Keladry of Mindelan made her way through the Tortall Palace. Keladry, Kel to her friends, had recently established her knighthood and received the title of 'Lady Knight', the only other was Sir Alanna of Pirate's Swoop and Olau. Kel was searching for her new chamber, which she had been given the previous day and experienced an exceptionally hard time finding. Kel had spent a great deal of time in the castle during her page and squire years, but she rarely visited the knight accommodations. After wondering in endless circles, Kel discovered herself in front of her best friend's door. She knew that Nealan of Queenscove would be willing to help her, since he lived in the palace for most of his life. Kel knocked on the door a few times before a handsome blue-eyed man opened it. Kel stared at him for a moment, before reminded of why she was there. "Umm... Neal, hello! Do you think you could show me where my room is? Kell pleaded uncertainly.
Neal rolled his eyes, "you forgot, again? I guess, if I must, come on." Neal made his way confidently down the corridor, while Kel followed. After a few turns, Neal stopped in front of the entrance to Kel's room. "Here we are!" Announced Neal.
"Thank you," praised Kel with her words and a hug. She pulled away quickly, a slight blush tinting both their cheeks, and opened the door. Kel found herself face to face with none other than the heir to the Tortall throne, Prince Roald of Conte, who looked quite shocked to see one of his close associates in his chamber. "Roald! Oh my Goddess, Neal... he told me that... this isn't my room? I'm so sorry. Umm..... do you know where my room is?" Questioned a worried and apologetic Kel.
"Hello Kel, Neal," Roald said with a nod to both. "I believe your room is the next one on the left, right beside mine."
Well, I was close," Neal said.
"Shut up!" Kel hissed and punched Neal in the arm, who winced from the impacted. "Sorry again and thank you." Kell called as she dragged a pained Neal towards her room.
"Don't worry about it, Kel. I'm just sorry Neal was with you." Whispered Roald, as he watched the pair retreat.
Thank you for reading and please do not hesitate to review, whether good or bad. I am more than happy to receive any comments you may have on my literary format. I'll have the second chapter up very soon. Thank you again.
