Clara would be lying to herself if she if didn't believe that she had feelings for you. From the moment you were appointed to protect her, she's only ever admired you from a distance. And soon... the admiration grew into something... more.
From fantasies to daydreaming, it was difficult for her to deny it. If only her fantasies could be complete if she knew the face of the one she dreams of. Rarely does she get that chance -to see you without your sallet (helmet.) But today? Today she changes that.
A trip down to memory lane, Clara, accompanied by her knight, took a trip down to the country side to a field, full of greenery and flowers, where she, when she was but a little girl, used to love to runaround in play.
She stepped off the carriage, eyes wide and alive as she slipped off her shoes, feeling the grass beneath her feet.
The sky was large and blue, the clouds white and pure. The field stretched before her, beautiful as she remembered. She ran, she laughed, but in the middle of it all, she turned to you, where held yourself back by the carriage, posture straight, on guard.
She smiled, only briefly before she let out a startled gasp as she fell. You rushed over, but what she had planned took you by surprise.
Clara tricked you.
She jumped, toppling you both over the ground and laughed more.
THUMP!
Her laughter died down and her eyes grew wide at the face beneath her. She blinked, once, twice, before muttering gently, "You're a..." She spoke, "woman?" It was only then did you realize your sallet had fallen off.
