Chapter 4
They rode out of the forest later that day. Ville had control of the reins of the giant steed, Bam’s hands were wrapped firmly around his slight waist. Bam believed that he would have been better off walking, although he had to admit that he enjoyed being this close to the pale beauty, feeling his body against his own… Bam shook the thoughts away before they got any further. He was getting too deep too quickly. Heck, this time yesterday he didn’t know who the man was!
Ville sat tall in his seat, his mind racing faster than the horse below him. What in all that is good would he tell his parents? There was no way he could tell the truth about Bam, his parents would turn him in immediately. Despite how little he knew of Bam, he didn’t want that.
They arrived at the steps to the castle and Ville’s mind was still groping for plans. Before Ville had even helped Bam off the horse his parents stormed into the courtyard.
“Ville Hermanni Valo!” His mother hissed.
Ville helped Bam from the horse, “Ah, the full name, looks like I’m in trouble” he said with a grin and a wink.
Bam couldn’t stop himself from grinning back.
“Where in the world have you -” his mother paused and scrunched up her nose, “What is that?”
Bam felt incredibly small under the Queen’s scrutinised gaze, he opened his mouth but no sound came out.
Ville only thought a second longer before announcing, “He is lord Brendan of Finland”
“Oh? I thought they had no ruler” his father commented.
Bam quickly came into his role, “They did not, my lord, until they traced the family lineage to me. I do apologise for my attire, I was robbed in my journey. I was lucky Prince Ville found me when he did else I would be done for”
The queen laughed melodically, “Well now, that changed everything. Please, do come and join us lord Bam, we were just starting supper”.
Chapter 5
Bam sat nervously at the long table, its top covered in all sorts of colourful delicacies. He hadn’t been able to get a moment alone with Ville since they arrived at the castle as he was finding it hard to keep up the lies.
“So Lord Brendan, what caused you to make such a long journey to England?” The queen asked.
Bam tore his gaze from the food to look at the queen, “Family, your highness, they live in these parts I believe”
“You do not know where they are?”
“No, I’m afraid we had… complications and I lost contact with them”
“Oh my, you poor dear. Sweetheart we must help them reunite!”
“Yes dear” the king mumbled between mouthfuls of food, clearly not interested in the conversation.
“Tell me Brendan, what are your parents’ names?”
Bam faltered, what would he say?
“Mother, when Brendan was robbed he hit his head and lost some of his memories” Ville stated quickly, flicking a quick glance at Bam.
The queen gave him a sympathetic look, “You poor dear. Do you remember anything?”
Bam bowed his head, “From what I know, they will go by the name of Margera”
“Margera,” the queen said thoughtfully, “Sweetheart do you know that name?”
“No dear” the king mumbled again.
“Well than,” the queen said cheerfully, “We shall start searching immediately. For now, we eat. Afterwards, I will have a servant show you to your room and get you some new clothes”.
