Vestar couldn't help but stare at her from the comment she made about her father viewing her as property. Yes, he noticed how beautiful she is and she must've been worth about 10 princesses. But the way her father treated her, willing to give her away to a tyrant, to further his ambition, it sort of lit something inside of Vestar that reminded him of his own father who bred him to fight in his stead and to become a warrior that would carry on his father's name...only to be betrayed and tossed aside when he noticed that Vestar had the potential to surpass him, even when he was the age of sixteen.

[color=f7976a] Parents...can be pathetic. But if you're definitely serious about not going back, then you don't have to worry about that, girl. That is, as long as you don't do anything stupid while on travel. Plus, you need to learn how to do things like common people.[/color]

Once it was getting dark, Vestar looked around, needing to find a place to stop for the night and to make a fire for them. Earlier, they managed to catch 2 fish at a nearby stream before getting deep into the wooded area. [color=f7976a] I'm making the fire, you set up the camp and you're going to cook.[/color] He commanded, basically saying she had no choice in the matter. It was not him trying to be a tyrant like her father, this was more of her needing to learn to survive out in the wild.

Marewen nodded and started unpacking the things in the bag that he had and in the roll she carried. She was mostly thankful that he was there. She wasn't scared if he was with her. The sudden dawning of this hit her with such surprise that she stopped and smiled just a little. Glancing up at Vestar she felt the heat crawling up her skin. 

After a moment of two the fire was started and within fifteen minutes it was putting out a lot of heat. Hoping that the scaling of the fish was included in his job she looked over at a bush full of red berries and she walked over and began picking them to go with the fish for dinner. 

In the last ten days or so or so she had managed to transform her own appearance. Her finger caught on a thorn from the bush and she looked closer at her hands. They were scratched up and she had bruises on them in some places. Her nail beds were full of dirt. She looked down at her dress and it had some minor tears from the woods and it was dirty, very dirty.  There were grass stains on it and on her cloak. Her shoes were even more filthy. She could see the knots in her hair. Her skin had a peachy color to it from the sun. She was certain that her face was dirty and the thought that she was so filthy both appalled her and made her want to laugh. Marewen was really missing her bathtub and her personal maid.The blood ran down from her hand and she stuck her finger tip into her mouth for a moment. Coming back out of the woods with the apron of her dress full of red berries and her finger in her mouth must have looked odd to Vestar because his expression changed immediately upon seeing her. 

[color=bc8dbf]"What is it?"[/color]

Vestar watched Marewen as she set camp up. He just made sure she was starting to do what he commanded. He then turned to his horse to give him an apple for the time being until he was done with cleaning the fish and getting it prepared. With the fire ready, he placed the fish by the fire to start cooking while he found a nice patch area of grass for the horse feed at. 

He watched Marewen walk over to the bushes and just stared at her for a moment to see what she was doing. How would she fair in the wilderness. She seemed fine now but could she handle herself if they were separated? Vestar highly doubted it since she lived a privileged life for so long but she was not hopeless. 

When she turned back around and came back with the berries and with her finger in her mouth, she didn't look like a princess anymore. Not that she was not beautiful but that she was looking more and more like a commoner and she’d obviously changed a bit. 

With her question, Vestar snapped out of staring at her. [color=f7976a] What's wrong with you?[/color] He asked her.

Confused, Marewen stopped and looked at him. [color=bc8dbf]"I cut my finger on a thorn. It'll stop bleeding in a moment or so. Other than that I'm filthy and I was thinking that I miss my bathtub and maid. I am thinking that those days are gone so I should get used to it. Do you think this is enough of the berries?" [/color]

She dumped the berries into a bowl and looked at the fish.[color=bc8dbf] "How do I cook these?"[/color] Curiosity made her kneel down to look at them more closely. She thought about them a moment and turned back to him and asked him. [color=bc8dbf]"Do we have something to cook them in?"[/color]

[color=f7976a] Hmph! being dirty and cutting yourself is only the beginning so yeah, you better get used to it. You can't hope that the deer and birds will wait on you hand and foot but...if you're worried about bathing, the next village or small town we come near may have an inn for you to bathe. Other than that, you'll have to use the river or lake to wash up. And yeah, that's enough berries.[/color]

[color=f7976a] I have a small pot that should have been with the bag or near it. Check the rest of the items.[/color]

While Vestar was assisting Marewen, someone in the shadows was lurking, watching the two while they set up camp and prepared for the long night ahead. This person was staring at Marewen quite a bit but didn't come out of hiding. Possibly waiting for the right time to show themself. Maybe when they fell asleep or right when they started to eat. Vestar had a feeling that they were being watched and even though his attention was on Marewen, he was going to keep his guard up just in case someone really was out there.

