Renaissance story. by: Me.
Chapter 1
In the land of Yorkshire, there lived many a people. A great land was Yorkshire. Filled with good people who were very friendly. There was a royal family, which was especially friendly, atleast half of it was. The Queen, Elizabeth Regina Glorianna, had six daughters. Their names were Rose, Daisy, Merily, Lillian, Danielle, and Fauna. Daisy and Meri were twins and always hung around their little sister, Rose. Lillian, Danielle, and Fauna never liked their little sisters.
They had a plan to get Rose, Meri, and Daisy into trouble. But they always ended up getting themselves into trouble. The girls’ nanny, Lady Lettice always kept an eye out for the older ones. She was the one who caught Lillian, Danielle, and Fauna in the act of a foolish prank.
When it came time to rest for the night, Daisy, Meri, and Rose were always told stories, each and every night before they fell asleep. The one who told them these stories was Lady Agatha Ragworth. She was the girls' other nanny. Lady Agatha, and Lady Lettice were the sweetest of women in the entire "Shire". They adored little children. Especially the Queen's children.
One day Lady Agatha did not come for the usual time to tell Daisy, Rose, and Meri a story. The girls sat in their room confused. They thought, "Maybe she's talking to someone and it was important to tell her." They waited five minutes more. The time passed, Lady Agatha still did not come, and they started to worry. The three girls decided to go downstairs and ask their mother where Lady Agatha had gone.
Once at throne room, they saw Lady Agatha weeping at the altar. They walked up to her and asked, " Lady Agatha. Why for are you crying?" She looked up at the girls and said she was going to be put to trial out of town. They looked at her with tears in their eyes. They said, "We will demand your freedom, Lady Agatha." She looked at them smiling and replied, " Thank you girls, but they would not allow it. Now let us get you back to bed."
As they were about to walk upstairs the doors to the throne room, burst open. Lady Agatha, Daisy, Meri, and Rose turned to see who came in. The Shire sheriff was the one who came in through the doors. Dominae Tryst yelled for Lady Agatha. She said, "Lady Agatha Ragworth. You are under arrest for stealing!"
Queen Elizabeth came running in from another room to see what all the ruckus was about. Daisy, Meri, and Rose ran to her and said, "Mother. They are arresting Lady Agatha for a crime she did not commit."
Dominae Tryst heard that, and interrupted, "Your Majesty, I see Lady Agatha has brainwashed your young ones. She has committed a crime. And now just committed another."
"Pray tell, Dominae," Queen Elizabeth started, "What are these crimes she committed?"
"Well," she replied, "one was stealing from the household of William Wallace. The other is lying to your children. Your older daughters said they had witnessed the robbery."
Queen Elizabeth rushed upstairs to where Danielle, Fauna, and Lillian slept. Once there, she heard them laughing about what they had done. Elizabeth walks in, flushed with fury. She says, "What would three girls be doing up at a time like this lying about what Lady Agatha had not done?" The three of them looked at her innocently and replied, "What lie?"
"Do not give me that, 'We did not do a thing' look. You know of what lie I speak," she yelled, "Tell me the truth. Why did you tell the sheriff that Lady Agatha stole something from William Wallace?"
Danielle stuttered "Well, we blamed her stealing on Daisy, Meri, and Rose. We wanted to..."
Fauna, smacking Danielle, "Danielle. Be quiet!"
The Queen still in a fry, yelled again, "Tell me what it was you had planned. Or I will have the three of you whipped and working in the servants quarters!"
Hearing that, the three girls whimpered and told their mother the truth. Telling her that they were planning on getting Meri, Daisy, and Rose into trouble. They also said they would tell Dominae that Rose, Meri, and Daisy had possessed Lady Agatha. Then the four of them would be put in jail for a crime that was easy to fool anyone. The Queen, surprised at hearing this, rushed out of the room and ordered that Danielle, Fauna, and Lillian whipped, and working in the servants quarters anyway.
Fauna, Danielle, and Lillian tried to run from Sir Reginald, and Sir Andrew, but it was too late. They were being dragged to the dungeon to be whipped.
