"Yes, I understand perfectly well what you are saying, Ealdorman Saxon I understand what you are all saying. But, I will be ushering in a new era when I am fully crowned, I will be adopting Easton and giving him my surname." Raiden spoke up as he stared down each old man sitting across the table. "But, Your Highness I must fully interject..." Ealdorman Eagon Dutton uttered as he raised his voice trying to be heard. "Ealdormen, hear me, I will be adopted Easton, giving him my surname, and giving him a family, something that poor boy needs." Raiden held up his hand to shush the whispers and objects from the old men. "He will be my son in name, he will have no claim to the throne, he will not be first in line, that will fall to Bridgette and I children. I will bring him up in royalty, the royal
"Handsome," Bridgette called out to Raiden as he walked toward his study. "I know we have our wedding and coronation to plan for, but I've been thinking. We need to find those kids a home, I think we should hold another adoption day." "That sounds like an excellent idea my love," Raiden walked back over to his fiance with a smile on his face as he wrapped her in his arms and lightly kissed the top of her head. "Last time didn't go so well, but Ealderman Leif told me that he believes people will adopt. It's been so long since they could and there are so many families that don't have any children." "I think that is a grand idea," Ealderman Silas yelled out as he interrupted the couple. "Apologizes for eavesdropping Your Royal Highness, I came to ask your promised if she wanted to make wedding plans." "That would be a wonderful idea Ealdorman Silas if these children all had homes. I will come with you to plan another adoption day." Bridgette smiled as made her way over to the old man
“Fascinating, don’t you think Uncle?” Bridgette took her uncle aside into a hallway as they watched people nod their heads as they noticed her presence. “Ealdorman Silas yipped in celebration. Amazingly, they used thuribles as the Romans or Catholics do in ceremonies.” She acknowledged each person that nodded their head in passing with a smile or nod. “Amazing really, at first I didn’t think much of it, but having no contact with the rest of the world and still having these things in common is astonishing.” “Yes, it is remarkable, though I wish you would have stayed in school to finish your Ph.D. in history.” Dr. Hawthorne replied as Ajay appeared seemingly out of thin air. “You were majoring in history?” Ajay asked cocking his head to the side. “This is something new I did not know,” Raiden walked up next to Ajay almost a foot taller standing side by side he overshadowed him. “Yes,” Bridgette said flatly walking out of the hallway. “You would become a doctor like
“I’ll never be able to make this right to her,” Raiden stared off into the distance as Agneta was putting on his armor. He was refusing to make eye contact for fear he might see the sympathy in her eyes, and right now he needed to keep a clear head. “No, don’t say that, she loves you!” Agneta replied as she pulled the leather straps to tighten his breastplate. “Bridgie is the most wonderful person I know, she reminds me so much of my grandmother, Olive, her looks, her mannerisms, everything. My grandmother was wonderful, she was loved by all and understood the world, she never tried to hide anything, and my Bridgie is just like her, she loves you, she will have nothing to forgive, you are her life, now save her!” Dr. Hawthorne said as he came up behind Raiden putting his hand on his shoulder in comfort. Raiden held back a sniffle and cleared his throat as he pulled down his shirt. “I will get her back and kill the Ainsleys.” His voice changed as he gathered the black paint a
Raiden looked up as he heard the woman he loved in peril. He followed the horror that echoed through the halls and his mind, with his heart still heavy from his Uncle and now this, the woman that saved him, he shuddered to think what made her yell such a blood-curdling scream. “Bridgette!” He yelled out as if to tell her he was on his way as if to reassure her he had an army at his back ready to slice down anyone in his path. “Did that come from the cells?” Miles asked as he held his bleeding arm they ran through the halls without saying another word. They knew what the other was thinking, get Bridgette and kill Sheamus and Coffrey. As they passed the rooms they heard a faint grunt and a crash. “Go to Bridgette,” Miles said as he headed toward the monarch’s chamber. “I’ll handle this!” He twisted an axe in one hand and held his dagger in the other, with one motion he swiftly kicked the door open. “Agneta!” He threw his weapons down and ran to her side to help her to he
