Kel was walking towards the mess hall when a hand grabbed her waist and pulled her in to a corner.
"What are you doi-" A hand covered her mouth. She looked up and saw Joren of Stone Mountain.
"Shhhhhhhh. Look I'm not going to do anything to you Lump. Don't scream." When he saw her nod he took his hand off her mouth.
"Look this really isn't the place to talk about this so listen carefuly slut."
"Why should I listen to you?"
" Look just meet me in my room after dinner. Make sure no one follows you. I don't want my reputation ruined by you."Joren said.
"Why?" Kel asked.
"You're involed with the situation. Thats all I can tell you now." And with that he left in to the mess hall. Kel followed him. When they walked in to the mess, everyone looked a them.
"Joren, Keledry you are late. You are to clean the stables for a fortnight. Now get your meals and go sit down." Lord Wyldon said calmly. They got there food and went to there tabes. Neal gave her a questioning look. Lord Wyldon said a prayer, then everyone sat down and ate. Kel sat there wondering what Joren was talking about when an anoying voice said,
"Kel. KEL! Hello anyone home?" Neal was knocking on her head with a closed fist. Kel just swatted it away.
"What do you want?" She asked.
"Why did you come late, as well as Joren?" Neal asked.
"We just had a little run in, thats all."
" Did you beat him?" Kel just punched him in the arm and said,
"Shut up and eat your vegetables." Everyone who was listining laughed.
After dinner Kel went to Jorens rooms. She stopped in front of his door and was just about to knock when the door open. Joren grabbed her arm and puled her in before anyone saw. He closed the door and locked it.
"You know the rules. Your not suppossed to close the doors when I'm in here. Especialy with you." Kel said furiously.
"Yeah I know, but I don't want anyone hearing."
"What don't you want anyone hearing?" Kel asked.
"Ok here it goes. Did you get any letter saying anything about a betrothal?"
"No, but wh-" Joren cut her off.
"Well my mother send me a letter saying that since I'm her only son and shes aging she has to make a betrothal for me. (A.N: Did that make any sense?) Also you fief needs money, which we have."
"And how does that have to do with me? Unless I'm-"
" The person who my mother has chosen." Joren finished." But my mother and your mother will be coming in two days time to finish the deal. So this means that-"
"I have to quit training. But why are you being so nice to me? We're enemies remeber?" Kel said quietly. Someone knocked at the door. Joren opened it so they can only see Joren not Kel.
"Joren you said we're going to study tonight? Well let us in." Vinson and Garvey pushed open the door. When they saw Kel they gasped.
"Why is she in here? Planing on bedding her?" They laughed.
"For your information she my betrothed." Joren said haughtly.
"Wow, Joren. We'd never thought you'd sink so low." Garvey said.
"My mother betrothed me to her 'cause I need to have a wife to run the fief."
"Well if you guys are done I think that I'll be leaving now." Kel said rather upset.
She ran to her rooms and jumped on her bed. She put her mask on, but that couldn't stop the tears from coming. She knew it was weak, but she couldn't help it. Someone knocked on her door.
"Hey Kel I-" Neal stopped in mid sentence when he saw her crying.
"What did he do to you? I swear when I find him I'll cut his head off and-"
"Neal it wasn't him. I-I-I can't continue my training here." Kel cried out.
"Why? Does it have something to do with Joren?"Kel nodded.
"My parents betrothed me to him an-and I wont be able to become a knight which I worked so hard for." She started to cry even more. Neal sat down on her bed and hugged her.
"Kel it will be ok in the end."
They sat there for a while holding each other. When Kel started to slide down he push in to her bed and pulled the sheets over her. He then left the room to go tel the others what he had heard.