When they were done being whipped they were taken to the kitchen to work. When they finished working, the girls were now to serve breakfast to their sisters and their mother. Once they finished that, they had breakfast. After breakfast, Danielle, Fauna, and Lillian cleaned up the kitchen. Danielle washed the dishes, Fauna dried, and stacked away the dishes, and Lillian swept the floor.
When they finished, they went to bed for a quick nap, before lunch. Once the time came for lunch, Lillian, Fauna, and Danielle set the table. They were told to set out more dishes and utensils. A few guests had come for lunch and dinner that day. They called upon their mother, sisters and guests for lunch.
Queen Elizabeth walked in first, then Meri, Daisy, and Rose. Lastly to walk in were the guests, the McManly brothers. Lillian, Fauna, and Danielle were surprised to see them in Yorkshire. Then Conner said, "Your Majesty. Your home is very extravagant. I have always wanted to live in a castle. So have my brother, if I may add."
Queen Elizabeth replied, "Maybe someday you all will."
The brothers nodded. Lunch was served. Everyone had something different. When they were all finished, Danielle, Fauna, and Lillian cleared the table. Then Queen Elizabeth led her three younger daughters, and the McManly brothers back to the conference room.
An hour after lunch it was time for afternoon tea. Danielle brought in some shortbread crackers; Fauna brought in the tea, honey, and lemon. Lillian brought in the cups and saucers. When teatime was over, the table was cleared. Conner had an idea to go for a walk around the town.
Queen Elizabeth said, "That sounds like a wonderful idea Conner. Girls run upstairs and grab your cloaks." Rose, Meri, and Daisy did as they were told. They came down momentarily with their cloaks in hand. Daisy spoke, "Pray pardon mother."
"Yes?" replied the Queen.
"I do not know how this happened, but our cloaks are torn. There is a rather large hole, torn in the back of them. They were not there before."
"You hung them in your closet?" the Queen asked.
"Yes. Everytime we came home from wherever we went," replied Daisy.
"I will buy you new ones," Elizabeth said.
"Thank you, mother." chimed the girls.
They exited the castle door, and walked down the staircase to the road. Queen Elizabeth walks arm in arm with Conner. Meri walks with, Duncan, Daisy paired with Hamish, and Rose walks with Angus. The cloak shoppe is where they make their first stop. Daisy, Rose, and Meri look around for cloaks. Daisy grabs a black one with a silver design on the back; Meri grabs a black one with red roses on the back, and Rose grabs a green one with a black design on the back.
Esmerelda walked up to the Queen and asked, "Is that all you need, Your Majesty?"
The Queen replied, "Yes Esmerelda. This is all."
"‘Tis six pence, Your Majesty," exclaims Esmerelda.
Queen Elizabeth pays Esmerelda the six pence. Daisy, Meri, and Rose put on their cloaks. Then they left with the Mcmanly brothers to another shoppe. The next shoppe was the jewelry shoppe. Everyone looked in awe at the jewelry.
Hamish walked over to the Queen. He spoke, "Your Majesty."
"Yes Hamish?" she replied.
"I would like permission for your daughter, Daisy's, hand in marriage," he struggled to say, as he thought the Queen would say no.
"You have my permission," she stated gladly," When will you be asking her?"
"Tonight. After dinner. Before everyone leaves to go to bed."
Hamish goes to buy a gold ring with a white diamond. He gets it wrapped so Daisy doesn't see it. His brother ask what the ring is for. Hamish smiles and says, "You will see after dinner." Then goes to meet up with Daisy.
Duncan, Conner, and Angus already suspected something was going on. Then they just went on and walked with Meri, Rose, and Queen Elizabeth.

Chapter 2
It was near time for dinner, and Hamish was trying to look his best. He was pulling his hair back into a tail so it would be away from his face. He grabbed for the ring, but found it was gone. Hamish turned around and saw Conner holding the ring. Duncan and Angus was to either side of Conner.
"So, brother. You are now in love with a young lass. Just curious as to why you had to pick one of the Queen's daughters?"
Hamish looked at him and said, "I want to show her how I really feel about her. Besides, she's one lass, I know, I am never going to lose."
