(a/n Hi, thank you all who have reviewed my story you are all great!)

The next day if you were to walk into the mess hall you would see the Queen's ladies, the Queen herself and one very sour looking young girl seated next to the King and Queen a very amusing site I can tell you.

"Keladry, please try to look a bit happier about this." The Queen said with the tiniest of smiles playing round her lips.

"Sorry majesty but I'd rather be anywhere but here. I'd rather get trampled on by my horse than here, must it go on?"

Thayet laughed while the King looked disapproving. "I like the way you speak your mind Keladry, I don't often here that, it's usually your majesty this and your majesty that."

"Please don't call me Keladry, it's Kel please. I hate Keladry."

Thayet shrugged, "Well then I'm Thayet and this is John." She gestured unnecessarily to the very angry looking King.

Kel looked longingly across the room to where friends I the squires (including Roald) sat.

Thayet rolled her eyes when she saw where Kel was looking, "Go and join your friends then."

Kel looked startled "Can I? Really?"

"Of course I won't do for you to have that sour look on your face all day."

"YES, YES, YES!!! Thankyou so much majesty." She jumped up and ran-walked up to her friends where she sat in the only space left. By Roald. The King and Queen watched Kel play around with her friends though she was unusually quiet around Roald.

"What are you doing today?" Kel asked her friends in the squires.

"Going to the practise courts, riding the usual." Neal replied.

"I'll race you on Peachblossom." Kel said smiling at him, Neal basically started drooling then and there.

Cleon answered for him; "Sure, but you can't beat me with a sword."

Kel raised her eyebrows, "What I beat a fully grown knight and you still reckon you can beat me. Well I've never been one to turn down a challenge, I accept."

Cleon raised an eyebrow, "Your serious, you think you can beat me."

Kel nodded, "Oh yeah I think I can beat you and I, I can do it in a dress."

Everyone laughed at the thought of Cleon in a dress. All but one, Roald. He had been a great deal quieter than normal suddenly he asked, "Kel can I have a word?"

Kel all of a sudden looked decidedly uncomfortable "Um, I dunno I have to get Peachblossom warmed up."

"Don't worry Kel." Said a smiling Cleon. "We can wait." "Thanks Cleon." Said Kel standing up, she walked up and leaned down and said, "Watch yourself Cleon you might find that when we're fighting my hand slips and you might come out of it missing something you need in later life." The squires roared with laughter as Kel walked off smiling at the look of worry on Cleon's face.

"What do you want to talk about Roald?" Kel asked trying not to show how uncomfortable she was.

"You know what I want to talk about. I want to talk about us, and what we are going to do about us!" He said loudly, a bit to loudly.

She grabbed his arm and pulled him away and into her room where she locked and bolted the door. When she saw Roald staring at her she said, "I'm a girl who likes my privacy."

Roald sat down and looked down. "I'm sorry about last night, I know it was a bit sudden of me."

Kel raised an eyebrow a fraction, "Sudden isn't the word I would have used."

He blushed and looked down, then quickly looked up and caught her eyes. "I meant it you know I meant everything I said."

Kel looked like she was about faint and walked over to the bed and sat down looking very shocked. "You mean it?" She said faintly, "You're in love with me?" She looked at him, hazel eyes wide."

He brought his head close to hers and whispered "Yes." And then yep you guessed it he kissed her.
