A/n I decided to finish the second chapter today. I'll get third one done soon as well. Thank you to my three reviewers

Alanna sat down on her bed. She noticed there was something there. She turned to find her charm (the one Mistress Cooper gave her.) She picked it up without worry of what this could mean.

BACK IN CORUS

Jon arrived at the palace. He went to go see his mother. He knew that he would need her approval if he were to marry Alanna.

"Mother" Jon asked as he entered her room

"What is it Jon" the Queen asked

Jon looked at the floor. " If I asked Alanna to marry me and she said yes would you let me marry her?" He said not looking up.

"You asked her to marry you?" The queen said in shock.

"I love Alanna" Jon said boldly. "I've loved her since she was a squire. I trust her with my life and she's already proven that she could protect me. She posed as a boy for seven years and still managed to keep up with the rest of the boys"

"I understand" the Queen answered. " Even though it was wrong I still have to give her credit for making it as far as she did. If you love her then you have every right to get married to her."

"The only thing is she never said 'yes' yet" Jon said.

"Give her time Jon. If you two are meant to be then she'll tell you" the Queen said.

BACK AT THE DESERT.

Alanna's last week in the desert passed by but she still couldn't make a decision. Alanna and Coram left the desert and rode back to Corus. Coram could tell something was bothering Alanna.

"Lass, what's bothering ye?" Coram asked as they rode.

"Well" Alanna said then taking a deep breath. "Jon asked me to marry him"

"What's so bad about that? You love him don't you?" Coram asked

"Of course I love him," she said. " It's just I don't know it I want to be queen. Also I'm not sure I want to have children yet."

"I see your problem" Coram said." If you two are meant for each other then you'll you will know if you make the right decision."

A/N Ok this chapter didn't have much romance in it but it WILL lead to something. I don't want everything big to happen in one chapter so that's why I'm spreading it out in smaller chapters. Please keep reviewing. It encourages me too write more(one of the reason I wrote chapter 2 so quickly) thanks
