ROLEPLAY HQ - once-a-knight

Eve Klein BOT 02-Dec-21 08:35 AM

The sound of a trumpet blared throughout a lively square full of commoners as a procession of knights and squires made their way to the castle. The clapping of horse hooves, cheers from an overly eager crowd. There was something different about today's celebration and anyone could feel the hum of energy in the air. A small child on the shoulder of her father pointed to a pale figure marching ahead of the knights. “Da, whys there a woman?” The little boy stared as the woman halted and the men behind her stopped. “Shh son, if ye know what’s good ger ya. Just watch, tis history in the makin!” The boy's mother shushed him and swatted at his leg. The father grunted but otherwise didn’t respond. It seemed that this woman in particular was the subject of a lot of discussion, it’s all anyone could talk about on today's knighting ceremony. Some were discussing her achievements, others discussing her looks and stature. By looking at her no one could tell she was thoroughly irritated. *Today is supposed to be a celebration, but what is the most discussed? Is it my undefeated record on sword fighting, my recommendation for knighthood by the king himself; No, of course it’s not. * Eve held back a scoff as the royal family made their appearance. Her father had prepped her for this day and she needed to hold in her temper the best she could. Being one of the king's advisors her father had high standing and Eve was thankful that he put in a good word with the king; but it was her merit that got her here today, nothing else. She’d had to prove herself twice as hard as any of the other knights here today to earn her spot because she was a woman but thankfully the king really valued her integrity and valor that he had witnessed when she helped defend the princess and queen from a bandit raid while returning from a visit from a neighboring kingdom.

The royal family finally made their appearance with the sound of fanfare. The whole ceremony and knighting went by in a blur and before Eve knew it, she was standing in the king’s private chamber. “Eve Klein. We have summoned you for a very important reason...” The king motioned with his hand and a servant departed quietly. “My son has recently lost his knight in an unfortunate event and We have been troubled as to who should replace him.” Eve didn’t like where this was headed, she had hoped for another position, not one of such import and with the pompous prince to boot. She bit her tongue and let the king ramble on about duty, and his beloved son until the doors swung open. Speak of the devil and he shall appear..

Dayna BOT 02-Dec-21 08:57 AM

Dayna would have walked out, the crowd going dead silent as the only thing audible would have been the loud steps caused by clanking boots. He approached the king, his father… seeing the knight, his face welling with a sense of anger. “Father… may you please tell me why this… this thing is being appointed to me? Its a woman, men go to war, don’t they? Men protect the kingdom, don’t they? But most importantly… don’t men protect the Royal family?” He asked with a slight growl in his voice, staring down at the man “Listen Knight… I will accept you, not willing but due to the fact I am a man of honor and am respectful of the hard work you’ve put in”

Eve Klein BOT 02-Dec-21 09:15 AM

"Hold your tongue!" The king glared at his son but quickly smoothed over his facial expressions. "Son, you will do well to remember that Eve Klein single handedly protected your sister and mother during that attack. The other knights were all wounded or incapacitated and for one person, regardless of sex to take on that many men and protect two others if a feat not many can say they have accomplished." He cleared his throat and looked at Eve. "Please excuse his poor behavior. It seems he was spoiled too much in his youth." The king stood and Eve bowed. "Now if you will excuse my absence I am to head to a council meeting. Eve bit her tongue and let the prince say what he wanted. Under her breath after the kind had departed she glared at the prince and whispered, "Pompous ass" She righted herself and put her hand on the hilt of her sword. "Yes, your Highness." She tried her best not to show her emotions on her face. "I am only here to serve." She bowed slightly before looking him in the eyes. "I shall be your shadow so please pretend I am not here." Eve sincerely hoped he took her advice because her anger was already on a tight rope and she had a very strong urge to knock some sense into him.

Dayna BOT 02-Dec-21 09:26 AM

Dayna himself would have instantly went silent as he heard his father speak, even if he already disliked the woman… he would never disrespect his own father, nodding quickly as he listened to the story, biting his lip in anger “Yes sir… sorry sir. Knight… I am sorry for my disrespect, thank you for saving my sister and mother” He would say softly, still obviously embarrassed as he watched his father leave before turning back towards the lady, a bright red blush of embarrassment on his face. “now- lets go, I plan on resting up a bit before going for my walk, so when we get to-my room you can read up on any of the books I have” He said before beginning to walk back inside, assuming the woman would follow swiftly hehind.

