Chapter 2: Broken Bond
The sun set upon the night. Sounds of a grand party could be heard down in the great hall of the castle where people from all over came, ranging from countrymen to noblemen and their ladies fair. People danced in celebration for the knights. The king set the five men where everyone could see. King Marcos and Queen Delphina mingled with their guests as their daughter watched her dream knight. Her mind lost in thought.
"How.." she thought to herself "I know him somehow..." Alexis closed her eyes, trying to delve into her deepest memories. "Brennan is more than just a dream...who is he.."
The metallic sound of a goblet falling near-by snapped her back to her dim reality. That's when she heard King Marcos say something that brought knots to the very pit of her core.
"Why yes, Lord Jacobs.." Marcos could be heard saying with a slight slur in his words..the wine caught up to him. "Your son, Sir Matthew, would make the perfect husband for my Alexis" The princess focused her blue eyes on her father..almost in shock. "Matthew? Father.. Matthew is a hot headed knight."
Lord Jacobs stood in a huff, completely insulted by what Alexis said about his, in his eyes, perfect son. And due to the comotion, all eyes were focused upon King Marcos and his strong willed daughter. Alexis turned her attention to Brennan, knowing he was more than likely watching her and her father as everyone else was. Her eyes met his and not until that moment did she feel slightly embarrassed.. She didn't want the boy she has such strong feelings for see her act like this.. She knew it was un becoming of a princess. Her face flushed a bit and she bowed to her father.. then left the room without another word.
King Marcos raised his hands and as if automatically.. The festivities continued... Four men being idolized as the party went on..
