Eric - A Fairy Tale revisited and then some Chapter 3
Lady Gertrude was in a rage as she and her sons rode back to the manor for one last time. This time under what seemed to be a guard. Even Wulfgan was not permitted to go to his home right then. The Duke had arranged for safe passage of his wife, child and staff from his estate. He would be greeted by the sheriff and divested of his property and like his mother exiled.
Since she had an estate by her previous marriage that she still maintained in a nearby Mark, that was where she would go, Wulfgan with her. His estate would be given to his wife.
They were almost home when a horseman leading a riderless horse caught them and removed Wilhelm from the party, with no explanation given. The horseman and Wilhelm rode back to the palace.
Lady Gertrude could only think that he was being held hostage to ensure her departure. She looked grimly at her elder son. "What can that mean?"
Wulfgan was angry but he had never had any love for his brother so cared little if he was hurt or killed. "What care I?" he retorted "Some vain attempt by the duke to frighten us. Well I expect I will go to my home as soon as we get to the house, you can do whatever you wish."
As the carriage pulled up to the house however Wulfgan was presented with an order of eviction and exile under penalty of death. Wulfgan roared in rage but to no avail. He and his mother were put under guard as their things were collected for them by the servants. The Duke had arranged for Wulfgan's wife to pack his goods and have them sent to their ancestoral home where they were being sent
They were given a meal to travel with, and by late afternoon they were on their way, under guard to the border of the Duchy. The next morning they arrived at the border, having travelled all night. Rikard who had been assigned the authority and responsibility of delivering them to the border reminded them both that they were never to set foot in the duchy again under threat of death. They crossed the border and Rikard watched them continue down the road. The border guards were told to be especially vigilant for the next while for any attempt by Wulfgan especially to return and reap vengeance on his family and estate and Duke.
While Gertrude and Wulfgan set off from what had been her home, Richard and Eric rode off from the Duke's Palace to the new estate. They arrived in the courtyard of the Manor. It was beautifully situated with gardens and trees abounding. They were met by the chief steward of the estate to whom Richard presented the writ of transfer of ownership.
The Steward introduced himself and ushered them into the house. Eric had him call for the servants to meet them in the main hall.
When they had all assembled, he suddenly was over come by fear, not knowing what to say.
Taking a deep breathe he said "I am Eric son of Sir Robert, I am the new Master of this house and Estate." He paused his mind racing. What should he be saying to these people who were obviously more in awe of the young Duke than him.
"I would like to see the place and we will be having our evening meal here so please have something prepared in the dining room at the bell of the evening vespers. You are dismissed to do your tasks, I thank you for your service to Sir Dirk, I trust that you will serve me as well as you did him."
Turning to the Steward he said "I would like a tour of the house now if you are able to oblige"
The man bowed and then led them through the house.
It took at least an hour or more to take the tour. When they were done Eric thanked the man. "I wish to have an apartment prepared for myself to be ready for this evening. Sir Richard will also be spending the night and will require chambers next to mine."
The Steward bowed and turned to leave, Eric added. "Oh please send a courier to the Palace to inform the Duke that M'Lord Richard will not be returning home this night. Thank you."
The two men spent the rest of the day wandering about the immediate property around the Manor, enjoying the gardens. Behind the manor there was an extensive maze with high hedges. Well inside the maze, Eric turned to Richard, with tears in his eyes he looked up into Richard's face. "My Lord I thank you , I thank you so much for your kindness to me. I do not deserve your honour and your love."
The two men embraced. Electric pulses passed between them as they shared their love for each other that had been growing as the day progressed. They stood there kissing and hugging for some time.
"Tonight my Lord" Eric said finally "I wish to show you the love that your knight Sir Eric has for you in the fullness of his fervour" He reached down and gently caressed his hand over Sir Richard's cod piece. Returning through the maze the way they had come, they walked back hand in hand stopping every now and then to kiss again. So much in love were these two young men.
Richard knew that he had found the mate of his soul for life in this young master. He knew that he never wanted to lose him. They would have to work out how they would always remain together come what may.
As they came to entrance to the maze they let go their hands. Richard clasped his hands behind him and they continued to walk back toward the Manor house enjoying each other's company.
The house keeper met them at the main door, and welcomed them in.
"Sir Eric, My Lord, your chambers are ready. I have asked two of the man servants to tend to you. I took the liberty of having them prepare baths for you so that you may make ready for the evening meal."
"Thank you" said Eric "and you are?"
"I am Peter sir, I was the chief butler to Sir Dirk" (Peter crossed himself as he mentioned the Old Knight's name)
Eric smiled "And how long have been in service here?"
