CHAPTER TWO

...Thousands of miles away in England, convocation ceremony of graduates.

*

''Williams?'' Theodore catches up with him as they move down to the hall as other students assemble.

William turns halfway staring back at his friend reaching as he struggles to wear his gown and place his cap on his head.

''Theodore, I didn't think you would make it down to your graduation ceremony''

''Ah!! I almost didn't. Cynthia..'' He screws up his face.

''I thought it was Maggi'' Williams chuckles

''Aha! I knew she didn't taste like a Cynthia. ''

Williams laughs ''Oh Theodore the man-slut, I wonder how your parents would feel if they get to hear about your exploits in England. Your Mother would be horrified!!''

Theodore chuckles after he succeeded in placing the cap appropriately and adjusting his gown, He steps in line with Williams as they sink into the crowd, walking between seats to get a spot among their colleagues.

''The Earl of Greenwich North of Warwick would not concern himself with some sublime behavior of his son and his Countess would be too busy with her handmaidens and things of the Royal court and the Queen to be bothered about her son who is cities far away. Infact, I bet you she is preparing a damsel for me right as we speak to get me married up and confined to a life of abstinence and boredom''

Williams laughs ''That would be perfect for you. Fourscore years here and all I see you do is chase around skirts and no time to study the good book of science. Theodore, you have failed in the art of understanding science but I congratulate you on winning the art of ''women-ology''..i bet your body count would be rounding up to a thousand if I am not mistaken!''

''Aha!! I am just a man Williams, I do not have the strength of gods!!''

''Even gods would bow before you saying ''Oh Mighty Theodore, the woman slidder, offer me your wisdom so I can bed so many damsels spread out in my court at will as you do without much of a fuss..teach us how to beckon to them with our scent the way you do and give us the understanding to be out the door the next day and still not be able to be tied and tossed into the ocean after bringing one too many hearts. Oh Mighty Theodore, the last woman slidder..teach us!'' Williams mocked.

Theodore laughed ''You are a horrid fellow William. But..i must claim my title gladly. It is not every day a man gets to be recognized for his swift charming nature. You cannot blame me, the ladies love me.'' He smiles as a beautiful girl turns to him, she blows him a kiss, he winks at her ''They do love me''

''Sadly they do. ''

''All because I do not turn them away the way you do''

''Indeed, men like me are rare''

''Hey, look at who is talking, two nights ago I saw Kimberly leaving your chambers in all smiles ''

''I am more discreet in my endeavors Theo. I am not a male gigolo like you are. And I like my women..pristine, beautiful, intelligent, smart..submissive,..and they are only a handful of them here and unlike you Theo, I came to study and make my papa proud. Which I have done''

''Hmm, and in-between you taste the forbidden fruit and savor it as richly as you would do the royal banquet''

William laughs 'You have such a dirty mind Theo''

''I learned from the best''

''No! You learned what you wanted to learn. See how the student became the master and to think i just showed you books I stumbled upon from the library of Esquire Michel''

''All hail Master Theodore then''

William scoffs.

''You know Williams, we would be going back ?''

''Hmm''

''What next?''

''Haaaa! What next if not to assume the responsibilities of a Duke's son. But I have told Papa that I would do things my way. Such primitive lifestyle and thinking are not of my will. While my Brother chooses the life of staying back at Worcestershire, I wanted to travel the world, and be educated outside of Worcestershire, and I have. I also want to bring down some new teachings and i would not be secluded to the life that they have all lived by''

''If only things would be as you say''

''I am not talking about changing the kingdom, that is the king's duty. I am only talking about our royal province, the part my father rules over''

''Ha! I see.''

''Yes''

The dean of the faculty is calling out names and congratulating outstanding students.

''You do realize that before you would be given the ground to make changes, you need to be initiated into the court''

''Which court?''

''Of men?''

''How so?''

''They did that to your brother, he now has two scalawags running around the courthouses and a third on the way''

Williams smiles ''Ha, my favorite nieces, I miss them.'' Then he frowns ''Nooooo Papa would not dare. I am not a child that they would pick out my food to eat. I pick what I like. They would never do that''

''Then stick to being the rascal that you are, go home, enjoy the land..grow old and chase the skirts forever like me.'' Theodore smiles winking.

''No..I may die out of too much humping on a lady''

''That is the life Williams, that is the life. Heaven between a woman's thighs, that pearly gates ..such sweetness. Aha!!!''

''Dear God Theodore, I must take you to the confession priest at once. I am even surprised you made it to where I stand''

''Cynthia was heaven brother, I would miss her''

''Maggie''

''Same thing! there was a Cynthia, a ..Karen and those twins with the most between twin towers as high as the castle of Worcestershire and then...''

