Rhaenys gave him a thankful gaze before trotting away with her brother behind.

He watched them go with a small sigh before leading the horse back to the stables. A few minutes later going to Rhaenys home to speak to her father.

Rhaenys and her brother arrived shortly before Vladomir did. Rhaenys and her father were now sat outside on a patio watching her brother try to break a horse in.

**BestNameEva** Wed 25 Dec - 0:34

Vladomir ducked his head quietly in greeting as he approached them, asking Rhaensy father a simple, "May we talk in private? I have a serious matter I need to discuss with you."

Phoenix Wed 25 Dec - 0:37

Her father frowned a little and nodded, heading inside.

**BestNameEva** Wed 25 Dec - 0:39

Vladomir briefly met Rhaenys gaze as he walked past her, following her father inside and asking, "Would you prefer we begin with general conversation or would you rather I get straight to the point?"

Phoenix Wed 25 Dec - 0:41

"Well since you've taken me from my family, get to the point sir."

Shifting his weight around he settled back against the pillows on the bed and looked at her seriously. "Have you?"

**BestNameEva** Wed 25 Dec - 0:46

"I would like to politely ask you to cancel the contract that has been made with this man in concerns to whom the lady Rhaenys is to marry and to request if I could instead be her suitor. I am not lacking in the wealth side, I am not a complete stranger not am I from out of town. Your family may have a share in my business too, if you do so request it."

Sence nodded.

"The contract with Lord Baker has been made and set. Rhaenys is to marry him a week today. I'd apologise but you've had your fair chance of opportunities to be her suitor. Lord Baker is an excellent match for her, and moving her up into the mountains may do her some good, teach her not to be so soft towards the peasants who would happily kill her if they knew her true species. He is accepting of the dowry she comes with, is more than twice her age so he matches her in nature, and he already has sons so she is like to be with child soon after their marriage, since he is capable. With all being said, good day Lord Winters." He bowed his head and turned to leave.

"I don't know what to do know Sen, my father dealt with most everything. I have a lot to decide now".

**BestNameEva** Wed 25 Dec - 0:55

"You have not once approached and offered her to me, so that is where you are wrong but, all of the same, what would you like me to give for you to cancel the contract. I'd give you anything you request."

"Such as?" Sence asked softly.

Phoenix Wed 25 Dec - 0:58

"Reasons why I should cancel it. Why do you want to court and marry my daughter?"

SpiritWolfe Wed 25 Dec - 1:00

"Well for one do I keep my home or move into a smaller one?"

Vampire-Apprentice Wed 25 Dec - 1:07

"You showed none to her at all."

**BestNameEva** Wed 25 Dec - 11:08

"I care for her and her happiness, her best interests. Her dignity and family name." He listed, adding, "I needn't go into any more depth than that, do I?"

Sence frowned at that and shrugged.

He shrugged.

Phoenix Wed 25 Dec - 11:43

"Why? As far as I am aware you and my daughter have had no interaction. My daughter has met Lord Baker and is keen to marry him."

**BestNameEva** Wed 25 Dec - 12:11

"Just yesterday I helped your daughter muck out stables, it was disgusting but none the less I helped. Before that we have spoken many times." Vladomir assured.

Vampire-Apprentice Wed 25 Dec - 12:17

She sighed. "She likes you, and you are the first in years, she needs to know who her friends are okay?"

**BestNameEva** Wed 25 Dec - 12:18

"I've done nothing wrong, do not lecture me." Dragomir replied sharply.

Phoenix Wed 25 Dec - 12:26

"You were alone with y daughter without my knowing?!"

**BestNameEva** Wed 25 Dec - 12:43

Vladomir grimaced and shook his head, whispering, "I do apologise, I thought you were aware."

Phoenix Wed 25 Dec - 12:49

He fumed silently before suddenly shaking his head. "I see what happened? You've been alone with my daughter and , taken her innocence and now you've tried her you want to buy her…" he sighed. "Well I suppose if you've tainted her I must let you marry in case…"

**BestNameEva** Wed 25 Dec - 13:03

Vladomir went to deny the claim though at his final sentence he whispered, "Thank you, I do sincerely apologise. Your daughter is an attractive woman, and I know I should not have taken anything from her but I am hoping this will account for it in some way. If you require any money or free pure bred horses than simply say the word and I will provide."

Phoenix Wed 25 Dec - 13:07

"We will discuss the terms later, but I assure you they will not be cheap. For now I must go speak with lord Baker and hope he will accept my apologies. You are to stay away from my daughter in the meantime, and I want the wedding to go ahead as soon as possible like it was already planned."
