She looked at him when he said that, backing up a bit, as she knew she wasn't allowed up there, she wasnt' wanting to get in trouble with her king.

Ashlynn: I'm sorry your majesty, but I'm not allowed in the castle.  I would die as soon as I entered ....

She said honestly as she didn't want that.

Ashlynn: If anything i would love to just go home, I promise to come back and care for your horses.

She was glad he was letting her go.

Ashlynn: Thank you, sir.

She bowed in respect, before she took off wanting to go home..

Going home wasn't so good with her... She had found her father had been killed when the village had been attacked... There wasn't much left of her home either...

She had tears in her eyes as she was standing at what was left of her home, as it was still burning a bit as she heard what he said.

Ashlynn: This is my home... Or what's left of it...

Shey was thinking about it, as she didn't even think about that at the moment, not sure where things stood.

Ashlynn: I am now a slave at the castle...

She said as she knew that once she had been taken to the stables she would be forced to stay there.

She looked at him when he said that as she bit her lip a bit thinking about it, rather afraid of the current king, and what he would do if she did that...

Ashlynn: He'd kill me...

she said terrifed,  knowing they didn't like anyone going against them.

She was shocked himself , as she was afraid, but she saw Henry looking at her expecint her to answer.

Ashlynn: Ashlynn.

She said in a small voice.

She looked at him confused not understanding what really was going on, or why she had to change.

Ashlynn: Dress for what?

Ashlynn bit her lip as she looked at him thinking about it, she was really scared here, and she had dealt with a lot the past few days, but saw him smile warmly at her, and assure her as she nodded her head after a moment, as she went with them, doing as she was told.

She was shocked taking it all in but she nodded her head, as she would obey.

Ashlynn: Alright.

She was pretty terrifiede through this entire thing, afraid that she would be figured out, but she hadn't been.  Mary had calmed her down and relaxed her, letting her know that she would be fine. 

She was still very much scared, but had done all that she had been told as she looked at him nodding her head.

Ashlynn: Alright.

She nodded as she looked at him doing as he said as she got in with Mary and soon they were off leaving the castle she stayed quiet and pretty well curled up , afraid of being found out.

She nodded as she took his hand as he helped her out and onto his horse, placing her in front of him.  She blushed a bit when his arm went around her, as he smiled enjoying her there as they road on as she got the first look at his kingdom.

She leaned back against him as she heard what he said as she nodded her head a bit thinking about everything.  So much had happened in such a short time, she didn't really know what to make of it all.  Once they were at the palace , she was helped down, as he actually missed her being so close to him as he got down off the horse as well... Ashlynn shyly looked around taking in all the sights.

She was confused but did as she was told, as she followed Mary who was happily explaining things to her as they made there way.

She had meant the children and had fallen in love with them as she had been playing with Edward, as he had relaxed her almost right away.  She looked up at Henry when he came in as she heard what he said as she nodded her head, getting up after a moment as he had his hand held out to her.  She took it as she went to him.

Ashlynn froze when he said that, she had no idea that he was really wanting to get married...It was just mind blowing that a king would want to marry a lowly servant, well actually a slave when he meant her... She had never thought she would even be in a place like this, allowed to set at the table...

Ashlynn: What?  Married? 

She looked at him when he said that as she didn't even know what to think about all of thise.

||Ashlynn||- I have nothing to offer... I am nothing... Why would a king want to marry someone as lowely as I?

She said ashamed of how her life had turned out.  She had lost everything in moments thanks to her old king and his family.

She blushed when he said that as she looked at him, no one had ever said she was beautiful as she hasnh't even thought of having children, and the way he said that and looked at her made her shiver a bit, as she wasn't use to this kind of attention.  He took her hand as he continued to walk with her, explaining things a bit more as to how it worked in the castle, assuring her she would have time to adjust and get use to things...

She just nodded as she didn't really know what else to do, as he smiled feeling pleased with his choice as they got to the dinning hall as they sat down, she took a deep breath as everything was explained to her, and she made it through dinner really well.

After it was done, he let them go and get ready for bed, having a few things he wanted to take care of... Ashlynn spent a lot of time with the children as Edward seemed really attached to her so soon as she liked the boy..

She had helped him get ready to bed, tucked him in, and even told him a short bed time story that her father use to tell her when she was a small child.  Once he was asleep she left his room and headed down to hers, thinking about everything.

She looked at him surprised as she saw him smile as she bowed a bit just so shocked.

Ashlynn: Thank you, my lord.

She said as she rose up a little looking at  him.

Ashlynn:  I don't know what to say.

She nodded as she looked at him thinking about it, this was all so much, she had no idea what she waqs doing, but she would try to do her best, she wanted to make him happy for all that he had done for her, hoping that he wouldn't regret wanting to marry her...

She had no idea how she was going to ever remember all of this but nodded her head as she watched him go, leaving her all alone, she looked around a bit, seeing the ladies come in, as mary was there too, knwoing she was feelign uneasy about it all... Mary helped her out, making her feel a bit better about it all, putting her at ease...

