The long-awaited knighthood banquet in Jerusalem has finally arrived. Emma and the other handmaid had been preparing me for the occasion. Sir Tindall, thankfully, delivered the dress on schedule.

The scent of new lavender and the warmth of the sun on my face awoke me. I gradually opened my eyes and peered up at the strange ceiling. I sat up and took a good look around. My body had an odd, foreign feeling to it. A big mirror was just next to my bed. I gently stood up and turned to face the strange figure in the mirror. She had long, soft-wavy black hair that reached to her waist; snow-white skin; hazel brown eyes with long, thick lashes; and pale red lips. She was dressed in a white nightgown. The…

Every time we stopped and caught our air, he kissed me again and again, his lips hungrier, nibbling, thrilling my body, awakening my inner soul. My stomach began to tingle, and his skin felt hot as I wrapped my arms around his neck. I desired this, I desired the way he made me feel, and I desired him... As his weight softly pushes and leans me against the tree while his tongue devours mine and holds me there while I writhe in his arms where his hand goes through my thin crimson fabric of my dress as he…

In the meantime, in the King's courtroom Baldwin POV: "Aren't you going to say anything? you're awfully quiet," I questioned William. "nothing at all," the old man continued to work, but then groaned. "alright... your majesty, I am not in the position to pry into your private matters, but you need to be more discreet...

My ladies in waiting and I were sitting in a garden, sipping tea. I felt awkward since everyone was so quiet. For instance, each of these women is attractive and distinct; Lady Olivia appears to be the youngest of the three, at only 16 years. Her smile is beautiful, and her youth most likely gives a refreshing and energetic spirit to the gathering. Lady Catherine, with her brunette beauty, must be going through a difficult period following her divorce. It's understandable that she's looking for a new…