Danielle walks in after he says that. She asks if they all are ready for dinner. All four of the brothers nod. Hamish takes the ring from Conner and walks out of the room first. Then Conner, Duncan, and Angus follow.
The four of them get to the dining hall. They see the Queen with Daisy, Rose, and Meri all sitting at the table talking. The Queen looks up at the brothers and says, "Come in boys. Sit down. All of you." All four McManly brothers did as they were told. Hamish Sat next to Daisy.
Conner sat near Queen Elizabeth. Duncan and Angus sat next to each other across from Rose and Meri. Once everyone settled in, dinner was served. There was a lot of food. Everyone had a small portion of what was served for dinner. When they finished the table was cleared. Then it was time for tea, and shortbread crackers. Which everyone had.
They finished with their tea and crackers and began talking. Daisy looked away from Hamish to talk to her mother, for two minutes. When she turned to face him again, she found him kneeling next to her. Everyone, including Fauna, Danielle, and Lillian, gawked at the both of them. Daisy was especially surprised.
"Princess Daisy," Hamish started, " Will you marry me?"
After a moment time of thought Daisy answered, "Yes, Hamish. I will."
He slipped the ring onto her finger. Then the two of them embraced. After the astonishment of the engagement, everyone congratulated Hamish and Daisy. They celebrated with music, drink, and food. Friends and family were invited.
All the citizens of the "Shire" were invited. Lady Agatha, and Lady Lettice had come for the celebration. Simple Simon, the village idiot attended, as did Drool, the town idiot. The Queen's jesters, Pester Flop, Ima Nut, and Marquis were the entertainment. Charlie Mopps and Marylin Merlot were the publicans.
The whole town as causing an uproar for the celebration of Hamish McManly's and Daisy Glorianna's engagement. Everyone in the town congratulated Hamish and Daisy. The happy couple walked around the hall greeting their guests. Then they found a corner where they could talk to each other. At that corner they discussed their wedding plans. Later on the celebration had settled down a bit.
Down to the last person the celebration was over. Everyone, yet again, congratulated Daisy and Hamish as they left the hall. Bardolfe, the "Shire" thug, was the very last to leave. He bowed to Daisy, took her hand to his forehead, stood up straight, and let go. He then shook Hamish's hand; let go then congratulated them again. Then he staggered out the door to go home.
Queen Elizabeth, Meri, Rose, Duncan, Conner, and Angus were no where to be found. Neither were Danielle, Fawna, and Lillian with the servants. At that time Daisy and Hamish decided to go to bed, assuming the others did as well. The two of them walked to Daisy's room hand in hand. Once there, they bid each other good night. Then Hamish walked to his room.
Once in his room, Hamish crawled into bed and slept till the next morning. As did the whole town.

Thank you Saruman. BTW The last name for one of my character's names, Daisy Glorianna((Gee wonder how I got the first name)) It has to be changed to Daisy Drake. You'll see why later in the story.

Re: Renaissance story. by: Me.
I have a few changes to do also. I noticed that I have some bad spots in the story. In pretty much every chapter. I'm glad I'm doing this on computer as well as writing it in a book.
"My anti-drug is hobbits."
"I'm only here for the hobbits."
"The biggest

((Haven't made some of the changes yet. But here's chapter 3 anywho.))
Chapter 3
The next morning the town awoke. Still groggy from the night before. Inside the castle, the Queen, her daughters and only three of the McManly brothers were sitting at the table for breakfast. Queen Elizabeth asked where Hamish was. Conner replied, "Hamish is ill, Your Majesty. He is not well at all."
Then Queen Elizabeth said, "Then he will have his rest. Daisy I am sorry, but you may not visit him. I forbid it. I do not want you ill."
Daisy looked at her mother and nodded, as if to say she understands. Everyone finished with their breakfast and wanted to go for a walk. Rose, Meri, and Daisy went upstairs to grab their cloaks. As soon as they got to their room, they heard Hamish calling for Daisy.
The servant helping him said that Daisy was not allowed to see him. Hamish started making a fuss. He stormed out of the room and headed for the dining hall. When he got there, he only found his brothers and the Queen there. "Where is Daisy?" Hamish demanded.
