Chapter 2
As Jazada slowly walked down the stairs giving ample opportunity for the courtiers in the ballroom below to gaze up at the beautiful princess. Two boys's stood in a corner watching her. One was prince Christopher, Jazada's brother; he was the complete opposite to her being fat, stupid, ugly and cruel. He remarked to her neighbor "as soon as we find your kingly father I shall give her hand in marriage to you Jason." In reply Jason smiled, he would look forward to that day when she would be his, he did not love her but the thought of using her as his slave, pleased him immensely. All the young ladies had been introduced now and by the looks of things the king was about to make a speech.
"My loyal subjects, this ball is not just merely to present my young daughter to the court, but her going away ball. As she is going to the court of tortall across the inland sea to look at how other countries live, my son prince Christopher will be accompanying her as far Tyra as he will be going there to learn about governing a country."
When the king finished his speech Jazada's friends flocked around her. "Why didn't you tell us." They exclaimed. Jazada grinned sheepishly "my parents forbid me to tell any one." She apologized. "I'm going with her as lady in waiting." Piped up lady junia. "Let's not dwell on this let's go and have some fun." Suggested lady Sini. Jazada had a great night she danced with most of the eligible boy's there and went to bed thoroughly exhausted.
She was woken up early the next morning and quickly dressed in breeches and secured a small dagger around her waist. When junia came to fetch her for breakfast she saw junia was dressed the same. The smells coming from the dining room made her stomach churn. She would not have eaten if Shuni and junia, who was always eating and never gained a pound, had not cajoled her into eating a piece of toast. On the way to the boat it struck her and junia that they would probably never see majhar again. They both knew that their parents hoped to marry them of to somebody from the eastern land's to secure a treaty. This realization brought tears to their eyes as they both loved their country and they each made a silent vow never to forget their country. Soon they had arrived at the boat. Jazada kissed her parents' good-bye they all were weeping, as jazada loved her parents and she was there favorite child. As the boat pulled away a mighty cheer was let out and soon the boat was out of sight.
A week later
On board the boat a green Shuni leaned over the side and groaned. "My lady this is the most awful way to travel how long till we are there." Jazada held back a laugh and replied. "Not far look there's the coast. And on the horizon fast appearing lay the coast of tortall.
Jazada looked ahead and wondered what would be in store when they arrived.
