A Soon To Be Wedding

Tori sat in her room with Kelly; on the entire trip back Kelly hadn't said who she had been talking to and no matter what Tori said Kelly just changed the subject. She got up and walked over to the door, "Do you think they're done in there?"

Kelly looked up, "I'm sure we would know."

"How about we go down there?"

The red head gave her a look, "I suppose we could."

The two girls got up and headed down to the King's study. There were a couple of guards outside the door. One looked at Tori, "They're still in there."

Smiling she nodded, "Thanks." Tori went back to her room and sat back on her bed while Kelly sat on a chair.

Finally Kelly answered a knock at the door. When she opened it she revealed Cam standing there. "Kelly can I talk to my sister for a few minutes?"

"Sure." Kelly left the room and Cam shut the door.

"Is everything okay?" Tori asked getting off the bed.

"Yeah, I just wanted to be the one to tell you."

"What?" Tori was pretty sure she knew what they were talking about but decided to leave it up to Cam to tell her in his own way.

"Leanne and I are getting married."

"I know."

"In a couple of months."

"Oh. Wow, that's sooner than I thought it would be."

"Well it has been a long time since we met. You and Blake will be soon enough."

"How do you know?"

"Because you guys met a while ago."

"Right."

"Look, I know you're not to happy with him, but he seems like a good guy and Leanne has said nothing but nice things about him."
"So you two spend your time talking about Blake?"

Cam glared at her, "You know that's not what I meant. Leanne and I do…other things."

Tori could barely suppress her laugh, "Private things?"

Sighing Cam headed for the door, "Well don't worry, the wedding will be here, which means Blake is coming." He opened the door, "I'll see you later sis."

Still laughing Tori nodded as Cam shook his head before shutting the door. She composed herself and picked up the book she had started reading. Although she found it hard to concentrate because her mind kept drifting to another topic completely, a certain someone really, that person had dark skin, hair and eyes. She smiled as she thought about seeing him again.

Blake sat down on his bed; he and his brother had just finished sparring and had to get changed for dinner which would be real soon. He let his mind wander and it quickly found its way to a blonde princess that seemed to preoccupy his mind lately. He still couldn't believe that he hated her at first, hated sure, but he had been strongly attracted to her at the same time. Who could blame him? She was definitely the most beautiful princess he had ever seen, plus she could ride a horse that right way and spar. And not only could she spar, but she was good at it. She hadn't complained when he had left her alone in the woods, in fact she had found her own way out. He couldn't wait to get a chance to talk more with her.

Hunter was still being weird, ever since Tori had first gotten her, his mood had been a bit lighter. He didn't understand what it could have been and in fact he had avoided any questioning from Blake. Blake frowned remembering what Tori had said when she got there; the way their men were proven. With how good Tori was odds were she had already done it and had one at the castle. He sat up, that's what he was going to do. Next time he was there, he would go and get one and bring it back. Then in her kingdom he would be proven, and perhaps he would get to spend more time with her.

There was a knock at the door that he recognized as Hunter's, "Just a minute." Blake quickly changed his clothes. He wasn't going to tell Hunter what he was going to do, Hunter would only try and stop him. Instead he would wait until he came back, after all it shouldn't be that hard to get. He smiled as he finished getting dressed and then opened the door.

"Took you long enough."

"Sorry."

"It's alright. Mother and Father have news for us."

"What about?"

"I don't know. But we're having dinner early."

"Hunter, if they had had a different way to prove yourself in Elizabeth's kingdom, would you?"

"I don't know. Why? Are you thinking about what Tori said and how they determine it."

Blake looked at his older brother, "No, I was just curious."

"Good, because that's a suicide mission, I doubt even Cam has completed it. So you better not."

Blake nodded, but inside he was still planning on doing it.

After getting to the table they all began eating. Soon enough their Father spoke up, "Blake, Hunter we have good news."

"We've just received word from King Omino."

"What about?" Hunter asked as he put down his cup.

"Leanne and Cam are going to be getting married in a couple of months."

"Really?" Blake asked.

The Queen smiled, "Yes. You'll leave in about a month and then we'll be there a few days before the wedding."

Hunter nodded, "So the marriage is taken place there?"

"Yes."

Blake went back to eating, at least he'd get to see Tori and prove himself soon enough.

Back at King Kanoi's chamber

"So?"

"My daughter is back here safe and sound. She was there the entire time and nothing happened to her."

"I just know something will."

King Kanoi looked down, "You are still upset about your daughter, and no one can blame you, but it was an accident. Hunter did not mean anything by it."

"Yes he did. And I'll remind you that it happened on my land. Not theirs."

"And what do you mean by that?"

"Your son is getting married soon. Those princes will be in your kingdom running free. Your daughter will also be here. Odds are it'll happen then."

"I suggest you turn in for the night and then head back to your kingdom. You are tired and still upset about your daughter's death."

"Still upset? I'm angry that her murderer is still alive walking around."

"Now remember you told King Edward that it wasn't something you were going to pursue."

"Well, I was wrong. I've gotten different advice, and I think it's the wiser one."

King Kanoi stiffened, "Who was this advice from?"

"That doesn't matter."

"I think it does."

"No, what matters is that my daughter is dead."

"Listen, I suggest you go and get some sleep. We'll talk more when you've had a chance to calm down."

"Fine, but this isn't over."

The King stormed out of the room knocking over a young woman who was by the door. King Kanoi came out and saw her down on the ground. He offered his hand to her and she got up, "What are you doing over here?"

The red haired woman curtsied, "Princess Tori sent me over here to find out when the guests would be arriving for the wedding. I meant to talk with one of your other men, but no one was around and then I came here."

"Kelly, do not worry. Did you overhear anything?"

"Nothing but the end."

"Well then you can see there is no need for talk. Now, tell her the guests will be arriving starting a couple of weeks before it, except for Prince Hunter and Blake who will arrive before."

"Thank you, your Majesty." And with that Kelly hurried off, very much aware of the end of the conversation that had gone on between the two Kings. She was unsure what to make of it. Of course everyone knew about Hunter being the only one there present for Elizabeth's death, but…he just didn't seem to be one who would have actually done anything like that. Something about it didn't seem right. But it wasn't like she could do anything about it.

Author's Note: Does Blake seem a little odd about doing that, don't forget this is like medieval times, so...
