"Its easy, You sim~" The Elv cuts off when there are Screams and Velca can feel The Vibration and The Sound of galloping Horses coming towards them fast. A Fight starts, who is quickly starting to end as many of Velcas Captors are cut down by Swords and Spears of fearless Riders. The Elv and her followers mount their own Horses and disappear in The Woods. The Soldiers free Velca and Amon from their bindings. "About Time someone came. These Savages tried to murder Me!" Amon states, his knees and hands Shaking Two Soldiers help The Blonde Noblewomen stand up. "Are You harmed My Lady?" They ask her in a Soft Tone.
@unisol_gr44 The Yearly Tourney outside The Walls of The Capitol of Ithia is about to begin once again, with Knights, Nobles and Soldiers of all Houses meeting eachother in Friendship and Battle for Glory, The Cheering People and of course King Marcus, Ruler of The Land Ithia himself. Cedric stands in his Tent as two Elves adjust and put on The Plates of his Armour. It is his First Tourney and his Uncle Rodrick will be among The Audience along with a New Squire according to The letter he received from Him a few Weeks ago.
Cedric tried out the fit of the armour, as it wasn't his own. He'd have to visit an armourer once he finally got his knighthood. He thought to the tourney, he wanted to impress all the nobles and knights in attendance. The royal family was there, of course, but also most other nobles of note. Also, his uncle's and his own family would be there. He hadn't seen his siblings and cousins in a good while and also wanted to make them proud of him. It wouldn't be easy, the King's personal tourney drew the most prestigious knights of the realm every year, and the winner would be handsomely rewarded as well. He waited for the elves to finish fastening his armour, before he pulled over the hauberk with the count's family crest. Grabbing his gauntlets and helmet, he went out to check on his horse and weapons before the first match.
Velca, knowing that she could be in serious danger if the soldiers think she was colluding with elves, plays the part of the blushing damsel, clinging to her saviors. "N-No sirs... T-T-Thanks to you... I don't want to think about what could have happened if you didn't help us."
Amon keeps arguing with several Nights about The Goods who were Stolen from Him and demands them to Retrieve his Belongings, but they ignore his Request Several Knights secure The Area and search for more possibly Danger. Two of them stay close with Velca. "Its over, Miss. We chased them off. It was fortunate that they decided to Rob You this Close to one of The Main Roads of this Forest." The other Knight nods "You are safe now. May You tell Us where You were heading before You were attacked?"
She remains close to the knights, seemingly still scared. "T-To the capital, sirs. I was going to see some properties to maybe invest in."
Cedrics Dark brownish Horse is being Saddled and cleaned by a Female Elv. She stops when he approaches and bows her Head in submission, avoiding eyecontact like it is common courtesy when A Servant of her Race is approached by a Noble or any Human of Status. "My Lord I'm almost done with Your Horse...." She says carefuly His Weapons, a Lance and a One handed Sword and a Green Shield with his Family Emblem, a White Eagle, are cleaned and wait for him to be picked up and deliver Fame and Glory. Cedric can hear The Crowds already gathering by The Arena, but he has still a little Time left to collect himself before all Eyes will be on him.
"If You wish We can bring You to The Capitol. The Roads are getting more dangerous lately and We wouldn't want You to be in Danger again." The Knight says, removing his Helmet. The other Knight walks over to Amon who was still arguing and offers The Same to Amon who sighs and nods, mounting a Horse with his Savior.
'Don't let me interrupt you then,' Cedric nodded to the elven girl and went to inspect his shield and weapons. Finding them well tended, he looked to the elf, 'Good work you've done. Are you one of my uncle' s servants? I don't think I've met you before.'
She shooks her Head as She proceeds to clean The Horse with a comb. "No My Lord, I serve The Royal Family here in The Capitol. Mostly tending to The Horses of Nobles and Foreign Visitors" she says demurely.
'I see,' Cedric started, 'Tell me once you're done with her fur, I'll help you put on her armour, it's a bit heavy.'
"Oh no no, there is no need for that My Lord. I'm capable to do it. I do it all The Time, but thank You for offering" She stops once Cedrics Horse is clean. It's fur now shiny and without flaw. She begins putting on The Plates of The Horse, looking briefly at Cedric as She does it. "If You allow Me the comment: I never saw You here either before My Lord. Are You from another Land?" She asks curiously
'Another land? Yes and no, I'm from Marhovis, it a county quite a ways to the north in the mountains, but it's still part of the kingdom. We are vassals to Archduke George of Ebenwald, who's a vassal to the king. It's my first time coming to the capital, though.'
"Marhovis? Oh I know that. Well I wasnt there myself but My Mother was a Servant of Lord Ebenwald in fact. I was supposed to serve there aswell but then The Owner of a Local Brewery buyed Me and I worked there for a Couple of Years. But he had to Sell me after a few Years when he closed down and at That Time The Royal Court was looking for Servants so I let myself get conscripted and now I'm here..." Her eyes suddenly go wide "B...But I didnt wanted to bore You with My Lifestory of course! I...I got carried away and...oh no im babbling aren't I? I just be quiet now, im deeply sorry My Lord"
Cedric had to laugh, 'My, aren't you suddenly talkative. So you know how to make ale and beer? I'm Cedric by the way, just Cedric, haven't go any fancy titles yet.'
She smiles nervously "Yeah, I probably could brew Beer, but personally I couldnt drink it. It's just bitter fluid honestly. Ale on the other hand I kinda nice. It's much more sweet and the process of making it is quiet fascinating. However The Prices for it are kinda low if You cons~....oh no I do it again" She proceeds to ready to Horse with The Armouplates, visibly emberassed and nervous.
'Seems you learned quite a bit while working at the brewery,' Cedric chuckled, 'Any drink available in the capital you can recommend?' It was probably soon time for him to ride out, he was enjoying talking with the elven girl, but there were other reasons for him being there.
She looks relieved as He continues The Smalltalk. A uncommon sight to see a Noble converse with a Servant or even Elf. They both hears a light cough to get their Attention and Cedric sees his Mother, Lady Catherine stand in The Doorway. The Elf bows her Head quickly, which Cedrics Mother replies with a Handwave, signalling her to leave them alone. Thankfully The Horse was geared and ready and She quickly leaves them alone. "My my look at You...You And Your Brothers used to Fight constantly with Sticks in The Garden, and now look at You. I couldn't be more proud my Dear" she smiles.
Cedric nodded to the elf and then took his mother's hands, kissing he cheek, 'Mother, what a pleasant surprise, I didn't expect you to come visit before things start off. You flatter me, you're looking radiant yourself today.' 'How are you? And how's the rest of the family doing?' Cedric asked, being out of the loop of family business while on the road with his uncle, 'Has father found a good husband for Celine yet?'
