roderich smiles as do we sir Estolie!! hugging him quickly and shaking his hand songs will be sung for generations about you! maria smiling lightly
staying in the back staying quiet
he gives a humble bow it is my go or to know you are all safe a holler herd behind him two men in bandages struggling to walk as he runs to them removing his cape as he lifts one onto his back supporting the other as he gets them to a cart get them to the infirmary immediately!! Estolie looks over his other men
now much taller almost 18 Fritz giving a smile he sure has changed since he was that little trainee
maria looks away not really wanting to see blood and gore roderich getting servants to help bring in the injured
they finally finish getting everyone taken care of as estolie suddenly flinches his breath heavy as he ignores it continueing to work
gilbert looks and goes to him what's wrong boy? You need to rest
he shakes his head standing straight no the men can still see me i need to stay stong in front of them blood starting to drip down his back from under the armor
gil stops him you are not one of my men but as a fellow arms men you need to rest ..he glances at Maria and then wistpers to him do it for her
he looks to her then away blushing slightly.... sire... i have arrows embedded in my back.... i dont want her to see me like this. my lady is not a fan of blood and violence.... please dont let her know
I won't.. just go to the infirmary, if she asks I'll just say that your getting a after war medical check
he nods as he straightens walking to the infirmary being taken behind a curtain as they start to remove the arrows
hours pass as the men are sent home to their families Estolie in the health ward covered in bandages as a knock on the door makes him turn Enter!! the kings and queens enter as estolie straightens bowing his head my majesties what brings you here?
roderich looks to him We wanted to see how you are feeling, no need to be formal. The doctor took a lot of metal out of your body
he smiles i.... i couldnt let the civilians take the hits...the doctor hits him softly that is no reason to take over a dozen arrows to the back! if you had waited any longer it would have killed you! estolie gives a laugh as he puts his arms up come on it was for the good of the people
maria comes in with a tray of food and wine are you hungry? You lost a lot of blood
he looks over blushing ah my... my lady... th-Thank you... I umm... not sure what to say getting flustered
she looks eat, we can't have our hero falling on us she pours the wine into his cup
he smiles taking the cup as you wish my princess
he looks away and leaves roderich looking she missed you
he looks away with a smile I was just the boring errand boy. nothing special. I doubt she remembers any of the old days... but I remember them all
She dose..his hand digs though his coat pulling out a bundle of letters and gives it to estolie she sent these away while you where gone but they came back...
he looks taking the letters to me??.... well I was jumping around battle feilds... never in one place long
We will let you read them roderich leaves
he sits reading them as he eats stopping as he gets to a letter halfway through the war feeling terrible as she says she is sad that he hasn't responded oh no...
maria comes back an hour later to collect his dishes
he stands putting his tunic on the plates clean as he looks to her his eyes slightly red from crying as he goes to her kneeling and bowing My Princess~
What are you doing?! Your hurt! You need to heal!
he stands now much taller than her my princess I'm so sorry I just got your letters he looks upset I'm so sorry I never wrote back I never received them til now
You.....just got them? her eyes water I was so worried
he pulls her close to his chest making her feel safe I'm so sorry. such beautiful words were wasted on a man like me... but I am honored to have them and will treasure them. every word make the war seems years away
she cries hard everyday ..everyday I prayed for your safety..I thought you where dead! I thought you hated me.
he looks into her eyes my princess I do not hate you. the letters never reached me. I started so many letters of my own but they were all interrupted by battle cries. please forgive me
cuddles into him as she calms down
he holds her close forgive this fool... I'm so sorry I worried you princess
I'm sorry I was angry with you
he smiles caressing her cheek it's okay I understand
I umm..I better get these dishes back. The maids don't like waiting to long pickibg up the tray
he nods as he let's her leave sitting back as he starts writing
maria helping in the kitchen as she cleans smiling for the first time in a long time
it starts to get late as a stack of letters sits outside Maria's door. one in response to each letter she wrote
after a long day going to her room seeing the stack of letters as he picked them up reading them as she lays on her bed
each letter becoming more sweet the last letter reads my dearest princess, the war is over. i return home soon. The thing I can not wait to see is your smile. the thought of you made me fight harder and keep my mind clear. my drarest princess. My Maria when I return home I wish only to serve you like I did all thoughs years ago. for my princess i...
I? she looks confused looking all over the letter then gets up as she changes into a more elegant gown going out to find him
*he stands in the court yard looking up at the sky his hair braided slightly and pulled back
he looks down at his hand as it is bandaged giving a small sigh I'm such a coward... I couldn't finish it and tell her... tell her I love her...
she finds him looking angry why are you up?! I thought you went to lay down! You just got arrows removed
he pits his hands up in defence giving a smile I got the okay from the doc. he said fresh air will help me clear my head. However my lady it is late what are you doing out unsupervised?
