The plague had just ended and the whole court was outside waiting to greet King Francis and his entourage. Kenna was particularly looking forward to this as she had been cooped up in the castle for weeks and she was ready to do something exciting, even if it was only to welcome back the new king to the castle. Soon it was time to greet Francis. Kenna and Greer went over to see Lola and her new baby while Mary went over to see Francis. Louis, Prince of Conde was going over to Mary and Francis as Kenna and Greer were cooing over Lola's baby. Kenna noticed Conde out of the corner of her eyes.

"He's easy on the eyes, isn't he?," Kenna said to Greer and Lola.

Conde was handsome, Kenna thought to herself. He had dark hair and a short, dark beard. He was tall and had a nice smile. Kenna liked Conde the moment she saw him. She hoped that he would like her. She knew that she would never be married, since everyone had known about her affair with King Henry and no one wanted to marry her. She had almost been married to King Henry's bastard son Bash, but he had decided against it at the last minute. Kenna was thankful that she was not married to Bash, as he had still been hopelessly in love with Mary at the time. He did move on in time, taking a new lover, Lady Eleanor. In a way, Kenna was glad that she was not married because of the freedom she had. She was on the hunt for a new lover and Louis, Prince of Conde was her choice.

One week had passed since Conde had arrived at the royal court. He had not been to court in nearly five years. Conde loved being at court. He loved all the parties and the people and the politics. The politics were his favorite part. Conde had converted to Protestantism a few months before. He was hoping that being close to the new king would make it easier for him to get the king to be more fair to the Protestants. Even though politics were his main concern, Conde was looking to have some fun at court. He was looking for a new mistress as his former mistress had returned to her husband. He had sampled a few of the court ladies, but none of them were to his liking.

But there was one lady in particular that Conde fancied: the lady Kenna of Scotland, a lady-in-waiting to Mary, Queen of Scots and France. Conde thought that Kenna was very pretty. She had brown hair, brown eyes and a slim figure. He hadn't spoken to her in the first week he had been at court, but he had seen her with other people. He liked seeing Kenna laugh and smile... she had a lovely smile. Conde planned to talk to Kenna that night at the party that night.

It was finally time for the party. Kenna had been looking forward to that party all day. She had her gown and her jewels ready.

Perhaps this is the night that I will finally get my chance with the prince of Conde, Kenna thought to herself as she looked in the mirror.

Shortly after that, Kenna, Greer and Lola accompanied Mary to the night's festivities. Mary went straight over to Francis, Greer went to her fiancé, Lord Castleroy and Lola went over to Lord Narcisse, who she had been drawn to since she first met him. Kenna remained by herself, waiting for someone to come talk to her. Soon after that, Conde happened upon Kenna.

"My lord Conde," said Kenna as she curtsied to him," what a pleasure it is to make your acquaintance."

"The pleasure is all mine, Lady Kenna," said Conde as he respectfully kissed her hand.

Kenna blushed. "How long will you be staying at court, Lord Conde?"

"I plan on staying here at court for several months. I have a lot of business to attend to."

"Like what?" Kenna was curious. 

"You would find it dreadfully boring, Lady Kenna."

"Try me," Kenna said, a little defiantly.

"Alright, I will," said Conde.

He went on about his land and the peasants that farm it, as well as his many duties. Half way through, Kenna stopped him.

"You're right, Lord Conde... that was dreadfully boring." Kenna said jokingly.

Conde laughed. "By the way, you can just call me Louis or Conde."

Kenna smiled. "Alright, Louis. You can call me Kenna."

"Kenna it is." Conde smiled warmly at her.

Kenna blushed again. Conde noticed her blushing, so he decided to rectify that situation.

"Kenna, would you like to dance?"

"I would love to," said Kenna.

Conde smiled, then offered Kenna his arm. Kenna eagerly accepted it and the two went to the dance floor. Once Conde and Kenna began their dance, they became the center of attention. They outshined even Mary and Francis, the king and queen. Mary and Francis did not seem to mind though, as they both looked adoringly at Kenna and Conde. After they were done dancing, Kenna and Conde left the dance floor and found a place to sit. They talked for hours over several cups of wine. After a while, Kenna decided it was time to leave and she excused herself, even though she still wanted to spend time with Conde.

Kenna made it to her room in minutes. Shortly after Kenna made it to her room, she heard a knock on the door. She was getting ready for bed at the time, but she opened the door anyways. Conde was on the other side.

"Louis, what are you doing here?" Kenna asked... even though she knew why he was there

Conde didn't say anything and just kissed Kenna passionately on the mouth. Kenna kissed him back with the same amount of passion. She wrapped her arms around him and ran her fingers through his hair. Conde began to unlace the back of her gown. Kenna shrugged her dress off once Conde was done unlacing the back of it. Conde took off is shirt and pants, then helped Kenna take off her corset. Once the were both naked, Kenna and Conde just looked at each others naked bodies for a little. Kenna liked what she saw, as did Conde.

Kenna laid down on the bed. Conde joined Kenna and got on top of her. He began to kiss her neck and chest. Kenna gasped when Conde entered her. It had been a long time since she last had sex. Conde was gentle to Kenna. In turn, Kenna wrapped her arms around him. As the time passed, Conde and Kenna got used to each others bodies and moved together in sync. Their loving lasted for hours. Both Kenna and Conde were heavily sweating when they were done. Conde fell back on the bed. Kenna kissed him on his forehead before falling back on her side of the bed. Conde then rolled on his side, facing away from Kenna, falling asleep shortly after. Kenna looked at Conde's muscular back. She smiled to herself, then went to sleep.
