"I doubt that, like my father would let..." Jayde stopped as an important looking messenger enetered the resteraunt. "here we go..." The messenger stopped at their table and bowed to Jayde, who looked embarassed. "The lord has requested.." The messenger started. "I know. Tell him I'll be there soon." Jayde said, looking down again. "Um, Edgar, I have to be somewhere. I'm really sorry"

Jayde stood as well. "I enjoyed it very much, um, here" She dug into the pocket of her robe and drew out some coins. "For the meal"

"Thankyou" Jayde said, smiling at him,. then quickly walking out of the resteraunt and up to her father's castle, slipping in through a back door where she was ambushed by ladies-in-waiting, who proceeded to make her look presentable to see her father.

edgar smiled and left the money for the check on the table, walking out. he obviously had somewhere to go, as he seemed to be in a hurry.

Jayde finally looked a lot less like the serving girl she was in the church, and more like the Lord's daughter, dressed up in the finest dress and jewelry. Jayde looked miserable. This could only mean one thing. Her father had got another suitor for her to see. She waited at the side door to her father's drawing room, waiting to be introduced so she could walk in. "You know anything about this new one?" Jayde asked her handmaid, who looked mystified. "No maam, but I hear that he is a real catch" Jayde rolled her eyes.

the announcer called her name so that the moment she walked into the room, she'd see edgar standing next to her father. his clothes were different, looking more official, and he stood like a man of the military, with his hands behind his back.

The door opened and Jayde walked in, followed by two of her handmaids, walking and generally acting like a lady, not a girl like she was before. She curtsied and then looked up, shock registering on her face when she saw Edgar standing there.

"You?" She managed to say, before being cut off by her father. "Jayde, my dear, I'd like for you to meet Captain Edgar Allen, the captain of the army in the next province. He has asked for your hand in marriage, despite your.. err.. track record in these matters." Jayde's father turned to look at her. "Well, my dear, what do you think of that?" Jayde seemed speechless, but then got over the shock. "That.. is most gracious of you, Captain" She said, softly, keeping her head bowed.

edgar was about to say something about her head being bowed, but remembered her father was there and decided against it. "i'm sorry i didn't tell you before. i'm not the type to take a woman just out of wanting one, i wished to meet you first." he smiled to her. "i really like you"

"Thankyou very much" Jayde said softly, her head still bowed. "You two have met?" Jayde's father sounded suprised. "Well, then I need to make no introductions"

Jayde wanted to back away, but held her ground, head still bowed. "Why thankyou, Captain" Jayde's father beamed. Jayde felt disgusted. Her father was acting as if she'd been living in the castle and pampered, so her state now was credit to him.
