Dementlieu was a very progressive and forward place, and though its noble women were still women, destined to be wives and mothers; they had a freedom in this land that was missing from more primitive places and times. The Dementlieuese had open minds, and such play among girls was considered nothing more than sweet affection. After all, it's not like women would seduce and bed each other...<br/><br/>"My darling Lily. I think I'm cured," giggled Bella, from behind her damp fingers. "Your kisses are so sweet and wonderful, my dearest friend."<br/><br/>That's when Marcus's cry rung out, though, and their game, however sweet and innocent it might be, came to a crashing end. Bella closed the door behind Lilian, not quite as brave as her friend was. "Be careful, Lily!" she called out, through the large carriage window.<br/><br/>Lily was always this brave. She remembered one time when the girls has stumbled on a mother bear and her cubs. Bella had been afraid they were going to be eaten, but Lily...she was a noblewoman through and through. Not a day older than twelve, Lily strode right up to the bear and demanded that the animals leave her lands. What's more, Lily didn't get gobbled up...the bear actually turned with her little ones and left. Lily would be okay, but Bella felt that she would be serving her own safety by staying in the carriage. She was, after all, most certainly not Lily Montague.