Conner told him, "I'm sorry brother, but the Queen forbids Daisy to see you today. Not until you are better. Her Majesty does not want Daisy ill."
Hamish turned around and started back to his room. As soon as he got to the staircase. Daisy was walking downstairs. She stopped in surprise and said, "HAMISH! What are you doing out of bed? You're gong to catch a cold. Worse than the one you have already."
Hamish looked back at her and said, "I was going back upstairs. I just wanted to see you before I hadn't the chance to."
They looked at each other. Then Daisy walked Hamish back to his room. Meri and Rose told Daisy they would wait for her outside. Daisy nodded and walked with Hamish back to his room. Meri and Rose went outside with Duncan, Angus, Conner, and their mother the Queen.
Upstairs, Daisy and Hamish get to the room. Hamish climbs back into bed, and sits up watching her. She looks at him, smiles and says, "Why were you so worried on not seeing me today?"
He told her, "When we're married we're not supposed to be too far from each other... There has to be a quicker way to be together... Let's move the wedding up to tomorrow."
"Hamish we can't get married tomorrow," Daisy told him, "It's too early. Please get some rest? You need your sleep."
"Fine we won't get married tomorrow... But can you stay with me until I fall asleep?" he asked her, pleadingly.
Daisy smiled and nodded. Hamish fell asleep two minutes later. She tiptoed out of the room. Then closed the door slowly and quietly, once she was out of the room. She was about to go downstairs, but when she turned around she was surprised to see Conner standing behind her.
"Conner!" she said scared out of her wits, "Please do not do that?"
"Sorry Princess," he exclaimed, "I was sent to come for you by your mother."
Conner offered his arm to Daisy. She put her arm around his. Then the two of them walked downstairs together. Downstairs Queen Elizabeth, Meri, Rose, Duncan, and Angus were waiting. Conner and Daisy meet up with them. Then they leave to walk around the town.
Upstairs Hamish sleeps, but he is not still. He dreamt that he was in a sword fight with Sir John Falstaff. He thought he had lost Daisy to him and that she had killed herself because she didn't want to be with Sir John. Hamish woke up screaming. He looked around for Daisy, but could not find her. He leaves the room to look for her.
Outside Queen Elizabeth, her three younger daughters, and three of the McManly brothers were walking in and out of different shoppes. They stopped at the "Shire" square to see what was going on. The town jesters Marquis and Ima Nut were acting out a story being told by Mama Leone. It was the story of how Hamish McManly and Daisy Drake were engaged. Mama Leone told it in a rather comical way, than a romantic way.
After the play was over, Queen Elizabeth, Daisy, Meri, Rose, Conner, Duncan, and Angus walked back to the castle. Once there, the Queen walked in first. Then her daughters walked in. Lastly Conner, Duncan, and Angus walked in. They all walked in to see Hamish waiting at the steps for Daisy.
Everyone, but Daisy left the main hall. She and Hamish had started an argument about her not being in his room when he was asleep. He wouldn't listen when she said that he asked her to stay until he fell asleep. Daisy was so angry she left the main hall and went out to the balcony outside the BallRoom. Hamish starts walking back up to his room.
The both of them didn't know that they were being followed. Meri was following Hamish, and Duncan was following Daisy. Once outside Duncan walked over to Daisy and started talking to her. Upstairs, Meri and Hamish were talking.
"Hamish," Meri said, "I know for a fact that Daisy loves you more than anyone she's met. She thinks and talk of only you."
"Princess Merily," he says as he thinks about what she had just said, "She only talks about me? No one else?"
Meri nods. Hamish looks at her and says, " I'm going downstairs to apologize to her." He leaves the room with Meri following behind.
Downstairs on the balcony Duncan and Daisy are still talking.
"Princess," Duncan started, "I'm sure Hamish did not mean what he said. He loves only you. He had told me once that he would rather die than him marry someone else."
"Then tell me why it sounded as if he hated me? I don't understand him," Daisy said holding back tears.