After a few weeks she did settle in pretty good, and well now it was the wedding day as she was walking down to marry the king as she was terrifed, but did as she was told, and after a very long ceremony she was married..

She looked at him as she was glad he was so patient with her as she smiled a little looking at him as she was thinking about it.

Ashlynn: I feel like I'm dreaming.

She said honestly as she felt this was all too good to be true, her life had changed somuch in such a short time.  She saw him smile as it made her heart flutter a bit, as he leaned in kissing her softly, as she returned his kiss.

She nodded as she was thinking about it, she had been preparing for it daily, her dress had been finished as she knew she was able to do it, she had settled in rather well, remembered all the rules.  All the lessons.

She smiled warmly as she looked at him.

Ashlynn: You saved me from a horrible life, took me in, and wanted me as your wife.

She paused looking at him .

Ashlynn: You've made me happy by just wanting me.

She looked at him when he said that as she was thinking about it.  Mary had told her that already as she nodded her head.

||Ashlynn||- I have been informed.

She paused a moment.

||Ashlynn||- I will try hard to not make you regret me.

She nodded as she looked at him, as the first part wasn't even an issue for her as she was a very loyal woman.

Ashlynn: I'll do my best to give you another son.

She looked at him when he said that as she nodded, it was all very overwhelming, as she was trying to do all she could to make him happy, though this was differently anything that she was use to, or raised doing, but she wanted to make Henry happy.

She nodded doing as she was told as the celebration went on for awhile, when he noticed his queen was looking a little tired from it all, he was able to  sneak her off as she smiled happy he was so patient with her.

Ashlynn: Thank you.

She said as she walked with him down the hall.

She watched him go as she sat in her chambers for a little bit, then the ladies showed up as mary did as well, helping her get out of the wedding gound, as she felt a bit better to no being wearing so much, but knew it was something she would have to get use too.  She hugged her step daughter then let her and the other ladies go as she saw in the chambers thinking about everything.

She blushed a bit as she looked at him as she was thinking about it.

Ashlynn: Thank you.

She looked at him, seeing he was very much dressed down from how he usually was, as it let her actually look at her husband for the first time.

Ashlynn: You are very handsome, and you look more relaxed than normal.

she smiled warmly as she noticed how he looked.

She held the mug as she looked at him thinking about what he said, as she took a breath a bit.

Ashlynn: Thank you.

She said as she took a sip.

She bit her lip a bit as she was thinking about it, as she knew this was part of her duty as his wife. but she was still really nervous about it.

Ashlynn: thank you.

She nodded as he helped her sit down as she drank some more of the wine as she looked at him thinking about everything.  Once he made sure she had finished it all he took the mug and sat it aside.

Ashlynn: Thank you.

She said in a small voice.

She giggled a bit as she was feeling pretty good now from all the wine as she looked at him shaking her head, as it was a bit dark now.

Ashlynn: It's a bit dark...

She giggled again.

She brought her hand up touching the side of his face.

Ashlynn: But i like looking at your face.

She smiled as she was thinking about it.  As it was hard to see with it being dark.

She smiled as she looked at him, happy that she could see his face once again.

Ashlynn: Yes, thank you.

She said as she giggled a bit more.

She gasped a bit feeling his hand on her leg as she shook her head as she didn't feel afraid anymore.

Ashlynn: no.

She cried out a bit, but the pain didn't last as she was kissing him back, as she had her hand on his chest as she let out a soft moan after a moment.

She laid there with him sleeping, feeling safe as he held her close.  When morning came she was able to crawl out of bed with out him noticing as she didn't want to wake him,  her being a servant had her use to being up really early, she sat looking out the window as she was thinking about how much her life had changed in such a short time.

She looked over at him as she smiled warmly as she wasn't sore at all.

Ashlynn: I'm fine, just looking outside.

She looked at him as he handed her the glass as she thanked him.  They stood there looking out the window as they took a sip.

Ashlynn:  I lit the fire, it was a little chilly and you felt cool to the touch.

She said after a moment as she thought about it.

She was shocked when he said that as she didn't know that..

Ashlynn: Why are there men in my chamber thingy?

She said still new to all this.

She held that around her as she was thinking about it, not really wanting to be scene not decent by some other guys, she was a rather shy girl.

Ashlynn: Oh, I see.

She said as she pulled the robe around her

She nodded as she was thinking about it as they sat down eating and talking a bit... She was glad that he was patient with her and all was going over well.

The coronation went really well,k and she got settled into things well, the children loved her, and even the subjects in the town had grown attached to her as well as she was very hands on with all that she did with the duties...

She frowned a bit when he said that as she hated to see him go.

Ashlynn: Where are you going love?

She frowned hearing that, as she had meant all of his family, and loved his sisters they were very dear to her.

Ashlynn: I'll be praying for you.

She nodded as she looked at him thinking about it as she understood why he was wanting to go and to be there for his sister.

Ashlynn: I understand
