The other guard quickly ran up the stairs, coming back down awhile later with a man dressed in black.
"Who on earth are you?!" I demanded.
He slowly slid his mask off.
* * *
Truth is? I had no idea who he was. I'd never seen him before in my entire life! He grinned evilly at me. Wait a sec. NOW I was sure I knew what was going on here. I was SURE I'd seen that smile before.
"Remember me yet, Wyn?" he asked.
"It's Lady Mathusahumplaluckwyn to you!" I yelled. "Sheesh, dude, get some manners!"
"I have all of the manners that a young man should have," he announced, starting to pace. "I am the most perfect Lord in all of England." He banged his fist on the table. "Certainly more of a perfect Lord than that stinking Lochinvar!"
I stopped. "Wait, you hate Lochinvar?"
"Of course I hate him!" cried the Lord-whose-name-I-still-didn't-know. "He stole my love from me!"
I burst out laughing. "Wait, so YOU love ELLEN!? That's what this is all about?! Bahahahahahaha!"
"I see nothing funny about all of this," he sniffed.
"I do!" I cried. "This is hilarious! You guys both love Ellen, and so you went and kidnapped me in hopes of somehow getting her to love you! Though I really don't know how. That was kind of a stupid idea, sorry to say. I mean, she hates ME. So you might as well let me loose."
"But Lochinvar is noble!" the Lord cried. "So he'll come and save you!"
"Save your breath," I snorted. "He's off on the crusades."
"He IS!?" The man whooped with joy. "YES! This is EXACTLY what I needed!!"
"Uh..." I gave him a look. "Why?"
