Three peas in a Pod?

On the her way to town to choice a store front, "Hmm this one is in the commoner village, they would be most in need and desire it then it should reach the nobles." Walking around in her swordswomen clothes with sword and speed readers hooked upon her front.

Walking through unaware of her surroundings, just as she stops in front of the store front she wants, "Stop you suspicious women, lay down your weapon".

A man young and handsome, dare to say absolutely ravaging to the eyes, holding a large sword to Retha. Before she even turns she takes flight with her sword still sheath, she then goes over head and strikes his back.

Unable to block and frozen from shock, " How could I be bested by a woman, I am to be the best in this kingdom who is she?" Smiling as she's finally got to test what's she's trained for against the very one it's supposed to defeat, "Hello Jake, don't you remember me?", the tone of a proud and strong that will not yield, a sassy woman ringing in his ears.

He turns in shock to see, "Retha my apologies, I had no idea that you dress like that now or carried a sword." Excitement, sheepishly bright red of a warrior, something very few may see and so I smile, inciting misfortune and a desperate end for him.

Just as if by some foul spirit or one of fortune Allen and Issac also appear from opposite directions. Jake normal wanders about to stop robbers and other crimes, Issac must be coming from or leaving the library and Allen enjoys running from the palace while he can.

I wonder " Just what is my lucky I would have never thought." "Jake to raise your weapon to a lady, especially Lady Retha." " Man that is Retha. Hey why are you dressed like that and in the village of all places?"

I scoff, " O my is it not this kingdoms biggest idiots, three peas in a pod? Hmm I guess my lucky is shot." Stunned and confused, Issac sighs " Retha so not your self today, must you lower your dignity in front of others?"

O what should I do I met them all too soon, " Well sir Issac, you have lowered your dignity by not humbling oneself before an adversary of higher knowledge."

Taken back, Allen laughs, " First you play tricks on Jake and now you even try to say you are better than Issac. I have never known Lady Retha for such jokes."

Glaring, " I'm sick of you man if you guys have something else to say, say so at my banquet tomorrow. I have business today." I walk off to set up and pay for my store front.

Pondering as they go separate ways, " Why has Retha become this way? I do wonder." I begin to settle for the first day of running a shop. I advertised the low price and the healing it could do, I also give out free samples to the local commoner. With this I also gave them invitations to my banquet along with some of my older dresses and other sizes.

"I hope you ladies can come, the Vanguard manor would love to have you all." Everyone left the shop today happy knowing it wouldn't be open tomorrow.

I close up shop and gets ready to leave for the day.

I begin my journey home, giggling and with a dancers agility I wonder about. I make it about halfway home when I see some lesser Noblemen forcing themselves on two girls that just came from my shop. "Hey freak shows, those dresses may look pretty and be for sale but that don't mean everything pretty is for sale!"

They turn and look at each other laughing, " What do we have here the most eligible bachelorette has come playing knight in shining armor, it's cute." "Why don't you show us your moves and we'll let them go if you can give us some fun."

What sickos, I guess one thing will never change disgusting men, " Look you like princes should leave the streets to those who can rock them well, which newsflash isn't you."

Man did they think I was playing, I mean yeah sure Penelope was never like this and left soo much up to those idoits of male leads to handle it makes me sick.

" Ladies you are free to go, I'll handle the whole lot of them. So get ready for the ball and we'll met again my fair maids." Smiling and coming closer, "Now why don't you put down that act and remember your women's etiquette."

Smirking, "Does the women's etiquette say I should just let men do as whatever they want to me. Because if it does," laughing " I don't think I need to follow a book that lame."

"Aww lady Retha with such a sharp tongue how will any man ever want you?" "Do even you trash bins." They start reaching and grabbing at me. I leap into the air beating the three of their backs with my sheath.

" Damn you nasty women, now we are going to ruin you." "We could have just played a little too bad." " Don't worry I'll still take you are my wife, you are the best women after all."

Damn it's like they are itching for a beating, " Hahaha, men like you make me see red. Don't blame me for not holding back." Retha with all her might takes flight strike them one at a time. Beats the first crossed the chest, the second kicked hard in back and the last an elbow to the nose.

" Damn you" " Yeah who named you the best women" " Guys let's get out of here!" They start running, just then the male leads come and 'cleans them up'.

Just how will she handle these male leads taking the spotlight? Find out in chapter 5
