Her favorite pastimes were riding her horse Tikki and tormenting the farm boy that worked there. His name was Adrien but she never called him that "Farm boy polish Tikki's saddle I want to see it sparkling by morning," Marinette said in a stren voice "as you wish milady," he said gazing at her as she walks away. As you wish milady was all he ever said to her, "farm boy fill these with water please," she said placing down two empty large buckets "as you wish milady," he said, She leaves; his eyes stay on her. She stops, turns -- he manages to look away as now her eyes stay on him. That day she was amazed to discover that when he was saying as you wish milday what he meant was I love you Marinette, And even more amazing was the day she realized she truly loved him back. "Farm boy.." she called as he was about to step outside to collect firewood "fetch me that pitcher, " she said pointing to a pitcher she could have easily grabbed herself, he gets it, hands it to her; they are standing very close to each other gazing into each other's eyes. "As you wish milady," he said turning away from her and walking outside, Later the two are outside of Adrien's tiny house in the red glow of a sunset and shared a passionate kiss "hold it hold it what is this are you trying to trick me where's the sports, is this a kissing book?" Chris asked rudly interuppting the story "keep your shirt on let me read," the grandfather said resuming the stroy, "Adrien had no money for marriage so he left to seek his fortune across the sea it was a very emotional time for Marinette," "I don't believe this," Chris complained, "I fear I'll never see you again," Marinette said on the verge of tears "of course you will, " Adrien said embracing her "but what if something happens to you?" she asked crying "hear this now I will always come for you," he resured her "but how can you be sure?" She asked "this is true love, You think this happens every day?" He smiles at her, she smiles too, throws her arms so tightly around him. They kiss, then as Adrien walks away, Marinette watches him go with tears running down her face, however Adrien never made it to his destination, his ship was attacked by the vicous Cat Noir who never took prisoners, when Marinette got the news that her beloved Adrien had been mudered she went to her room and for days neither slept or ate "I will never love again," she declared watching the flames in her fireplace die.
