Lucy Wickshire 53 Chapter eight 1

The next days that came seemed as though nothing had happened. The air still smelled of blood, but everyone went on as usual. The nobles, on the other hand were tensed. They thought of the happenings of that day and wondered how Northern Lan will react. Sure enough, trade was stifled. As the traders of northern Lan cared not if their princess had slept with a dog. In their eyes, Juhntt was already receiving grace having her in their kingdom. They thought that the Juhntts had gone too far by disgracing their princess in such a way.

The traders of Juhntt on the other hand, were outraged. How could Northern Lan give their king a brothel woman to be mother of their kingdom? They thought she should have been beheaded on the spot. With the Northern Laner's anger and outrage, Juhntts used it as an excuse to create songs and poems to disgrace Northern Lan.

"Their girls are dressed in gold

They need two cocks to fill their holes.

The dirty grace of Northern Lan's Lady Mistresses." the songs said.

Soon, women of society from neighbouring kingdoms started to look down on women from Northern Lan. As Northern Lan had no queen, their princess was seen as a model for all others to follow. It soon became common for women of Northern Lan to be referred to as Lady mistresses.

No one was sure who composed that song and how it had spread so fast in just a few days. Things had become hostile between the two kingdoms and had gotten to a point of no return.