[color=f7976a] Did you find it yet? Once you do, bring it and start on what you were going to do.[/color] The fish continued to cook until it was starting to look well done. This time, Vestar had water for them. He was not going to drink any wine or grog that he had as he was not in the mood for it.

As the food finished, Vestar passed the fish to her and the water sack before hearing footsteps coming towards their camp. Vestar grabbed an axe and shot right up from his sitting position. [color=f7976a] Don't take another step![/color] He said in a deep and menacing tone. [color=f7976a] Who are you and what is your business here!?[/color] This individual looked to be in rags. Thin and messy looking, having his eyes dart back and forth between the two. 

[color=orange]"I'm only here for food. I've traveled for a while now. I have no coin, no food, no water. I'm not here to cause trouble."[/color] The thin man spoke. [color=orange]"I'm Estmund...my I please join to get warm?" [/color]

This man was definitely native of England. Vestar just stared at him, feeling that he couldn't trust anyone. He pointed his axe toward the man and with a stern expression, responded [color=f7976a] Look, beggar...we don't have enough food or water to go around. We are not generous here. Be gone![/color]

Marewen kept her eyes downcast and stayed quiet. She could only hope that this man had never been to the castle. If he recognized her she was done for. She looked up and when he was talking to Vestar she looked past him into the forest. Was he alone and if so why was he in such bad shape? She studied the man a little harder while he was talking to Vestar. 

The man looked rail thin and scraggly but clean and although in dire need of new clothes his nails were clean and he had a gold tooth in the upper right of his mouth. She immediately distrusted the man. Marewen looked up at Vestar and she knew she needed to get his attention. 

[color=bc8dbf]"M'love I need to speak to you a moment please?"[/color] She smiled at him and blushed a little. Taking hold of Vestar's arm she pulled him back with a little giggle meant to throw the thief off. She pulled his neck down to her so he could hear her and so she would look like she was kissing him to the other man. [color=bc8dbf]"He is not a beggar. He has gold in his mouth and clean nails. He will rob us or kill us."[/color] She reached up and spontaneously kissed his cheek. 

As she pulled away from him she chuckled and remarked out loud. [color=bc8dbf]"Not in front of our guest!"[/color] She blushed at the thought of what it looked like to the man. Where did this come from? She remembered playing with the other children when she was younger and they performed plays but not like this. She had to wonder about her natural skills. 

The thin man was about to try and reassure that he was not going to be a problem and try to calm the intense situation but before he could, he noticed the woman call for Vestar. Vestar didn't take his eyes off the man even while being pulled away. Vestar was in the middle of questioning what the hell she was doing when she interrupted him and said he was not a beggar. Explaining what she noticed, and giving him a kiss, Vestar gave her a bewildered but surprised expression. 

She was indeed acting but Vestar sort of softened his expression.[color=green] "I already know..." [/color]He said out loud as if he was answering her in a way to not do lewd things in front of guests but it was a hidden 'I already know', telling Marewen that he caught on and saw what she saw as well. He turned back towards the man and wondered to himself if he was alone. Should he go ahead and kill the man now to get this over with and possibly draw out anyone else if there is anyone else so to kill them too?

Vestar was not going to take any chances with this guy. Estmund watched Vestar walk back over while thinking to himself that his 3 comrades along with himself should be enough to take Vestar down. He felt that he should take Marewen to be made into his whore. He didn't recognize her as a princess but despite the dirt around her body, she still had some beauty showing. 

