You were snuggled up in a big chair inside of the castle library, enjoying a fine tale of dragons, magic swords, and a mesmerizing romance between a king and a wood nymph. You were just getting to the good part, where the king confesses his love for the spirit woman. Needless to say, you were enraptured by the story. Another important fact was that you liked reading books aloud, mostly the dramatic parts. It was at this  dramatic moment that the doors quietly opened, making almost no sound.

"Helen, my darling, words fail to even describe the depths of my love for you. Your presence alone makes my heart quiver and my tongue becomes numb from the pounding of my soul. Tell me, most fair Helen, do you love me?" You read aloud, not even noticing the intruder that had snuck behind a nearby bookshelf to listen. You continued to read, only stopping to fan yourself and wipe a few tears that began to trickle down your cheeks. A few pages later, you came to end.

"And so, the king found his queen, and they lived happily ever after." You sighed softly and smiled dreamily as you closed the book.

"My lady, that was lovely." Your heart jumped and you lifted your head, only to make eye contact with (the handsome, gorgeous, one and only) Éomer.

"My lord Éomer! You startled me!" You put a hand on your chest and laughed nervously.

"I beg your pardon, my lady, for startling you. I heard a voice inside of this room and I entered, only to find you, sitting here and reading aloud. Forgive me for intruding, but it was quite...enrapturing." You blushed.

"Thank you. Perhaps next time you would like to join me rather than sneak up on me?" His eyes brightened and he smiled widely.

"I would like that very much, lady Y/n." You smiled sweetly at him and stood to your feet to return the book to its shelf.

"Do call me Y/n. I prefer Y/n over 'my lady'." You said in a friendly tone. He nodded absentmindedly.

"If I am to call you Y/n, you must call me Éomer rather than 'my lord'." He replied, reciprocating your friendly tone.

"Alright then, Éomer. I look forward to seeing you next time." You said, smiling all the while. He walked closer to where you stood and took your hand, kissing it softly. A tingle went up your arm and your heartbeat quickened at his touch.

"Are you free in the evenings after supper?" Éomer questioned you.

"Yes."

"Then I shall meet you here?" You nodded.

"Good." You heard Éowyn calling your name from the hallway. You suddenly remembered the feast that evening.

"Oh dear, how foolish of me! I completely forgot the feast this evening!" You laughed awkwardly.

"May I be your escort tonight, fairest Y/n?" Éomer blurted out suddenly. You were slightly surprised at his eagerness, but felt that strange beating of your heart again. What was wrong with you?

"I would like that." You replied softly.

"So, until tonight?" He asked giving you one of his winning grins.

"Until tonight." The words felt like sugar on your lips, sweet and inviting. You left the room to prepare for the evening's festivities after curtsying slightly and he watched you leave with the biggest smile on his face. He just couldn't wait till that evening. As for you...well, you were enraptured!