"Hamish does not want to lose you, Princess. He also told me he would fight for you if you were to marry someone else," he pauses and says, "Sorry to say, but I have got to leave. God day Princess." Duncan leaves, and walks towards the dining hall.
Hamish comes out to the balcony as Daisy had her back turned. When she turned around, she saw him standing there and was surprised. They apologized to each other. Hamish apologized for being overprotective of Daisy. He was also sorry for starting the foolish argument. Daisy apologized for retaliating, and leaving when he was still talking to her.

Re: Renaissance story. by: Me.
((Ok sorry about ^that post here's the next chapter))
Chapter 4
Daisy and Hamish were still outside on the balcony. Rose came in screaming like a raving lunatic. She was saying that Lord Percy “fancy pants” Whitbred wants to kill Hamish, for stealing his future bride. Hamish was irritated at the thought of Daisy marrying Lord Percy Whitbred. He walked into the ballroom, to get to the main hallway. Daisy and Rose were trying to keep him calm the whole way there.
Once Hamish reached the dining hall, Daisy and Rose held him away from Lord Percy. Lord Percy stood there laughing and kept taunting him. Then Daisy told Hamish to settle down and she’ll go talk to him. She walked up to him as he bowed to her. She asked with a stern look, “Why do you want to kill Hamish?”
“You see, Princess,” he stated, “Since you turned the age of sixteen I knew that you and I would be married sometime in the future. You were the only woman I ever loved. But this loggerheaded, ill-breeding, lout stole you from me. I wanted to kill him to get you back.”
Duncan, Angus, and Conner were about to break into a fight with Lord Percy. Her Majesty, the Queen stopped them from doing so. Daisy stood there giving Lord Percy and ice-cold stare. Pointing to the door, she told him to leave. He was on his knees begging for her forgiveness. Daisy looked away from him, still pointing to the door. So Lord Percy left without looking back at her, hanging his head lowly.
Later that night everyone was in bed sleeping. Daisy tried to sleep still, but could not. She was dreaming that Lord Percy Whitbred killed Hamish. Then she had married him and killed herself as for her unhappiness with him. She awoke, crying. She sat up in bed. Thinking for a bit she got out of bed, grabbed her cloak and left the bedroom.
Daisy walked downstairs to the main hallway. She went through the ballroom, out to the balcony. She walked down more stairs to get to the castle garden. Walking a while, Daisy finally found a place to sit. She looked up at the stars, and hoped Hamish had followed her to the garden. Soon enough he was there behind her.
Then the two of them walked back inside. They reached the main hallway, and there was a thunderous knock at the door. At first they walked slowly towards the door. Once they heard a woman’s scream, they rushed over and swung the door open. The door opened Daisy and Hamish saw Lord Percy holding Rose captive, with a dagger to her neck.
Daisy grabbed a sword from Sir Andrew Chatham. She walked towards Lord Percy and her sister. She kept her eyes straight on Lord Percy. He drew the blade closer to Rose’s neck. She begged Daisy, not to get any closer.
Daisy did as her sister instructed. She stood hoping someone could come and distract him. Soon enough her prayers were answered. Two young squires came through town singing loud, like village drunkards. Daisy thought, “Finally. I can save my sister now.”
She goes up behind Lord Percy, hits him in the back of the shoulder with the sword. He lets go of Rose, and she runs behind Daisy. Daisy walks up to Lord Percy and puts the sword to his neck. He throws his arms into the air. Sir Andrew and Sir Reginald arrest him.
The Queen’s guards drag Lord Percy to the throne room to be judged by the Queen. Once there, Her Majesty, the Queen, orders them to take him to the dungeon. Sir Andrew and Sir Reginald do as they were ordered. At the dungeon, the two guards throw him into the cell, and leave after they lock him up. He orders them to free him, but they do not listen, and keep walking away.
Once the guards are gone, Hagrid the headsman starts to sharpen his axe. The Queen and Daisy walk up to his cell. They ask Hagrid to let him out of the cell. Then Lord Percy is searched to make sure there are no more weapons on him. Then Queen Elizabeth sits down and asks him a few questions. Daisy stands by behind her mother with sword in hand, incase Lord Percy tries anything.