"These 20 years Sir"
"Then if Sir Dirk saw no need to change your service neither do I, if you are willing you shall continue to serve me as chief butler.
"Thank you Sir" Peter showing his happiness and relief.
"Now then please show us to our chambers."
Peter somewhat lighter in step with the news that he would not be losing his employment led the way up the grand staircase to the rooms he had prepared for the two gentlemen.
"I took the liberty Sir to use this apartment this evening, there is a common sitting room and private rooms for each of you in the one apartment. The evening meal will be ready shortly sir, will you be eating in the dining room or here?"
I think I would like to eat in the dining room Peter, you may send for us when the meal is to be served."
"Very well Sir"
Peter left the room.
They went first in to Eric's bedchamber. In the middle of the floor sat a large tub from which steam was rising. The was a boy about Eric's age emptying a bucket of water into it.
The boy froze when he noticed that the two men were in the room. He immediately bowed his head.
"Uh. your bath is ready sir. you need only tell me when you are finished and I will come and empty it sir."
"What is your name boy?" Eric asked acknowledging the tub and the boy's information.
"Andr e sir, my brother Frankl is filling my Lord's bath in his room sir."
"How old are you Andr e?"
"I'm sixteen this year sir, my bother is 15"
"Thank you, does Peter need you for anything else?"
"He told us to tend to you sirs"
"Good, in that case you may wait quietly outside the door until we are done. I will call you back in when I need you again."
"Yes Sir" the boy bowed and left the room carrying the bucket.
A moment later a younger Frankl emerged from Richard's room.
"You must be Frankl, is the Duke's bath ready then?"
"Frankl paled somewhat "Yes Sir, all is ready sir"
That is good you may wait quietly outside the door with your brother until we call you in again.
As the door closed Eric smiled at Richard. "Nice looking young men, it would be interesting to have them washing us, would it not, but tonight I want you all to myself."
Richard laughed, "Yes both are quite interesting, perhaps another time I am here we can use their services"
"You can count on it my servants are yours, as long as you expect to have to share and as long as you remember that it is my bed you will always come back to."
Richard laughed again. Knowing that they had limited time to get cleaned up they decided to just quickly wash and dress on their own.
They had just called the boys back in to clean up the tubs when there was a soft knock at the door. It was Peter informing them that the meal was to be served.
"Peter, are Andr e and Frankl reliable young men?"
"Quite sir, from what I have seen. Sir Dirk brought them into his service as his pages about 3 years ago. He never complained about them, they were always at his beck and call when he was in house."
"I would like them at my service as well Peter, when I am in house. They may tend us this evening after they have removed the bath tubs."
"Very good sir"
The meal was wonderful. They were about halfway through when the boys appeared to attend to the young men.
They took their places at the wall behind each man. Ready to add or remove a dish or serve some wine. Finally Eric called them both forward to stand before him and Richard. They studied the boys. Both were quite handsome. Eric had not noticed just how fair they were. There was a clear family resemblance
"So Andr e, Frankl, you have worked for Sir Dirk is that correct?"
"Yes Sir"
"And what did you do for Sir Dirk?"
The boys looked at each other. Eric and Richard both noticed a slight blush on their cheeks, then Andr e turned to Eric and said "We saw to Sir Dirk's, needs and comforts sir."
The two men smiled at each other. There were rumours about that Sir Dirk was without heirs for reason. He was never known to be out with the local wenches even when he was younger.
"I will be keeping you on to serve me, you may now leave us, we will not be needing you tonight, but you will be ready to be present to help us in the morning."
Eric smiled at the boys and then his countenance turned very serious as he continued: "As My Lord Richard and I will be discussing matters that could relate to state and since you may become by your presence privy to such information nothing that you see or hear in my or our presence must ever be repeated to anyone. If you fail in this you will suffer death, I will not tolerate traitors in my household. Do you understand?"
Both boys paled visibly at the sudden change in the new Knight's demeanour and tone. "Y..y..yes Sir" they both said.
"Fine see that you do, you are dismissed, we will see you at the crowing of the cock in the morning."
The boys bowed and fled the hall.
Richard chuckled: "That put the fear of death in their hearts, I'm sure our secrets will be safe with them."
"I will need them on my side. They may prove to be good companions, and keep an eye on Wilhelm for me as well. Let us retire."
"You are not sure about Wilhelm?" asked Richard
"I'm not sure, while he certainly has some of the haughtiness of his mother and older brother, I do not believe that he is without the possibility of conversion. His brother would beat him as much as me. In some ways he suffered under his mother as I did. I wish to give him a chance, I think there is some good in him." Eric paused thoughtfully "But yet. he is still the son of Lady Gertrude, I will be watching him closely certainly for the first while. Perhaps it also would be good to have him here as a guarantee against her coming back.
