Second and last chapter! Enjoy...

It has been 3 years since I had last seen the son's of the clan lords. Time has done stuff to people and things I expected them to change, but I wasn't sure about how little or how much. Maybe a beard on one of them, or maybe puberty has finally hit young Macintosh. I remember him throwing a tantrum on the archery fields 3 years ago. Either way I didn't expect them to turn out this way. I had me doubts on this subject on marriage, but I had promised me mother. We had agreed to meet in the middle for a reason.

Wee Dingwall had grown, I didn't expect him to have a mustache like his father. He still spaced out some but not as much as he used to. We've spoken to each other since those highland games. Turns out he's only here for the games and not really me hand in marriage. Apparently he had fallen in love with a girl in the local village. Her name is Catherine. I hope they are happy together. He's really smart actually and knows a lot of the geography of the land. I'm glad that we had made friends with each other.

Lord MacGuffin's son sure had changed, he has a more serious side now. His mother had died 2 years previous to the hands of vikings. I bet it's difficult for him to be here and see us with mum. His father said he wanted his son to try to fall in love, to help fill the void. Apparently they were really close and I feel bad for them. I couldn't see life without my mum. Other then his more serious side he had learned some Scottish, his Doric words and accent coming out less frequantly.

Lord Macintosh was still eyeing the girls. He had changed for he had reached his fathers height he tried not to show off as much. Since we've spoken he seems like an alright guy, we agree on ideas and share the same thoughts. He actually has me think before I act. My mother said he just fixed something that she's been trying to for years. He's actually confident and would be a good ally in the future.

This year things have changed since I have last saw them. I me self has changed to be that girl me mother has wanted. Well not entirely, but I'm pretty sure who ever I choose will be doing more of the politics of it all. This year all the boys may have a chance at my heart and not just my hand. This year I will get married and rule Clan DunBroch just like mum and dad have been doing.
