The next day….
"Has anybody came up with who it might be, yet?" one of the ladies called Cressidda asked.
"Well it isn't Lanna, I don't think," Dafeenie told them while stitching a flower on her embroidery.
"What makes you think that?" Lelinor said putting her embroidery down on the table. The women were sitting embroidering at the table.
"I was speaking to Lady Lanna and I told her that the prince was taken to her," Dafeenie said.
"And?" one of the ladies asked.
"I was getting to it. She said he was taken and so was she. That's all she really said about it. Are you all happy now?" Dafeenie demanded getting back to her flower.
"I wonder who it is. I wish I knew." Ethalynne said wistfully.
"We will find out soon enough. He will probably go off her like he did Delia," Carowline said, the women laughed. None of them liked Delia of Eldorne that much and all thought that she deserved what happened to her.
"She could have been the reason he went off her. We could still try and get it out of Gary and Raoul. Tonight everyone try and get lots of drink down them. We could all say we saw Jonathan with a young woman and they seemed friendly. We could also say that she seemed familiar and ask them what her name is," Cressidda suggested.
"We would have to make sure they've got enough drink down them though, " Ethalynne said thoughtfully.
"But where would we see the prince with her?" Dafeenie asked.
"We could say that we saw him in the city with her," Carowline said.
"But we would have to make sure which day we saw him with her and make sure that he was in the city that day," Dafeenie pointed out.
" I was with Matalie last Friday in the Queen Sadíl garden and we saw him go to the city on his own, out one of the small south gates. Then we went up the wall and watched him go into the city," Kience, one of the quieter women said. Matalie was her younger sister by a year.
"Very well, we will say that all of us saw him with a young woman who we all thought was familiar but can't place her. Oh, I just thought they might ask what she looked like and we wouldn't know. What would we say?" Ethalynne said worried.
"It was raining last Friday," Dafeenie said amused. The women looked at her with slightly confused looks. When Dafeenie saw that none of them would get what she was hinting at she said exasperated, "Her hair would be wet or her cloak would be up so we wouldn't be able to see what colour her hair would be."
"Oh right! So is everybody agreed that we say that her cloak was up so we couldn't see what colour of hair she had. We saw her and Jonathan kiss goodbye for several minutes and then they went in separate directions and when the woman walked past us we saw her face and that's how she seems familiar. Everyone agreed with that story because we have to stick to that story if we saw something else it might be a little bit suspicious?" Ethalynne asked. All the women nodded.
"How are we going to play with them?" Raoul whispered sharply.
"I don't know, " Gary said defensively.
"Well you were the one who came up with the idea to play with them, not me! You should of came up with what we were going to do," Raoul snapped.
"What? I have to come up with everything?" Raoul glared. "I thought we would just come up with it as we went along," Gary whispered.
Raoul was about to reply when a voice they recognised said, "Hey guys, what you arguing about?" They lifted their heads quickly towards the speaker it was Alanna.
"Nothing," they both said quickly at the same time. She raised her eyebrows in disbelief about to reply when Jonathan found them.
"There you lot are. We've been looking for you. We're going down to the Dove are the two of you coming?" Jon asked smiling oblivious of what had been going on before he came.
"I'm not busy. Raoul?" Gary said looking at Raoul; he shook his head.
"By any chance will we see your cousin Lanna? " Raoul asked as they walked down to the city.
"Sadly no," Alanna said smiling. He let out an audibly noise of relief. "What's wrong with my cousin?" Alanna said defensively stopping to look at him, everybody stopped in the middle of the road down to the city.
"It's just…" Raoul trailed off. Gary hid a grin by looking away from the pair.
Should of known he would do that, Gary thought. It's working though. He made a sound of a held in laugh. Jon looked at his cousin and caught his eye. They both smiled and Jon had to turn away also to stop himself from bursting out laughing.
"Well come on what's wrong with her?" she snapped impatiently.
"She was, I kind of thought she was throwing herself at everyone," Raoul said carefully know what the outcome to that would be. He tried not to let a smile come out when she did exactly what he thought she would.
"So does almost every women at court!" she said outraged.
May as well put my input into this, thought Gary
"They do?" Gary said in an oblivious tone that if she wasn't angry would know it was teasing.
"Well of course you wouldn't notice since you're one of the ones who they're throwing themselves at," she said know directing her anger towards Gary.
"Ah, yeah," he said in a misty voice and glazed look in his eyes before saying normally. " I rather think they throw themselves at our darling prince than myself."
Gary smiled at his cousin. Jon narrowed his eyes and glared at him for bringing him into it.
She turned at Jon and glared. "What? It's not my fault. I can't help it if they go for me," he told her throwing out his arms in defensive putting on t he most innocent look he can.
"Doesn't mean he doesn't enjoy it though," Raoul muttered to Gary.
"I would to," Gary told him. Jon and Alanna looked at them silently. Both of them looked like they wanted to kill them.
"You better not," she told him sternly losing some off her anger.
"Don't fret I'm not interested in any of them anymore," He told her sincerely. She looked at him sharply and he said "Oops." Gary and Raoul sniggered into hands.
She shook her head and walked off ahead of them muttering something about men.
"What did you do that for," Jon asked them.
"Relax, she'll calm done soon, you know hat she's like," Gary told him unconcerned before quickly walking after Alanna.
"And what wrong with her cousin?" Jon asked Raoul.
"Nothing," Raoul smiled. " But she wasn't there now was she? She doesn't know what happened." Raoul quickly walked off after Gary and Alanna leaving Jon to think what he about what he meant.
Jon stood for a few moments thinking about what Raoul said before he called, "Wait for me!" running to catch up with them.
So what did you think? Norah email me to tell you what you meant. If anybody has any idea about where they want the story to go email them to me. (I need help with the plotlessnes and block of this story.)
It's the holidays so I should be able to get a couple more parts up, I'm usually to busy to get them up during the week and I can only spend a couple of minutes on a part some days so I have to write most of this on Sunday or Saturday but I'm usually busy doing homework at the same time. That is why I don't reread or draft them I don't have time and I can't be bothered. I'm being lazy I know, spelling doesn't really matter, I use the spell and grammar check and so I don't bother.
That is one of the reasons why my grammar I so bad and the fact that I don't pay that much attention in English, I just talk, and that's when the teacher can actually get round to teaching my class which has people in it a lot of the teachers just want to hit (not me though) and I'm only 13.
