Synopsis: A squire in the Renaissance Faire circuit sees and then becomes enamored of a lady knight and from the first time he sees her, the quest to win her hand is on. He does everything in his power to win her over but begins to realize it’s a losing battle, until one day he runs into her almost on the eve of her wedding.
The squire had his armor polished that day to a mirror finish. He had spent the entire night before working on repairing the joints in his vambraces, making sure all the brass work was clean and the rivets fixed. He had hammered each one into place himself; he was not leaving the repair of his kit to an armor master, this was something he wanted to do himself. His helm was of fine Milanese make and he was very proud of it. This was his best one and he wanted to look good for the tournament today.
After walking out of his pavilion, he went in search of his knight. It was the squire’s fondest hope that when the day he was knighted he would have the man who had taught him everything about the chivalric arts deliver the accolade. He tightened his red belt as he walked among the merchants who had set-up shop near the tournament field.
He’d made sure the belt, made of the finest leather his knight could afford, had been cleaned the day before. Not his belt, he corrected himself, his knight’s belt, one which had been given to him to show he might be worthy someday of taking the gift from the king and becoming a member of the chivalry. But that day was in the future and right now he had to attend to his knight. It was something that was expected of all squires.
He greeted a few other squires on his way to the knight’s pavilion. There were so many showing up for today’s tournament. He felt his skill with the sword and shield could best most of them, but there were a few who outshone his abilities. He didn’t care, his ability had improved greatly over the past few years and he would soon wear the white chivalric belt if he continued to work hard and progress.
Even the king had complimented him the last time he’d seen the squire. It was going to be a good day, he knew it.
His armor jangled away as the he made his way to his knight’s location. The squire had arrived too late and was not able to pitch his pavilion next to his knight’s, but it was not going to be a problem. He wasn’t that far away and cold easily help him out. Right now his knight was going to need help getting into his armor and would need the help of his squires too. He could do it himself if he needed, but it was a poor reflection for the squires to let a knight do it himself.
The squire strolled into his knight’s camp and greeted his fellow squires. Then he saw his knight being helped by one of the younger squires with his helm, so he immediately went over to do what he could. His knight, a man in his thirties who had fought in many campaigns over the years, looked at
