Chapter 2
Summary: You are reunited with your dear Sweet Osferth.
{Authors Note: Bold = Flashback}
Your fingers traced down the torn tapestries down the narrow hallway, they were once a focal point but now a ruined reminder of a once glorious court. You continued down the hallway, leading to the throne roomWhich you had scarcely recognized - under Haestens illegitimate rule he had altered the decor tone more insulting to your parents memory. Only one chair sat in the centre, where once there stood two- one of the king and one for the queen. Nevertheless as you approached the lone wooden throne you remembered the last conversation you had with your parents in this room- It conceded your status as heir and who should rule with you as King.
“Is this what you want my girl? Truly?”
You nodded “Yes Father, Majesty.”
Your father briefly looked at your mother who stood by his side, both embodying the perfect image of a harmonious king and queen. You father was imposing to strangers, a strong build with a thick grey beard - but you knew his gentle demeanor from childhood- he was a just ruler and a formidable fighter. Your mother cast the very essence of elegance, golden hair that stretched to her lower back, eyes as bountiful as the rarest jewels and a humble gracious lady to all who knew her.
As they smiled your stomach did a back flip, your father got to his feet and approached you slowly . Holding his hands out , you nervously took them.
He chuckled “My dear…I could not be more delighted at this…Osferth is a good man.”
You beamed “You support this? Mother you too?”
Your mother nodded “My dear you and Osferth are meant to be….” She smiled “Like two sides of a coin my dear…you need each other.”
You heart was racing . Soaring with happiness - words seemed to have failed you.
“We will formally announce the betrothal tomorrow and you will both wed next spring. A great feast tomorrow evening…it will be wonderful!”
You embraced your father, as his heir you expected him to be more strict in your choice of future consort. But who could deny you Osferth?
He let go of you and kissed your forehead “Go find him…tell him and the four of us will dine in the morrow. But Y/N” he warned as you looked up at him “Back here by supper…”
You nodded “Of course father.” You dipped a curtesy to them and left the throne room practically skipping.
Your mothers brows frowned a moment , you father caught this sight
“Haesten will not like this Harald” She whispered
“Haesten be dammed My love….it’s not his throne.” Harald said
Her worry did not leave, Harald stood in front of her “Cecily….all will be well.” He said reassuringly .
“Do you think she will be happy Harald?” She asked
Harald embraced his doting Queen “Aye…As happy as we are god willing.” He said with a smile .
You closed your eyes briefly as the memory fades from your mind, you noticed your squire hovering around “Henry?” You asked
He stepped forward “Yes my queen?”
“Will you ask the builder of the keep come to me later? I wish to discuss something with him of great importance.” You asked politely .
He nodded “At once majesty.” He said before leaving you alone.
You turned to the door by the grand spiral staircase
opening the small door and finding yourself to the maze garden , practically sheltered by the skeletons of the trees draped in snow , you wrapped your cloak over your shoulders as the cool air hit your skin.
You turned quickly around, following the snow capped hedges until you stopped to approach the cold pillars, suddenly you froze- you were nervous. The memory of your last encounter with Osferth was overwhelming, five years was a long time to go without the sweetest man you had known.
“What is it?” Osferth asked watching you pace around the circular room you both sat in.you had both met in the princes tower of the castle, it was the tallest and the place you often met with Osferth.
“I do not know…I’m just out of sorts…” you sighed
He smiled “How adorable you are when your nervous…”
You looked at him , his cheeky teenage smile Was too much for you. You and Osferth had grown up together, often getting into mischief as children, at first it annoyed your father- he would claim Osferth was a bad influence , yet it was quite the opposite However you remained inseparable and both were so devoted to each other.
“Your not helping Osferth…”
He rested his hands on his knees as he watched you “Forgive me…I’m just surprised your father accepted…he still blames me for that apple orchid incident …that was your fault .” He said with a slight smirk
You managed a small smile “ As I recall we managed to abscond with the apples and the dog did not mangle or maim us.”
He nodded “True…but the time you stole jam from the cook that was your own sin.” He grinned again.
You chuckled, how often you both got up to mischief and you did not regret one episode of it.
“Having second thoughts?” He asked
You stopped and resumed to looked into his eyes “My dear no…never…I am so ecstatic that my parents said yes.”
“They will announce our betrothal formally tomorrow …?” he asked
You nodded “They will yes…and we will be betrothed for a year and marry next spring…” you smiled “They want us …you and me to have food in the morn so we can talk…” you said with hope.
He inhaled slightly with a slightly nervous look “My lady you are …”
You sat opposite him “What is it…?”
He looked incredibly uneasy, afraid almost . He looked up at you nervously
“You are the heir….princes and lords would throw themselves at you and are …more equipped to rule…” he said softly
You leaned forward “Your point Osferth?”
He paused, pouting for a moment “You picked me…a bastard and a monk…..”
