Heidi and the Lord

An adopted child, Heidi was a smart and obedient girl because she had to be. Used as a scapegoat by her family, she was sent to become the political bridge between two empires. Taken in by the House of the infamous White King, Lord Nicholas Rune, she would be cared for and supervised until her wedding with his cousin, Warren Lawson. A man whose gentle appearance and benevolent manner earned him the title White King of the Empire, Lord Nicholas was a man kindest to the souls around him. Very few knew about the truth that lay beneath his beautiful visage. Who could predict a little human girl would bring out the best and the worst of a noble pureblood? ----- “Now, tell me, Heidi, why do I have a bad taste in women?” As Lord Nicholas took a step forward, she took a step back. Heidi had said too much, and she regretted it. Would he let her go free? Gulping, she warned him, "What you're doing could be considered harassment, milord." "I wouldn’t. I’d call it persuasion.” He took another step towards her, his frame towering over her. "I believe the dictionary in your library would disagree with you, milord." She retreated another step back, shrinking away, hoping he would give up. “I keep the good one in my room. You can come to see for yourself if you don’t believe me.” Her back struck the wall behind her. "You haven’t answered my question, Heidi." The Lord was too persistent, Heidi cursed to herself. He was unwilling to let her go.

Stay- Part 1

Heidi had come out to the forest with the Lawson's, Warren's cousin Agnes, Mr. Rufus and Nicholas on a bright sunny afternoon with a clear sky above them. It was mostly like this; to go hunting when there was no hint of rain. It was the fourth time for Heidi to join them in their hunting activity and the difference today from the rest of the days was that she held a bow and an arrow in her hand. She didn't enjoy it, but Heidi was well aware that this was one of the natural things the elite did, killing animals to kill their own time.

"What was the bet again?" Venetia asked already ready and aiming for something Heidi couldn't see.

"The one who hunts the largest mule deer in less than an hour will be given a land each from all the participants," Lord Nicholas said looking around the forest.

"I believe Lady Heidi and Lady Frances won't be participating," Timothy said looking at the ladies.
