presence at the festivities miss Alexandria." He smiled while saying that." Many thanks Alexandria for honoring me with this lordship. Might be you have the lord you were always looking for."

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Alexandria had changed into a black dress with gold leaf lets embroidered in the corset. She had a gold headdress on with black stones. She didn't look up as she heard a knock on her door.She waved her maid to get it thinking it was her father sending someone to get her. She was half right,she looked up seeing him and looked suprised. She stood and nods to him. She knelt and kissed his hand."Lord Dakkon I am pleased to see you."She said and looked up at him as he spoke."of course my father wishes me there."She said, her golden locks hung around her shoulders." I would honor thee lord every night if you so choose. You are the Lord I have been looking for."Alexandria said. Her blue eye's outlined darker. She had made her lips a dark color her skin fair and pale as always.

[Dakkon]

"You are looking very beautiful. Shall we go and join the festivities? " he asked before starting walking through the castle with her. There were times when he caught himself drifting back to walk in behind her and had to catch back up to walking beside her. The habits he had as her guard might be hard to rid himself of in the next while as he got used to being a lord" it appears i shall be competing in thet tournament. Might be i could win the hand of the most beautiful woman in the land" he smiled softly

 

[Dark_Psycho]

"Thank you" she said as he helps her stand and they walk for the festivities. She blushed at his words. She stopped him."do not take my cold demeanor to heart but if I am not as harsh with you as I am the others. It would seem off and weird, but trust me my Lord I mean none if it to you." She bowed her head to him and walked in. Her father smiles.


"Ahh Alexandria I see your suitor Dakkon cleans up nicely. "Her father said. "He is no flying swine. I will not take a suitor. "She said. Her father laughs. " good thing you have no say in the matter at the joust you will give your token to his Majesty Henry or Lord Dakkon and you will be betrothed as of after the tournament. "Her father said."now come time for the joust oh how I do love this sport, Henry and Dakkon you will get ready now and may the best man be victorious of the joust and my daughter's heart." He said and stood.


She glanced at Dakkon and smiles. "Father if you wish to keep my virtue intact you will stop sending suitors to my room.I may be of sharp tounge, but that will not stop a man when he lusts for a woman. I am sure one if your whites could tell you that."She said. Her father smacked her and grabbed her by the arm backing her into a wall."you will hold your tounge or you might just find yourself one of those whores."He said. Alexandria pulled away from her father and shook her headm she noda to him and walked away for the joust.

[Dakkon]

Dakkon understood why she must keep up the appearances of her demeanor. He bowed his head as the king told them to get ready for the joust. He turned and walked away heading to his staging area. It had been a long time since he needed to wear his suit of armor. There were two stable boys there to help him into his armor and up onto the horse. He was passed a blunted lance.


Dakkon took a deep breath relaxing himself as him and Henry rode out into the arena. They both turned to the king and saluted him by raising their lance. Hewas nervous for he had not done any jousting since the war and this was to be the most iimportant joust he had ever done. They were both being announced as dakkon took a deep breath calming himself as they readied for the joust. They both lowered their face shields on their helmets as a man walked into the middle holding a flag.


It only took a moment before the man waved the flag and ran off the field. He charged and so did henry. They came charging at one another and with a loud crash dakkon had broken his lance on henry. Henry's lance missed and that helped to bolster his confidence but he knew there were two more attempts for points. Dakkon rode back to his side getting another lance before they started again. This time Henry's lance broke on his shoulder slamming him back in the saddle and nearly thew him from the horse. He laid back in the saddle against the horse not moving for a few moments. When dakkon finally was moving it took him a while to sit upright in the saddle. As he was riding back the pain in his shoulder was intense and he grimaced with every step the horse took.


This was to be the final lance and dakkon was not about to give up now. He could barely hold the reigns as he readied himself for the final lance. He had barely enough time to steady himself before they began their last run. The pain seared in his left shoulder as he rode. He lost grip of the reigns as they clashed in the middle. Henry's lance broke on his chest throwing him back against his horse again. Dakkon lance exploded into splinters when it met with Henry's helmet throwing him from his horse. To be flung from your horse meant an automatic win for dakkon and he would not have to worry about the points. Dakkon lay against his horse catching his breath as he fought back the pain. It took him a few moments to rise inthe saddle again and he could hear the cheers from all those watching. He rode back to his side with his left arm hanging limp on his side. He waved to eeveryone there with his right hand before heading into the back to remove the armor.

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Alexandria sat next her mother. It was a warm day. The king had announced her. She tied her token around Dakkons lance.She watched each round. She gasped and stood at the last round. She watched him with worry she did not breathe till he was sitting up again. She breathed out.


The crowd cheered and the physicians patched him up for now."The king wishes to see youm "the physician lead him to the arena and steps back don't show weakness. The king stands. Alexandria stood next to him as Dakkon walked out. The crowd cheered and went silent at the kings hand moved. "My dear boy you have won the joust and the affection of the people. You are offered my daughter's hand in marriage."He says and moves Alexandria forward. She runs down the steps.She stopped inches from him and bows her head."My lord, the honor is all mine."She said

[Dakkon]

Dakkon had just gotten inside to see the physician when he was given word the king needed him to return to the arena. He paused at the door to the arena and gathered himself. He fought back the pain as he walked out into the arena making sure to keep his left arm from hanging limp at his side. He raised his right hand waving to the crowd lightly as he walked up to the steps where the king was standing.


Dakkon took a knee bowing his head to the king and then stood back up" thank you your majesty. It would be my great honor to have your daughter as my wife" he bowed his head again to the king before looking to Alexandria. "You honor me with your hand princess Alexandria." Dakkon stuck out his right hand for her left. Once she had grabbed his hand the crowd cheered again. He raised her hand up slightly and gave it a kiss. " shall you walk with me Alexandria? I shall need to remove this dirty armour and be seen by physician before the feast tonight."

