Lioness Rampant… a little messed up
Ch.2-Anouncement
The next day Alanna went down to Mistress Cooper's house to see if George happened to be there. She was in luck. She brought Moonlight to the stables and knocked on Eleni Cooper's door. It opened to reveal a grinning George standing there with his hand on the door.
"Alanna!" Cried Eleni. "Come in, dear." Alanna stepped into the kitchen.
"Hello! Mistress Cooper, George."
"So what brings you here lovely lioness?" asked George.
"Well," Alanna sat down across from Mistress Cooper at the table. "Sit down."
George sat down in between the two women and looked at Alanna. "What Brings you, then M'lady?"
"First of all, call me a lady one more time and you're in deep trouble. Second of all, I came to tell you that well… I'm going to marry Jon after all. I hope you're not mad."
"Well lass. There's nothing I can do. Ye've made you're decision. And you're sure bout it?" he asked hoping she'd say no when he knew she wouldn't.
"Yes. I'm sorry, George."
"It's OK, lass. I've always known you loved him more." He said. Alanna nodded and lowered her head. "Well, I best be off, then. I've got me self a meetin' with some men down at the dancing dove." He stood and walked over to the door. "Keep in touch Alanna."
"Of course, George." He left and Alanna turned to Mistress Cooper. Alanna had a few tears in her eye's the just didn't seem to want to fall.
"He'll be fine. He love's you dearly but he wants you happy more." Eleni said softly. Alanna nodded again.
"If you aren't to busy would you mind if we took another try at teaching me how to walk as a lady?"
"Of course." Alanna followed Eleni into the back room and picked out a dress to wear. Alanna changed and put on some shoes. "Now, it's just… flow. It's Gracefulness." Alanna nodded and walked a few feet away From Eleni. "Very good! You've got some of the flow. You've improved since I last taught you." They practiced until Alanna had the flow down pat and then she changed back into her other clothes. She thanked Mistress Cooper and left. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alanna walked up the long hallway towards Jon's rooms. She knocked on the door and opened it slowly. "Jon? Are you in here?"
"In here!" he called from a small room in the corner. Alanna walked into the room and smiled at him. She sat close him on his desk where there were no papers. "Did you tell him?" he asked shuffling some papers into a pile and laying them down.
"Yes," she said.
"What took you so long, love?"
"Well I talked with George and Mistress cooper for awhile then George left and Mistress Cooper was helping me learn how to walk properly. If I'm going to be a queen I'll need to know how won't I?"
"Yes, that's true," he leaned up to kiss her and she leaned down. Their lips met and Alanna placed her arms around his neck and slipped into his lap. Jonathan's arms slid around her waist and he lifted her over to his bed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When morning came Jon and Alanna quickly got dressed and headed to the meeting room. Jon had scheduled another meeting to tell the others close that they were getting married.
"So who should we have announce that we're getting married?" asked Alanna whilst changing.
"How about… Raoul?"
"Alright" Alanna and Jon headed to lunch and Alanna told Raoul that she and Jon were to be married and that he had to announce it at dinner…
