I DONT WANNA BE A LADY
CHAPTER 2
THE CONVENT
'' That was hours ago'' Alanna thought to herself '' To think I was that close to becoming the 1st lady knight in over a hundred years. Oh well you know what they say ' if you can't bet them join them.' because it is going to be 6 years till I get out of this hell hole.''
she added silently to herself.
Alanna rode her mare "Princess" into the stables and began to groom her.
" Alanna don't do that it's what the stable boys are her for. Now come on and keep that dress out of the mud." Maude added seeing the evil grin on Alanna's face.
'' That was the most unpleasant ride I've ever taken I'm going to get Maude for making me wear this dress so I had to ride side saddle.'' Alanna thought for the third time that minute.
" Hurry up child we mustn't keep the priestess waiting" Maude called from the end of the hallway. Alanna approached Maude outside an old ugly door. Maude pushed it oped and they went inside. On the other side of the room they walked into was another door not as ugly as the first but ugly all the same. As they walked into the room the door opened and an old lady walked out.
"Alanna of Trebond, Priestess Maude the head is waiting for you. If you would follow me please." and with that said she walked through the door again. The head priestess was an old lady sitting at a desk.
" Please sit my children make your self comfortable." and that they did for even thought the chairs were old they very comfy. "Now Alanna your years here will be filled with learning the different arts of being a lady. You will learn embroidery, dancing, deport, manners and by the looks of magic as well." the priestess explained "Breakfast is at 7am sharp I advise you not to be late. Your first class is embroidery at 8:15am then you have dancing at 9:45 and after that is deport at 11:15 and then you have at 12:45pm manners then in addition to your other classes is 1 more class magic and it begins at 2:15 finishing at 4:00pm with a brief lunch. At 5:00 until 6:45 the girls have free time to go into the city or sit and read. Then it is time to get ready for dinner at 7:30 until 8:45 and lights are out at exactly 9pm no exceptions. Have you got all that?" the priestess asked
"I think so" Alanna replied
"Good now Marie! come in here please." the head priestess called and a young girl walked in. " Alanna Marie will be your maid fro the time you are here. Now l suggest you get some sleep tomorrow is going to be a long day."
