Chapter Two – Brotherly Advice
****
It was already late in the day; the sky was beginning to change into varying shades of pinks, oranges and purples. This was his favorite time of day, right before the sun sinks past the horizon and the sky becomes a deep blue.
Rupert Giles sight softly as he thought of what the upcoming months would bring. He knew of the main reason he was invited to spend the summer on the castle grounds was to begin his courtship of the fair Elizabeth. Her eternal beauty and unique personality was well known all throughout Europe.
Giles silently chuckled as he thought of his Buffy. Though she wasn’t technically his, he still thought of her that way. Just the thought of his sweet girl with another made his blood run hot. It wasn’t always like this, once his feelings for the princess were pure friendship but over time they changed dramatically.
In the beginning when she was promised to him, he absently accepted the gift. His wife had just died and he was now alone. So his thoughts were not focused on finding a new bride.
Eventually time passed, he moved on and Buffy began to grow up. At first the attraction was her personality and wit. He had never met another like her, young or old. She was also a very pretty child with bright green eyes, sun kissed skin and hair spun of golden silk. All too soon she grew into an even more beautiful young woman.
Her thirst for knowledge also excited him to no end. Even his late wife Jenny was a typical noblewoman. Rupert knew, even understood why things were the way they were; he just sometimes wished for something…new, fresh…different.
He was pulled his musings by the sound of his brother’s horse crossing the estate. Ethan Rayne Giles, he was Rupert’s older brother. Even though he was the older of the two, Ethan was the least responsible. So when their father had past on, in his last will and testament it asked for Rupert Anthony Giles to inherit everything, the estate, the money and his title. Ethan had no qualms about the arrangement as long as he was still well taken care of.
Ethan and his prized jet black mare came to a stop only a few feet away from where Rupert stood.
“Did you have a good ride; you’ve been gone all day.” Giles said
Ethan smiled as he dismounted his horse. He would never date tell his brother how much he envied him. Rupert was a regular guest at the royal castle and he was probably going to wed on of the most beautiful women to he’s ever seen…no he wasn’t bitter.
“That I have, it was such a lovely day…you should’ve joined me” he responded as he went to seat himself on one of the benches.
Rupert gave a small smile as he went to sit across from his brother “yes well…I would’ve loved to go, but don’t you remember…I leave tonight for the summer with their highnesses”
Ethan’s lips curved into a small smirk “Oh, I remember. Such a cross to bear…spending three months with the beautiful, absolutely breathtaking Princess Elizabeth…quick someone hand him, put him out of his misery before it is too late” he drawled sarcastically
Giles just quirked an eyebrow and pursed his lips, after only a moment or so. “ha bloody ha…” Giles paused, a wicked grin gracing his features “Baa…” He never gotfinifinish his statement because of his dear brother’s outburst “Don’t. You. Dare. You swore to take that secret to the grave”
Rupert could no longer contain his laughter, Ethan had the ugliest scowl on his face and his face had turned an interesting shade of red.
“Go ahead, laugh it up!”
After Rupert’s laughter had died and Ethan had gained control of his temper the conversation became serious.
“So what are you going to do about Elizabeth? Only a select few know that she belongs to you and she isn’t even one of them”
Rupert sighed heavily. “I know and I just don’t know what to do yet, I mean…if Buffy ever found out…well she’d kill me.” After a brief pause he finished his thought “Literally”
Ethan smiled at this; not many know, in fact…no one did. Elizabeth was completely in love with his brother. The signs were there you just had to look. He did have to give the lass credit, she hid it well.
“I wouldn’t worry too much about it mate. Besides look at it this way, if she does beat you into a bloody pulp, she’ll be your nursemaid until you’re well again.” He gave Giles a look that suggested a hidden meaning in his statement.
Rupert laughed at his brother’s antics and threw a stray piece of cloth at him. Ethan just laughed and strolled into the house leaving his brother with his thoughts.
Only fifteen minutes after his brother left him, his personal attendant, Quentin informed him that the carriage was ready. Rupert dismissed him with a wave. With one last look toward the now darkened horizon, Giles turned and headed toward London and his princess.