Eve Klein BOT 02-Dec-21 10:00 AM

"I am here to work, your Highness. I shall read on my own time." Eve rolled her eyes as the prince turned and followed just a few steps behind, the only sound was the soft clanking of her armor as they walked. She was pleasantly surprised at his offer to read his books, though she was sure he wouldn't have any she would be interested in. Her father always managed to get her the best books and she had quite the collection of her own. Eve followed him all the way to his room and once they were inside she took a place near the door and stood, on guard.

Dayna BOT 02-Dec-21 02:19 PM

He opened the door, walking in and looking over at her, grinning slightly. He would have then stripped, right there before going to his closet, finding his clothing of choice and putting them on. “Well alright then, that is completely fine. But do browse my collection if you would like to read. I dont mind you taking a break every so often as I am sleeping” He said quickly, before walking over to the large bed, pulling the blanket back and climbing in. “If you may, wake me up in 4 hours” He asked politely before closing his eyes, slowly drifting off into slumber

Eve Klein BOT 02-Dec-21 03:28 PM

Eve averted her eyes as he started to strip and nearly swore. She would have to get used to this, after all she this was her job now. When she heard him climbing into bed she glared at the back of him, her eyes landing on his backside. She blushed a light shade of pink before looking away. "As you command, your Highness." He really must think her weak if he thought she'd need a break, well she would prove him wrong. She stood there for the full for hours, ever so often she would check her watch for the time. She was rather bored if she was honest with herself, but what else was she to do? Eve refused to do the one thing he suggested. Finally it was the time to wake him up and she walked over and cleared her throat. "Prince Dayna, it is the given time. Please wake up." If he didn't wake up on the first time she would try again but louder. And if that didn't work she would slam her foot down as loud as she could to scare him awake.

Dayna BOT 02-Dec-21 04:05 PM

Dayna wouldnt have been trying to be rude or to make her think she wasn’t strong enough, all he was doing is giving her the option... But, as he was called on, the mans eyes slowly fluttered awake, he was never one to sleep heavily. “N-Ngh…. i’m up Knight Eve” He said, atleast he used her proper terms. The man slowly crawled out of bed, yawning as he went to his closet and grabbed his clothing for said meeting, he would have then stripped once again before putting the clothes on “What time is it…?”

Eve Klein BOT 02-Dec-21 04:16 PM

Eve cleared her throat and looked away. "The time is six o'clock in the evening, your Higness." Did the man not care she was a woman, or did he? Was he doing it on purpose? Eve mentally shook her head and waited until he was mostly decent to face him again. Her cheeks were slightly flushed. "Shall we get going now? Or is there something else you need to do before...?"

Dayna BOT 02-Dec-21 04:28 PM

“Well if I am being honest, I think we should go now. All I have is a simple meeting, dinner will be brought into my room as well as my concubine for the night” Prince Dayna explained to her with a little smug smile. He knew exactly what he was doing and it was his idea, why have a Knight if they dont know… every little detail about you. “Now! Off we go madam!” He said with a little shout, walking out of the door as she followed, beginning the long walk towards the meeting hall. “So, Eve.. why did you want to become a Knight? Sincere question, I wont be a jerk.”

Eve Klein BOT 02-Dec-21 05:26 PM

Her eyes went wide at hearing what he was planning on doing later. Did he expect her to watch that? When was her reprieve supposed to come so she could sleep until morning? The gods help her if she had to watch him make love to one of his many playthings. She balled her hands into fists and bit her tongue to keep herself from making a remark. Eve followed behind the prince at the same pace as earlier, just a few steps behind. Hearing his question she thought for a several moments as they walked. "Because of my father, the stories he would tell me as a child. Nothing is more honorable than becoming a night and defending the kingdom." She watched her feet as they continued walking. But that wasn't exactly what she was doing now, was it? She was protecting the prince, not the kingdom. Though she supposed in a round about way they were one in the same, after all he was the future king. "I was never one to be comfortable doing the things expected of a lady in court. So with my father's permission I chose this path."