Her Majesty, the Queen, asks Percy why he nearly killed her youngest daughter. Lord Percy replied, “Your Majesty. I did it to make your daughter, Daisy, marry me instead of that Scottish, village drunkard, Hamish McManly.”
Daisy interrupted in a snappy tone, “Why would I want to marry you? I would rather have been friends. Nothing more. Now I am not so sure that I even want to be that.”
Queen Elizabeth tried to keep Daisy calm, so she does not kill Lord Percy. He was locked back up. Then Her Majesty, started for the main hallway. Before she, left, Daisy stopped in front of Lord Percy’s cell and told him to stay away from her, her family, and friends. She told him that if he didn’t, she would kill him.

(( Thank you Saruman. Here's the next chapter.))
Chapter 5
The next morning Lord Percy was put to trial. Dominae Tryst said she would whip him. Jackie Cupshotten said, “No! Let’s dunk him.” At this point the whole ‘Shire’ was in an uproar about what to do with Lord Percy. With a select few ideas, Lord Percy was dunked, he had rotten vegetables and fruit thrown at him, and he was beaten to a bloody pulp.
Daisy, Rose and Hamish were watching as Fauna stood next to Lord Percy. She told everyone that they should be ashamed of themselves. She announced to the whole town that she would marry Lord Percy if no one else would. The entire ‘Shire’ stood quietly in awe.
Daisy stared at her older sister and yelled, “ Are you mad? Do you even know what he tried to do to our younger sister? Do you even know what he could do to mother if he becomes King here? Do you want that on your conscience?”
Fauna looked at her little sister and replied, “No… But I don’t care either way. Lord Percy will take over the ‘Shire’ with me. Even you three will worship me. I love him with all my heart.”
Daisy told her sister, “Good. You two go get married, but take over another land. We don’t need you here. Meri, Rose, and I have always thought you, Danielle, and Lillian were always the spoiled brats.”
Fauna glared at her little sisters as they walked away with the McManly brothers. Then she grabbed a sword from somebody nearby and stalked towards Daisy. Bardolfe warned Daisy about it, and was stabbed in the arm for getting in Fauna’s way. Daisy turned around, grabbed Hamish’s sword and thrust the blade at her sister’s neck.
She told Fauna to put down her sword, and drop to her knees. Fauna did as her sister ordered and looked up at her. Daisy asked Sir Andrew and Sir Reginald to take Bardolfe to the hospital wing in the castle. They do as they were asked. Their father, Sir Francis Drake was asked to take Fauna inside to see their mother. Dominae Tryst decided to take Lord Percy back down to the dungeon.
Daisy and Hamish walked back inside with their siblings behind them. Rose was still shook up from the night before, and now she was shook up even more from what she thought Fauna would do to Daisy. Once they got inside Hamish stands at the door and listens for what the Queen will do with her oldest daughter. Daisy walked her little sister upstairs to their bedroom. They got to the room, and Rose climbed into bed and asked for some tea. She told Rose she would, and Hamish appeared.
“What news have you brought about Fauna, Hamish?” Daisy asked.
“Well,” he started, “she is leaving the land. Along with Lord Percy. Or maybe it was just the ‘Shire’ they both are leaving.”
Daisy and Rose were surprised to hear that. Then Daisy asked Hamish to stay with Rose while she went to get tea. He said he would, and Daisy left to go to the kitchen. Fifteen minutes later, she returned and found Rose and Hamish asleep.
She went over to Rose’s bed, put her tea on the night table and tucked her in. Then Daisy went over to her bed, where Hamish was, and tucked him in as well. She grabbed her cloak and sat in a chair near Meri’s bed.
Meri came in and saw Daisy sitting there. She walked over to Daisy and asked her why she wasn’t in her own bed. She told Meri to look for herself. She did as Daisy said and saw Hamish there in her bed. Meri offered to let her sleep in her bed, but Daisy declined. Meri climbed into her bed and fell right to sleep. Daisy, still sitting in the chair, eventually fell asleep herself.
