"Indeed," Finn said with a nod. "Would your grace care to take the beast's pelt? Had you not led the guardsmen to the north, cutting off the beast's escape, it could not have been taken. So truly it is as much your kill as any, and i'm sure Michael would be pleased to make you a gift of it."

"History keeps her secrets longer than most of us. But she has one secret that I will reveal to you tonight in the greatest confidence. Sometimes there are no winners at all. And sometimes nobody needs to lose."

Was it you or Michael who struck the killing blow Master Varner?"

"Excuse me...Your Grace. It was me," she said in a small voice.

If it was possible, she blushed deeper still.

"You're too kind, Finn" she said. " I would very much like to be like Nymeria, but I don't know if I can be. The old days of heroes are done. But if I could, Your Grace, I would show all of Westeros that women can do good and brave deeds too."

Hugh looked at Finn, and his mouth grew very tight.

You'd have thought that having spared Hugh the rest of the day tramping around looking for the second beast was worth some consideration.

Her heart leapt at the King's words. Dared she ask for what she wanted most in all the world? She clasped her hands nervously as she spoke.

"Your Grace, when I was a little girl I dreamed of being a knight. I cried when I was told that women can't be knights. But I don't think that should stop us from being able to wield arms. What I want most of all in the world is for the chance for women to become warriors. I dream of leading a group of lady warriors to do honour to our sex and to the Seven Kingdoms. And to Your Grace, if you will give me your blessing. I would be truly honoured and in Your Grace's debt if you would help me to do this thing."

She paused for breath. She felt slightly lightheaded with her own boldness.

"If your Grace will allow it, I would like the opportunity for proper training such as a boy is given when he becomes a squire. With a knight to teach me. If could do this mayhaps it would be proof of my dedication and help me to draw likeminded women to my side when I am in a position to form my band of lady warriors."

Now would be a terrible time to stumble and she didn't want to look foolish in front of the king.

Tytos: I know this is distasteful, but I've been invited to a new RP on a Discord server, discord.gg/xnjMU it's gonna be a little more casual than these forums, no combat system and more player-driven Jan 23, 2017 22:07:20 GMT -5
