THE MESSENGER
The Prince was was named solely by the Queen's personal physician. The Queen died minutes after the Prince was birthed and the King was elsewhere. Therefore, the task of naming the Prince fell to the physician. The physician, master Arne, chose a name that was of the Queen's bloodline. The Prince was suitably named Viggo and it was officially accepted by the church. Upon the King's return months later, the physician was promptly hanged. The King showed no sign of bereavement with regards to his deceased wife, and Viggo was abandoned to the clergy to be raised in isolation from the crown.
So, it was a surprise to the Prince when he was summoned to the castle one week before his twentieth birthday. He knew that he was the son of the King, but he didn't know that the King had any knowledge that he even existed. For the past nineteen years, Viggo had spent each day working as member of the clergy and in service to the crown but with no contact with the nobles of the court and no contact with his father.
The summons to attend the castle came from a messenger that found him working in the castle stables. The messenger notified Viggo that there would be a banquet in his honor to celebrate his twentieth birthday and that he should report on the Monday before his birthday.
"The Prince shall attend His majesty's castelan, in his office, Monday next, at the first chime of the first watch bell," announced the messenger.
That was but one week from today! The messenger left the written notice with the instructions in Viggo's care. Viggo read the notice several times. There were advantages to being raised by the church. One advantage was that the clergy took literacy very seriously. Viggo knew that he must finish his work in the stables before he could return to the church dormitory to tell Brother Frigg of the summons. Many times, Viggo had left before his task was complete and he was rightly punished for his disobedience.
The stable's head man was Jorlaug. Jorlaug enjoyed a privileged position and had worked hard to reach this rank in the castle hierarchy. He had worked his way from a common stable boy to the castalen's trusted man. Jorlaug would not hesitate to punish anyone working in the stables that did not satisfy his expectations, least of all Viggo. Viggo was assigned to work in the stable when he turned eighteen years old. Since then, he had been the focus of Jorlaug's anger for his lack of attention to detail. No one knew that Viggo was really the King's son. They only knew him as a orphan that was picked up by the clergy.
Viggo didn't mind the constant pressure that came with working under Jorlaug. Jorlaug had a daughter that was only a few years older than Viggo. Viggo believed that Jorlaug's daughter had the most beautiful name, Tawny. Since his assignment to the stables he had developed a close relationship with Tawny and considered her to be his best friend in the whole world. They spent hours together in the stables. A countless number of times Tawny had snuck out of her father's house to help Viggo finish his chores so that he would not be punished by her father.
As soon as Viggo had finished his assigned chores, he ran back to the church dormitory to look for Brother Frigg. Brother Frigg would know what to do. This was big and important news. As usual, Brother Frigg was in his cell in prayer. It was not uncommon for brother Frigg to pray for hours at a time.
"Brother Frigg! Brother Frigg! I got a message from the castle!" exclaimed Viggo.
Brother Frigg put up one finger while keeping his head bowed. This told Viggo to wait. Brother Frigg was deep in prayer. After a few more minutes of impatiently waiting, Viggo saw Brother Frigg slowly raise his head and look at him in the eyes.
"What is your haste my son?" questioned brother Frigg.
Viggo relayed the events of the day and the actions of the messenger. He presented the scroll to Brother Frigg for his review.
"I knew this day would come. Please follow me to Brother Agnar's office," instructed Frigg.
Brother Agnar was the head of this sect of the Brotherhood of Discipline which was attached directly to the affairs of the castle. Brother Agnar attended the castle in many religious events and services. Brother Agnar was frequently summoned to the attend the King and his court. Viggo heard around the stables that Brother Agnar was, in fact, a eunuch. It was some time before Viggo learned what that term meant. According to some of the other stable hands, Brother Agnar's balls had been cut off. Brother Agnar looked different that other men, too. He had soft features with no sign of developed muscle, and his face was round like the moon.
Brother Agnar was in his office when Viggo and Brother Frigg arrived with the news of Viggo's summons to report to the castelan in one week's time.
"Yes, I knew this day would come. Viggo, you are the son of the King. That means that under the Gods' law, you must be recognized as the Prince and allowed certain rights. I have been in counsel with the King and he is fully aware of your birthright. He does not intend to withhold it from you. You are his only son," said Brother Agnar.
"What does this mean?" asked Viggo.
"Well, there will be a banquet in your honor. At this banquet you will be recognized as heir to the throne by His Majesty. From that day forth, you will be a recognized member of the royal family with all the rights and privileges that affords you. Your life is about to change, Viggo," said Brother Agnar. "We must get you prepared to meet with the castelan and do what we can to prepare you for the banquet."
Viggo couldn't believe what he was hearing. He was going to be a part of the royal family? He was going to meet the King...his father?
"Brother Frigg, you must prepare Viggo for his audience with the castelan. He needs new clothes and a bath. Please see to it personally and make sure he attends his appointment on time. We have been preparing him for this his whole life and the time has finally arrived."
Brother Frigg began the preparations for Viggo's meeting. He procured new clothes in the modern style of the day but nothing too over the top. He also made sure that Viggo had a full bath. This was the first time Viggo had been in a full bath. Most of the brothers took baths by washing off with a damp cloth in their cell before bed, and Viggo had followed along with the practice. Brother Agnar had described to him the enormous baths in the castle, but Viggo could not image what a bathhouse really looked like or why anyone would need that much water. Viggo also thought it was strange for groups of people to bath naked together. It wasn't something he could imagine himself ever doing.

TAWNY
The morning of his meeting with the castelan, Viggo went back to the stables to see Tawny and tell her why he had not been working in the stables. Tawny was in the tack room cleaning a saddle. Viggo stood at the entrance to the tack room and watched Tawny from afar. Tawny had all the same features of her mother, but her father's genes had given her a striking appearance. Unlike the other women in the castle, Tawny was raised by her father to train horses and care for them. She wore men's work pants and a shirt. The other young women in the castle would laugh at her for the way she dressed. The other women were always wearing dresses. Tawny wore what fit best for her work with in the stables.
