OUT OF SIGHT

Chapter 14

Cora looked at me in the strangest way, not that her face actually looked strange or anything, no it was just a look I have never seen on her face before.

"I see your point," she said after some thought.

"but you have to understand that that's the way you want us, men I mean. They want a pretty little thing that does what they say and thinks what they think, and agrees with everything, that's the way we are brought up to be, to be what men like, that way we can support our families, it's a far trade." She said Emotionlessly.

I thought it over, I guess I never really thought about it that way, and frankly I had to agree with the girl, she told me how she felt and it drove me up the wall most of the time but somehow I didn't mind much.

"Hmm, I see. I guess your right for once"

"I am always right" she said.

"You know," she said after some thought.

"If you want to find a girl that will keep your mind occupied then I suggest that you go look elsewhere, not in the Palace with the royalty and wealth, but among the simple folk. a simple farm girl would do you just fine and you would be pulling a hole family out of the gutter." She said in all seriousness and I couldn't help but laugh. "I don't mingle with the peasants" I told her.

She looked at me and then just shrugged.

"What about you? Your quite old to be unmarried, Most of the girls your age have 4 children by now." I asked her curiously.

She laughed. "Unlike you I am not even looking for anything like that, i don't think about such silly things." She said with a truthful tone.

"To good for anyone I take it?" I asked

"Indeed" she said with a smile but I could tell there was something else behind it. "So" she continued. "Are we going to shoot or what?"
***
We spent the afternoon shooting and oddly I began not to mind it so much, after all it was better then hearing my mothers baby story's about me, she Often got carried away especially when guests were around. Cora was a great shot and I often worried she would beat mine, but luckily never did. We were unbelievably even at archery, I found that odd, because nobody usually even came close to me. The sun was almost setting and we decided to go back to the palace, nether of us in a rush to get there.

we arrived at the stables and entered it, I noticed a boy in one of the stables mocking out a stall, a stable boy I thought. He was a medium built fellow with dark brown hair and light blue eyes. He turned as he noticed us however he seemed to look right through me at Cora, That intrigued me.

He smiled at her then bowed at both of us respectfully, he walked over to Cora and helped her off her horse grabbing her waste as he did, I found myself clenching my fists. I couldn't help feeling annoyed at the sight of him touching her like that. What the hell is wrong with me?

I got off my horse and tied him out myself.

"Hello James! How have you been?" Cora asked

"Been busy my lady, haven't had the time for much lately but that's good I would rather be working then starving." The boy named 'James' said to her

"Oh don't be silly, you know I would never let you starve." Cora said as she smile genuinely, not a fake smile she usually has plastered on her face but a real one.

James looked up at me then back to Cora then Cora shifted uncomfortably before she introduced us.

"I am sure you have heard of my fiancé?" She asked him. There was definitely something unspoken between those words.

"Oh.. I heard plenty." He said knowingly. I was utterly confused but I decided I would just ask Cora about it later.

"Well William this is James, a old childhood friend. And James this is William my fiancé. " she said to the both of us. Is she trying to introduce me to a stableboy? a mere servant? That is just ridiculous.

"We don't talk to the likes of them" I said to her.

She looked at me with utter disbelieve and shock then her face straightened and she stared at me emotionlessly.

"Well then... I think we are done here don't you?" She said to me coldly.

"Come with me James will you?" She said as she stormed out of the stables.

Damn woman.....