Vestar went to grab one of the fish and brought it over to Estmund. [color=f7976a] My woman felt that I came upon you too aggressively. So, she felt that I should give this to you to make up for my treatment.[/color] Vestar commented calmly while holding out the fish for the 'beggar' to take. Estmund stared at Vestar and then at Marewen to see her expression to make sure that this was not some trap. Marewen seemed pure enough to trust and took the fish while at that moment he grabbed it, Vestar grabbed the man's arm, using his strength to pull the man into him to perform a hold like that of a sleeper choke hold, standing behind the thief. 

The man struggled against the tree trunk size arms that was squeezing the air passage. [color=f7976a] You're a thief aren't you? You think I'm foolish enough to let you free only for you to come back while we sleep so to either kill or rob us? You have comrades, don't you!?[/color] The man had trouble answering as he started to jam his elbow into Vestar's ribs, hoping, praying that this brute would let him go. Seeing this man fighting and then reaching for something, Vestar had no choice. [color=f7976a] I won't give you that chance ...[/color] He said right before twisting the man's head breaking his neck, killing him while he dropped dead.

Marewen had not been able to take her eyes off of Vestar and the thief. She heard the crack of the man's neck and her spine shivered at a long ago memory. Hearing something in the bushes not twenty feet away she jumped involuntarily towards Vestar and the dead man.[color=bc8dbf] "Did you hear that?"[/color] Pointing towards the woods she saw the shadows of a person moving. 

Marewen wasn't sure what to do so she picked up a stick that looked heavy enough to hurt someone with and she stood close to the fire. She knew that Vestar had to take care of the man in the woods and whatever partners he had. She looked at the dead man and nodded to Vestar. [color=bc8dbf]"Go, I'll be here."[/color]

Vestar was wondering if the thief had comrades and his suspicious were right upon hearing the movement in the bushes. He looked towards the shadow and noticed Marewen grabbing something. A stick? It seemed pretty amusing thinking a stick would do the trick but oh well, if it made her feel safe...

[color=f7976a] If you need to dip that stick into the fire to light it, that would give you the edge to keep someone from approaching you.[/color] Smirking while pulling out his axe once again, ready for a fight. It's been a while since he last fought someone so, slaughtering someone tonight would help remove the cobwebs in his skills. 

[color=f7976a] I know you're there, if I have to drag you out like prey, I'll make sure your death is slow.[/color] Vestar smirked. Something then flew from the shadows, causing Vestar to barely dodge it. It looked like a spear that was thrown but following that, a man came from the same direction the spear was thrown from and pulled out a dagger to attack Vestar. 

This was going to be easy, Vestar thought, taking his longer axe to prepare for a swing to the shoulder of the man to end it quickly only for another man to rush out from the side with a sword at hand. Great! Now there were two men to slaughter. Stopping himself from going after the man with the dagger, Vestar weaved out the way from the swings of the sword, parrying it and noticing the man with the dagger coming after him. Vestar rushed him. Using his axe to deflect the thrust us the dagger and wrapped his arm around the neck of the man with the dagger like he did the man he killed moments ago. At the same time, the man with the sword swung it, unable to stop himself from slashing his partner's stomach. 

The dagger man cried out in pain while his comrades attention was on him. [color=orange]"I'm sorry! I didn't-"[/color] Before he could finish, Vestar swiftly took his axe while the man with the sword was close enough, and with his strength swung his axe downward to embed his blade into the man's skull. While all of this happened, a third person showed up behind Marewen attempting to take her into the darkness. The one who was slashed in the stomach was dying but Vestar needed to check to be sure Marewen was okay.

Marewen was standing with her back to the fire and she was watching Vestar fight, thankful that he was on her side. By the time she heard the last attacker he had a knife at her neck and she could feel the blood as he nicked the skin. She dropped her stick in the fire and put her hands on his arm as the oxygen was being choked from her as he pulled her away. 

Marewen needed to do something. She was clearly no match for this man. From what she could feel of him he was bigger than the others were and he was definitely stronger. She managed to reach out and kick the metal pot and send it clanging against the rocks nearby. She tried to scream but he only pulled harder against her neck and she was starting to see spots. Instinct took over and she reached down and grabbed for him but all she got was a water pouch. 

