Courtship
Courtship is a side quest in Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Sometime after Awakening, Henry begins to think about Theresa. Otherwise, during Keeping the Peace, he tells the watchman Nightingale about how Theresa saved him from Runt (or how he saved her from Cumans). Nightingale knowingly comments that Henry should go and thank her properly.

Walkthrough
After returning to Silver Skalitz to bury his parents, Henry suffers serious wounds. There, he is rescued by Theresa and troops led by Robard of Talmberg. Peshek and Theresa nurse Henry's wounds at Rattay Mill during Awakening until Henry is well enough to set off on his own again.
Sometime later, Henry will muse that he has not seen her in a while and visit the mill (or perhaps he is prompted by Nightingale).
Go and see Theresa, the mill wench, before noon.
Theresa is happy to see you when it is not raining, and she is not angry, and between 07:00 and 12:00, so invite her to walk along the river with you. Before challenging you to a race, you'll chat about travelling and how she'd like to hear John Hus preach. Jog up the path until you see a small meadow on your left, where she'll invite you to sit with her.

Don't worry. She likes you a lot, so failing the skill checks is impossible. Henry will tell her about life as Sir Radzig's squire, and the two will laugh and flirt for a while before walking her back to the mill.
She's had a good time, and you both agree to meet again soon. But not too soon - you wouldn't want to seem too eager. Play it cool, Henry.
I must ask Theresa out again in a couple of days!
After three days, Henry's mind will wander back to his favorite mill-maid.
Go and see Theresa.
When Theresa is not angry, and when the time is between 16:00 and 20:00, ask her if she'd like to have dinner with you one evening. Of course, she says yes, and he'll ask where she'd like to go. Theresa has never been to a tavern before and promises to try some ale if you take her to the Broken Wheel Tavern.
As you walk up the hill to Rattay, the two will reminisce about life in Skalitz. Henry's cooking skills are so abysmal that Fritz still gets nauseous at the mention of his oat cakes. Theresa will ask you if you meet many girls at bathhouses and taverns. Henry will reply he likes a different sort - "all mouth and green eyes." Smooth.
You will enjoy a meal at the tavern, and Theresa will even teach Henry to dance. All is going well until a drunken bandit approaches them. He tries to get Theresa to dance with him and becomes angry when she rebuffs him. He even threatens to rape her as she pushes him off. Henry, ever the hero, jumps in to defend her. You'll need to fight the bandit off. Take care of him with your bare hands because he'll pull out a weapon if you do.
Once you've seen him off, Theresa will tend to the slightly battered-looking Henry, who naturally insists it doesn't hurt. She sees through this, pointing out he winces every time she touches him but calls him her hero. Although she's concerned about him, he insists on walking her home.
At the doorstep, Henry tells Theresa that spending time with her may be painful, but it's never dull. The two hover awkwardly at the doorstep momentarily before Henry says she should go inside before Peshek starts fretting.
In response, Theresa, evidently exasperated by Henry's cluelessness, kisses him firmly before entering the mill. Henry is surprised by her forwardness but doesn't seem to mind.
Again, you want to take your time with things (plus, you've probably got wounds you need to deal with), so give it a few days before heading back to the mill.
On the final outing, speak to Theresa again during the day. She wants to play 'Blind Man's Bluff' - a game for children, she admits, but one that she always enjoyed... and she won't feel stupid playing it with Henry. She'll take you to the nearby barn where no one can see and begin the game. If you leave the barn, once she removes the blindfold, she'll be annoyed at you sneaking off, and you'll have to charm her to play again. So either hide from her long enough or let her catch you.
By this time, it's started raining, and Theresa realizes with a start that she's left the laundry out. Hurry over to the washing line and pick up the aprons (or watch her do it if you feel like staying dry). Henry suggests putting them by the fire to dry, but Theresa points out they'll get smoky and should be laid out in the barn.
In the barn, a sudden lightning bolt makes Theresa jump, and Henry playfully teases her about being scared of storms. The two kiss and lie down in the hay to make love. The following day, Henry awakens in the barn to find Theresa has already gone and smiles to himself.
Notes
- Completing this quest will unlock the achievement McLovin but will prevent you from earning the Virgin achievement.
- The sex scene, while quite sweet, is also fairly graphic so players may want to be aware of who else is in the room.
