Knight Commander Georgee: Excuse me My lady, by chance are you Claire?
Claire: Yes, I am.What can I do for you?

https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/42766875_165922284332032_208905023139086336_o.jpg?_nc_cat=106&oh=9ab7b89a2dd9b3a5a03ac6b8c5681a4e&oe=5C5D7E8C
Knight Commander George: I'm the new Knight commander for his Highness.He would like to invite you to the palace this evening.
Claire: That is very thoughtful Commander, but I don't have anything that would be appropriate to wear.
Knight Commander George: His Highness thought you might say that and had me deliver this.Please be there this evening.
Claire: Of Course.

https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/42837633_165922300998697_6017195314216173568_o.jpg?_nc_cat=103&oh=48ebc3e1dd774b8ca627798460777dcf&oe=5C1EE15A

Ex-Commander Bryce: Well Well...If it isn't Claire.Trying to blend in with the upper class are we?
Claire: I was invited to the palace.Now get out of my way.
Ex-Commander Bryce: Tsk, Tsk.Is that the way you speak to the captain of the guard?
Claire: You mean ex-captain.Word has it you got a big head and got canned.Now get out of my way.

https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/42809465_165922387665355_7559893390221901824_o.jpg?_nc_cat=101&oh=9816ab5f60f0f4f485664c1c20d97738&oe=5C1F93A5
Ex-Commander Bryce: King isn't around to protect you now is he?
Claire: If you come near me, it will be the last move you make.
As Bryce approached Claire, Wildfire kicked the ex-commander in the behind.Giving Claire enough time to ride off.

https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/42808549_165923987665195_3953854069864398848_o.jpg?_nc_cat=110&oh=dac75a3841fbbc33f6fb2f8d8f30e926&oe=5C52180D
Claire: Forgive me, You're highness.I had a little...delay.
King William: I was worried.Are you alright? You look as if you been running.
Claire: Yes, I'm fine.Thank you for having me.

https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/42851486_165923977665196_2917459228476047360_o.jpg?_nc_cat=106&oh=212e9b3762969a6483efdeee0be8cc76&oe=5C5FA37C
King William: My pleasure Claire.You look lovely tonight.
Claire: Thank you, sire.That means a lot.

https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/42784023_165923994331861_3179664989032022016_o.jpg?_nc_cat=101&oh=1ca84bae651d6af35791179e9885fbbb&oe=5C55AFC8
The king invited Claire to dine with him in the royal hall at his table.She felt out of place.

Good idea to post your story in it´s own thread.
Beautiful screenshots.

@ZhakiraP
Thank you! I love Praaven so much.

https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/42745728_165945277663066_5499655568979132416_o.jpg?_nc_cat=102&oh=3164fa175fffdd6c89051ce10aafcc20&oe=5C59466C
King William: Are you feeling alright? You seem a bit nervous.
Claire: Oh...Its nothing, I'm alright.Thank you.
King William: May I have this dance?
Claire: Of...Course.

https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/42876453_165945294329731_7298754667045978112_o.jpg?_nc_cat=100&oh=6ef51da35c2e95068e4ed8813b002613&oe=5C20C44C
Knight Commander George played the piano while King William and Claire danced.

https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/42776323_165945300996397_7799539117796098048_o.jpg?_nc_cat=100&oh=25e9145a4cd0678ee0ac2e49aa14dc54&oe=5C5F7944
It seems like George is routing for the King to make a move.However, Claire was getting a bit nervous, as she felt
it wasn't appropriate to be spending so much time with the King.
King William: Thank you for the dance Claire.I enjoyed it very much.
Claire: Thank you, Your Majesty.I should probably leave now.
King William: Why? The night is young, and if you're worried about riding home in the dark, I'll ride with you.
Claire: Its not that...I have to go though.
And with those words Claire was out of the castle and on the back of wildfire.

King William: Claire, wait.Don't leave, not yet.
Claire: I have to.I'm sorry, your majesty.

https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/42738291_165945384329722_2463288598955294720_o.jpg?_nc_cat=106&oh=ff3ed0d8e1d34707e410da284932f17d&oe=5C62DEE8
King William: Claire, there's no need to leave.
She completely ignored his words and kept riding on.

https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/42885052_165945394329721_6444378168840159232_o.jpg?_nc_cat=110&oh=08f8a18b344f7dad07ebc9b17a5db394&oe=5C5F3FE8
King William: Good night?