Dayna BOT 02-Dec-21 05:53 PM

Dayna didnt know what he expected in all honestly.. he would allow her to go sleep if she so wished. The man would have continued his slow trot along the floor, looking around at the marbled walls. “Eve. So, thats your story huh… it is definitely an honorable one. But, its even more honorable to protect the Prince… the kingdoms future, your future. So I thank you, and I will go easier on you due to this fact.” The man would have stopped at the door, turning towards her and nodding before entering the room. It would have been around an hour or two before the man came back, tears welling in his eyes as he stepped out of the room swiftly. “C-Come on Eve. Lets get back to the room.” He would say as he walked, not his usual slow trot but a fast paced, almost jog.

Eve Klein BOT 02-Dec-21 06:18 PM

Eve was confused and alarmed when the doors opened and the prince had eyes filling with water. He was upset and Eve wondered what had happen inside the room. The doors wood was thick, so she hadn't heard a thing. She followed him quickly and once they were inside his room Eve shut the door and turned at him looking concerned. She wasn't sure what to do at this point, or what she was allowed to say to him, due to her being in lower ranking than him. "Is something the matter, your highness?"

Dayna BOT 02-Dec-21 06:28 PM

As the man got into his room, he would have broken down, tears streaming down his face as he sat down on the floor, not even making it to the bed. He didnt know what to think about what he was just told, wanting to throw up and just die… “M-My Father told me if I dont grow up and become a man… t-then I’m disowned” He said, knowing that it was his own fault but not knowing how to fix this.

Eve Klein BOT 02-Dec-21 07:20 PM

Eve stared at the prince in shock. If she was being brutally honest she felt this lecture was a few years late. She knew the king was ripe in age and it wouldn't be too long before he wanted to step down and hand the crown off to his son. She walked over the the prince and placed her hand on his shoulder. "I'm sure he has your best interest in heart." She patted his shoulder a few times. "It'll be okay." She quickly removed her hand thinking she may have over step her bounds.

Dayna BOT 03-Dec-21 03:29 AM

Eve stared at the prince in shock. If she was being brutally honest she felt this lecture was a few years late. She knew the king was ripe in age and it wouldn't be too long before he wanted to step down and hand the crown off to his son. She walked over the the prince and placed her hand on his shoulder. "I'm sure he has your best interest in heart." She patted his shoulder a few times. "It'll be okay." She quickly removed her hand thinking she may have over step her bounds.

@Eve Klein (@EnchantedNymph) - jump The mans eyes would have slowly, but eventually calmed down. All the cries slowly coming down to sniffles. “Y-Yeah.. I know, look- I’m s… sorry” He said, it was obvious that it was hard for the man to say this but fuck! He was trying. He would have looked up to her, the patting definitely helped. “Yeah, I just- I just need to better myself. For the kingdom, right?” He said, it was probably a rhetorical question but he didn’t make it out to seem that way. As soon as this moment had finished, the maiden would have opened the door, she was dressed in a small White lace dress. “Prince, your meals are here” She said with a toothy grin.

Eve Klein BOT 03-Dec-21 03:55 AM

Eve took a few steps back moments before the doors to his room swung open. She was now a comfortable distance away. The prince truly did seem sincere and it pulled on Eve's mind. She had just been about to answer his questions when she had heard the rattle of the door. Whatever she had been feeling toward the prince just moments before vanished as the maiden had spoken and grinned at the prince. Yeah, this was what Eve was used to. The playboy prince who did things on a whim and it would be best for her if she just remembered that. She put both hands behind her back and held them. She eyed the girl and then the prince before staring off at a speck of dust somewhere on a wall. Distance was key, be professional.

Dayna BOT 03-Dec-21 06:01 AM

Dayna’s eyes would have gazed up st the woman in her dress… she was the definition of pure beauty, perfect it almost every way. But… Dayna didnt know, he just wasnt feeling it. “W-While I thank you for coming Lex… I’m not in the mood today, thank you again. Just leave my dinner. I will call you down if anything changes, oh. And get another maiden to bring Knight Eve her dinner please.” The man said with the closest hint of frustration in his voice. The maiden looked at him in shock, surprised that the man would have ever refused a night with her, they were usually inseparable for hours on end. “Well then- yes Prince Dayna. I will have the food ready soon” She said before quickly turning out of the room and leaving.

