~*~*~*~ CHAPTER ONE ~ THE CONVENT
"But I don't want to go to the palace!" a girl with deep purple eyes and long, striking red hair shouted.
"Don't be silly Alanna, of course you do! Every lady that has spent their time in this convent must go, and that includes you," Maude said, "now stop moving around and stand still! I need to get these measurements in before tomorrow morning to order that dress for the ball."
Alanna sighed.
Ever since she was small, her dream was to become a knight, but she knew that it wasn't possible now, not without being able to get the proper training of one. She had been taking classes with Korak, a knight that came to the convent once every now and then. He had been a great teacher, but it would never be as good as actually doing the proper training. Still, she thought, I'm lucky already! How many people will be like Korak in this world? Who'd actually train a lady to be a knight? That's almost zero.
Maude finished measuring her, and put the tools aside. She noticed her unusual silence and whispered silently, as if she thought others would hear them talking, "I'm sorry Alanna, I didn't mean to shout at you or anything, but you know you can't do the impossible anymore, please, just let it go."
Alanna stared at the ground. "You can't stop me you know that don't you?"
Maude put the measurements in a bag and sealed it. "Cheer up, you'll meet a lot of guys that you'll like, and even marry."
As if, Alanna thought, the day that I marry is the day I'll start kissing pigs. At least I'll be able to see Thom and maybe, just maybe, he'll teach me a bit more.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The day of their departure from the convent:
"I can't wait to go to the palace!" Salma, a girl with brunette hair and hazel eyes exclaimed.
"I-I," a thin and blonde headed girl stammered, " I'm too-too-scared, what if I ruin it? Then I've wasted, like, 6 years at this convent doing nothing."
"Don't worry Ternesa, I'm sure you'll do fine. At the very least, better than me." Alanna comforted the girl. " I've failed every single sewing test and you've seen me cook! Remember? I burnt everything."
"Just as well," Delia, a beautiful brown haired, green-eyed girl smirked, "I doubt all three of you have even heard of what a true woman is, or is it because you just don't have enough models to show you. Because they need more people like me at the convent. But, unfortunately for them, I'm going to move into the Royal Kingdom to become a Queen."
Alanna snorted, and Ternesa and Salma covered their giggles behind their hands.
"You Delia? You become queen. I don't know about that, I think everybody will move out of this country once you become queen." Salma said, over her suppressed giggles.
"At least I am not as unwomanly like as this wretched Alanna here." Delia's eyes turned to slits
"What's wrong with her? She's just failed almost every test. So what? She may be a bit unwomanly like" Salma replied meanly, "sorry Alanna. But at least she's not the most unpopular girl that's ever come to the convent. Actually, to be truthful, she's the most popular one here! She thinks of others before herself even though her temper isn't too nice."
Delia laughed. "I'd like to see her with a husband."
"I'd like to see you with the prince!" Salma snapped back as the carriages arrived in front of them.
Alanna, Ternesa and Salma took the very back carriage, happy to get away from Delia at last, as she excitedly ran to the front one. The rest of the girls that were going to be introduced to the palace went into the leftover ones but none of them got on the first one as Delia happened to be there.
The ride to the palace was long and dull. None of them talked because they were too afraid of what they'll meet when they reach there. It was just a long ride of intense emotions and apprehensiveness.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
At long last the carriage stopped. Alanna's heart pumped faster than it ever had before. Please, goddess, help me not make a fool in front of my brother.
Alanna was the last to get out of the carriage. She looked around her and gasped. Everything was like a dream to her. There were many fencing courts, tilting grounds, etc. Everything a knight needed to train with. The grounds were of a fresh grass, not the dull cement you couldn't lie lazily on at the convent. The trees grew beautifully and the rose bushes were lovely. It was everything she wanted, she thought unhappily and happily at the same time. If only Thom agreed with the deal. But then again, it mightn't work. After all, he's the one with the brains and the sane mind.
Their teacher led them to their rooms and left for her own room as Alanna entered her own.
The furnitures were of quite a high quality and everything was absolutely spotless, unlike her room at the convent, where the teachers didn't allow the girls to have a servant because they had to be taught to clean up after themselves. Alanna smiled at that idea now instead of hating it.
It was night, and she was so tired. She yawned as she changed into more comfortable clothes to sleep with. Without bothering to unpack her clothing she crawled onto bed and fell asleep.
Maybe this place won't be too bad after all.
