a/n I'm sorry for the wait it's just School started to (finally) get difficult and this chapter was really hard to write, people asked for more and I hadn't planned on giving more, but thank you to my ever constructive reviewers. I have a few stories to type up maybe I'll get around to that.

Her Dom, It was still sinking in after months of stolen kisses and longing looks when third company left. She kept busy in the months he was gone remembering that first night. He was so gentle as not to scare a wild rabbit, he had taken her to her room and just lay on the bed, content with just holding her. He would sigh every now and then and he fell asleep with a smile plastered to his perfectly structured face.

This month had been a long one, Dom had been sent to hope and Kel kept to the castle on Gate duty, she liked Gate duty, it gave her time to think and also it was interesting watching various messengers rush through the gate carrying news from the fiefs. She always hoped she would see third company ride through the gates. They had been gone for a while and Kel began to worry. What if they had come under attack? Kel knew they could take care of themselves but what if they had been over whelmed? If there was going to be a search party, Kel was going to be a part of it. This was ridiculous she was just worrying like a silly court girl. And almost like to prove a point the next day a company of soldiers rode through the iron gates like every time, but this time there fewer of them. Kel counted the men 4 were missing she scanned the eyes in the helmets and didn't find Dom's. She ran to the leader and spat out questions "Where is he what happened this was just a check-up run how could- what could- why didn't-"she was cut off by the knight.

"Lady Keladry!" he chuckled, "This is fourth company! I assume you're looking for third?"

Kel hid her embarrassment with her mask but some escaped onto her cheeks, "yes"

"They arrive back tomorrow" and with that he rode off with the rest of fourth company. Kel retreated to her quarters thinking about her insane obsession, she needed to calm down he would be here like always. The truth was the other day Kel had asked the king a very important question. She had asked The King to pardon Dom from the law against King's Own marrying. She was going to ask Dom to marry her, the king had said yes. Her heart leaped at the thought! She closed her eyes and drifted into a deep dreamless sleep.

Third Company began to pack up all there supplies, readying themselves for the ride back to Corus. Do was more anxious than the others. He had tried to ask so many times but always interrupted. He was going to ask the King for a pardon, he wanted to marry Kel. He was worried though, what if he wasn't pardoned? He would not be able to give Kel what she wanted, well what he hoped she wanted and then what would happen? Would she leave him? Would he have to leave her? He placed all his bets on the pardon he shook his head and told himself to focus on the ride.
