Squire to Knight
Raoul was walking back to his rooms after a whole night of hiding behind the curtains in the grand ballroom, avoiding everyone there. The pages and squire were all on duty in the grand ballroom, where a ball is held, in honor of Queen Lianne's birthday. Together with the other squires, Alan was there, too, looking really divine in Raoul's mind. The image of Prince's squire danced about in his mind. Alan's royal blue tunic and silver hose and shirt does bring out his violet eyes, which appeared to be deep and wise, framed with carefully brushed back shiny copper hair.

"Jon's in his room?"
Alanna nodded.
Alanna hugged Raoul. "Good luck. He didn't look too happy just now."
He hugged me. He wished me luck. He cares about me! thought Raoul as he knocked on Jonathan's door.