You leaned forward closer and clasped his hands in yours. Osferth May yes be the discarded bastard of a king from the south and did grow up taught by the church under your fathers patronage , but he was much more than the labels he just expressed. Your parents could see how much you were to each other and they encouraged you to spend more time together. “My sweet monk…I would not wish for anybody else to be by my side….”
He looked at you gentle “Why though….?”
“You know why….I lo-“
You were cut off by the alarming sound of the horn ringing through the castle, you both looked up at the window . Osferth got to his feet, breaking his hands away and looked out the window to see the danger approaching “dear lord….” He gasped
You also rose to your feet “What is it?”
He looked at you with fear “An Army…it’s Haesten…”
You gasped “No…I must get to mother and father.”
Osferth held your arms in his hands “My lady stay here….you are too precious to go and fight …we loose and all is lost…”
You held onto his arm looking deep into his blue eyes “I loose you and I will be lost…” you whispered
He leant in and kissed you , before pulling you into him tightly against his chest and kissing your forehead quickly “I will return….I promise…” he said kissing you softly one more time. He paused before picking up his sword, removing his silver chain that had a silver cross hanging from it. He placed it in your trembling hands
Your eyes widened in shock “Osferth you need this!” You said , before going to the door he looked at you “You can return it to me when we have won my lady.”
He smiled lightly before leaving the room, closing the door firmly as you stood there with the chain laced between your fingers.
That was the last time you saw him, five years ago on the night everything changed for your lives.
Now you were going to see him again, what if he had become someone so different you reunited with a stranger? Or he had grown to love another? Your heart flushed with a nervous beat as you turned another corner. There he stood. Facing the broken stone wall, his cloak sheltering him from the cold snow that began to fall, you only moved your foot an inch - snapping a fragile twig in the process, he turned around slowly and you gasped.
He was so similar to when you first met, his hair more ruffled yet still that shade of dirty blonde that was recognizable. His sharp jawline and fine features had grown, a few minor cuts sat on his cheekbone and a bruise had formed on his- his bottom lip with a deep cut starting to heal. His sea blue eyes met with yours and he only exhaled in relief “Y/N….”
You could not hold back the flood of emotions that had gripped you for so long, you both practically leapt at each other - embracing so tightly and so fiercely you were sure bones would break. He felt yourself
starting to sob against his chest, he shuffled slightly so his cloak was now enveloping you both closer together. You looked up at him , eyes running with tears
“I’m so sorry …I am so very sorry Osferth I did not -“ he held you tighter against him, quietly he whispered
“Shhh….all is well.” He learned his head against your head, you felt immediately reassured when he lifted your chin with his finger and smiled at you. He had grown even more handsome in the last five years, his hair very messy but roguish on him.
“You are so beautiful….look at you…” he said - brushing the snow away from your hair and his thumb gently stroked aside the tears that were stuck at the base of your jaw.
Your own hands moved up to hold his face in your hands , he was so handsome and remarkably , still had that affectionate glimmer dance in his eyes when he looked at you now- the same one he had when you were teens …when you were forced apart.
“Oh my sweet girl…what you have you endured these past five years…” he began
You shook your head and looked at him
“Osferth were you hurt at all? Uhtred said he found you in a prison by the coast…”
He nodded “Haesten intended to ship me off as a thrall to Norway. Cannot tell you how pleased I was to see Uhtred release us…even more pleased when he told me you were alive and had taken back this castle .”
“I would have come after you Osferth…to the end of this world.” You said
He traced his finger along the side of your face “Does this mean….you still…?” He whispered
You nodded with a tear escaping your eye “More than anything…” your hand left his face and he watched you as you fiddled in your tunic, you held the necklace with the cross pendant on it
He looked surprised, also like a man who’s breath had been taken away he smiled “You kept it…”
“Of course I did….” You answered.
He tilted your head back a little and within precious seconds his lips met yours, gods the feeling was so warming and so familiar- you had waited five years for this moment and you savored every second- you returned the kiss with a hunger that kept you going all those years away from him- he was a driving force that motivated you and
Now you were reunited .
He lightly kissed your chin “You still want us to wed?” He asked grinning
“I do….my parents wished it….they allowed it …the announcement was ….” You trailed off, that night should have ended in happy excitement but instead turned to tragedy-Osferth could see the pain as your head bowed and your eyes closed remembering the screams and the flames. He gently lifted your chin searching your eyes once they opened
“You still would not prefer a Prince or a Lord?” He asked shyly .
You shook your head “I want to marry my baby monk.” You smiled. The nickname you bestowed on him when you first met still made him smile warmly.
He relented his thoughts with a smirk that makes your heart flip, he leant in to you- wrapping his arm around your shoulders and bringing you into the sweetest of kisses. The snow began to heavily fall around you, showering you both but you both did not cae- the beautiful yet harsh winter weather would not dampen or end this reunion.
