A Different Kind of Life

Chapter 21



Kel opened the door to reveal a page dressed in the Royal Uniform. The page bowed as she opened the door.

"Would the miss be Lady Keladry of Mindelan?" the page asked

"Aye, and you?" Kel replied friendly

"Alixzander of Jesslaw," Alixzander replied.

"Oh, so can I help you?" Kel asked

"Yes, their Majesties themselves asked me to deliver this to you!" Alixzander said, handing Kel a piece of paper.

"Oh hi Roald" Alixzander said as her peered into her room over her shoulder.

"Hi Alixz, you know it's very rude to look in a lady's rooms?" Roald questioned.

"Well yeah but you two have fun now!" Alixz said winking at the older girl.

"Shut up," Roald replied back as Kel closed the door and Alixz walked away.

"Don't be immature Roald, it's not very becoming," Kel said teasingly

"Quiet fool…. It's not very becoming," Roald mocked in a high girly voice.

"So anyway what does your note say?" Roald asked impatiently.

"Roald, It's MY letter, which means it's no of your business," Kel said patiently

"So what if it's yours? What can I say, I'm nosy!" Roald replied back

"I've noticed," Kel commented dryly.

"Just open it will you?" Roald impatiently snapped

"Hsssssssss," Kel replied but still opened up her letter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Lady Keladry,

It has been brought to our attention that you have challenged Sir Joren of Stone Mountain to a duel. Now, there is a problem with this challenge. Sir Joren will not be alive to accept it! His execution is scheduled for two nights time at the last daylight bell at the Royal Palace. Sir Joren's close friend Sir Garvey of Runnerspring has volunteered to take the challenge in his friends place. Do you accept?

Regards,

King Jonathan V

P.S. I've tried convince Thayet that this is a formal letter but she just wouldn't take no for an answer. She says good luck and to win for ladies everywhere.

Kel glanced over the letter and wordlessly handed it to Roald.

"Here your nosiness," Kel teased

"Ha-Ha, so funny," Roald replied

Roald fell silent as he read the letter. His eyes widen and turned stony and then they shrunk back to normal size. The stony color was still there. Kel shuddered and looked down. When Roald had his eyes like that it scared her. She looked at her stocking feet and yawned. She hadn't realized she was so tired. She wasn't even hungry or anything either. That was unusual…..

"Roald, I'm tired. I think I'm going to go to bed," Kel muttered sleepily.

"O.K., so you want me to get out?" Roald asked

"ummmm yea I was kind of thinking that," Kel said sarcastically.

"O.K. goodnight Kel, I'll see you tomorrow morning." Roald said and turned to leave.

"Wait Roald, are you going to be on the practice courts tomorrow morning, like early?" Kel asked hopefully.

"yeah, I usually go out there at about first bell," Roald replied, sounding confused

"Great, you can pick me up on your way! Thanks!" Kel replied

"sure, I guess, G'Night!" Roald said and left Kel rooms.

Kel changed into her dressing gown and snuggled under the covers. She couldn't wait for tomorrow.