''999 other females that cannot be named?'' Williams has laughter in his eyes.

''Ah! true, true''

''Would you still have enough left to father rascals yourself?'

Theodore grabs his nuts under his cloth, his face aghast ''Do you think...that it is possible I may have over-spilled my royal oats?''

Williams throws his head back in laughter ''Dear God Theodore..your father would be furious!!''

''You wouldn't tell him would you, just in case i marry a wee tiny fat cow and I am not able to churn out a copycat of me..we can always come borrow one of your royal seeds if your damsel gets around to churning out twins''

''Or we can just milk the cow to birth one for you..we have alot in the farm back at Worcestershire''

''You cunt!!'' Theodore grabs his head by wrapping his arms around his neck. Williams laughs doing thesame with him as they struggle playfully.

''And with the most outstanding grade three years strong, i present to you, Williams De Beaumont''

''Aha! Your award awaits son. Go go!!!'' Theodore releases him as friends and colleagues turn to clap and usher him downstairs to the stage as he goes to shake the dean, receive his award, and get worn his chain of excellence ''

''That my best friend!!'' Theodore claps cheering loudly above the others, he whistles.

Williams waves and then join the others standing at the corner until they finishing called the outstanding students. ''And for the graduates from the third class..we have Theodore Neville asq...step forward please''

Williams smiles as he watches his friend take the stage, he gives him a thumbs up with a huge smile.

The ceremony continues.

*

Theodore grabs the letter from William's hand and then goes through it ''Hmm, they waste no time do they?''

''It was to be expected. Home I go''

''Well, I told the Earl not to bother sending for me, I would ride back with you. If that is okay ?''

'' Don't be ridiculous, of course you can.''

''No i know I can but I thought you might want to take along some cushions from the state to warm you while you float above the ground, that is all. See, I am considerate''

''Really, you think the Lord Duke would be happy to see foreign females in his province without being pre-informed?''

''Well..he may not mind. Tell him it is a souvenir from the state, your gift of excellence''

Williams laughs placing his packed box on the floor. ''Ha, Lord Duke is a very traditional man Theo, sometimes it is best not to annoy him.''

The knock on the door causes them to pause. It opens and someone walks in and smiles ..''So i heard you are going back home tomorrow?''

Theodore smiles and whistles ''And yet he claims I am the one with the more skirts''

''Get out Theo!!'' Williams chuckles.

''Oh, i am leaving i am leaving '' He smiles at the girl, and then goes behind her, he makes sex faces and movements. She turns, he turns away quickly and points at the ceiling, Williams laughs.

''Out Theo!!''

''Sheesh, relax son, that bad huh...i got extra con- '' he coughs '' if you need'em. Just howl like a wolf and i will come like Tarzan to the rescue''

''What?'' she laughs

Williams grabs an empty box of cards and tosses it. It hits the door as Theodore rushes out laughing.

He smiles at her, she at him. She leans back and then locks the door.

''I came to say goodbye'' She closes the distance to him.

''Hmm..oh, it would be well-received'' They kiss and sink into the bed.

*

''Why are you crying Theodore?'' She was seated on the bed. He had called her barely a few minutes ago.

''Because I am leaving, going back to the dead village. And...I will miss you my sweet Monalisa''

''Tina Theodore!''

''I know.'' Then he screws up his face and causes his lips to quiver '''Oh. it's so painful and I love it here. I love you!''

''Aww, poor baby. So you wouldn't be here for my birthday?''

''I cannot, the King, summoned me. You know I am his right hand, ever since I was a boy. He has no son you see, and ..i have to take on responsibilities too much for a child. Now i must return and take my place as his hand.''

''Such a big role''

''I know,''

''Is that why you are crying?''

He nods sniffing ''Because it would be so tasking I wouldn't be able to leave and come see you and these..beautiful beautiful angels staring at me so...tempting ''He smiles at her chest, she smiles..

''You wanna say goodbye to Tin and Tinna?''

He nods ''You should have just said so''

He smiles as he takes off her top and strips.

''Oh, my fair maiden Monalisa, by God they do not have fair maidens like you in the whole of Worcestershire..

''Oh i love it when you speak in your mother tongue''

''Aye, the beautiful damsel Monalisa, take me to heaven, sink me into your folds while I ride into the chariots to heaven...oh let me drink from the peak of such goodness and be filled..ah my Monalisa..even the angels would be jealous of such perkiness'''

''Oh kiss me already Theo..''

''Aye!!''

He pulls her to him and crushes her with his lips.

Soon she is giggling and moaning.
