~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Chapter 1. News!!!
Kel shut her eyes and tried - for the hundredth time - to go to sleep. She was failing miserably! It had been two days since she had got back to the palace from being with the Kings Own. She hadn't seen Neal or any of the others yet but she had heard someone saying in the hall "I suppose the King is looking forward to seeing the Lioness tomorrow" and his friend said "Yeah, but did you hear what she did when he would only put that Mindelan girl on probation? She stormed out of the room and hasn't spoken to him since!" - They stopped short when they saw Kel which was a pity 'because she would have liked to have heard more.
And if the Lioness was coming back that meant that Neal would be too because he was her squire. The last of the squires were coming back tomorrow and then they would be having classes again. She must have fallen asleep in the end because she suddenly woke up to Lalasa's gentle shaking and her friends the sparrows happily eating bread that Lalasa had already given them. "Time to get up Kel" she whispered. It had taken a lot of time and a lot of persuading to get Lalasa (a.k.a. Lal) to call her by her name instead of My Lady! After lots of yawning and complaining Kel finally got up, thinking about Neal. She had told Lal about her feelings for him but no one else. Well you could hardly blame her seeing as nearly everyone else in the palace was a boy!!!
Kel got into a tub full of hot water and got cleaned, dried and dressed in breeches and a shirt just in time to get outside the door for Lord Wyldon's inspection. Outside she saw that Neal, the crown prince Roald, Cleon, Seaver, Merric, and Faleron were back. She grinned at them and they grinned back. She couldn't stop looking at Neal. Oh he was so handsome! He noticed her staring at him and gave her a questioning look. She broke off, blushed and looked down. Oh great now I'm not going to be able to look him in the eye, she thought. Their first class was archery then fencing, Shang fighting and last of all tilting. By the time they'd finished Kel was sweating and felt as though her legs were turning to marshmallows!
Wyldon called everyone around him and said "as I'm sure some of you already know, the Yamani royal family are coming to visit in Tortall and there is going to be a feast and a ball afterwards to celebrate on Midsummer's evening. You are, as squires going to be serving the tables. We have had two strange requests, from the Yamanis. One, that the squires will eat with the important people at the feast, instead of eating afterwards. The pages will serve the squires and the squires will serve the important people. Two, that the squires will attend the ball and dance also. Then he started going on about wearing something smart for the feast and the ball.
Kel meanwhile was dumbstruck. The Yamanis were coming over and nobody had told her?!! I can't believe it I'll see Chis!!! Princess Chisakami was the princess of the Yamani islands and one of Kel's best and closest friends. They were like sisters. Kel hadn't seen her for about a year though. Her other best friends in the islands were four mages called Briar, Sandry, Daja and Tris. They were special types of mages. Sandry had magic with material and all types of weaving and thread, Briar with plants, Daja with metal and Tris with weather. It was kind of a strange group, seeing as Sandry was a noble, Briar was kind of a rogue, Daja was a trader, Tris was kinda normal, Chis was a princess and Kel was training to become a knight! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* I don't know if that's stupid or not. Oh sorry but I'm completely cutting Cleon out of Kel's life thing 'cause I think that Kel should go with either Neal or Dom. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
