A/N Hey, it's been a while, hasn't it? Anyway, this chapter is a little short like the last one, but it is very important. IMPORTANT!!!!! READ IT WITH CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alanna ran with Jon following her all the way to the conference room. Of course, being the respectable people that they truly are, they slowed down as the approached the conference room.
"That was fun, wasn't it, Jon?" Alanna asked her husband, as she tried to catch her breath.
"Yeah, I suppose so," Jon replied.
Alanna and Jon walked into the conference room and sat down in their respected seats. King Ain was there, though he looked rather bored.
A man stood up. This man must have been the Prime Minister or something close to it. He introduced himself as Rionard of Fatiulan.
"We are here today to discuss the kidnapping of one Princess Alanna of Conte. She was taken from her home by one George Cooper, but on the orders of...." Rionard paused, stole a glance at the king and continued, "Well, we do not know who. Though this was the work of Tusaine."
King Ain nodded in agreement. The woman near him nodded as well. Alanna gasped.
It was that Catherine. That blonde-headed Catherine. Somehow Alanna knew this was not good. Catherine had a look of superiority pasted on her face. As her eyes drifted across the room, they settled on Alanna and glared at her. There was a sneer on her face.
Alanna's blood boiled with anger. Catherine must have been involved. She probably seduced George and wound him around her finger and was then able to get him to do whatever she wanted.
George, how could let this woman take you over? Alanna thought passionately.
The meeting continued on with Roinard saying some things about the entire situation and how they could do nothing because they were not sure who did had convinced George to kidnap Alanna.
Then it was Jon's turn to say something. "But, Sir Rionard, Princess Alanna was taken to Tusaine's side of the River Drell. She saw several someone's there. She saw those who kept her."
"She did? Ha! If she truly were knocked out as some claimed, then would she really even remember who she saw? I would've thought this George Cooper would have been able to brew at least a decent sleeping potion."
Alanna's blood boiled again. She rose swiftly, though Jon tried push her back down. "I did see someone! Two someones!"
The king looked amused. "And who may you have seen, Princess Alanna?"
"I saw a general named Sam and Jem Tanner, your brother. Jem Tanner threatened to kill me. He and the general said I was too dangerous to keep alive."
King Ain looked nervously from Catherine to Rionard.
"We will continue this later," King Ain said and walked out, followed by Rionard and Catherine.
Alanna turned to Jon. He looked worried.
"This is not good," he said, standing up. He walked out followed by Alanna.
Back in their room, Jon said, "King Ain fails to see what is right before his nose. Jem Tanner and that general kept you, but that this plot would be too much work for them to come up with."
"Who else do you think is involved?" Alanna asked. She already had her suspicions, but she wanted to know what Jon thought.
"Rionard, for one thing. He paused too many times in his speech, as though he were trying to make up a good enough lie fast on short notice."
"We'll get them though," Jon said, removing his heavy, wool tunic and shirt.
"Good. They deserve it," Alanna said, watching Jon fight with the buttons on his shirt.
"Of course, they do. They kidnapped my dear Alanna," Jon said, tackling the buttons.
She walked over to him and unbuttoned the button. She removed the shirt and placed it on the bed. She looked into his eyes, and then kissed him.
