Thayet had taken a very bad response to
what Rachel had said. Neal had called her two daughters sluts and then had
called Keladry of Mindelan a bitch. That was bad enough, but he had to go and
say that his life would have been a lot better off if he had never met those
three.
After talking to Jonathon, she and
Alanna went and confronted him in front of all the pages and squires, actually
in front of the whole court. He deserved it.
They were having a party, the whole
court was there, and the pages and squires (except Roald) were serving. After
dinner was over, everybody moved to a ballroom. Now usually the pages and
squires got to leave eat and go to sleep, but Thayet told them that they had to
stay.
About ten minutes after Thayet had said
that, Alanna stood up. "Would Page Keladry and Page Nealan come here please."
Kel glared at Neal (because her feelings
were still hurt from Neal calling her a bitch) and walked up to the thrones.
She glanced over at Kalasin and Rachel. Rachel signaled Neal was in for it.
Kel nodded to Rachel and walked the rest
of the way (to the thrones) in confidence. When they got to the thrones, Rachel
and Kally walked over to stand with Kel. They stood off to the side, because
they were only there to tell them what Neal had said to them.
Thayet and Jonathon stood up, along with
Alanna and Lord Wyldon, commanding everyone's attention.
"Page Nealan, these past few weeks seem
to have been misery for you. What with Princess Rachel coming here. Kel saying
she's not your friend. Some of your other friends not agreeing with you and
going to make friends with Rachel and Kally. But I believe that you made a
grave mistake insulting my daughters and Page Keladry." Thayet spat out the
last sentence. "If you wouldn't mind girl's, could you tell the whole court
what he said to you?"
"Of course, mother." Kally curtsied and
Rachel did the same. Kel bowed because she wasn't wearing a dress.
"Rachel, Kel and I were walking towards
the stables talking about-" She looked towards the other girls for help.
"We were talking about Kel's training."
Rachel supplied.
"Yes, talking about Kel's training, when
Spook-" Rachel held out a hand and Spook landed on it. "-Flew in front of us
and was looking really funny. We laughed at him and then-" Rachel took over
because this was what they had planned to do.
"-We hear Neal saying it's not nice to
laugh at animals. I said to Neal, 'Spook was trying to make us laugh, because
he said that we looked way too serious." Rachel waited for the laughter to die
down before she continued on. "Neal said, 'Yeah right, like you can even talk
to animals.' I remember us saying something back to him. I think it was
something that his horse had told me. He retorted that at least-" Rachel
stopped there and lowered her head. She was too ashamed to go on. Kalasin
nudged Kel to go on with the story.
" He said that at least-at least his
horse didn't have sluts or bitches riding her. Then Neal walked away before we
could say anything."
"Later that day," Rachel went on, "I was
going to my studies with Numair, feeling a little sorry for myself, when I saw
Owen. I decided that I wasn't going to let anybody know that what Neal had said
to me had really hurt me. So I acted all cheerful around Owen, and I tried
around Numair, but he saw that I was feeling really down. That's when I told
mother and Alanna."
"Same with Kel and me," Kally said, "I
was feeling real awful, until I told Alanna about it."
"I had felt horrible until her majesty
insisted I tell her what had happened." Kel added.
"Rachel, Kally and Kel looked out at the
whole court and what they saw comforted them. They saw disgust for Neal.
