âSir are you finished in thereâ¦.your father wishes for you to hurry,â came the voice of the chamber maid. The middle aged woman was talking to a pair of oaken doors. This was the room to the crown prince, Prince Tamlen. The boy was frantic âOne moment Gertrude!â he shouted from behind the door. He was dressing into his formal attire as best he could. He was in such a hurry because that day was his seventeenth birthday, and seventeen was a very important year any male, it was the year a boy was considered an adult.
It was many hours after that he was seated in the grand hall of the castle. Minstrels were playing, jesters whereâ¦jesting, and other forms of entertainment and merriment could be hear echoeing off the walls and from the windows. The food was all spread out, the wine and ale ran freely for his guests. Many things where all happening at once that there did not seem to be a care in the world.
Tamlen however sat, the figure of composure and utmost patients. Of course he was much like any other child on their birthday, his adolescent mind was thinking and pondering of the most important part ofa birthday celebration. The gifts.
