Re: Where phantasie and fun meet!
Girls, I've done it! Puh! Please forgive my mistakes - I'm not soo good in English.  I've used bold for dialogues and cursive for feelings and thoughts.
Alright, let's have fun! 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lady Luinarys puts her head through the open window of her coach. It was a windy afternoon. Big grey clouds cover the sky, rain would start in some minutes.
The face expression of the young lady shows her mood: she was bored of the long travel to the king court, which lies high in the Banaty mountains.
”When will we arrive at the royal court, coachman?” She seems to be very impatient.
The old coachman turns round to his mistress.
”Maybe an hour or two, my lady. We’ll arrive the royal castle before sunset.”
Lady Luinarys retreats into the cabin. She sighs softly. The journey is too exhausting. I should relax a little bit – the feast will be awesome, I’m sure. I’ll see all knights and their ladies … and king Erictor!
She closes the eyes and remembers, how she has seen the young king for the first time at a tourney on her uncle’s court. It seems as if it was hundreds of years ago, but only three years were past since king Erictor won the price of Earl Hartmur of Sanderstone. He was the best warrior, the most noble knight, I’ve ever seen.
But the highborn king was far away for the young baron’s daughter. That’s why another knight attracted her attention.
She has met knight Arthur, son of a foreign nobleman, a year before, when he was in service of a foreign power, which has left the kingdom. Their first meeting was at the wedding of her cousine Elizabeth of Deserthall with Count Steffon, when Luinarys has helped her kinswoman with the dress. Knight Arthur was polite and gallant, but she payed no attention to him, whereas Arthur felt in love with the young lady from that moment.
Later at the feast, he has asked for a dance, and they had a small talk together. But all the time, Luinarys thought of an other man, she admired. He was a musician of a foreign country in the north, called ‘Viggorn, the lost king’, a famous singer and painter, but not coequal to her, unfortunately. Viggorn played some gorgeous songs for the married couple, but left the feast early and was never seen again in the kingdom. Where might he live, wise Viggorn?
After the wedding, king Erictor summoned his brave knights to fight an important battle in the north of the kingdom against an army of invaders. Arthur decided to follow him although he belonged to another ruler. All other brave knights had to leave their families to follow their king.
Arthur begged Luinarys to keep a beautiful ring as memory of him in case he would not return from war. Half-heartedly the young lady preserved the piece of jewelry, always thinking of the missing singer.
The war against the invaders took more than a year. Many battles had to be fought and a great many warriors lost their lives, even Luinary’s only brother. Arthur fought bravely and after some time, the lords heared about his famous doings. More often, Luinarys had to think about him, his gallant behaviour, his gorgeous, strong looking.
After the war was won, Arthur followed king Erictor to his royal court to serve his liege – no word to the baron’s daughter. Luinarys was confused and sad, because she didn’t know if Arthur kept her in mind.
At that time, her lord father made future (wedding) plans for his elder daughter, but Luinarys didn’t want to hear about it; she decided to visit a good friend of her – lady Julie in the far South of the kingdom. It was such an awesome time with Julie. We talked together – even in the middle of the night and had lots of fun! Lady Luinarys had to smile while thinking about that time.
She spent some months at Rio Castle, when there came lore of a great tourney in honor for the king and his loyal knights at Sanderstone palace. Both ladies didn’t delay any second, but travelled to the court of Luinary’s uncle at once. And then … everything came up roses.
Luinarys smiles happily. I’ve seen the most gorgeous man in the world … and lost my heart to his best warrior, to a hero of the kingdom.
She looks through the window outside. And now, Briseis is one year old!
Helen, the court lady, looks carefully at her mistress. You need a rest, my lady. Try to sleep, the feast will be exertive!
Luinarys glances at Helen. I can scarcely expect to arrive at the king’s court. To see king Erictor again. And all my good friends!
Yes, and to be conjunct with Steward Arthur! A short, reproachful look from Helen.
Of course, I’m happy to meet my lord husband, Helen! Luinarys blushes. He stayed with the king since four months … a long time. He’ll be disappointed that I’ve left his daughter at home. But a tourney is not the right place for a babe.
Maybe may daughter and I, we’ll leave Chasalla to stay with the steward the whole year … This would be so great … to be near to king Erictor all the time … to live at his royal court … to take part of many court balls and feasts.
But Luinarys knows that this would only be a dream. Arthur has the opinion that his wife and daughter belong to his home castle, to have a ‘normal’, well sheltered live. So boring! She folds the arms defiantly. Why can’t he understand, that his wife wishes to be with him all the time? She sighs sadly. Maybe I can plead with him … perhaps, Julie and Tina will help me!
The next hour, the steward’s wife sleeps and dreams of … the most admirable man of the world.
Before twilight, the coach reaches the exterior castle walls and then … lady Luinarys Excalibow of Chassalla, wife of Arthur, noble steward and knight of great king Erictor, arrives at the kings court.

Re: Where phantasie and fun meet!
Thanks for the compliments, my dears!  It wasn't easy to write it, but I had ots of fun! And I'm sure, your story will be as well as mine, dear Tina! But I've written it in English at once, because the translation needs too much time, imho!
Our ladies could meet each other at the court, when lui arrives. But I don't know, where the other ladies are ... so let's see what you will write!
Now, it's your turn, dear julie! Hopefully, you like "Rio Castle" as your home palace.
I made only some indications and hints of the past to have enough 'place' for you and your stories!
(Btw: "Chasalla" is the ancient name for my hometown Kassel Funny, uh?)