Oh well I read all your letters....this one ends suddenly. Did you run out of ink for your quill? What where you going to say?
he turns red looking away ah well... it's unfinished because... I felt it wrong to say it in a letter
Well what is it? in wonder
he blushes looking at her my princess... I lo...
a another man walks up tall with black hair and a scar on his cheek there you are my darling maria looking down saddly this is my fiancé Hex. Hex this is Esolie my old body guard now captain of the guard
estolies eyes widen as he bows an honor Lord hex... looking to Maria eyes sad filled with heartbreak apologies I must return to the infirmary I have been gone too long
Yes we don't want our new war hero to fall..it would be embarrassing Hex grinning Maria looking like she wants to throw up Hex being 20 years older then her
estolies looks to him with serious eyes tell me sire will you be at the feast tomorrow night? I should be strong enough for it and would love to see you in attendance
Oh I will...not only will it be a feast for your welcoming back! But a feast to celebrate two kingdoms as I will wed Maria next week he holds her close she looks disgusted
I see... well see you both then he turns leaving, the next night at the feast estolies stands in the center of the room telling stories as he sees hex next to maria but now a new story...
maria watches smileing listening to him, hex noticing as he holds her. Her smiles disappearing
estolies glares as he draws the sword on his hip I call this the challenge!!..
maria watches smileing forgetting about hex
hex looking pissed off
He smirks a man, a soldier fights for his land! and the woman he has loved since childhood! he can not write her but when he returns he finds letters of caring and love! but... a villain is in this story!
a man dark as a moonless night vowing to take the solders love away! so... the soldier does the only thing he can think of! he turns pointing the sword at hex I challenge you for lady Maria's hand!! I win you leave and never come near our kingdom again. I loose.... I will kill myself and you may have her.
maria gasps as hex giggles and stands menicely your on! When and where?

Are you sure you want to do that boy? Grave consequences may pesue grinning but if you want to...at dawn we will fight for Maria's hand! If I lose I'll leave and this kingdoms crops will die and you all starve! At least Maria will be married to a war hero! Not feeding her people! everybody starts to whistper about there food crisis

he glares as a goblet is thrown hitting him in the back of the head you fool! you will kill us all just for her!! may you die by his hand he just stands as the woman becomes more violent toward him
Some people run others start to throw food and objects at him Maria crying as she runs
*he grits his teeth leaving the hall
maria hiding in her room crying in fear
he goes outside her room on the floor as he throws small rocks at her window
hmm? she cleans her face up as she opens the window Estolie?
he gives a smile as he puts a hand to the ground as a vine grows to her window a rose blooming a vow my princess... my letter... I love you Maria!
she blushes taking the rose you ..do ...really? smiles sweetly
he smiles I will stop him... I can keep our lands crops healthy I will keep you safe I promise!!
just be careful my knight! he can curse people and bring back the dead!
he smiles as he bows I'm not afraid I shall destroy him
Good luck my prince! I love you too
he blushes as he swallows I will not fail you he leaves, the next day in the arena waiting for hex to arrive as he mutters to himself
hex appears infront of him as he laughs so you did arrive!! Good
he opens his eyes starring not saying a word as he takes a stance not drawing any weapon
To easy he takes a stance as he summons the dead, zombies coming out of the ground hands taking hold of Estolies legs so he Dosent move
he doesn't move keeping eyes locked on hex as he continues to mumble to himself
zombies get closer and closer as dose Hex as he pulls out a green knife any last words boy?
he grins your an idiot his eyes glow white as he swings an arm up large wooden spears destroy the zombies as he grabs one swinging it at hex knocking him across the stadium
Off Ng asshole! raises his hand as a larg swarm of locusts flies to to estolie biteing him trying to eat him alive
estolies glares as he creates an orb of red engulfing the locusts in fire shooting the ball at hex hitting him straight on with it
hex takes off his coat his body covered in tattoos in a strange way. They start to glow as an undead dragon comes out of the ground roaring breathing a green toxic mist try fighting this!
his eyes wooden gritting his teeth very well! his eyes glow turning yellow as horns grow smoke conning from his mouth
the undead dragon flies at him fast clawing at him
dodges taking a hit as he holds a hand to his chest a large fire dragon appearing kill it! the dragon nods clashing with the dead beast
the dragons fight as hex swings his dagger at estolie furiously IM GOING TO MARRY MARIA, ILL MAKE HER HAVE MY CHILDREN!! THEN ILL SACRIFICE HER TO THE DEMONS IN HELL!!
estolie smiles grabbing the dagger threatening the royal family... is punishable by death!! drawing his sword slitting his throat
he looks in shock his black blood pours out as his undead dragons falls to the ground as toxic ooze seeps out of him
estolies backs away his breath heavy begone
toxic bllod oozes out of Hex as his body then turns into smoke
*estolie falls to a knee looking to the royal family
Maria runs to him taking hold of estolie my love are you okay??
