A letter

I looked down and seeing the letter watched the Templar guards walk away, “Dear Damien,

I need your assistance, I stumbled across an fugitive in many ways, a nobleman and wife. Despite what we think of these snobs we can’t be like the others, forgive and move on I say! I will owe you again!!! Maybe this time some wine with my body! I just remember the last time we made passionate love...I didn’t have much to offer but you took your share, I only hope that you want me like before!

Yours,

Méricourt”

My mouth fell open and studying the letter I heard the middle aged woman who was storing more food into the crates say, “Another erotic letter from Méricourt I assume!” I nodded before smiling said, “Always the romantic type, I can’t believe a woman of her character writes such a thing!” I nodded before shrugging I commented, “Oh well, there isn’t anything stopping me and you having some fun!” she slapped me before growling, “For the last time no! You want me, marriage only and only for children...we have work to do!” I rolled my eyes before nodding waited for her a woman in old rags to ask, “Please sir o you have turnips for my cat!” I raised my eyebrow and feeling a nudge from the woman saw the two other characters stand behind her, “I will have to look in the back, why don’t you help me!” they smiled and throwing me into the back heard them close the door and remove their disguises, “This is Arno and the fugitive is Elise wanted by both the Templar’s and Assassin’s!” “What on earth have you done to get both on your back?” she looked at me before saying, “I am open to working with the Assassin’s in a more moderate manner the others don’t like it!” I nodded before saying, “Well if you are here, you work got it! I have enough problems as it is... Théroigne wants me as her lover, assassin’s annoyed at my trading with Templar’s and passing most of the time false information, the Templar’s are annoyed because I help the assassin’s and feed the poor, Méricourt is a horny lover, Théroigne wants me at hers tonight for more fun, Abigail outside won’t say yes to my advances and now I have a attractive Redhead called Elise who is on the run and her husband Arno!” Élise glared at me then Méricourt who simply said, “I had to tell him something!” I rolled my eyes before saying, “I need to get drunk!” Méricourt smiled before saying, “Don’t worry I will make it up to you!” I nodded before looking at the two strangers said, “Right get your clothes off...well Elise anyway! Arno can change in the next room!” and earning a slap off Méricourt smirked, “I’m joking apparently! Go and get change in the next room. Oh yes...we are common folk...remember that!! Don’t talk posh, do the demeaning jobs unless it’s you Elise I can find a nice place for you in my bed next to the others!” she went to slap me raising my hand up said, “See...get used to this... if they aren’t moaning about being hungry; they talk about Sex, who they like to bed, fighting, making crude jokes or getting drunk...remember that, also walk with a slump you are meant to be hungry and cover your red hair it’s a give away. Arno you will help load the crates on the carts and transport them to the locations. Make sure everyone gets a equal share! Go!” he rolled his eyes before leaving I stood there staring at Elise, “What about me?” I went to suggest something but earning a slap from Méricourt and now Abigail I heard her laugh, “I don’t mind it honestly...it’s a change from hearing all this rubbish about balls, Templar business and politics!” I smiled before going to suggest an idea was again met by Abigail, “No you can’t have a mistress...you aren’t royal enough and no a nude maid isn’t a job!” I went to speak but being cut off by Méricourt this time heard, “No a human bath duck isn’t an career or a topless dancer and bed warmer!” I interrupted before them before saying, “Will let me speak? I was going to say she can help with “accounting” and help protect the area...we always complain about not having enough protection!” Abigail nodded before commenting, “You surprised me there” and nodding I said, “I always do! Now about tonight!” she glared at me causing me to say, “Abigail I mean Théroigne...I need a way out of this and it needs to be good!”