“Bridgette, your Queen-to-be, and I are ecstatic to announce that the children from the Keeper’s Ward will finally have loving families! Please, come and adopt a child.” Raiden looked over at Bridgette smiling as she kept her eyes on the children towards the back of the room. She clapped her hands which prompted the crowd to copy, she watched as Jaqnie took the eager children to the grand ballroom so that they could run around as the people started to follow. Just as the crowd made their way into the ballroom the doors closed abruptly. Sheamus appeared from the shadows, with blue paint across his eyes, shirtless carrying his lucky silver ax. “Sheamus, what are you doing?” Raiden inquired as his hand immediately shielded Bridgette. “I’m here for your lovely doll, King of Nothing,” Sheamus smiled showing his missing teeth while narrowing his focus on Bridgette. “Sheamus, you ox’s ass! You dare come here to propose this bullshit?” Seti grab
“Nice to see you finally awake, Ms. Hawthorne.” Ealdorman Amos exhaled sitting in a chair next to the bed in the dark. Bridgette screamed as she grabbed the cover and quickly sat up in bed. “Why are you here?” “You’re late!’’ The Ealdorman paused. “ We have so many things to go through and you are late!” He stood up and moved away from the bed. “You can’t be in here!” She grabbed a pillow and gripped it tightly against her chest. “This is absurd.” “This isn’t absurd, you are late, that is absurd.” Amos raised his voice while rolling his eyes and leaned on his long staff with both hands swaying. “I was let in by your page at the door.” He pointed his boney finger to the door as a young blonde girl quickly closed it on the other side. “I didn’t know I had to do something today,” Still clutching the pillow as she looked around the room realizing Raiden wasn’t there. “He isn’t late, I’m sure. Get dressed,
“Ms. Bridgette Hawthorne, you were summoned before the council, what say you?” Ealdorman Amos started as he cleared his throat to get the attention of his fellow Ealdormen. “I come of my own accord and am at the mercy of the council.” Bridgette closed her eyes, slightly dipped her head, and turned her hands palm up as she sat in the large chair next to Ealdorman Leif. “Ms. Bridgette Hawthorne you are brought before the council on this day. We the Ealdormen of this council have educated you on our history, our culture, and our customs.” Ealdorman Leif leaned forward on his staff. “We understand that you wish to marry Prince Raiden?” Ealdorman Silas spoke up leaning on the long table to hear better. “I do, Ealdorman Silas.” She put her hands together as Rexus came under the table and put his head in her lap. “We will grant you this, under a condition.” Ealdorman Eagan leaned back in his chair as he paused. “You will take an Ealdorma
“My love, I can not go into the council with you, but I will be right here when you get out.” Raiden held onto Bridgette’s shoulders as he looked deep into her almond-shaped blue eyes. He hugged her tightly, kissed her forehead, then leaned forward to knock on the big wooden doors. As they opened he was greeted by two large guards, they moved aside letting Bridgette enter. “Ms. Bridgette Hawthorne, you were summoned before the council on this day, what say you?” Bellowed Ealdorman Amos as he sat on the other side of the long wooden table. She stood still with her hands in front of her, nervously taking a deep breath. “Well, this council is waiting!” Amos got louder as he stared her down. “Say you come of your own accord and are at the mercy of the council,” Ealdorman Leif whispered to her, smiling. His seat was at the opposite end of Ealdorman Amos. “I come of my own accord and am at the mercy of the council.” She kept her head d
“I’m so excited to be coming on this adventure!” Squealed Bridgette as she walked around the lab, looking at the many chemicals left scattered on the counters. “It’s not an adventure, Ms. Hawthorne, it’s a science expedition.” Calvin sighed, packing up the fragile equipment. He reached to a taller shelf and packed another delicate machine in a padded crate. He seemed to have an unusually long nose with a narrow bridge that almost didn’t fit his slender face. As he moved past Bridgette around the laboratory benches, she caught whiffs of mint and old books. “Please have some decorum on this trip. It’s vitally important that we get the information we’re searching for.” He turned to face her, his wide, hard eyes focusing her attention. He always seemed more classy and calm than she did, but Bridgette supposed it was the French accent that hovered around him like cigarette smoke. She shrugged her shoulders and turned down the corners of her mouth. “I will Cal,” She continued looking
