Ch.1
"Yeah, yeah, yeah… who really cares?"
"I do, my dear Mirala."
"Don't call me 'dear' Wesley, I don't like it."
"Sorry… sweets."
"Wesley, I'm not your wife or anything, so just shut up."
Wesley grinned crookedly at her, a lady knight. Which was spectacular unto itself since lady knights were getting few and far between these days. It was mostly because of how rapidly Tortall was growing. Just centuries ago it was a small, rural land, but it had grown fast and was now one of the largest and renown countries in the world. And thus lady knights had lost much of it's appeal, considering the fact that Tortall was the only place that had them. Other countries looked down upon Tortall for these peculiarities, so Tortall turned to be more like others, and get rid of such strangness's.
Mirala was actually the last lady knight to be knighted in over a year. Which showed how much they were dying away. There was a time when 100 or so would be knighted every year. Mirala didn't seem to care though. She was content in adventuring about, and laughing at people who were in awe of her. Most people couldn't fathom how a woman could survive a knight's life.
But at the moment, Mirala was faced with something she could hardly survive: studying. Wesley and she were in the palace library, searching in novels for information about the Doi tribesmen. King Jonathon I (the Jon in the TP books is the IV) and his Queen Isabella had requested Mirala and Wesley go make peace treaties with the Doi, who weren't very violent as tribesmen go, but were powerful. Since not much was known about their ways, this particular journey required study before they set off.
Mirala hated study; it was her worst subject as a page, her best being sword and hand fighting. So naturally, she was a fighter and had a very direct personality. Wesley was a knight also, but got around to things in a subtler manner. He was always stopping Mirala from speaking out at the wrong times, he was sense and she was force. Which might have explained why they were lovers at one time. But now life had gotten hard, and they became, simply, friends, and many times companions.
Wesley turned the big volume called "Tribes in the Eastern Lands" over to Mirala. Mirala groaned, "Alright, haven't we filled our heads up enough, what more could we possibly learn about the Doi? We basically know their whole way of life by now."
Shaking his head, Wesley replied, "There's always more to learn Miral."