The last thing Marewen saw was Vestar's face before she blacked out.

Hearing the metal clanging, Vestar's attention went to Marewen as she was grabbed from behind. Yes, the man was larger than the others and he had Marewen in a position that Vestar couldn’t just charge in to stop this. Yes, this man was more than likely capable to make her pass out and use her as a shield to keep Vestar at bay. 

Pulling out his second axe, Vestar started walking towards them as Marewen passed out. [color=f7976a] I'm going to tell you once...let the girl go and you won't get hurt. If you continue like this, you'll give me no choice but to charge right at you...[/color] Vestar told him This was risky, to charge at this man with Marewen still in his possession but Vestar refused to let him take her out of his sights. The man of course was not budging on letting her go and encouraged Vestar to try and attack him while he still had Marewen.

Vestar was confident in his ability but he was so sure about getting back Marewen for another reason. Quietly, Vestar's horse was sneaking up behind the larger man as he got close enough for an attack. [color=f7976a] Now!![/color] Vestar shouted as the horse got on its hind legs and neighed looking to stomp it's front hooves on the man to make him let go of Marewen. 

As Marewen was let go, the larger guy tried to get away from being trampled as Vestar came over to move Marewen away and place her next to the fire. Vestar walked over while the man tried covering up [color=f7976a] Whoa whoa, Beast! That's enough...the bastard has taken enough of a trampling.[/color] Vestar mentioned walking towards the beaten man. He took his axe and held it at the man's neck. 

[color=f7976a] Tell me..are there any more of you pieces of shit around here?[/color] He asked the man. With the shaking of his head, Vestar wanted to believe that but he was still skeptical [color=f7976a] What was your aim here?[/color] "We were just going to take some of your possessions and more than likely the girl too and we were going to kill you so you wouldn't come after us!" The man coughed out. [color=f7976a] I see...and looked what happened...I bet you all thought you were clever but your friends are dead and You're going to join them.[/color] The man made an expression of fear. 

With a smirk creeping upon his face, Vestar shook his head. [color=f7976a] I'm feeling generous...maybe you can tell others who are lurking not to fuck with us...can you do that?[/color] The man simply nodded while Vestar moved then let the man stand and leave. [color=f7976a] You know what...changed my mind...[/color] Vestar threw the axe towards the man's back, sticking him down and grabbing his other axe from of the skull of the man he killed earlier and finished the job on the larger man [color=f7976a] Your fate was decided the moment you touched her...[/color]

After the bit of excitement, Vestar took Beast and tied him to a branch, giving him a treat for his help and tended to Marewen to make sure she had no other injuries. He figured, maybe they could look for a healer so to be prepared the next time if injuries became a huge issue. 

Marewen awoke coughing and it hurt to breathe. Once her vision focussed and she saw Vestar in front of her she lunged forward and wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. [color=bc8dbf] "Thank you." [/color]Her throat was hurting and it felt like she had been choked nearly to death.[color=bc8dbf] "Are they all dead?"[/color] She asked as she looked around. 

Her eyes locked with his for a moment and she felt the attraction between them. Against her own will she pushed herself away from him slowly. [color=bc8dbf]"I'm sorry to be so much trouble. I was hoping that he would go away and take his friends with him. I didn't even hear that man come up on the side of the fire."[/color] She rubbed at her throat.  

Looking at the remains of their dinner she thought how it all seemed to have happened so fast and at the same time dinner was a long time ago already. She busied herself with the cleaning up after dinner, Once that was done she pulled out her brush and began to brush her hair. It was something that had soothed her since childhood and with her hair a mess it seemed appropriate. Afterwards it was getting late and the fire was still blazing but she looked at her blanket and she moved it next to his instead of around the fire from him. 

Marewen waited until he lay down and then she snuggled up into him. She was scared now. No one had ever manhandled her the way that that man had. She trusted Vestar. She wasn't sure why exactly but she did and she felt no qualms about snuggling her rear end and the rest of her right up against him and pulling his arms around her. 

