A/N- Okay, so this is a Kel/Dom fic. If you don't like the pairing... sorry, I do! The title is prone to change at any minute, it was an on the spot decision. I'm sorry if I get some facts wrong, I haven't read the books in a while. May be a little OOC, but hopefully not!
Prologue
Set 6 months after Lady Knight.
The Tortallans have won the war against the Scanrans, and have killed King Maggur. Peace is across the realm, for now, and Kel is back at the palace. She has only seen a certain blue-eyed sergeant twice since the end of Lady Knight- once at New Hope and once, two weeks ago, after jousting with Lord Raoul- and is constantly wondering about him. Lalasa has volunteered to be Kel's maid everytime she is at the palace but still keeps her shop running.
Yuki and Neal were married in the rush just before the Scanrans sent a large force out, two months ago. Now that the war is over they are planning to hold a public ceremony for their friends and family. Yuki is insistent for Kel to be her bridesmaid.
The Third Company, led by Dom, have returned to the palace for Midwinter which is in 2 days. They have been there for a bit over three weeks. Kel is embarrassed that she still has a crush on Dom and throws herself into training, cutting off her personal life. Yuki and Neal have noticed a change in Kel's behaviour. They are concerned for her and want to help.
