She was honestly not ready for such a night. A soft angel like Guinevere being under the hands of a strong chief guard like Noah. Was that even true? She had told her father early in the afternoon about Noah, and to her expectance, he was ever so delighted to hear that Noah was a Noble and not to mention a chief fighting for his own country. Yet, Guinevere did not mention how old the man was.
Guinevere was dressed in a long, fine violet gown that flowed on the ground as she walked. She had let her hair flow down in dark curls. She was wearing the finest jewellery for the event too. She gulped as she stood up straight and began to make her way into the main hall.
At the corner of Guinevere's green eye, she could seek guards giving her the eye instead of doing their duty. She ignored them and walked on until she reached her final destination.
Noah was not there yet, so she decided to wait for him. She was thinking. What if Noah was actually playing with her and he did not arrive here? Ironic for a man like him. She sighed standing up straight against a wall, innocently, waiting for him.

Noah wanted to make the best impression possible as after all this as his future wife. He wore an expensive dark purple tunic and cleaned up as well as he possibly could. He wanted to turn up late, but not late enough that she would leave. That would e rather embarrassing and his chances of seducing her would be very slim, there is nothing worse than a lady getting stood up.
He his chamber in a complete mess and got on his best horse, he was almost there but thought that he should probably give her a gift so he stopped, turned around and went back. He rummaged around in his room for something of a young ladies standards. There wasn't anything good enough. He did have his mothers necklace. It was a beautiful gold colour encrusted with deep blue jewels, big and small. He had been carrying this for years since his mothers death. He was waiting for a woman with a beauty like his mothers to wear it. He was no sure that Guinevere matched his mothers beauty but he needed to give her something. He grabbed it and set off back to met Guinevere.
"I am ever so sorry to keep you waiting Lady Wineberg. I had business to take care of that could not wait, but i am here now and we may begin to eat. Oh and might i say you look just lovely tonight."
Noah wasn't too sure when the right moment was to present the gift, he thought it best to wait and see how dinner went first then give her it. He guided her to her chair and pulled it back to let her sit. It was a very large table and he did not want much to sit so far away from her so he pulled his chair closer.
" I hope you don't mind that i sit closer, I never liked these large tables. I always feel so far. There is lots to eat, don't be shy."
Noah began grabbing different things from the table and putting them on his plate and messily eating them, then he saw Guinevere's face and realized that he should probably eat nicely.

After a few minutes of a waiting, she was going to leave anyways, Noah had finally come. Her beautiful green eyes glanced at him. "Good evening, sir." She spoke calmly, greeting him back, and not to mention feeling like a purple rose that night.
She nodded and followed him into the dining room. She elegantly sat down in a lady's position at the table. "Yes," She agreed. "Indeed, I dislike these long tables as well." She spoke calmly yet clearly.
Guinevere watched him eat very un mannerly. She cleared her throat. "Ah, yes sire." She spoke as she began to eat very elegantly and formally. She just couldn't take her eyes of Noah, he looked so handsome that night.

"So Guinevere, tell me, How are you enjoying yourself tonight? I myself am finding this just perfect. Is the food to your liking ?"
Noah and Guinevere had been eating for about an hour and Noah thought this would be great a great time to present the gift to her. He stood up and pushed his chair back. From a small pouch he had sitting on his lap he pulled out the necklace and put it behind his back trying to hide it.
"Guinevere, I hope you don't mind that i brought you a little something. I do wish that you find it nice enough"
Noah brought it round from behind his back and held it in his hands in front of her. He would be extremely annoyed if she either did not like it or did not accept it as he rushed back to get it, and it was a very precious piece of jewelery. He awaited her reaction to what he was offering. The anticipation was killing him. Noah sat back down.
If she did not accept he was ready to leave. He did not stand for rejection. This was a test. If she took it then he knew they were to be married, if not then he would have some more seducing to do, Noah is a very determined man and usually gets his own way.

Guinevere watched and listened as he spoke quietly placing her fork down gesturing that she was done. "Very much, sire. I find everything quite well." She embraced a teeth-showing, elegant and posh smile. She gently and properly patted her mouth with her handkerchief.
She watched him closely as he stood up and straight away she knew that he was hiding something behind him. "Nay, sire, my dear conscience does not mind at all." Another rush of scarlet ran through her cheeks.
Her eyes sort of went wide when she discovered what he hid behind his back. She had gone slightly pale not knowing what to do. "I thank you very much sire, it is rather spectacular." It looked rather beautiful. "I do accept it." Were her final words.

Noah was overjoyed that she had accepted and stopped panicking. He held the necklace up to her as if to ask if she wanted him to out it on her. He thought maybe they should talk about his intentions toward her. Hopefully she knew already he was hoping for more than friendship.
"I am glad you have accepted, now i would like to speak with you about where our relationship goes next. You say your father is of high nobility, would he allow a romantic relationship to form between us?"
Noah could no longer wait and wanted to go straight ahead with the planning. His next step was to find out her thoughts. He smiled slightly and pulled his chair closer to hers and looked at her longingly. He was still acting rather odd. Nice. This was very unlike him. He would not be acting this nice for very long. Just until he was sure that she liked him enough for marriage. He reached out for her hands and held them on her lap.
" It is unlike me to be so forward with such a lady, but in this case i cannot help myself, you say that in a week or so you will no longer be 15. I have been thinking about this all day and i think that would be the perfect day for you to get married."
He did not say that it would be perfect for her to marry him, he was hoping that she would figure that out herself. She seemed to be rather intelligent, although people of low intelligence probably would have guessed also.

Guinevere looked into his eyes as he held her hands. She breathed in and then breathed out. "Yes, I do believe that my father is very high in nobility." She agreed, nodding. Another rush of scarlet went through her pale cheeks when he mentioned a romantic relationship. She nodded. "I believe so, my sire. I did tell him about you and he was ever so delighted."
She watched and listened as he began to speak his next set of words. She felt as if her heart had skipped a beat. "Yes by next week I will be sixteen." She agreed once more nodding at his words.
When he said the word marriage, she felt as if her heart sunk as she blushed once more. "Yes I do agree, a perfect time for marriage." But then it striked her. She now figured out. He wanted to marry her. She glanced down at her hands that he was holding and then glanced up.
"If you are asking me to marry you," She began her words. "Then that marriage shall proceed to it's transactions on the day I turn sixteen years old, my sire." She embraced a smile, accepting his hand in mariage.

Noah knew that she would say yes, how could she not. He had made the perfect atmosphere and asked her so delicately. He took his hands back to his own lap and rested them there, relieved that he could finally relax. Delighted, that is better than expected. Her father was more than happy for them to marry. Nothing could go wrong now.
"I am overjoyed to hear it!, It will be the perfect wedding. You shall have the most exquisite dress and shall receive the biggest jewel encrusted ring i can buy."
He was going a bit over the top at this point and decided to tone it down a bit. He stood up and walked to the window closest to him. He looked out and saw some guards peering in. He shouted as loud as he could
" Can i have no peace in the god forsaken castle!"
He sighed loudly as they ran away. He ran he fingers through his short hair then turned around and began to say his goodbyes for the night.
" Okay Guinevere. It feel it is time to leave each other for the night"
Noah was feeling suddenly stressed and wanted to get away as soon as possible so he said his goodbye then ran off leaving Guinevere standing alone in the dining room.