Marewen turned her head slightly unable to look him in the eye. She didn't want to admit how scared she was now.[color=bc8dbf] "Is this alright?"[/color]

Vestar was taken by surprise when she moved so suddenly right after coming to. When she hugged him, he had his arms as if he wanted to hug back but he was holding his arms a little awkward as if not knowing what to do now. [color=f7976a] Yeah...they're dead but you should hug Beast as well. He was the one that got the man to release you.[/color] Staring into her eyes, he watched her push herself away and apologized. [color=f7976a] What did you expect, a thief to play fair? I don't think there are anymore but I'll stay awake if I need to. [/color]

Something about this girl made something stir in Vestar. He seemed to feel a bit more protective over her and not out of mere duty to have her travel but pretty much in a sense that he sort of cared about her well being. 

While she cleaned up, Vestar looked in the direction where he moved the bodies to and decided not to allow Marewen to travel in that direction, mostly not to let her see the bodies. Vestar was not tired. he still had plenty of energy after the fight he had and laid down only to find Marewen joining him. He looked confused at first but he didn't mind her joining with him. She was probably scared but he was not going to bring it up. 

When she snuggled her butt against him, she snuggled right into his groin, pulling his arm around her and couldn't help but feel a little aroused by this. Even with his might, even he couldn't fight off lust and arousal. He gulped a bit and heard her question. 

Is this alright? Her ass was up against the crotch of a man who had not had sex in days. If he wanted to be a bastard and not care about her fears, he'd jump on her faster than a male  animal during mating season and pull an all-nighter. [color=f7976a] Yeah...[/color] Was all he said giving a sigh that meant he was going to have a long and difficult night.

Marewen couldn't get comfortable. She wiggled and moved trying to shift away from something that was stabbing her. Raising up she moved the blanket looking for something behind her and with the lack of good lighting she touched the ground and found nothing on it but she bumped into him. Slightly perplexed she glanced up at him and back down. Curious at what was between them she reached down and suddenly she realized what it was and her face turned redder than ever before in her lifetime.  Her eyes got big and she glanced up at his eyes. 

[color=bc8dbf]"Oh!"[/color] Not knowing what to do she quickly returned to her former position. In her mind all she could think was. Oh my god I'm going to hell. She couldn't help herself she started to laugh just a little bit. She knew he was going to think she was laughing at him so she quickly explained through her laughter.

[color=bc8dbf]"I bet that is not a mistake that a whore would ever make. I guess that proves my innocence doesn't it?" [/color]Her laughter soon turned into embarrassed giggles.[color=bc8dbf] "I'm so sorry..."[/color]

Trying to hold back, trying to think of something that would turn him off, trying to keep her from noticing but.....but.....but it was too late. The moment she moved and tried to look at the source of her discomfort, Vestar simply averted his eyes as if he didn't do anything, just waiting on her to figure it out because this bag has already been opened. 

When she finally realized, Vestar looked into her eyes and nodded his head as if he said [color=f7976a]"Oh yeah, you found my hidden weapon." [/color]When she got back in the position she was in before and started to laugh and then made her comment, Vestar was at his limit. He reached back around her to take her hand and guide it back to his nether regions so boldly. [color=f7976a]No need to be sorry....you never touched a man before, have you? If you're curious...I suggest letting your curiosity get satisfied...[/color] He brought it up to her to not be afraid to explore him. 

In fact, he was ready to explore her as well. He started off with lifting the bottom of her dress to caress her smooth legs. He leaned forward to kiss her neck a little, bringing his hand up her thighs. [color=f7976a] Don't be afraid...[/color] trying to comfort her, tenderly kissing her neck a little more, beckoning her to turn around to kiss her lips as well.

Marewen's giggles stopped and her heart began racing when he pulled her hand into the front of his pants. She gasped the instant she touched his skin. When he kissed her neck and ran his hand up her thigh she turned her body around to face him. She raised her other hand to his on her thigh. Her breathing was ragged as her body's reactions began to cloud her judgement.[color=bc8dbf] "I have no idea what I'm supposed to do..." [/color]She said breathlessly as his hand slid further towards its destination. Vestar leaned down to kiss her….