Eve Klein BOT 03-Dec-21 06:46 AM

Seeing the look on her face was priceless to Eve, to think that she was snubbed for probably the first time in her life. Eve never understood what appealed people, to do those sorts of things. Nothing like that had piqued her interest before. While others were at parties doing frivolous activities she preferred to be practicing her swordsmanship with her uncle. She watched as the door shut and turned to the prince. "If you did that on my part, that was unnecessary. I can eat when I return home for the evening..." She placed her hand on the hilt of her sword. Truthfully, she would much prefer her mother's homecooked meal than ones provided by any of his women. Who knows what they might do to it. Eve never got a long with other women, always being misunderstood or made fun of so by rule, she generally kept away from those of the same sex.

Dayna BOT 03-Dec-21 07:01 AM

“I did do it for you, and you can eat at home. Just act like you are enjoying the meal please… its lonely eating by myself sometimes and god knows I do not want to join my father in the dining hall” He would say with a sort of shiver, shaking his head quickly before turning back towards her. “God, Eve I want your opinion on this… what do you think about me? Be completely truthful, I will most likely be hurt but I will not do anything or report you.” The man said, by the tone of his voice it was very clear that he was being honest. He stood up and faced her, staring the woman down with his soft gaze as he waited for her comments.

Eve Klein BOT 03-Dec-21 07:53 AM

Eve looked at the prince dubiously for a moment before she saw his face and saw how sincere he was. Fine, he asked for it. She took a deep breath before speaking, "You're spoiled rotten, ungrateful to the citizens of your kingdom and up to this point have done nothing but what pleased or entertained you. You never took your studies seriously and your father, according to mine believes you do not have what it takes, currently, to run this kingdom in it's best interest." She looked from him to the window. "You also are subpar with your swordsmanship from what I have seen when you practiced with the knights." Eve really didn't hold back her punches. "In short speak I've always viewed you as a pompous ass-hat."

Dayna BOT 03-Dec-21 07:58 AM

Dayna’s face would have not changed, but a slight smile appeared before he hugged her tightly, staying there for a few seconds before pulling away. His eyes were bright with joy as he stared her down. “Thank you Eve. Honestly, It is my fault, yes. I’ve just never had anyone willing to actually tell me what I have been doing wrong and how I could fix it. I want to be better, I really do and you are helping me… I just/ it takes allot. But how about… how about starting tomorrow, you could come here and we could train? You are a pretty good swordsman. I’ll also get back to studying with my tutors.” The man said, just like before it was clear he was being sincere. After all of this had happened, the second maiden would have walked in. This time in a traditional maids outfit. The woman would have set down the same food that Dayna had on his plates for her before leaving.

Eve Klein BOT 03-Dec-21 01:26 PM

When everything was set on the table for the prince to eat, and the maid left the room Eve sat down across from Dayna. "This looks..." She eyed the plate in front of her, it was a stew with a piece of lamb on top of potatoes. "Decadent." She didn't want to be rude, but the meal in front of her was very much not to her taste and preferences. She pretended the best she could to eat, taking a few sips of the broth periodically while the prince ate. When he was done she pushed the bowl aside. "Very...delicious. Thank you." She faked a smile and then stood up, tucking the chair back in to the table. She looked at Dayna. "If...there is nothing else this evening?" Eve was asking if she could be excused to return home.

Dayna BOT 03-Dec-21 02:13 PM

Dayna would have eaten his food slowly, not to be rude or to make her stay but to… enjoy the company? Wow… thats weird. The man was just rude to her earlier and now he is enjoying her company and being nice. “Oh! Yeah yeah. You are free to go but again, thank you for being honest” The man said with a bright smile, holding his hand out as he stared up at her. “Well, heres to a long partnership?” He said, meant in Prince and Knight, not relationship wise.

Eve Klein BOT 03-Dec-21 02:23 PM

Eve stared at the princes hand and reluctantly took it in hers and shook it. "Hope so." She gave a curt reply and released his hand. "I shall be here earlier than normal in the morning, as I am escorting my mother and father to meet with the king and queen." She headed for the door and paused. "If you have need of me, then I suppose you'll be at the breakfast gathering?" Their parents were close so meals like this happened often, especially closer to their father's retirements. "It may help you get in the good graces of your father..." She offered the bit of advice before bowing and leaving. She was tired, and today had been a long day. When Eve got home she planned to just go straight to sleep.

