    I have come to idea of writing story about female knight which fall into hands of the enemy king. But, instead of classic bondage stuff, making her break, he wants to get ransom for her. Badly for female knight, her own ruler refuse to pay for her ransom and her family fall in the wars, so she is only one of her house. Only thing what she possess, is her noble name and honour. So enemy king offers her chance to pay back by her own ransom. He will let her go for the year, to allow her to earn or somehow get money to pay back ransom. If she fail to do so, she has to return to captivity. Her renome is prove, that she will hold up he oath, sweared in front of army, nobles and clergy.

    Readers could vote for ways how to get promised money, in more or less corrupted ways, depending on their choice.

    What do you think about such idea? Would you be willing to read such kind of story?