For Vestar most women were just a simple fuck and leave but this was different. There was more to this. It wasn't just him taking a woman's virginity, he felt an emotion with her other than lust while they were connecting like this. He was more caring in wanting her to be pleasured than just pleasuring himself. He looked into her eyes the whole time, never allowing them to leave her's.[color=f7976a] How was that for you?”[/color]

Marewen blushed and pulled him closer to her and murmured breathlessly. [color=bc8dbf]"It was the most beautiful and incredible thing I've ever been a part of. Is it like that every time? Is it like that for everyone?"[/color] She kissed him deeply and kept kissing him repeatedly. She wasn't sure what her emotions were doing to her but she knew the two of them were tied together somehow. Something inside her just knew it.

[color=bc8dbf]"Vestar?"[/color] It was the first time she had used his name and it sounded odd on her lips. [color=bc8dbf]"What if I just lived as a commoner? Could I stay with you?"[/color]

He response made Vestar smirk. He was happy that she enjoyed herself. Hell, he loved it too. Her question caused him to avert his eyes. [color=f7976a] It can be like that everytime and it can get better and better the more you explore. And it's not like that for everyone. Not everyone can experience the same release you had. It varies from person to person.[/color] He explained.

He welcomed her kiss and kissed her back deeply, following up with a few kisses to her cheek and neck and hearing her next question that caused him to pause for a moment. To think that a life or death and rescue situation led to this. Vestar didn't regret it but his biggest concern was his goal in life that he still had to accomplish and what will become of them if they stayed together. 

He didn't mind her using his name. He had to give this some thought about her staying with him. [color=f7976a] I think you could live well as a commoner. You'll have much more appreciation of life and the smaller things if you were to live as one. Now...I don't know if you should stay with me. Not that I don't want you near me, it's that I live a very dangerous life and you don't need to be corrupted. I'm going down a path that could lead me to become a monster. I don't want you witnessing that nor risking your life for me...[/color] 

Vestar never really given a damn about what happened to people. He was bred to be a cold hearted warrior. But...Marewen, as hard as he's fighting with his inner demons, he couldn't bring himself to let anything bad happen to her. He....found her precious. In fact, he was afraid to admit to her and himself that he actually cared about her. This was the biggest obstacle for him. 

Marewen stared at him a moment and turned away from his eyes. She didn't want him to see what she was feeling. Her emotions were running wild and she couldn't seem to reign them in. She pushed him off of her although truth be told she would rather he have stayed inside her forever. It was the first time she had felt like someone actually cared for her. She sat up and turned away from him.  

[color=bc8dbf]"You don't want me with you because you are a coward."[/color]

He wondered how she would respond and he knew it was not going to be an understanding response. When she pushed him off, he pulled out of her and moved. He was expecting her to be silent and sighed feeling that this was it for the night. 

Her next words hit him like a sneak attack when she called him a coward. [color=f7976a] I know you weren't going to like my response but hear me....I am no coward. Do you understand? I don't mind being with you but your life, I'm not putting at risk. I'm saying that for your benefit. If you stay with me and I get killed, do you know what will happen to you?[/color] He said deepening his voice.

[color=bc8dbf]"My life is my own to risk. I risked it coming out here. I risked it running from my father. I can honestly say that for the first time ever I care deeply for someone, if it's not love yet it could be soon. I know that to you virginity is nothing important but in my life it's....almost everything for a woman before she marries. As a commoner it's not as big a deal but it still means something to me. I risked my heart when I gave it to you and you are afraid to risk me thinking you are a monster? Did it ever occur to you that maybe I could be the one to keep you from becoming one?"[/color]

Hearing her explain her risks and her feelings about what's important. To think that she would speak to him that way compared to when he first met her. She damn near read him like a book. Virginity was not that important but was something that he'd try to conquer in the past. On top of that, she was right about everything she's done so far. He couldn't take that from her. It was personal demons that was what he feared and drove him this far in life for a single moment of revenge but....before he could aggressively respond back to her, he paused.

Keep him from becoming one and travel down that dark road forever? That never even occurred to him to think that way. In fact, maybe the very thing he tried to suppress and keep out of his heart was what could save him. Vestar, never knew what love was like. He was deprived of it and was trained to lock it away forever and all he filled his heart with was hate, rage, and emptiness. 