Dayna BOT 03-Dec-21 03:00 PM

“Yes… I will go, I need to get on my fathers good side and it seems like doing that and showing I can mature if probably going to be the only ways that I can” The man said with a sigh, it was obvious that he was in for it. “Well yes yes, goodnight Eve” He said, watching her off before laying in his bed and soon falling asleep. As the dawn rose, Dayna was awoken like usual, the man showered, got dress and then walked down to the dining hall, opening the doors as he walked through, scouting dor Eve.

Eve Klein BOT 03-Dec-21 03:41 PM

Eve was currently sitting in a chair with a cup of tea beside her mother and the queen. They were around a fireplace just chatting freely while they waited for breakfast to be served. Normally Eve would have chosen pants with a nice shirt and vest but her mother had forbade her. Instead, she wore a very flattering cream and gold dress with a floral pattern. She felt ridiculous under the petticoats and frills. She couldn't wait until she could get into her knight uniform. And to top the cake, the prince would be seeing her like this... She smiled sweetly as the queen commented her appearance and she bit her tongue to refrain from making unnecessary comments. She didn't hear the prince approaching.

Dayna BOT 03-Dec-21 04:15 PM

Dayna’s eyes would have paused on Eve’s outfit, a smile going across his face as well as a light blush… god what is wrong wuth him! Why am I getting this butterfly feeling in my stomach when I see her like this He thought out to himself as he walked over towards Eve. “Hello Mother, Madam, Eve” He would have stated, bowing to the three of them each at a time. “I hope that everything is going well this fine morning?”

Eve Klein BOT 03-Dec-21 04:37 PM

Eve nearly jumped at hearing Dayna speak. So much for the hope he wouldn't show. She smiled as best she could and gave a slight nod. Her mother gushed at the prince. "Oh my, how you've grown. You'll make a fine king, and husband some day! I'm sure of it." Eve looked away and rolled her eyes. Laying it on thick there mom... The food was bell was rung and Eve was glad for the reprieve of where that conversation was heading.

Dayna BOT 03-Dec-21 05:39 PM

“Why thank you ma’am. I really hope I do. I just need to fix some things about myself and maybe I could see a wife and Queen in my future.” The man said with a smile before as he turned, sitting down next to the women as he had to intention at all of staying near his father. “How did you sleep Eve?” He asked with a smile.

Eve Klein BOT 03-Dec-21 06:06 PM

"Fine, thank you...and yourself? Had a pleasant night?" She shifted in the dress trying to get comfortable. The first dish was being placed at the table and Eve stood. she chose the chair beside her father and kissed his cheek. "Ah, my sweet child. I was just telling his Majesty of your scores in the past sword fighting tournament." He beamed a bright smile at his beloved daughter. "Prince Dayna, will you be competing in the upcoming championship?" Eve glanced at her father and then worriedly looked at the prince. Clearly his father wanted to poke the bear today.

Dayna BOT 03-Dec-21 06:13 PM

“Yes I actually did have a good night, I slept fairly well. Thank you for asking” He said, staring at her dress and the obvious discomfort that she was showing towards it… he wished that she would have been able to wear something else but sadly, there were standards that women were held too that not even guardsmen could take away from. He stared at her father as he heard the remark, grinning slightly before nodding. “Yes sir I actually am. I’m fairly proud of where I’ve come and am still working hard, I’m sure that I will be able take top 3, along with lovely Eve here” He said towards his comment, Dayna wouldnt tell trivial things like remarks get in his way anymore.

Eve Klein BOT 03-Dec-21 06:19 PM

Eve was surprised, normally the prince sat in the spectators stand with his royal lady friends of the court. She raised an eyebrow at his remark. "You may make third, but I'll be taking first." She offered him a sickeningly sweet smile and held up her juice to toast him. Her mother scoffed, "Mayhap the prince will win and the celebration shall be grand." Eve winced at her mother's comment but kept her face neutral. "We will see." Her father cleared his throat. "Now now, let's eat this lovely breakfast before it gets cold, shall we?" He was ever the expert at keeping his wife and daughter from fighting.

