"No worries Richard", Mildrtha said in a small accent, Richard then immediately looked at Mildrtha but shaked his head, Mildrtha walked outside the door with books in her hands with a widen smile.

"Can i have one my'lady?" An old man asked as he had a cross in his hands tightly; Mildrtha nodded,"Yes", she smiled. "Whom is this about?" the old man asked shortly afterwards, "Odda the priest—" The old man nodded as he had a drink in one hand, "Everyone knows Odda, a good man, really loyal to Alfred the king of Wessex." Mildrtha nodded, "Indeed", she giggles, "Carry on girl" the old man ssid as he walked away, Mildrtha then left books ontop of a table as women and men started picking and was at joy.

Mildrtha sighed as she walked away slowly to find a calming place, she then layed on the grass and looked upon the sky.

"What do you see?" the man asked in a tone as the women was on the ship, "I see land!" she said as she was excited, the man chuckled; "Land is amazing",