The next morning everyone awoke to the sound of wedding bells. Wondering what all the commotion was about, the town of the ‘Shire’ came to the courtyard to see what the Queen had to announce. Once everyone was there, Her Majesty the Queen announced Fauna’s and Lord Percy’s leaving. She also announced their wedding, which would be that day.
Later on at the wedding ceremony Danielle and Lillian both went up to Fauna to congratulate her. They stood there with her crying and wishing they could go with her and Lord Percy to the other side of England. They told Fauna that she was lucky to be living with him. When the music started Lillian and Danielle ran up and sat with their mother. Lord Percy stood at the altar waiting for Fauna. Fauna started towards the altar.
Once at the altar, the ceremony began. The Priest started his sermon for the wedding. He started out by saying, “Dearly beloved. We are gathered here today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony. If there is anyone who thinks these two should not marry, speak now or forever hold your peace.”
No one spoke up, and the Priest continued. He finally got to the end of the ceremony. Then he said, “Do you, Lord Percy, take this woman to be your wedded wife?”
Lord Percy replied, “I do.”
The Priest repeated the same words to Fauna with a few changes. She replied, “I do.” Then the ceremony was over. Fauna and Lord Percy were now married. They were announced as Lord and Lady of England.
The next to be married would be Daisy, but only she had her wedding planned for a while and would be going at a slower pace than Fauna. Now unless Lillian and Danielle do something wrong then they would leave. Maybe they would even live with Fauna once they do marry.
Daisy skipped the wedding and heard the town gossip about Fauna and Lord Percy were staying in England. But they were going to live on the opposite side of the land. They were also going to live as towns people. Lillian and Danielle were going to live with them in a few weeks. Then the happy couple finally left. The town of people said and waved farewell to them.
The town grew quieter after Lord Percy and Fauna left. That night Meri, Rose, and Daisy ran to the pub in town. When they entered the pub the towns people bowed to them. The three of them told the people to get off of the ground. Then Daisy said, “We are just looking for someone. Sorry to have disturbed you all.”
Charlie Mopps, the brewmaster, had welcomed the young princesses, and asked them to stay. They told Charlie they would stay. Rose, Meri, and Daisy all sat at a table by the window. Daisy looked outside and saw the two squires who had helped her rescue her youngest sister the night before. She pardoned herself from the table, and ran outside.
Once she was outside, she walked up to the two young men and started talking with them. They followed her inside the pub and sat with her and her sisters at their table. The two of them introduced themselves to her sisters. One’s name, was Elijah Wood, and he is seventeen. The other’s name, was Dominic Monaghan, he is nineteen.
Elijah sat next to Rose. Dominic was next to Meri. Daisy had walked up to the bar and asked for another round of ale. She also asked for two more to be added to the order. Hamish walked in as Daisy was going back to the table.
Hamish saw her walking to the table, and followed her there. He surprised the others Daisy was with, let alone her. She was shocked and ashamed of being there. Hamish saw her face turning red. He sat down next to her, and said that he wasn’t upset with her being there.
After they had their last round of ale, they left the pub to sleep until the next day.

((Let me tell ya ask RB and Meri. Now I think I'll post Chapter 6))
Chapter 6
In the next few weeks, Lillian and Danielle have been packing their clothes, and other belongings. They were going to live with Fauna and Lord Percy. They too were married with a quick ceremony. Their husbands were two twenty-two year old twin princes. One was named William; his brother was named Colin.
Once they were done packing, their belongings were thrown upon the carriage that carried their husbands to their home. After their belongings were on the carriage, they rode to the other side of England to live with Fauna and Lord Percy. Fauna sent a letter to their mother that said Danielle, Lillian, William, and Colin made it safely to her home. At reading this, the Queen was ecstatic, and had a celebration for no apparent reason. Yet again the whole town was invited. After the celebration, all the guests left for home. Upstairs Daisy was getting fitted for her wedding dress. Meri and Rose were with her, getting their brides-maids dresses fitted. Queen Elizabeth was there as well, asking Daisy questions about the wedding. Daisy had told her not to worry, and that she has the whole thing set.
Just then Hamish came in, not knowing he walked into the wrong room. The Queen had walked him back out of the room. He caught a quick glimpse of Daisy standing in her wedding dress. Once outside the room Hamish told the Queen he saw Daisy in the dress. She asked him if Daisy looked beautiful, and he said yes.
