"Yes, it is a good thing. Next time we shall take a picnic and a blanket. Perhaps even a bottle of mead." Melody spoke quietly.
" sure sounds good to me" He said stretching " tell you what I will be happy to leave this dry aried land I hate sand"
"I don't have any land of my own yet and have no clue how to get it back. What use is it to be a queen of a land where you do not rule?" Melody asked with a hint of anger.
"Well why wont they give it back to you? " Brian asked confused by her sudden anger
"Because I am a female and unfit to rule. Women do not rule, they bare babies and do dainty things. I hate the Sultan's ruling. A female can rule just as well as a man if given the desire and chance." was the reply.
He nodded softly " I agree with you... but how can they hold your land from you when its yours by right of birth?" He asked
"Because I only lived there for about 2 years. There was a cival unrest and my parents were killed. I was given to a gypsy to deliver me to some home with a trunk, a basket of clothes and a doll by my nanny. No one knew where I was or if I was even alive. Lord Pentre knew who I was by my name. Maybe of my mannerisms. I worked at King Conrad's castle as a kitchen girl.
To make a long story short, I fell in love with Prince Merthyr and went on a picnic....got captured by Lord Pentre and his men....And you can figure out the rest." she spoke as she looked at the ground.

Brian walked over to her and put a hand on her shoulder " Well find a way to get your home back, I promise " He said smiling at her
"Thanks, Brian. You are a good friend and lover. " Melody smiled up at him as she tried to think of happier thoughts.
" Ofcorse, I love you ill do anything for you" He said smiling still.
"No matter what it is? " Melody asked quite bluntly.
he nodded softly " no matter that it is. " He replied
"Hmmmm....... we shall see when the time comes which will be quite soon. Is this blasted storm going to let up? I have an appointment after lunch....." Melody asked as she laid her head against Brian's chest for comfort.
Brian held her in his arms "it looks like its clearing up" He said
"That is so good to hear but not as good as you holding me......." Melody murmered softly.
he chuckled softly " should have thought if this earlier then. " He said smiling watching as the wind continued to die down.
"Same here...... But we didn't and now we must face the consequences, whether they be bad or whether they be bad." Melody spoke softly.
Brian nodded softly " Yes, it looks safe to return now let me check real quick" he said walking over to the old door and pulled it open lookin outside and looked back at her " Yeah we can go now"
"Let's go then. " Melody spoke as she gave Prince a firm push backwards then turned him around so she could get him in position for her to mount.
Brian got his horse and lead it out looking to melody " Need help mounting before I get on my horse?" He asked
