She met him as a child, he raised her like his daughter...until she fall in love with him. She was the princess of a kingdom, betrothed to another strong king. He was a young priest, swore to only love god and never touch or even think about any woman. 
 Will he be able to resist that love and temptation, and stop himself from doing the greatest sin? Did she ever get the love she wanted? Or will she be trapped in a loveless marriage? 
And will society ever let them two together or the pure love will be treated as a sin?

I chuckled hearing his answer, he was talking like a possessed man, without any emotion. I already knew I was going to get rejected by him, but still, I tried...
He is a priest after all and had years of experience in resisting seduction. What was I even thinking when I decided to tell him my feelings? 
“ Sure Father, I won't get late”, I replied and turned around as I get the worst idea of my life. I can't be more shameless, can I? It's all worth it though...for him, I have no shame. 
My heart was pounding, and my whole body was shivering because of fear. Was I really going to do this? Hell, yes. 
The soft silk gown fell from my body when I removed it. My long golden-brown hair was hiding my back but still, it was outrageous to stand naked in front of another man, and it was even more sinful if that man is your father!
I saw his lascivious gaze when I turned around after sitting in the bathtub. The rose petals were hiding my body, but my bare shoulder was still visible. 
It wasn't even allowed for me to reveal my full face to anyone, but here I am, naked in front of a priest.


Worship and Desire

After wasting all night thinking about a way to kidnap my Father, I realised there was only one person who actually stood a chance against someone like Father Nicholas...his son, Micheletto. There were not many warriors who fought with two swords even with closed eyes, and Father Nicholas was one of them, he taught Micheletto and me too, Micheletto learned to fight with two swords and I on the other hand only learned to fight with closed eyes. So, it might take both of us to abduct a big bull like Father Nicholas. 


But I was obviously not that foolish to set a foot on English soil, I didn't want to die this soon, Micheletto can easily go there, he is also a sassenach after all; never going to say that in front of him. Apart from that, it had to be as discreet as possible, didn't want to alarm the entire English army that the potential heir to the throne was kidnapped by the order of an evil Scottish queen; that's what they called me there.
