Milady's Chemise w/ lace
A Harlequin’s Renaissance Romance
‘Twas more than Bedelia could bear: The pounds of petticoats; the pinching corset, the powder; the pins; the endless bowing and Milady-ing. And so she arose betimes and set forth all alone and near-naked, dashing over the grass in deliciously bare feet, her light muslin shift aflutter, its fine lace tickling her neck.
Alone?
A haunting medieval song was carried on the breeze—The Fool had followed! Black eyes flashing, she turned with an angry toss of her raven hair. How dare he!
He approached with bold steps and an arrogant smile. “Milady,” said he, bowing; and as he bowed, removed his mask.
"Sir Valorous!” she gasped, and fell fainting into his arms. “Not slain by pirates!”
(Almost) The End
