OMG I'm sorry for not writing for so long but my laptop died on me in the middle of this chapter. I hope it can be fixed! So here is the seventh chapter! I'm sorry I broke my promise but here is my new chapter enjoy!

RPOV

I woke up to the feeling of someone twisting in my arms. I opened my eyes and smiled at the beautiful girl in my arms. Her wavy hair was spread in luscious dark cherry chocolate waves over her pillow. Her head was on my chest and her arms were hugging my right arm. Our legs were a tangled mess under the covers. I knew I had to get up so I slowly moved away from her. She let out a moan and tried to bury her head in my chest again. I laughed quietly and slowly moved till I was sitting on the edge of the bed. I pushed back the covers to the bottom of the bed just to hear her moan again.

I stood up and looked back at the bed. Sapphire was lying in the middle of on her side. Her nightgown had ridden up in the night to reveal her beautiful legs. Her legs looked powerful and strong but sill small and dainty like she had trained to run. She moaned and her name sake coloured eyes flutter open and she looked right at me. She had a sleepy smile on her face.

"Good morning. Why are you up so early?" she whispered tired voice. She sat up and stretched as she yawned and looked back at me and tiled her head. I stood up a stretched before answering her.

"We need to wake up. Everyone will be waiting for us at breakfast and I have to do my morning routine. You can go back to sleep if you want or you can stay up and ask me questions." I said as I walked towards the empty carpeted spot in my room and I started to do my morning workout.

"I'll stay up and ask you questions if you don't mind." She said as she leaned against the headboard of the bed. I nodded my consent and waited for her first question.

"Ok, first thing first, how old are you?"

"I am 19 years old. How old are you?"

"I am 15. Now what is the room that is connected to yours? The one I'm suppose to be staying in."

"That is for my squire, if I had one. But I don't. Since I am an unmarried man I still have a room connected to my squires' room. If I were married he would have a separate room next to mine and not connect. A squire's room is smaller than a normal room but bigger than what they used to have. So the higher and older you are the bigger your room is. It also depends on status. Since I am in one of the old original families and the only child my family has I get a bigger than normal room for a knight and my squire also gets a slightly bigger than normal room. Also I needed the office connecting room so I could have a space for my King's Own things."

"Ok what's the Kings Own?"

"The Kings Own is a group of me specially trained for battle but not knights. So it's usually made up of second and third sons who didn't become knights. The Own is led by a knight, me, and is organized into groups. There are 8 groups in all. I mostly stick with group 3 though. We protect the king. We capture bandits and criminals. We fight in wars. And we travel around Tortall. We also do some other things but that's basically it."

I started the second stage of my warm ups which consists of push ups and sit ups as I waited for her next question.

"What is your favorite part of Tortall?"

"Hmmm, hard question. I love my Home that I will someday inherit. I love the desert with the Bazhir people. I was adopted by a clan their called the Sandrunners. I also love the castle. But mostly I'm just happy to be with my friends. With them, nothings boring. It also makes sure I am aware of everything."

I looked at her to see her nodding. She looked at me and smiled before she asked her next question.

"What is your least favorite part of this city?"

I stopped my morning work out and stood up and laughed. She huffed and crossed her arms and tried to lift one eyebrow but ended up lifting both. I shook my head before I answered.

"I hate balls. All the mothers are trying to get me to marry their daughters. Secret and lies spread like wildfire. And women gossip and I don't have any person I want to dance with that isn't a friend or family."

"Would you dance with me?"

"Of course I would. I'll dance every dance and make sure you dance with no one else." I watched as a blush spread across her face. But instead of looking down she looked me in the eye. Her spit fire personality most people don't see is something I love.

I walked towards my bathroom and stopped at the dark wood door. I turned towards her nodded to the door leading to my office.

"You should go get changed. We need to be at breakfast soon."

She nodded and got out of my bed. She spread her legs and touched her hands flat on the floor. She stood up and left my room I entered my closet and got ready for the day.

SPOV

I walked into my room and sat on the bed. I went over what I had learned. I woke up and didn't want to leave that bed but I also wanted to know more about Raoul. I had asked questions about him and his job. I had learned about his habits and quirks but not what he did or his family. I wanted to know that information. Also he looked really… appealing as he did his morning workout. He didn't even break a sweat and did 50 sit-ups and 50 push ups.

I stood up and did my yoga stretches and gymnastic warm ups. It was little hard to do the splits. I usually didn't tell people how athletic I am because I am the school book worm. The only thing they know I can do is run. But I also take Tae Kwan Do, yoga and gymnastics. I know Spanish and German. I'm one smart cookie.

