THE POPE'S DAUGHTER

Chapter 7 - The Tavern

Even though both were in utter pain , she showed no emotions on her face .

Mark couldn't sleep , couldn't eat . Even his life at the monastery felt at ease to him .

And on the other side , Venezia felt numb , after that night she never cried after . It felt like she has completely lost the battle of her life . She didn't talk nor felt any taste of her meals . She went through her daily schedule , emotionless .

Soon after dawn , both of thier friends understood them . Mark's friends took them to a nearby tavern to chill and daisy knew what could bring Venezia back to life .

She kneeled and removed the wooden floorboard . Then Removed two three bricks and there was it . Venezia's mighty sword , buried for an year now . She put the sword aside and out of Venezia's knowledge that she took it out .

Venezia was lying still on her bed staring at the wooden ceiling . Daisy got ready herself in disguise in a warrior suit and helped Venezia too . She didn't asked much questions .

Then daisy kneeled down in front of Venezia , who was sitting on her bedside , depressed. And handed her sword on both of her hands .

Daisy's eyes raised up and she said in deep low voice "let's go !"

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Daisy rode Venezia on her horseback and reached to a large field near a tavern .

She sat on the lush green and dewy grass and signalled Venezia to go forward .

Venezia drawed her sword up and swinged above on her head and looked up . She saw hope , she has finally found hope .

"This is not the end" she thought to herself . And then, her arm made a full circle around her body holding the sword and gracefully planted it in front of her face .

"This is just the begining" .

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

On the other hand , mark was sitting on his chair at a square table with his other three friends . One focusing on his jug of fresh ale , other jamming on the beat and the third one was just there for gambling .

Mark didn't found a filled tavern intresting for the first time . He got suffocated and asked his jamming friend that when are they gonna head back , she casually replied "we just got here!" And went back to grooving on his own .

Mark then opened the window beside him and a cold fresh breeze crossed his face . He could finally take some breather .

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

It was about to rain and daisy decided to head to a nearby tavern , taking Venezia with her .

They covered themselves perfectly , rolling a headscarf and covering half of thier face . Only thier eyes were visible and they took a manly walk when entering the tavern so that no one could recognise them or harrass them .

Daisy ordered two fresh goblet of ale herself after thinking twice and they both enjoyed it sitting at the bar counter . It started raining soon .

Daisy looked at Venezia being lost in her own thoughts and decided to not bother her .

While it was stroming outside , the tavern was filled with cold breeze with dewy smell . The Tavern was pretty medium in size , There were soggy wooden floorboard and men chatting and laughing around gambling tables in thier bold heavy voices .

Some drunkards were kept at the porch not to disturb other men of class inside . It was a well managed tavern .

Venezia was totally lost in her thoughts .

She was kept away from from the loud noises of the tavern . She kept thinking how much of a monster men . She still felt so helpless , for the cause .

After sometime , a loud thunder helped Venezia to come back to the present . She got startled and then looked around .

Daisy wasn't there.

She suddenly panicked and start to shook her head more vigoursly . This made her headscarf, let a little loose . She asked the bartender , but even he did not respond to her completely . She got more panicked and stood up . She looked around the whole tavern , and just found men rumbling .

Venezia's eyes searched the whole tavern but didn't find Daisy anywhere .

Just when Mark's eyes caught with the panicking girl , she left the tavern through the front door .

The breeze splashed over her and made her already loosed headscarf , completely removed . Mark could only notice her long black hair dancing on the wind's tune when she got out of the front door .

He immediately got up and followed her . She stood outside at door , Searching for daisy all over . She unknown that her headscarf has removed and moved her head right to left again and again .

Then suddenly she felt a big manly hand grabbing her wrist from behind , and she stood there , stunned and scared .
