Lady and the Centurion

Characters: Lady Liannabeth Fairly and Centurion Corina Corina Callirix
Lady Liannabeth Fairly has enjoyed all the luxuries of Vandis, the Imperial Capital of Moredus, from a young age. However, her heart yearned for freedom. As a political prisoner, she was never allowed leave the capital’s high walls, her only friends being other young ladies of the court and the occasional female guard. However, as a half-elf, Liannabeth had time on her side.
Liannabeth’s guardian, a powerful and influential lady of the imperial court, sought a wealthy and influential husband for Liannabeth. For decades, one after another, potential suitors failed to impress and marriage arrangements kept falling through until one day Liannabeth’s guardian, nearing the end of her life, declared: “We will hold a royal joust at the imperial amphitheater and the victor shall claim you as his bride.”
A dozen noble knights from all over the empire gathered to joust for Lady Liannabeth Fairly’s hand. One by one, they fell to a mysterious masked centurion from within the imperial capital who joined the joust at the last moment. As the final adversary fell, the mysterious centurion removed their mask and the entire amphitheater let out a collective gasp.
The victor was none other than Centurion Corina Callirix, one of Liannabeth’s personal guards. Corina walked up to Liannabeth and kissed her in defiance of the emperor’s law and the expectations imposed upon them. The crowd stared in disbelief as the two women climbed on a mighty pegasus and flew away together to freedom.