Dayna BOT 03-Dec-21 06:24 PM

“Maybe I will take first like your mother said. What will you do then Eve? Hit me~” He said with a teasing chuckle, knowing that the woman would not do anything but it was still a funny thought… and with that, Dayna knew that he had to try as hard as possible now. The man wanted to prove himself.. to his Father, to Eve’s Father… to Eve… to the World! Dayna knew he had it in him. “Yes sir! Let us eat today” He said, sipping on his wine as he slowly began to dig into the meat, chewing softly as he nodded. “Will you be joining in on the academic tests as well Eve?” He ssked, wanting the conversations.

Eve Klein BOT 03-Dec-21 06:27 PM

Eve stopped her fork mid bite hearing his taunt. If he wasn't careful she'd hit him now, nevermind the king and queen sitting right here. She took a deep breath and set her fork down. "Of course I would, I had the best teacher." She gave her father an adoring look before turning to the prince. "I wouldn't let father down on my life."

Dayna BOT 03-Dec-21 06:56 PM

“Well ofcourse not. You’ve to too be Miss perfect dont you” He said, he didnt know why it slipped out but it did. The man bit the insides of his lip as he stared at her. “If you’ll excuse me, I need to go relieve myself” He would say before quickly leaving the table, storming outside of the swiftly.

Eve Klein BOT 04-Dec-21 01:03 PM

Eve would have retorted his statement but dropped it as she saw the look on the kings face. And by the time she had turned to look at Dayna he had already excused himself and ran out the door. She shook her head mentally to herself thinking, So much for getting on his father's good side... The rest of the meal went by in an awkward silence and then Eve was excused to go to work. It took her a few minutes to change and once she was in her normal attire she sighed with relief. She would then go out in search of the prince so that she could do what her duty demanded, protect the prince.

Dayna BOT 04-Dec-21 01:30 PM

He would have been seated down in some random corridor away from most people, eventually as Eve passed it, she would have seen the man. He was seated down, looking at his notebook… was it a diary? He looked over at her, groaning slightly. “Look. I dont need your help. Knowing you, you’ll just talk about all your accomplishments and how you’re daddies little princess” He said in anger… it was obvious he wasnt really mad at her… just had at himself for how he couldnt do better. “I dont need your help today. I am going to go train with the knights”

Eve Klein BOT 04-Dec-21 03:36 PM

Eve paused in front of Dayna and let him say what he wanted. She was curious about what he was writing in the book in his lap but held her tongue. "Well, whether you need my help or not..." She sat beside him. "It is my duty to protect you so I go where you go, even if you don't want me to. Per your father's orders. She leaned against the wall and stared off into space. "No one is perfect, your highness." she stood and put her hand on the hilt of her sword. "Did you forget that I am a knight as well?" She raised a perfectly blonde eyebrow before turning in the direction of the knight's practice hall. "Well then, let's get going." (edited)

Dayna BOT 04-Dec-21 03:43 PM

“I-I guess you are right… just, I get angry quickly and hearing your father compare us.., and how you acted- god I always act like a damn child!” He shouted out as he hit his hand against the wall, feeling something crack but choosing to ignore it. The man would stand up as he heard Eve do so. “Alright alright, you can help also I guess” The man said as he began to walk towards the practice hall, his pace pretty swift like always.

Eve Klein BOT 04-Dec-21 06:25 PM

Eve rolled her eyes, Yeah I guess she mocked him in her head but followed him. He was in for a rude awakening when he found out just how good she was. She couldn't help if it sounded like she was bragging all the time, she worked twice as hard and was even more motivated then all the me. Being a woman and wanting to do this sort of job wasn't easy, but it was her passion and this was just the way she knew how to show it. Once in the hall there would be several circles of the knights, each one having two knights inside sparring. Some were using swords, other's their fists. When they were walking through all of them eyed Eve as if she was the devil come to fruition. She ignored the looks and removed her sword, she turned and faced the prince, she pointed it at Dayna. "Your highness, you ready?" Eve would smirk as she put her left arm behind her back, as if telling him she would only need the one hand to beat him. All the knights would gather around the two. All of them wanting to see the Prince and how he would handle Eve.