She also told him she wishes that he and Daisy did not have to leave England to go live in Scotland. Hamish told the Queen that they were staying in England. At hearing this, Queen Elizabeth was ecstatic. He asked her not to tell Daisy about it, and he wants it to be a surprise. The Queen agreed, and went back inside the bedroom.
Once inside, Queen Elizabeth took a look at Daisy and started to cry. Daisy saw her mother crying and asked her, “Are you alright, mum?”
Queen Elizabeth replied, “Yes. I am fine, my darling daughter. I’m sorry.”
Daisy smiled at her mother. Then she went behind the shade and dressed into her daily clothing. Meri and Rose just finished with their dresses being hemmed. Then after Daisy was done getting dressed they did as well.
Daisy left the room to go look for Hamish, to ask him if he wanted to go for a walk. What she did not know is that he was waiting by his room for her. As soon as she stepped out of the room, he grabbed her by the arm and dragged her into his room to talk. Inside the room Daisy and Hamish talk about their wedding. Then he announced to Daisy that they will be staying, and living in England.
Outside the room, Duncan heard what Hamish said to Daisy. He hurried downstairs to tell Conner about it. As Conner heard the news, he was deeply upset by it. He then rushed upstairs, with Angus and Duncan following. As soon as the three of them got to the top step, Daisy and Hamish were about to go downstairs.
Conner stood by the two of them, and looked at Hamish with an angered look on his face. Confused, Hamish asked Daisy to wait for him downstairs. She did as she was asked and went downstairs. Conner grabbed Hamish by the collar and asked him why he was going to live in England instead of his home, in Scotland. Hamish replied, “ Conner, I do not want the Queen to worry about her daughter, and not knowing that she’s alright. I swear to you I will visit. Anytime I can, I will. I promise.”
Conner’s expression softened, and he apologized to his brother. Hamish then told all three of his brothers he and Daisy were planning on having kids once they are married. Duncan, Angus, and Conner were ecstatic to hear such news. The four of them had walked downstairs together.
Once they were downstairs, they saw Daisy talking with Dominic, one of the squires who helped her rescue her young sister, Rose. When Daisy looked towards the steps she saw Hamish standing there with his brothers. She excused herself from Dominic. Dominic let her go on her way. He bowed to her, turned around and left. Then Daisy walked over to Hamish, Duncan, Conner, and Angus, to talk.
Conner bowed before her, and apologized for the inconvenience upstairs. She told him it was all right. After that Hamish’s brothers left the main hall to sit with Queen Elizabeth in the dining hall. Daisy and Hamish walked out of the castle to take their daily stroll around the town. When they got to the middle of town they stopped at the clothing shoppe.
They looked at the many different clothing. Daisy decided to buy Hamish a tunic, and a vest to wear for the wedding. The tunic was a white fabric with a pretty design on it, the buttons on it were of seashells, and those were sewn to the bottom of the tunic. Then she found a vest that was black leather. It was almost like the brown one he wore.
Daisy, when she was done, had paid Molly Mallone the ten pence for the vest and the tunic. She asked to have them wrapped, for it was one of two gifts Hamish was getting for his wedding present. Daisy turned to Hamish and told him she was ready to leave. He told her he’d be with her in just a minute’s time. When he finished looking at the other tunics, he said he was ready to go as well, and the two of them left.
The next stop was the jewelry shoppe. They were both looking at everything they wished they had. There was a necklace that Hamish kept his eyes on the whole time. Daisy asked him if he wanted it. He replied, “I do, Hun. But I do not want you spending all your money on me. Besides you already bought me some things at the clothing shoppe.”
Daisy stared at him smiling. She told him the tunic, and the vest was a surprise. Then she said she would buy him the necklace anyway. With a devilish grin she thought, “When you least expect it.”

Isn't it always like that?

Re: Renaissance story. by: Me.
About what? RB and Meri? Or the thing about Hamish finding out that Daisy bought him too many things?
And I was a beta reader, but not for the first few chapters.