"You are a good man Eric, in spite of the life you have been given, I will give you all the aid you require with this" Richard swept his arm to encompass the new property Eric was now "lord" of as it were " and with Wilhelm"
The two men walked into Eric's apartment together. As the door closed Eric took Richard into his arms and they kissed long and deep. Eric led his "Lord" in to the bedchamber, and slowly undressed him.
From there Richard took command. He in turn undressed his young knight retainer. Then he led him to the bed and lay him down.
"My young Eric" he whispered "How I love you, how I want to consume you with my love and make you mine as a man would his woman."
"Ohhnn my Lord I want you to take me and make me yours. I am your dear servant my Lord Richard" Eric moaned as Richard sucked his swollen member into his mouth.
Richard sucked briefly on the delicious flesh that throbbed in his mouth, but then he slipped off and nuzzled the soft ball sack that lay beneath the rod. And urging with his movement for Eric to lift his leg some he eagerly sought further yet and with his tongue began to lick Eric beneath the ball sac finding the soft but firm opening there.
Eric moved his legs and body to give him complete access. The sensation and feel of his lover so intimately touching him with his hands and mouth lifted him into an ethereal veil of pleasure.
He lay there on the bed his legs up over Richards shoulders. He could feel Richard's tongue probing at his opening which was pulsing with blissful torment. His body twitched as he felt his Lord's tongue slide in and out of his opening.
Richard stopped for a moment and manoeuvred a bit. Then Eric felt something harder and bigger than Richards tongue enter him. At the same time Richard had moved up and hovering over him had once again taken his member into his mouth. Eric's hips were now involuntarily moving up and down to the ministrations of Richards; mouth and what he realized now was a finger.
They continued like this for several moments before Richard replace one finger with two. Eric felt the discomfort of it but that was quickly forgotten as Richard resumed sucking and licking his member and ball sac, murmuring his words of love and desire for him.
"Now I am going to love you to the depths my dear dear man" Whispered Richard . He pulled himself up higher, lifting Eric's hips as he did. "You lay back my love as I fill you with mine" Richard smiled down at the beautiful lad beneath him. He spit on his hand and coated his hugely hard member. He brought it to the entrance of Eric's well prepared opening. Gently pushing against it he slowly entered him.
Eric at first felt a searing pain, but looking up at Richard's loving adoring face smiling down at him he chose to fight the pain, to see beyond it. The pain subsided more quickly than he thought it would. As Richard slowly and gently slid into him his opening relaxed and accepted the intrusion.
Richard for his part could not believe the exquisite pleasure that was his as his member slid in and then began to move up and down in his lover. He knew that he would not last long. His young man was moaning in pleasure and moving his hips in time with his own fucking.
The two groaned out loud, as Eric feeling the heat of Richard's seed flooding him gave way to his own explosion of love. His seed covered both of them, their chests and faces as his member spurted out his love.
Richard collapse on top of Eric who clasped him to himself with his legs and arms. They lay there for several moments still joined as they let the moment pass. Eric kissed Richard deeply, their tongues playing a slow sleepy dance. As Richard's member was released he crawled up to lay beside Eric and in each other's arms they fell asleep.
Richard was the first to be awakened the next morning with a gently shaking at his shoulder. "My Lord Richard it is time to get up" came a soft whispering voice. And then another from somewhere also very close, m'Lord Eric, it is time sir, the cock is crowing"
As Richard opened his eyes he realized that he as naked and his arms entwined in Eric's. He looked up at the voices and saw first Frankl and then Andr e. Both boys were smiling down at them.
The men sat up trying to get the cobwebs out of their minds. They looked at each other and grinned somewhat embarrassed but made no attempt to cover themselves up.
The boys satisfied that the men were awake quickly went to the table and picked up a laver each with warm water and a sheepskin cloth and having the men stand up began to wash them. They washed first their faces and worked down their chests finally carefully making sure that the members which by now were totally erect were cleaned to the base.
The boys were clearly interested in what they were doing. They were kneeling before the men as they worked. Richard gently putting a hand on Frankl's head said simply "You may if you like" and raised an eyebrow at the lad as he looked up at him.
Frankl looked over at his brother Andr e, grinned and then with a look of pure ecstacy slid his mouth over Richard's cockhead.
Andr e looked up at Eric and receiving a nod did the same. The feel of the hot, wet, young mouth expertly working up and down his member soon sent Eric over the edge, delivering a mighty load of his seed in the young boy's mouth. Andr e drank the liquid down greedily. Richard was not far behind and Frankl was not to be without a generous portion of his love meal.
