Secrets
Alanna stayed at the convent, and has only now at the age of 16 come to meet the prince and the rogue king.
Alanna was travelling with Maude to the palace. She was now 16, and had been sent to find a husband at the palace by the head priestess of the convent, much to her dismay. As most of the older girls from the convent had been sent to the palace at one time, a series of balls would be held.
To Alanna, this was pointless. Why hold a ball? To embarrass everyone? To make sure that even if a boy had the smallest amount of feelings for a girl, he would be obliged to ask that girl to dance, even if that girl, like Alanna, could not dance for her life. And, of course, there was the chance that the girl might say no. Alanna was already trying to think of excuses, or even escape routes.
Her thoughts were halted as a mounted man appeared, blocking the road. "I'm asked to bring ye' to the rogue king." He said. Alanna had only ever heard of the rogue king, she had never come face to face with him.