He wondered what her response would be for this even though he may already know but he wanted to hear this from her very mouth. [color=f7976a] And how would you accomplish that? I grew up on hate and rage....do you know what my life goal has been since I was 16? I am on a journey to kill the man that nearly threw me away on the side of a mountain....I'm going to kill my father. How are you going to save me from that?[/color]

Marewen thought a moment about what he said and a pain was visible in her eyes. [color=bc8dbf]"I have come to the conclusion that if someone hurts you deeply it takes a much stronger person to let it go. If your only goal in life is vengeance then he already won. Your best revenge is having a happy and successful life without him."[/color] Marewen looked towards a noise she heard near the woods and then back at him. 

[color=bc8dbf]"If you let me, I could do that with you. I could love you."[/color]

Vestar turned his head to think for a moment from her words. she...love him? He never had a mother in his life and killing, hating, and rage never made his life any better. This was not going to be easy to let this go and to live a happy successful life. His personality damn sure would have to change. 

[color=f7976a] Let me think about it...[/color] Vestar responded while looking over to the noise. [color=f7976a] You can be annoying and bring forth unnecessary trouble...but maybe that's your charm.[/color] He gave a heavy sigh [color=f7976a] If something triggers the monster in me while you're trying to keep me from turning, I will tell you that I told you so..[/color] Standing to look towards the woods where the noise came from once again.

Marewen watched as a deer walked out of the woods. Turning back to Vestar she wondered what was happening to her. So much change so fast was still so shocking to her. Someone was actually listening to her opinion and thinking about what she said. Marewen looked up and said,[color=bc8dbf] "If I can't then I'll walk back to the castle and let him marry me to Edgar."[/color] If nothing else that should tell him how serious she was.

Marewen walked back into his arms and wrapped her arms around him.[color=bc8dbf] "I want to have a life with joy and happiness in it. Don't you?"[/color] She kissed him and hoped he could tell that there was more to him than just revenge.

Vestar watched the deer walk by while he stood there still naked and relaxed. He just recently met Marewen but already have been through some trials that led to them gaining stronger feelings for each other and possibly a change in destiny. She was not just the other women and unlike the whores he had been with, they never had anything positive or loving to say. Just more lewd talk, perverted speech, and constant fucking. With her stipulation, this showed how committed she was wanting to be with him and make his life better.

Upon feeling her wrap her arms around him, Vestar looked down into Marewen's eyes. After their kiss, he looked away. [color=f7976a] Show me...show me this other life you're talking about. I'm willing to give it a try but if it does not work, I will continue as I did before and find my father to get my revenge.............but...even if I live a happy life, it may not stop me from raiding like before.[/color]

Marewen wasn't sure what he wanted her to show him. [color=bc8dbf]"I'm talking about having a family and land and friends. I can't imagine much more that would make one happier. If you don't have to worry about feeding thousands of people or fighting wars or simply trying to keep your family safe from kidnappers I think it would be easy with the right person. My maid said something I'll never forget. She said with love you can do anything."[/color]

[color=bc8dbf]"Who knows, maybe by then you'll have taught me how to fight and I can go with you on your raids."[/color] She smirked at this.

[color=f7976a] It's that simple, huh?[/color] he answered. His own family? land? He believes that she made him more willing to try when she mentioned that she'd join him on his raids if he were to train her. That brought out a small chuckle. 

[color=f7976a] How about this, you lay with me, we get some sleep and we can talk about more of this later.[/color] He offered looking at her pale beautiful soft skin. After the night they've had, Vestar had a bit of a different outlook now thanks to Marewen's input. He offered to cuddle with her and if she wanted another round of sex, it was up to her. He went to lay down once more and beckoned for her to join him again, looking up at her, enjoying the view before him.

Marewen smiled softly and walked over to him and slipped into his arms again. Covering them with the blanket she felt his officer rise to attention and she giggled softly and began kissing him in earnest then. It was quite a long while before they got any actual sleep. When they did they were intertwined with each other.
