Laren's point of view just thought she should put her slightly un-cool doubts about Kari and Zachary.

Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears
Try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that their goal
Is to keep me from falling

They say that the king has mistress tucked away some where, probably in Hillander where no one would see or realize. How strange it is that they don't realize that the women's right in front of them. Luckily I heard them discussing this and now I know what the king has been thinking I can start to keep them apart. I won't let him ruin the country and all that we've worked for so he can marry someone other than Estora. I hope if they ever find out about the letters that they will realize it was for there own good, they can't have a relationship and it wouldn't do for her to become pregnant as a rider specially carrying the King's bastards.

But nothing's greater
Than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I'm going crazy

Maybe, maybe

Zachary's POV of how he feels and felt for Kari

That night in the hayloft, oh I will never forget how she let down all her barriers, and how I could hold her, and know that she wouldn't realize how improper it was and run, and how she would react the day after but it was worth it. I love her, ever since I saw her battle with the Eletien and how she was so beautiful and strong and through the night her courage never faltered. How I wish that I could have her be mine, that wild spirited woman who never fails to impress. Since the betrothal to Estora I know that I should stop thinking about her, stop my eyes from wandering to her during the conferences, but I can't. I'm afraid my Weapons may have noticed for they always give me such confusing looks, when I find myself on my walks drawn constantly to the Rider's hall. Maybe they'll just think it means I'm going crazy, which I am, crazy for her.

R&R let me know what you think, as soon as there are some reviews I'll post the last chapter : )
