[F4M] [script offer] The Battle-Hardened Knight Returns To Her Farm Boy

This script is a continuation of the previous one, where the female knight, after having confessed her love and made love to the farmboy living alone in his cottage. An ancounter that lasted no more than an hour, but changed your perspective on what you believed you knew about life forever. And your encounter with him showed you that there was more to life, than fighting and drying on the battlefield, while his love and affection towards you, showed you that even a scared and hardened woman like yourself, could be considered beautiful.

But you could not abandon your responsibility to your soldiers. You entered his cabin, intending to remove your last reason for living, but left with two new reasons to return.

This battle was indeed the most bloody, brutal and violent one you’d ever taken part in. You already knew it was intended to be the battle to end all battles, but even that could never have prepared you. Even then, however, your past self would have considered it another day in the life as a solder, but this time, unlike all the previous battles, you were afraid. Because, just as you’d expected, and even secretly hoped, you missed your period on the eve before leading the charge. And so, you truly were fighting, both to protect the love of your life behind you, and the love of your life inside you.

Your army emerges from the battle victories and a new area of piece is declared between the kingdoms. You never imagined that your body could become more scared and damaged than it was before, but in the aftermath of the battle, you discovered it could. New wounds atop old wounds, old wounds became new wounds, and new wounds on the few parts of your body that hadn’t had them.

Months in recovery pass by, but despite the pain, the only thing on your mind, is returning home, but your only fear, is returning home as well. You return to the village, now short one eye, as well as having lost the use of an arm and all your other newly obtained wounds. In short, even if there were a future war, your fighting days are over.

But you do finally return to the farmboys village, though when you do, you somehow find yourself more terrified than even when you fought at the battle. He’d been so accepting of your wounds before, but would he still be when he saw you now? Despite your wounds, when he learns you were able to keep your promise, will his love still be there?

[start]

[you arrive on your hours, just a ways away from his cottage and dismount]

(((SFX of nighttime sounds)))

(Sound of horse walking along, before stopping)

Whoa...whoa....

(Sighs)

Finally back here, after all this time. Over half a year it's been....and yet the village still looks exactly the same. And there’s his little cottage, still looks exactly the same too. Half a year and I haven’t soo much as sent a letter.

(Dry chuckle)

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t even live there anymore. Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he thought I died and just...moved on. Don’t see any toys in the yard, but still....

(Small sound of pain)

Soo sore. Maybe I should have headed the healers advice and spent more time in the infermary....maybe I just shouldn’t have returned at all...

[you feel a small kick in your belly]

(Small sound of surprise, and small chuckle)

Though...I suppose if I didn’t...you’d keep kicking me until I did...wouldn't you?

(Sighs)

Even if he’s moved on....even if he doesn’t love me anymore...he still deserves to know. But...maybe I should come back in the morning...it’s soo late in the hour...

No. No...I have to be brave...alright, see if I can dismount without killing myself at his doorstep

(Sounds of grunting as you dismount)

Ow..ow ow ow....

(Sighs)

OK...ok...here we go...

(Sounds of light knocking and a pause.)

(Sound of slightly louder knocking)

(Speaks quietly to yourself)

Maybe he’s asleep? Oh I really should have just waited until-...

(Small gasp as door opens)

Until-...uhm...I-.....uhm...hi. H-..hello, I’ve...returned.

[bewildered, he asks if it’s really you]

(Small nervous chuckle)

yes...it..it is really me. Much more sacred and bruised, one less eye than before and practically one less arm as well, but...it’s still me. But..before you speak, just hear me out...won’t you?

I uh..I know how long it’s been since I left...and never sent so much as a message during all the time. I wanted to, but our resources were stretched soo thin, that by the time I could have send a rider, I was able to just come myself.

I was in the infirmary for several months and I couldn’t even walk on my own until several weeks ago, but...as soon as I was, I came here. I’m just sorry that you had to wait soo long for my return, only to have me finally do, and look even more scared and unwomanly before.

I almost didn’t return because of that. Figured you’d probably moved on, maybe found yourself a proper wife who was beautiful and didn’t ride off to kill people, instead of stay here with you. Where I’d have been happy, and safe. So...I’m sorry, sorry for everything...

In all honestly, I came here just to tell you that I was alive. But...if you were to tell me it’s too late, that I took to long, or you just don’t want to look at my ugly scared and bandaged face for another moment, then I’d understand. I’d completely-..

Huh?...

[he interrupts you, telling you to stop]

S-..stop?...stop what?

You’ve...been waiting for me? You have?...but why!? After all the time I’ve been gone! The whole kingdom knew the war was over, and when I didn’t return right afterwards, surely you’d thought I died on the field! How can you say you’ve been waiting for me?!

And how can you look soo happy to see me right now!? I don’t even look the same as when I’m left! I’m broken! I was scared when we first met, yes, but now look at me! At my face! My arm is all wrapped in bandages, but if you saw the wounds it had, you’d probably be sick on the spot!

I just...Don’t understand. You really waited?...all this time? I-...what?

[he says he still loves you, just as he did before]

You...still love me? After all...after everything, you-

[without another word he walks forward and embraces you in a kiss]

(Small muffled sound of surprise before kissing sounds that go on for a time)

(Small Sighs)

...just like before...you kissed me..just like you did when I left...

(More sounds of soft kissing)

Ohh..your arms...you’re holding me...just like you did before as well...

Oh I’ve missed this...I’ve missed you...you truly? Truly do still love me?..after all this time? After what I’ve become?

(More sighs and slow kissing)

I don’t know what I did to deserve any sort of devotion like this....but...thank you. I’ve missed you, I love you, you truly don’t know how much I do...

Can we stay like this? I know, I’m letting cold into your home, just being here with the door open. But...I need this, I just don’t want to be anywhere other than your arms in this moment...

(Relaxing sigh)

I dreamed of this, you know? Almost every night after I’d left, I would dream of all our moments together. Like laying together in bed..making love. Or just remembering how it felt to be held. I really didn’t expect to feel this again...

[he notices the protrusion of your belly]

(Small nervous chuckle)

Ah..yes...I was going to mention it, but I supposed you noticed it now, didn’t you? I uhm...well...a few days before I was to lead the charge, I became rather sick and my appetite changed. At first, I thought I’d been overcome by an illness, but..when I went to the field doctors and they inspected me...well...the first thing they asked me, was when the last time I bled was.

(Small chuckle)

That was when I realized...it was late. And realized what that meant. That night we had together, and what I said before I left...I never imagined it would happen..but it did..it has...I’m uh...I’m carrying your child.

(Sheepish chuckle, before small sound of pain)

No, I’m alright. It’s just...I suppose everything hurts, at this point. I should probably come in side.

(Sound of door closing)

(Relaxing sigh)

It looks just as cozy as the last time I was here..and..do you perhaps..well...have a glass of that incredible milk?

(Giggles)

Sorry. I know It’s rude to just come back after all this time and ask for things, but, I’ve practically been dreaming of that too.
