Aylward was a wealthy land owner. Haveing many fertile fields of crop, several patures, sheep, goats, and a moderate size chicken coop as well. His lands produced more than enough for himself and his help. The excess was sold off and gave him income to help maintan his estates as well as allowing him some of the finery that is often only for the very wealthy.

He has not wed or had children of his own many times men have offered their daughters to him with good dowries. Most of them rather pretty but they had no life in them. So each was turned down and send back home to be the prize for another man.

A rumor was spreading among some of his servants and the other land owners that he was not interested in women due to his lack of taking a bride. Though if you truely knew him you would know how silly such a statement was.
Many of his servants woudl tell you how he looks at them but has never taken them. Some thing something to be wrong with him that maybe a injury has left him little more than a man.

While walking along his property checking one of the many pastures he has he noticed a young woman walking along the road. She was nothing like he had seen before and knew that he had to have her. She was the one. She did not look like the other girls who didnt have a brain in their head.

Elena was considered by many to be a good woman for a wife. She was quiet spoken, but had a world of knowledge from her father. She had grown up with just her father in a rather simple home, learning of the world from the maps that her father created for some explorers, listening to the stories that he told. He was a great man and had raised his daughter as well as he could. However, there was never enough money for a proper wedding, and he only wanted the best for his daughter.

On this particular day, she had ridden into town with a few of her neighbours, needing to pick up supplies for her father. He was far too frail to travel lately and she was more then happy to try and help him. Walking down the dirt road, she plucked the petals off a flower, her basket in the crook of her arm. She might as well take her time, as she would not be leaving until the next morning.

Her red hair was pulled back into a braid, falling down a great length of her back, her skin almost as white as the long robe that she wore. A small red belt tied under her bust, attempting to give her better curves then her natural slim form did. Pausing on the street, Elena smiled and looked up to the sky, thanking the gods for such a beautiful day.

After seeing her his mind starts to race wondering about this girl, is she wed, is she promised to anyone. How to make her his. Watching as she moves down the road at a leasurely pace. Wondering if she is from around here how he has never seen her before.

Walking over to her. Looking her over as he does. He is a tall man standing at 6'0", his skin bronzed from working in his fields and tending to the animals. A lean muscular build without looking like a beast of a man.

"Who are you girl? A traveler from afar?"

Cant believe someone with such pale skin would live in this area where the sun is so warm.

Elena jumped at the sudden voice and tunred to look at the man walking towards her. "Yes sir, I am coming from a small village by the sea side. " she said, letting the stem of the flower slip from her fingers. "My name is Elena sir, I hope that I am not doing something wrong. I am not aware of any laws broken..."

Blue eyes moved over the mans firm build and realised that he must have heavy work to do in his lifestyle. His body looked like none other she had seen and he was far darker then anyone in her own village, most paler from the shade of the mountains around the town.

 

[Master_Kain]

Mentally grinning at himself for his good fortune while listening to you and looking you over.

"You walk across my lands as if they where yours girl. These lands are not open to one and all. All pay the fee to cross my lands. Peasant to King pay my fee. 15 gold dracmas you owe me. If you cannot pay they you will work your debt off. One year per dracma you owe."

Figuring you cannot pay the fee and will be forced to work your fee off. Even if you do have the fee its unlikely you will wish to part with such a sum for a toll. Wondering if you will try and weasel out of it someway or try and pay some other way.

As you began to talk, my eyes grew wide rather quickly. "Oh I am so sorry sir! I didn't know that this was your land! I would have never walked over it had I known. I am so sorry. I didn't know..." Elena kept repeating, shaking her head slowly.

"Oh no, please! I cannot stay here for fifteen years! I--I have to return home to help my family in a couple of days time. My father, he needs my help and his supplies. Please, have mercy! " she begged, looking at the man worriedly.

"I will do anything. Please, allow me to do something else to work off the debt much faster. Please sir...I have some money with me. It isn't much but I could pay you some now and some next time I come and so on..." she tried to reason.

 

[Master_Kain]

"You said you leave at the sea side. Its not that terribly far. I will send one of my servants with you so you may take what coin you have to your father. They will also escort you and your father back in my wagon so we may discuss the terms of your indentured service, and how long. You may ride in the wagon with my servant to get you home faster and to help assist your father here as well."

Looking over toward one of his servants and shouts for him to go ready the wagon and come here with it.

 

[sexymistress]

Elena looked at him with a nod of her head, "Thank you very much. " she said quietly and bit her bottom lip carefully. "I am so very sorry that I walked across your land. I didn't mean to disrupt anything and there was nothing to show me the difference between your land and what is not your land. "

As the servent rode over, she looked at him once again, "I promise to return as soon as my father can get everything together. "

Almost two days later, she returned with the servent, her father staying with friends in the town. She got out of the wagon with a small bundle of her own belongings, waiting before a house for the man to come and see her.

 

[Master_Kain]

The two days went by uneventfully as I knew the servant would make sure they would come in a timely manor. Having expected it to take another day or maybe two before you would arrive back but glad to see you back sooner.

"Come please follow me inside sir where we can talk. I am sure your both a little tired from the road. If you like I can have the servants find you a cot miss while your father and I talk."

 

[sexymistress]

"No thank you sir. I want to be with my father for as long as possible before he goes back to the center of town. " she said with a serious look at him, "I wish to be involved in the converastion about my fate. "