Dayna BOT 04-Dec-21 06:52 PM

Dayna would have grabbed himself a sword, he was honestly worried, the man wasnt the best as sword fighting, yes he could probably beat a few of the men in here but Eve? There was no way in hell he would be able to. So the man would hold the two pound blade in his hands, looking at the woman as he gulped in fear. “Yes… I’m ready Knight Eve” He would say to her, getting in his stance quickly as he waited for her to make the first move.

Eve Klein BOT 05-Dec-21 07:18 AM

Eve wasted no time and attacked him head on, her arms moving swiftly as she struck her sword against his. Eve's eyes would sparkle with amusement and excitement as they tested their abilities. At one point she got so into it that she smiled, and she would admit the prince wasn't half as bad as she expected him to be. When he would come to make his own move she would quickly slide out of range and did a bit of a spin before stopping her blade at his waist. "When does your highness have the time to practice?" She asked, her breathing slightly uneven. "You've surprised me."

Dayna BOT 05-Dec-21 07:23 AM

Dayna chuckled as all of this going on, as he saw Eve smile. He thought about a happier time whenever they were younger, remembering whenever she used to smile all the time. But, almost as soon as that happened and he was caught off guard, he lost. “Crap! Yeah- I used to have time to practice. Not anymore, but.. you wouldnt mind helping me out, would you? I’ll return the favor in any way that you want” The man said to her with a slight smile as he walked out of the circle of people, going towards the sword rack and placing his sword back on it.

Eve Klein BOT 05-Dec-21 05:49 PM

Eve righted herself and put her sword back in it's sheath. She gave their spectators glares and they all mumbled and dispersed as Dayna went to put up his own sword. "I don't see why I couldn't help, I'll be with you the majority of the time anyways seeing as I am your knight for protection." She sat on a bench near one of the sword racks and watched the other men return to sparring. "Are you going to try that?" She asked while using her head to direct his attention to the wrestling.

Dayna BOT 05-Dec-21 06:01 PM

Dayna would have felt saddened as she won but was also more happy that the woman was fine with helping him train. His face lit up as he turned, smiling at her. “Thank you so much Eve! I promise to make you proud and uhm… I dont really know if I’m being honest. I’m not the strongest and uhhh *Unhearable gibberish-8

Eve Klein BOT 05-Dec-21 06:12 PM

"Well, of course you're not." Her steel gray eyes glanced at him. "That's the point of trying. Plus it'd help build report with the men." She stood and turned to Dayna. "Look, they would be too chicken shit not to let you win, and while that sucks and may hurt your pride you are the future king. So go out there and try, because no matter what, practice is practice* She slapped him on the shoulder lightly but firmly, to encourage him to go and wrestle.

Dayna BOT 05-Dec-21 06:16 PM

Dayna would have sighed, shaking his head quickly as he looked at Eve. “Look… I’ll wrestle but only with you. Why train if you arent training with the best. Understand? And no, not in here. I’d rather do it in private” He would have said with a sigh, his eyes pleading with Eve to say yes.

Eve Klein BOT 05-Dec-21 06:23 PM

Eve shook her head. "I don't wrestle. And I'd be at a disadvantage. Don't be a baby. At least one round. Some of the men aren't even half your size..." She pointed at the group without looking at them. "I'll make a deal with you. You wrestle at least two dudes, if you win both the matches I'll give you a prize." He was a spoiled kid, she knew he wouldn't turn something like this down.

Dayna BOT 05-Dec-21 06:33 PM

“Gah fine… I’ll try I guess. You better not be lying about the prize” He said softly, it wasnt even that he was spoiled, he just loved prizes. The man went into the changing room, getting his clothes off and coming out in the small Wrestling speedo thingies. He walked over to one of the rings, waiting for his opponent.

Eve Klein BOT 05-Dec-21 07:07 PM

Eve rolled her eyes and sat back on the bench to watch what was going to unfold. She was pretty sure he qpuldnt win both, but there was no telling what would happen. When Prince Dayna stepped into the ring he would shortly after be greeted by a knight a little smaller than him in body stature and he looked nervous. "Y-your higness." The guy bowed.

