Days passed until the day came for the seramony. Her father esscorted her to the court house and sat in the section for family. Victoria would soon see her Gairdian that would protect her and watch over her for the rest of her life. The man that the town would match her up with. The man of her dreams. Or she hoped would be.
The precher walked in and assomed his position for the seramony. The bell rang anouncing that it was mid-day, and the seramony started.
"Victoria of the town.", began the priest. "The council has watched you grow from a darling child into a beautiful young woman. Now this day on your fifthteenth birthday we have choosen a guardian for you like all women shall recive. Before we call him in, do you have anything to say?" This was her que.
"Yes I do sir. I first would like to adress the council. I shall honor your desison and gladly except who youve chosen with out question. Secondly, my family, I thank you for all you have taought me in my life that made me who I am today. Finally, my father. You have always been there for me and I love you with all my heart. I hope we will always have this bond we share." Her fater mouthed back "Me too..." back to her.
After the applause the priest cleared his throat. "I will now clear the room so you and your guardian may meet,, and in five minutes. We will return to finish the seramony."
With the sound of the bell her rang, Victoria's heart began to race. She waved to her father as he left the room. The crowd couldn't leave fast enough, and were leaving too fast. She almost fainted until the priest said, "He shall come in ather I leave the room. Good luck."
All she could do was node. The priest left the room and for a slight second all the silence was realy soothing. It calmed her. She closed herr eyes and took a deep breath. The silence was broken by the sound of footsteps on the wooden floor. She opened her eyes and, for the first time, saw the gardian the town choose.
She was sweeped away with his beauty. Golden-brown hair, deep blue eyes, muscular, tall, and had the dreamiest white teeth you have ever seen. By his clothes She could tell he was poor but she didn't care. That just ment, by law, that the poorest had to move in with the richest. She started to feel dizzy as he got closer and closer, and actually fainted this time.
When she came to, she was in his arms. His exprestion was conserned and amused at the same time.
"Did I just faint?" was all that came to her mind.
"Yea, and something is telling me that I am going to have my hand full with you." He chuckled. Man, he had a dreamy voise too. "My name is Stephen. And you must be Victoria." He said with a bow. "It's my plesure to be your guardian."
She blushed "Oh the pleasures all mine."
the rest is history but the begining of a wonderful adventure with the man she never knew whould fall in love with her faster than she would ever know. And along the way make some improtant allies that will soon be her best friends.
