Roxana. And Rox. Interesting. Skender couldn't help but hold the laughter that rose to his throat. That woman had more surprises under her sleeve and to dare to come to the castle dressed as a man…He was speechless. Even more so that she flirted with him while dressed as a man. Flirting usually never worked on him. Women tried very often and failed. But this woman did it differently. She had a way with words and her delivery was remarkable. Lazarus suddenly appeared in his room. "I am going…-

Roxana followed the silver-eyed Lord thinking that he somehow reminded her of herself. She could see the mischief in his eyes and he knew more than he let on. He was dangerous and she would have to be careful around him. She couldn't tell what his intentions were and why he was giving her special treatment. Maybe he saw her as a clown and thought of using her as his errand boy to spy on the king. Either way, he wanted something from her and she would find out in time. Now she would meet the hooded king.…

Roxana was preparing herself to leave for the castle and train to become a Royal guard. After her encounter with whom she thought could be the King, she was a little worried but then only the very skilled would become the King's guards. She would probably guard another part of the castle if she even stayed that long. Her plan was to steal during her training before things got further and became more complicated. Looking at herself in the tall broken mirror that she had picked up from the garbage, she…

"Why did you save her? She was clearly lying?" Rayven asked him as they rode back. "I didn't. I just followed the law." Skender said not knowing why he even bothered. But something happened to him, his curiosity peaked when he saw his button around her neck instead of the cross. Why didn't she sell it to repay Ulric? And her scent, the scent of salt and ocean reached his nostrils and he didn't even like that scent. He was a river person. He shook his head. Why was he even making the comparison? As…

Roxana was going about her day as usual. Disguising, deceiving. Earning or stealing. Whatever worked. But since she had to repay Connor, she wasn't getting much left and it was becoming tiring. She needed to save money and have a good amount left that she could use to find her family. The bounty hunter she had hired, proved to be useless. She needed to find someone else or put more of her time to search for herself. "My Lady, these jewels bring out the color of your eyes," Roxana said holding the…

People spoke about him wherever he went. The traitor's son had entered the court at such a young age. He was the youngest to have become a courtier at the age of fifteen and now one year later the other courtiers still tried to prove that he wasn't worthy of his position. They thought the King had a thing for him and allowed him into court for other reasons. They also thought that he was the reason the King wasn't getting married. William watched Skender as the maid helped him slip into his Royal robe…

Happy birthday to DaoistPh8nDA! *************** Roxana hummed a melody on her way back home, forgetting about the pain in her leg and all the troubles she was in. What on earth had just happened? Who was that man? Hair like silk, skin like satin, eyes like jewels, and lips like rose petals. He even smelled good. Like mint and masculinity. "Oh," she shivered. She must have lost her mind under the water. For a moment she thought she had died and gone to heaven. Only an angel could look like that.…

Skender sat near the river, listening to the sound of flowing water. Birds were chirping in the spring weather and the breeze was getting warmer. The sun peeked from behind a few clouds, feeling warm against his cold skin. Leaning back against the tree he closed his eyes to rest for a while. This was the only place he could be left alone. For the many years that he had been coming here, he had never encountered anyone but today would be different. He sensed a presence. Opening his eyes, he saw a woman…

"Catch her!" Roxana ran as fast as her legs could carry her. She jumped over stones, avoided branches and trees on her way up the hill. But she was still too slow.? It was not the best day to be dressed as a woman and running in these shoes was a hindrance. It didn't take long for Connor and his men to surround her, some of them joining the chase on their horses. Roxana halted and looked around to quickly assess the situation. She held her hands up in surrender, "alright." She said looking at…
