Medieval manslaughter!
The Sun rose over the castle. People were peacefully starting to
awaken. A sudden breeze of warmth flew through the air towards
them.
A while later an unexpected shadow overlooked the castle. The beast
had teeth as sharp as blades with a huge puddle of blood sat inside
its mouth! As the villagers fled from the scene, the blood-eyed
dragon knelt down and scoffed all the villages’ food down his scaly
throat.
Running towards his daughter Elizabeth’s bedroom, the king was
ready to keep the princess locked up and safe. He ran down to the
knights that he had been training and bellowed, “We need to take
drastic action against this dragon, he stole all our food and goodness
knows what he’ll do next. Put the bridge that goes over the moat
down, NOW!”
Sneakily tiptoeing over the hills towards the castle, the dragon was
planning how he would capture Princess Elizabeth. He had an idea,
he would fly up towards the very top turret were her room was and
crash through the window and go into her room. So that was exactly
what he did, he captured the princess and took her back to his cave.
Once they’d got back to where the ferocious beast lived, he decided
to eat the princess straight away as he was fed up of her whining all
the time.
Meanwhile back at the castle, the king was freaking out ordering his
guards around to protect the rest of the village for him. He also gave
instructions to his most trusted knight Alfred to find the dragon, kill it
and save the princess Elizabeth. So off Alfred went.
He was sprinting as fast as his legs could go and in no time he had
reached the dragons cave. The dragon met him at the cave’s opening
and stood up to the brave knight. With one breath of fire aimed at
Alfred, all of his shining armour was burnt into tiny little shreds on
the floor. He was infuriated with the colossal monster and in the end
said “That’s it I’m fed up!” Then with one huge swipe of his sword, he
stabbed the dragon through the heart! Alfred the knight had
defeated the dragon all by himself and saved the princess. Well
that’s what he thought…
Alfred was wondering around the dark and gloomy cave trying to
find Princess Elizabeth. A pained screech came from inside the
dragon’s stomach and all of a sudden, the princess came tumbling
out! Her silky blond hair and her long flowing dress were covered in
blood and guts. Just then the knight realised what he had done!
Sometime later, Alfred the knight carried the dead girl back to the
castle to give the breaking news to the family and villagers. He was
dreading what they were going to do.
Once he had got back to the castle, the King and Queen screamed at
this tragedy. “What happened to my daughter, what did you do?”
“I stabbed the dragon and killed him but my sword went through its
stomach too far and I killed Elizabeth to!” The King felt betrayal as
the castles best knight killed his wonderful daughter.
Now who would be King or Queen when the King and Queen die?
They had an idea, they could have another child. So that’s just what
they had did.
A year later she had arrived. In memory of Princess Elizabeth they
named her Elizabeth the second. The villages were all very happy and
excited about the new baby and everyone lived in peace for the rest
of their lives.
As for the knight he was hung!