Dayna BOT 05-Dec-21 07:12 PM

He would have stared at the man, growling slightly. “Shut up with the highness bullshit. I am your opponent here and you will treat me as such” Dayna would have said to them as he crouched low. If his attitude was bad.. he made up for it with his hips and ass as Eve would probably be able yo tell. “So whenever you’re ready, someone ring that damn bell” He would have said with a chuckle.

Eve Klein BOT 06-Dec-21 09:26 AM

Eve shook her head at his bravado. When the bell rang she rested her elbows on her knees so that she could observe so that she may give pointers later. He was a bit rude, and Eve didn't know if he realized it or was doing it intentionally. The man began to walk a circle in the ring, afraid to make the first move. This was the prince after all, and he seemed to be in a foul mood. One wrong move and his head may end up on the chopping block. He swallowed nervously, arms out in position in case the prince came for him.

Dayna BOT 06-Dec-21 11:30 AM

Dayna would have been being rude on purpose, wanting others to take him seriously, not as some pompous prince. But just then he would strike, lunging at the man. He was trying to go for a quick submission with a leg bar hold. “Gah! Put up am actual fight damn it. I am another night right now, not your prince!” Dayna shouted…. He honestly wanted to make Eve proud.

Eve Klein BOT 06-Dec-21 02:55 PM

The man gulped and began to take things seriously, better to anger and try than anger and don't. The other men around whispered to each other as the match continued. In the end the match would be won out by Dayna. Evi had been taken aback but the prince's reaction and if she was honest with herself she had goosebumps up and down her arms from it. Something about the commanding manly tone he took when he wasn't being taken seriously. She cleared her throat and repositioned herself as the next man would enter the ring. This one was a bit more muscular that Dayna, but about the same height.

Dayna BOT 06-Dec-21 03:03 PM

Dayna would have been slightly winded from that fight, but very proud. He honestly didnt even think that he had it in him. “Yeah! Lets go! Ooh. You look strong sir, I wish you a good match” Dayna said with a smile, even if they were opponents, sportsmenship is always good. Dayna turned towards Eve, giving her a slight wink before turning towards the man, Dayna got low in an offensive position as he waited for the other man to take a move.

Eve Klein BOT 06-Dec-21 05:19 PM

Eve was left shaken after Dayna had someone won. It had to have been a fluke. The guy was a great fighter and had only lost a handful of times and today, of all days had to be one when he lost? She gulped realizing she would now have to keep her end of the bargain.

Dayna BOT 06-Dec-21 05:27 PM

Dayna would have taken deep, quick breaths as he stood up, shaking the mans hand. “That was a good match” He said softly, shaking any of the other knights that wanted one before walking back over to Eve. “So! What is my reward?”

Eve Klein BOT 06-Dec-21 05:29 PM

Eve blushed and looked away, "I had planned on letting the winner choose the spoils." She instantly regretted the words as they left her mouth. Why did she have to be honest all the time? She could have fibbed and said money, or even yet a kiss on the cheek. But who knew what the man would pick.

Dayna BOT 06-Dec-21 05:44 PM

“Ah, well thats fine. I know you probably thing that I an going to choose sex. But I want it to be real, if I would ever have sex with you.. so how about a kiss and some cuddling? I could use it if I an being honest” The man said with a smile. “Would that work? I gotta take a shower real quick” Dayna would say as je got his clothing ready.

Eve Klein BOT 06-Dec-21 05:54 PM

Eve's eyes went wide. The man kept shocking her today and her emotions were all over the place. "F-fine." The ever collected Eve stuttered fir the first time in her life. It would be fine, she could totally do a kiss, even if she had never kissed befire.

Dayna BOT 06-Dec-21 05:56 PM

Dayna had not planned to make the woman shocked or flustered, he just wanted to make up for the pain he has caused her. He let these thoughts leave his mind as he walked into the shower room. Around 10 minutes later, the prince would come out in a long pair of pants and shirt. The man walked over to Eve. “Welll, Eve are you ready to go back to my room? I need to study a bit”

Eve Klein BOT 06-Dec-21 06:05 PM

Eve nodded and followed the prince, once in his room she took her normal spot and stood. Totally trying to avoid what was inevitable.

Dayna BOT 06-Dec-21 06:16 PM

Dayna would have went to his spot which was right now his desk, the man just studying certain topics for a while before looking over st Eve. “Look, lets get this over with as I dont want you to be uncomfortable for too long”