When they were finished the boys finished their wash and stood up to remove the water from the room. As Andr e left he announced that they would be back shortly to dress them and that a breakfast would then be brought in to them.
Richard and Eric were still in a daze from the experience.
"You do not want to lose those boys Eric, they are amazing" breathed Richard. They kissed and were kissing as the boys came back in. The men allowed themselves to be dressed and then went to the table in the main room of the apartment, that was being set by two serving girls. Frankl and Andr e carefully over saw the whole process quite expertly. When all was set they dismissed the girls and bade the men to sit, Richard by his station at the head of the table.
Andr e stood behind Eric and Frankl close behind Richard, seeing to their needs.
After breakfast the men stood up and Eric informed the boys that they would be leaving and that he would not be back probably for several days. They were to see to his rooms and he would send a message through Peter to them when he was to return.
A short time later Richard and Eric were riding through the countryside toward the Palace. As they rode they talked about the estates and how Eric should be administering them. What he should be looking for, what he should expect.
"I am of course fortunate in that at least with my Father's estate I have a good steward in Johan, and from what I see at Sir Dirk's Manor the Steward and Peter seem to have everything in hand. However I do want to go over the ledgers and accounts. I need to know what the property is worth, how many peasants and townspeople I have. What of the land and income from that land." Said Eric, obviously excited at the prospect of owning so much land.
As they rode Eric decided he had to return to his home before he went to the Palace. They stopped at the riverside parting of the road. "I must go to my home to speak to Johan, My Lord Richard, if you will allow me. I will join you at the palace by mid afternoon when we will talk to young Wilhelm."
Richard leaned from his horse and they kissed. "Eric, alone you may call me Richard, it is only in the presence of others that we need to keep the distinction of rank apparent in your address. I love you my dear Eric, you may go but I will long for you till you return." They kissed and went their separate ways both men light in heart as only a man in love can know.
Eric was greeted by Johan and the Cook and other servants as he rode into the courtyard. They cheered him.
Johan helped him down. "M'lord Eric, it is good to see you once again as lord of the manor. You must know sir that in our hearts you were always lord here."
Eric hugged the older man, who had been with the family for many years. Then he hugged and greeted all of them. "I am hungry Cook, let us go into the kitchen and prepare those hot cakes and jams that you are so famous for . today we will all eat together"
They all trouped into the kitchen laughing and chattering at once. Cook and two of the other girls got to work preparing the hot cakes. Eric and Johan and some of the others set the table, while yet others were sent to fetch the other household servants from the stable boys to the scullery maids. It was an interesting sight when an hour later they were all assembled with Eric still in Richard's resplendent velvets down to the field workers and stable boys, in their coarse woollens.
This day there was rejoicing the Lord was back and in charge. There was hope for the future. Eric thanked them all for their support in the last several years and offered a toast to the duke for restoring him, and then with tears in many eyes he toasted his father.
After they had eaten and everyone had dispersed Eric took Johan aside. "I need to have an accounting of the state of the estate Johan. The duke informed me that we have not paid taxes for some time. Is that true? He has forgiven them but I. I have to pay him my debts."
"I'm afraid it may well be true Master Eric" replied Johan "Lady Gertrude did not let me have anything to do with the accounts after you father died as you well know but I did try to keep track of things in my own way"
He paused and grinned at Eric. "I went into the accounting room at night. It was much easier after Wulfgan left, I was never caught but there were a few times that I was barely able to escape"
The Lady refused to pay the taxes, I know of at least two occasions that the duke's servants were sent away empty handed with only abuse heaped on them for coming to the house. It was a humiliating shame that was heaped on your father's house Master"
Eric bowed his head "Well I feel it, but we will remedy that matter and once again bring honour back to my father name and house"
"I can have the accounts in order for you by week's end Master, if that will be to your pleasure"
"That will do fine Johan, I need to know what this estate is worth, what gold and silver I have on hand and how much we are indebted to the Duke. I need to know what we need to run this Estate, and once again make it profitable as my father had made it."
Having left Johan with monumental task bringing his account in order,he gave him one more task, "Johan, you have been our most faithful servant this household, you are hereafter the Steward of the estate. Furthermore Wilhelm will be returning on the morrow, he will be my Squire and your servant, I will let him know."
Johan bowed low, "You do me great honour sir I will not fail you nor your father.
"I know that Johan" Eric lovingly embraced the dear old servant. Moments later wishing farewell to Cook with a hug, Eric took his leave promising to be back on the Sunday following after Mass.