I walked into the bathroom and tried to figure how to work everything in it. I eventually figured out how to use most of what was in the bathroom and walked out and looked for something to wear. As I was about to ask Raoul I herd a knock at my door. I opened it to find Cynny with a dress in her hands.

"Oh good your awake! Well I thought you would need something to wear so I found a dress that will fit for today. It is one of mine that I had changed to your size." She walked into my room and proceeded to teach me how to put on a simple yet elegant blue dress that matched my eyes perfectly.

After she got me into the dress she shooed me out of the room and lead me back to the dinning room from yesterday so fast I couldn't even see the castle as it passed in a big blur. She pushed me into the Gray room and led me to the chair next to Raoul.

A breakfast made for what seemed like double the amount we actually had in the Gray room. The breakfast was eggs, toast, sausage, bacon, ham, and pancakes. Apple juice and milk were in pitchers spread around the table. I filled my cup with milk and I made a small plate for myself and began to eat since I was the last one there everyone had already started to eat.

The flavors of the meal exploded in my mouth. I had never tasted such good food! I savored every bite. After everyone was done the food cleared out by servants. When the servants left Alanna cast a privacy spell. We all looked towards Jon and waited for him to speak.

(a.n. I almost stopped there. But I am really sorry about not updating fast enough so I'll continue.)

Jon sighed and leaned across the table and handed me a chalkboard and some chalk. I placed it in my lap and leaned it against the table edge and nodded.

"Alright. Let's start at the beginning. How will we describe you presence? You should be a lady of court. But to what family?" Jon asked the people in the room. Gary looked at Jon and said,

"She could be my fathers' brother's daughter. My cousin. His family has not been to court for awhile due to his wife's illness. Since they have no children I am sure they will adopt her if we ask. Anna has always wanted a child and so does Uncle Andy."

"Alright I will send a letter to ask if they will adopt her. Now how to explain her lack of voice."

I picked up the chalk and began to write; you have magic here right? Just say I had a soar throat as a child and the magician messed up and caused me to have no voice. Or say a magician was mad at my father and since I had a lovely singing voice he cursed me to silence. Also say your instead of her. I am right here you know.

I turned the board around for al to see.Alanna laughed and shook her head. Probably at my last two sentences. Jon just nodded and cracked a smile before he said anything.

"The second option will do perfectly. Now for you clothes you will visit a seamstress and get a whole new wardrobe. You also will receive etiquette lessons on how to be a lady and history lessons from Myles so you will know about the world. Do you think he will mind Alanna?"

Alanna shook her head and turned towards me,

"Anything else Sapphire? Your name will remain the same and you will learn to be a high society lady. And Jon I think Myles would be delighted to do something else in his day. As long as she plays chess."

I grabbed my board and erased my last calk marks and reached for my chalk and I started to write; I can play chess just poorly. I also agree with what you say but have I want to add. I want to learn how to fight.

I turned the board around and showed everyone. They all stated to laugh and nod their heads. Jon placed his head in his hands and moaned.

"Of course you want to fight. I should have known. Alright. We shall all take turns teaching you to fight. Anything you want to learn specifically or just everything?"

I held up two fingers to show I wanted the second option. Everyone nodded with smiles on their faces. Jon stood up and stretched before he said.

"Now that's done everything else can wait. I'll write a letter to Gary's Uncle and plan out everything. You and the girls can get some new clothes. Get some that you can train in. the girls will also explain any questions you have that I can't answer. And I'll get you a training and learning schedule." With that Jon left the room. Everyone began to stand up and the boys all left to do their jobs.

The girls all turned to me and asked,

"Are you ready?"

I reluctantly nodded and slowly headed towards the door. If I hated shopping in my world, I don't think I'll like it here. Thayet grabbed my hand and started rushing me out the door. She turned and saw my face and smiled.

"Don't worry," She said," this will be fun!"

The End for now.

I am sorry for not updating when I said I would. I tried and here's my attempt. I know I probably changed some minor facts but nothing to big. If you have any questions please ask. Now I have a question, there is a story I am trying to find that a friend said was good. It's a harry and Hermione. It starts with Hermione waiting for Ginny in a café. Ginny wants Harry and is talking to Hermione about it. She is acting rude and in the end yells when she finds out Hermione and harry are getting married. That's all I know. That's all she told me. Please help because she keeps asking me about it. Thanks for reading and please review.
