The Princess’ Protector

A Royal Romance

Chapter 1 by Merthyr Merthyr

Meet the protagonists of our story, Sir Arnvald Lynnrey, Royal Protector to the Princess and the greatest swordsman in the Realm, and Princess Irulan Ajoun, the heir to Kaylarth and the only child of the King and Queen.

Sir Arnvald, the second son of the noble House of Lynnrey, is one of the greatest swordsmen who ever lived, despite his young age. He is masterfully skilled with a lance as well as swords, though he is more comfortable armoured with his greatsword in his gauntleted hands. He wields the legendary blade known as Bloodscar. The weapon is unlike any other, steel of an unimaginable quality, enamelled crimson. It takes two hands to wield, though many lesser men cannot use the blade to its full capabilities. Arnvald is no lesser man, however, standing at 6 feet 11 inches tall, with broad shoulders and a muscular body. He is most commonly seen wearing full plate armour, with Bloodscar in his hands or strapped to his back. His hair is jet black, and his brown eyes are so dark they might as well be black. He is ruggedly handsome, but he possesses a long scar from the corner of his left eye to part way down his cheek. He is a man of few words, preferring to speak with his blade or stand guard.

Princess Irulan is extremely beautiful, and is often the subject of many marriage proposals, all of which are rejected by the princess herself. She possesses soft, honey coloured hair so long it reaches past her back. Her eyes are a deep, piercing blue colour. She is kind and outgoing, the opposite of her protector. She is far more intelligent than most give her credit for, Irulan has read most of the books in the royal library. Irulan loves to ride horses and visit all the parts of Kaylarth she can find, with or without her father’s approval. She is excellent in the royal court, knowing how to speak properly, to both make an argument and please others with her words.

The two fall in love, that much is certain, but how is whole other matter. And what happens after that point, after their romance begins, that too is up for debate. Let the story begin.