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Alexandria nods. She smiles she took his hand "come here love."She walked with him to his room.She slowly helped him out of his armor and watched him."you were brave to jump in a joust like that."She said. She had her maids bring a towel and warm water. She was gentle as she cleaned his wounds and sweat.She watched him with loving eye's and gently kissed his hand." Here you just have a dislocated shoulder. Don't scream it will only hurt a second." She took his arm gently and as she spoke she rolled his shoulder and popped it back into place. She grabbed a white sling."see all better."She said. Her touch was gentler then a physicians touch. She looked at him and layed a hand on his cheek. She smiled and watched him.She went to kneel in front of him again and wipe up the rest.


Alexandria had her maids get medicine for the cuts so it wouldn't get infected. She got a clean bowl and towel. Her gentle hands moved over his skin gently. Alexandria had fallen for Dakkon. He had been hers since the minute she saw him.But she didn't know how she trust a new knight, Dakkon had always been at her side protecting her.He had saved her life countless times. She had no way of repaying him.

[Dakkon]

Dakkon had let his arm go limp once out of the arena. They had made their way to his room. He grimaced with every little movement when removing the armour and his tunic. He smiled when she said hewas brave. Hearing he had a dislocated shoulder his stuck his right wrist in his mouth and growled loudly as she spun his arm around popping it back in. He took a deep breath and echaled once she was finished. He seen the sling and stopped her hand gently" no sling. Not tonight for the feast but perhaps tomorrow".


Dakkon was not wanting any of the other nobles tonight to see his arm in a sling and think him weak. Alexandria's gentle touch was something he had longed for since the first day he had layed eyes on her. once Alexandria was finished cleaning his wounds he gave her a kiss." Thank you. Where did you learn to be a physician? " he smiled softly watching her

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Alexandria nods and just cleaned his wounds.Alexandria kissed him back and smiles."I watched the physician as a girl when my mother was really ill. She has her own healer they call a witch, but she taught me just in case anything ever happened to me and I was hurt."Alexandria said.


She helped him get dressed slowly and nods."I must dress."She said and kissed his cheek. Alexandria left his room smiling. She went to her room and went to dress. She changed and fixed her hair. Alexandria walked to the dinning hall and stopped at the doors. A man announced her and she walked through the doors into a well lit room.She was in a blue satin dress her hair straight. She sat her seat and watched the grand hall. She looked for Dakkon.

[Dakkon]

Dakkon was glad to have the help with getting dressed." Thank you for the help" he said to Alexandria before she left his room to go and get dressed. Dakkon had some time he knew before the feast and left his room to walk through the castle. He had been thinking of his new land and how it might look when he gets there to see it.


Dakkon had been in his own world till he seen prince henry walking down the hall towards him. He stopped and nodded to him" good joust today" he said stopped now looking at henry. Henry stopped and smiled grabbing dakkon by his shoulders. Henry slammed dakkon back against the wall causing dakkon to grit his teeth and groan softly from the pain that shot through his left shoulder. "She is to be mine. I am meant to rule not some worthless knight who was given a wasteland and calls himself lord. You will cancel this betrothel and leave this castle for good or else something bad will happen." Henry said through an evil looking smirk. Dakkon wanted to break free but henry was tightening on his hurt shoulder keeping him from being able to break free without causing himself more damage to the shoulder. Dakkon said nothing and henry slammed him against the wall again before letting go and walking away.


Dakkon knew it must of been henry who put the stag head in Alexandria s room. He was not sure what he would do about it but he knew he could not tell her what happened. He would need to decide what was to be his best course of action. Dakkon headed to the feast and slipped pass the main entrance not wanting to be announced as he moved amongst the tables of people drinking and laughing

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Alexandria sat at her seat. She picked at her food, and watched the girl's dancing. She spotted Dakkon and saw his face. She stood and walked to the dance floor. She went over and bowed to him."My Lord. "She said she and her maids danced with her. She laughed and had fun.Alexandria spun and felt hands catch her.She turned and spotted Henry. Alexandria nods and bows to him."enjoy your stay."She said she went to walk away. He grabbed her hand,"not going anywhere princess dance with me or your husband to be will be dead."He said Alexandria looked at Dakkon with round eye's and nods. "You will convince him to leave you be or when I am king not just his neck will be on the chopping block, but yours will."He said and bowed to her. Alexandria nods and stepped back breathing heavily. She excused herself and bit her lip as she passed Dakkon. She ran for the gardens, she couldn't breathe. Alexandria heard footsteps behind her.She turned and saw Dakkon. Alexandria ran to his arms tears in her eye's.

[Dakkon]

Dakkon had been moving amongst the crowds and when he seen her he smiled. He never took his eyes off her as she walked up." Your majesty." He bowed his head softly and watched her with a smile as he grabbed a mug of ale. He had seen henry grab her and wondered what he might be saying to her. It was when she rushed from the feast he knew exactly what was said and he grumbled under his breath.


Dakkon had followed her to the garden and when she spun tears in her eyes he grabbed her holding her close. He gently stroke her hair with his right hand softly." Do not worry about that little rat. He is harmless. I shall deal with him"

 

[Dark_Psycho]

Alexandria clung to him and buried her head into him.She wrapped around him and stayed in his arms. "I don't want you hurt.I love you and would live to serve you Lord Dakkon. "Alexandria says and hid into him.


Alexandria looked up at hi."He threatened me and you."She says. Alexandria nuzzles into him and kissed his neck."please may I spend rhe night in your chamber's." She begged him.Alexandria didn't want to be alone.
