Chapter 3
Alanna took a look at her self in the mirror. She looked beautiful her hair was done perfectly, her make up accented her features and brought out her light amethyst colored eyes and her dress fit perfectly. Alanna hated it.
Great I look gorgeous this is horrible what if I give Roger the wrong idea and he thinks I'm actually interested in him
"Alanna?"
Alanna spun around "Oh, hello Roger"
"Are you-Wow, you look great"
Damn…Wait…thank you, say thank you Alanna…Alanna, are you listening to yourself? This is just the sort of behavior you put on in anger management, you never listen to the sister! Alanna! Say thank you!
"Thank you" Alanna said
"Are you ready to go?"
"Yes" Alanna said
Roger took Alanna's arm and hooked their arms together
I think I'm going to be sick
"So, do you always look this way for dinner? Or is this a special treat for me"
I take it back…I know I am going to be sick
"I wanted to make a good first impression"
"Its working" Roger said as he pulled a stray hair behind her ear
Make way for the barf…I am going to kill Thom
"Thank you. Is my father going to be there tonight?"
"I believe so"
Damn
"Wonderful. I've missed him almost as much as I have missed Thom"
"Alanna your brother and I talked earlier and I would appreciate it if you would stop lying to me."
Thank the gods
"I'm sorry Roger, it was my friend Jen's idea. She said I need to act like a proper lady"
"Jen?"
"Jennaya" Alanna elaborated
When Roger continued to look confused, she sighed
"Garry's sister"
"Oh, of course" Roger said
"So how much did Thom tell you?"
"He said you still want to be a knight"
Curse you Thom. I had him going
"It's true, I do still dream of being a knight"
"You do know women aren't allowed to train for their knighthood right?"
No duh!
"I know"
"But at least your brother will be one. You must be happy for him."
"I am"
Roger raised an eyebrow at Alanna
"Really?"
"Yes"
Even if I would make a much better knight
They walked through the door to the great hall and Alanna suddenly felt very nervous especially when she saw where Roger was leading her.
Roger bowed and Alanna dropped to a curtsy so low she was surprised her butt wasn't on the floor
"Uncle Roald, Aunt Lianne, may I present my fiancée, Lady Alanna of Trebond"
Soon to be Conte.
"It is a pleasure to meet you Lady Alanna" King Roald said
Queen Lianne nodded
"I have had the pleasure of meeting your son, but meeting the two of you is by far the greatest honor"
Wow, she's good. She's almost too good.
"You are too kind" Queen Lianne said
Jon was fighting to keep as strait a face as he could
"Jon" Lianne quietly hissed
Roger could feel Alanna getting tense
"Aunt, Uncle, please excuse us. I have told Alanna she could sit with her friends tonight"
No he didn't…wait! Why are you complaining! What in your right mind gives you the right to complain?
The king and Queen nodded and Roger led Alanna to her friends. After a … mostly uneventful dinner there was a party Alanna hated parties they were so boring much like embroidery.
Jon and Garry walked up and…
"You're in trouble" Garry taunted in a sing song voice.
"Big trouble" added Jon.
"What?
Just then her father came up behind her.
"Jennaya I wish to speak to you tomorrow about the way spoke to your cousin this afternoon."
"You told him?"
"I said I would."
"You little…"
"Jennaya! I think I'm going to have to talk to your Aunt regarding your behavior."
"shit" she mumbled
"What was that?"
"Nothing"
"Come on young lady you're going to spend some quality time with your dear old dad" he said leading Jen away from the group.
While she was still in eyesight, Jen mouthed "Help me"
"Alanna"
"What is it Thom?"
"Father and Duke Roger wish to see you."
"Alright, excuse me."
Alanna curtsied to her father and fiancé upon arrival
"Alanna, it's good to see you again" Lord Alan said
"It's good to see you too father" Alanna said "Roger, it's always a pleasure to see you"
Yep, she is way too good at this
"Alanna would you dance with me?" Roger asked.
No, no, and uh…NO! I will never in a million, billion, trillion years dance with you!
"I'd be honored to dance with you Roger"
Idiot…Wow, a million, billion, trillion years go by fast
Good girl she's a great actress
"Have fun" Thom said
Alanna glared at her brother and smiled as she was led to the center of the dance floor
Roger grabbed one of her hands and place his other hand just slightly lower than her waist.
Too low Roger
"So, are you enjoying the party?"
"Of course" Alanna said
Liar
Liar
"Good"
At the end of the dance Jon asked if he might "have the honor of dancing with his cousin's beautiful fiancée." Alanna agreed and Roger went off to convince Lord Alan that it would be better to move the wedding up. He had already convinced his uncle it was a good idea.
