Leanndra's Romance Chapter

John Brockman was a well known knight in his town of Manshsterville Iowa. He was usually always keen sensed and he never lost a battle. He stood about seven feet five inches tall. He had a long, scraggly, and course beard. His hair is red like fire and curled like cork screw pasta.
People in the town started to notice a difference in John’s behavior almost immediately. Everyone started to talk about it. The people in the town questioned Henry Masdiff the most because he was John’s squire. But he told them nothing every time. John was lucky to have such a trustworthy squire. At least that is what John himself believed.
The reason John was so troubled lately is because he recently fell in love with the woman of his dreams. He only had a chance to speak with her briefly because she had a prior engagement to attend to. He was still left wondering if she felt the same way. The young maidens name was Esmerellda. Soon they fell in love and were found at each other’s side almost all day everyday. John was finally happy he decided he would ask Esmerellda to marry him in two weeks. That would allow him enough time to purchase the ring.
Things took a sudden unexpected change in their relationship. That following week Esmerellda was too busy to spend even an hour with John. Not to mention Henry was no where to be seen. As the days passed be began to grow suspicious of Henry. He caught him arriving home in the middle of the night. This was something Henry never did before.
Rather than confronting him John decided to wait and follow him the following night. Sure enough that next night John heard Henry leaving. He quickly followed him. Much to his surprise he saw him meeting his love Esmerellda. He was muffled. Then they started kissing. He was mortified. He couldn’t believe that Henry betrayed him.
John was so angry he did something a little crazy. He put poison into Henry’s meal the next evening. Then if anyone asked him he would say he does not know what happened and he told the town coroner that he died from seizures. They left it at that. Of course Esmerellda went back to John for comfort. A week later they were married. From that day on no one spoke of Henry and he was forgotten.

Wow. Action, adventure, romance, and betryal. Very good job. I feel kind of sad for the poor guy, though. Honesty between the two would have been better. Great lesson, Leanndra.

Oh, I forgot to say that this sort of reminded me of the Count of Monte Cristo, except that the guy really did die, or did he? :)