King William: Hello, Wildfire.Is Claire home?
Wildfire neighs nodding his head to the left.
King William: Thank you kindly.

https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/42851129_166604700930457_7220951540637368320_o.jpg?_nc_cat=110&oh=9ea4566d060a0eb947ad90918d9edc99&oe=5C249E61
King William: Good Morning Claire.
Claire: Oh, You're Majesty, I didn't see you come.Good Morning.
King William: It's good to see you again.
Claire: And you, King William.
Claire seemed distant and cold.Something was wrong, but he wasn't sure what.

https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/42878883_166604794263781_5767559754704486400_o.jpg?_nc_cat=104&oh=d55236f9f47a343c77540b462bddbc8b&oe=5C1E1C7C
King William: I enjoyed our dinner the other night Claire.But why did you run off?
Claire: It just isn't appropriate, Bryce had a point on that, as much as I hate to agree with anything he says.But its true.
King William: So, because I'm King, I can't enjoy the company of others?
Claire: That's not what I said.
King William: Claire..

https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/43029207_166604800930447_6788000433265704960_o.jpg?_nc_cat=110&oh=55c8c5d96d19eecf91463d2e918d0846&oe=5C2703DC

Claire was out enjoying the music in the square, as King William approached, he noticed Bryce trying to catch Claire off guard.

https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/42862360_167758010815126_8654467012493312000_o.jpg?_nc_cat=110&oh=9f597e0b2f4714fff331d9b8d3a7b391&oe=5C60E0D0
Bryce: Alright, you little brat.I got you where I want you.
Claire: You stay way from me, or I'm gonna scream.
Bryce: Go ahead and try.

https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/42970412_167758024148458_1229446869654962176_o.jpg?_nc_cat=107&oh=f58fb60a7b1325ec2d55e7277864df45&oe=5C56DC0E
King William: Bryce, get away from her.I'm warning you.
Ex-Commander Bryce: Warning me? For now, I'll back down.Its true, I don't have the men to confront you.But I will soon,
and then we'll meet on the battlefield.
King William: I'll be ready.Don't test me Bryce.
Ex-Commander: Oh no, sire.Its you who shouldn't test me.

https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/43018875_167757920815135_1589518068550205440_o.jpg?_nc_cat=108&oh=d17c5571296910c5c856988d2843628b&oe=5C53CF93
King William: Claire, I'm sorry.He really is something else.
Claire: It's fine.Thank you for helping me, You're highness.
King William: My pleasure, Claire.I will escort you home.I don't want you traveling by yourself.
Claire: There's no need.I'll be fine.
King William: I insist.

https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/43049651_167757934148467_1071783610970800128_o.jpg?_nc_cat=110&oh=5dd3dc35644e602eb318112acc202f5d&oe=5C5991E5
King William followed Claire through the city, escorting her to her home on the outside of town.He didn't want Bryce following her.

https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/43066068_168399270751000_7185517287351255040_o.jpg?_nc_cat=101&oh=9f19ff3d26c43eee3554233fd0606e55&oe=5C5E72EC
The sun seemed to rise early over the hills of Praaven, it proved to be a very warm morning.

https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/43104979_168399280750999_6579457600423723008_o.jpg?_nc_cat=105&oh=cc07d09d3ab1db4a3f8b7bcd1c225f9e&oe=5C183D93
Since Bryce had been let go, the King had to find replacement knights.He began their training immediately.
King William: "Keep at it boys.Aim for the middle."
Knight Commander George: "This is a lot of work."
Sir Thomas: "Stop you're whining.

https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/43097394_168399290750998_828139041210761216_o.jpg?_nc_cat=102&oh=970d020c247831283659d35ba49f2947&oe=5C5F5BBE

The king spent the afternoon with Claire.Riding their horses around Praaven.

https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/43108938_168399440750983_8668960525662552064_o.jpg?_nc_cat=111&oh=8da104476b056f3aa596f7987347aeb6&oe=5C5BDD2A
By the time they had reached Claire's home, the sun had already gone down.
King William: Thank you for the ride today Claire.I enjoyed it.
Claire: Thank you, sire.I enjoyed it myself.

https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/43033941_168399477417646_3668772463086403584_o.jpg?_nc_cat=109&oh=b2037c269ecba744804dda56301f105f&oe=5C50EB5C
King William: Well then, let me thank you...

The days were getting shorter and cooler, fall was coming up soon.So Claire decided she better stock up on firewood.

https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/43298266_168904687367125_2107440585567633408_o.jpg?_nc_cat=105&oh=905520160543c53f1a2563da31b5c944&oe=5C191689
She wasn't quite strong enough and was struggling to get the job done.

https://scontent-mia3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/43083477_168904674033793_7154661357533528064_o.jpg?_nc_cat=102&oh=fe35021c8c7129b7f5a72e76f9eaa0b6&oe=5C594BD9
After a few hours, she managed to get the wood she needed, but it wasn't enough.
