(a/n You think this a Roald and Kel story. WRONG. Well actually I'm not sure whom she falls for. But someone falls for Kel, what does she do!!!! Read then REVIEW!!! Take th hint.)

Kel rushed into the squire breakfast room, she wanted to see Roald she needed to ask him something. As soon as she reached the door convent training kicked in she stood up taller and sort of swept into the room elegantly. She spotted Roald and swept over he was sitting with Cleon and a bunch of other people she didn't know.

"Hi, Cleon." She said with a nod. "Roald, I'd curtsey but…I can't be bothered, anyway I was just wondering if you could show me round the palace today? You don't have lessons do you?"

He smiled when the other boys looked at him in envy. "Of course I'll show round Kel."

She smiled "Thankyou so much, I've got lost once already. When you're done come find me I'll be in the stables."

When Roald raised and eyebrow she said. "I'm looking for a horse, a particularly vicious horse." She frowned "I think it's called Peachblossom."

This was Cleon who spoke next "You joking aren't you Peachblossom don't like anyone apart from Stefan and Daine."

She looked at Cleon, "Tut, tut Cleon don't you know how address an lady?"

Cleon blushed and looked down. "Cleon, come on I don't particularly care, anyway we're friends aren't we? So call me Kel. Anyway I've got to go, Peachblossom awaits." And with that she walked off.

"Peachblossom will kill her." Neal said looking at Roald and Cleon. "And anyway it's not fair just because you're prince you get the most beautiful ladies in court."

"We're friends Neal, and anyway I'll introduce you, at the stables."

Kel found the stabled all right, she also found a man talking with the horses. She approached carefully and asked, "Might you be Stefan."

The mans head flew up "And who might ye be?"

She walked towards him "Keladry of Mindelan, I'm here about the horse Peachblossom."

Stefan frowned at her, "He'll not like ye."

Kel rolled her eyes "Can I see him?"

Stefan nodded and led her to a stall where a strawberry roan stood looking grumpy. Stefan walked into the stall and Kel followed, "Be nice Peachblossom, or you'll answer to me." The horse snorted and shook his head vigorously. Kel walked out to look at the tack, "Do you have a side saddle for him?"

Stefan nodded saying "Side he'll kill ya!"

Kel shrugged "I like a horse who's lively."

"Do you wish me to tack him up for ye?"

Kel shook her head "I'll do it." She found the sidesaddle for Peachblossom and proceeded to tack him up perfectly.

Roald found Kel sitting on the evil horse Peachblossom she was sidesaddle and trotting him up and down an arena while the squires and pages watched amazed.

"Roald, come on the tour can wait, let's see what you can do on a horse! I challenge you t a race!" Kel shouted across the arena.

Roald shook his head "I'd beat you!" He called.

Kel dismounted and walked up Peachblossom following meekly behind her "Have you seen me ride, no. Just because your prince doesn't mean a girl can't beat you!"

He shook his head again. "Come on Kel."

"What are you afraid of? You think I might beat you? Are you scared?" Kel taunted.

"Come on then, I'll beat you then can we go on the tour?"

She nodded "Go get your horse tacked up."

10 minutes later Roald trotted out on his horse. He looked way to confident. Time to knock his confidence down a notch then isn't it? Kel thought. She mounted Peachblossom again and called "To the end of the arena, loser does anything the winner says!"

Roald nodded. "Cleon would you do the honours?"

Cleon winked at Roald; he knew that Roald had never been beaten in a horse race yet. "My pleasure, your highness."

Kel moved up to the starting line by Roald. "Prepare to lose!" She called.

Cleon walked up "Get ready, set, GO!!"

Roald and Kel went straight into a gallop at full speed, they were neck and neck. Then Kel said something to Peachblossom and they roared forward to win the race. Roald just couldn't believe it beaten by a Lady! He'd never live it down. He and Kel trotted back to the start and he and Kel dismounted. Kel walked up to him and said

"On your knees prince boy, and repeat everything I say."

Roald was smiling he knew Kel intended to make him look like an idiot but it was his own fault for taking the bet on. He kneeled smiling. "Repeat after me, Keladry Of Mindelan is the best Lady at court."

He repeated it and she carried on looking rather smug, "You should all bow down to her." He repeated it and then Kel said, "Get up, prince can't be kneeling in the dirt now can he?"

He got up and turned to find the squires laughing their heads off at his misfortune. He also saw his father looking angry and walking towards him. Uh- oh now he was in for it.

"Roald." He said voice dangerous the squires laughing shut up immediately. "I don't think it's quiet appropriate for you to be racing the noble ladies. Do you?"

Roald looked down.

"But, sire." An annoyed voice behind him said. "I challenged him to the race."

"Do you question my judgement?" The king asked looking at Kel. Oh no Kel Roald thought don't get yourself involved.

"Well if your going to put it like that, then yes I do…sire." Kel said rudely.

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"All I'm saying is that it's not right for you to have a go at Roald because he's the prince. When I was the one who asked for him to do it. So basically what I'm saying is that if you punish Roald you can punish me as well." She paused. "Sire."

The King went red and walked off muttering.

"Kel,." Roald said "Why did you do that?"

"Why? You're my friend I couldn't let you get into trouble for some thing you didn't do."

"Father doesn't like you now." Roald said seriously.

"What a shame, that breaks my heart that does, breaks my heart. Come on lets go and get the horses un tacked, then you can show me round."
