The girl is blubbing, I need to get a....

*The maid freezes as she sees Vortigern and Philomena's passionate embrace. She turns on her heels*

Oh my... Vortigern! The maid... she has seen everything.

*Philomena leaps up and pulls the reluctant maid back into the room. She looks at Vortigern, her beautiful face full of fear.*

We were so stupid and careless... What should we do? If she spreads this around, you will be executed.

*She puts her hands protectively on her stomach*

I don't want to think what Darl would do to us when...

*The mermaid trembles and puts her hand to her mouth*

I feel sick.

Please... Please.... I saw nothing... I'll say nothing.

*She falls on her knees and sobs. The maid looks up at Vortigern as he pulls on his clothes and advances on her*

Please don't kill me.... please...

Kill you... you are just a child and Vortigern is no cold blooded murderer.

*She shakes her head and looks at Vortigern*

Are you, Vortigern? Vortigern...

* Philomena looks dizzy and pale, she shakily sits down*

What shall we do?

*Vortigern looks down at the serving maid as he laces up his black leather tunic*.

We've already made an agreement haven't we Sousie?

*He frowns*.

Already offered you a better life.... Under Darl Thranmere you'd not have that.... And this is not his castle anyway, by rights it belongs to the Rackham family... And any of his offspring....

*Vortigern puts on his trousers and slides his feet into his boots*.

Your loyalty is to the Princess, as is mine.... Take care when you make up your mind... You're in no danger....

*He smiles at the Princess*.

And you're right, I don't kill unless I have to...

*Vortigern shakes his head and looks back at Sousie and sighs*.

And I don't think I have to this night..... Do I?....

Yes... yes... please believe me Princess.

*She remains kneeling*

I'd never do you or Master Jett harm...

I do not know if we can trust this girl with this...

*She looks at Vortigern and nods*

But I trust you, Vort... The girl cannot be allowed back to the kitchens though, she will have to stay here where we can keep an eye on her.

*The Princess looks down at the sobbing girl.*

I need a maid anyway. Sit up at the table and drink some water until you recover yourself. Sousie, is it? You must forget everything you saw.

*Philomena looks at Vortigern sadly*

I thought Lord Rackham had no children, but if you know of any rightful heirs then I shall see Stormrock is returned to them when Darl takes me back to Kanara.

*She still looks pale*

And now I think I need to vomit...

*She hurries to the bathroom*

*The girl is still shaking as she sits up at the table obediently. She tries to drink the water but her hand trembles too much. She watches Vortigern*

Master Jett... you know... you know I will always be loyal to you? You are the only nobleman who has ever been kind to me here... I don't know why you bother, I am not important to nobody.

*She sniffs*

I forgot to ask you... is that handsome blonde knight supposed to be in Princess Philomena's dressing room? He is wearing the same clothes as you so I wondered if he was another bodyguard.

My clothes..... I guess he's wearing those... That boy won't fill them out...

*He frowns and grits his teeth*.

Who is he? No one of any consequence. Call him a nobleman if you like.... He's worthy of that title, I'm not...

*He speaks resentfully to Sousie*.

I didn't want that in the past and I don't want that now....

*Vortigern sits down and pours himself a glass of wine*.

I used to hunt and kill men for money....

*He chuckles under his breath*.

I think you'll find as you get older that there are very few noble men anywhere...

*Vortigern looks at his reflection in the wine glass*.

There was a time when I'd just drink out of the bottle, and it'd be stronger stuff than this... I could with stronger stuff....

*He sighs and looks across the table at Sousie*.

You'll come to no harm... You have my word.... It's.... Worth something....

*He looks at Sousie's shaking hand and speaks softly to her*.

Don't fear me.... No need.....

No need to fear... If the Princess had asked you to kill me you would have strangled me then and there... I am not that ignorant, I have seen much behind these castle walls. You would kill and die for her, I saw the way you looked at her .

*She smiles at Vortigern nervously and sips the water*

It was just a bit of a shock... then I realised that the baby might be... well I would understand you wanting me to take that to the grave. I would never say nothing though.

*Sousie reaches out and tales his hand.*

You protect our Princess, what could be more noble than that? Besides you are no servant and no knight, you are a man of importance.... What am I to call if not a nobleman? I am sure that if you wished the Princess would give you that status... So this young nobleman, am I to serve him too? What relationship does he have with the Princess? Is he a friend, a relative or a servant?

*The girl looks at him with big eyes and shrinks back*

Hunt and kill men for money... that doesn't sound a nice job. I hope you won't kill me.
