"Shh!" Alanna whispered after Raoul practically shouted…
"You're getting married?" luckily no one heard him.
"Sorry…" Raoul leaned back in toward Alanna and she told him everything.
"OK?" Alanna asked as pages and squires rushed to get to their lessons and duties.
"OK…but I'll ask the king to announce it at dinner, alright?"(A/N: Diner as in lunch, OK?)
"I'd rather you did it…Please?" Alanna pulled herself out of her seat. "I'll see you later."
"OK. Bye." Alanna walked over to where Jon was standing talking to someone Alanna couldn't see.
"Jon, who are you talking to?" She asked when she was about a meter away, she still could not see who it was.
"Julie, she's from Trebond." He said and Alanna ran over faster than she ever had before.
"Julie!"
"Alanna?" Both Girls flung their arms around each other.
"I thought you might now her." Jon said with an amused smile on his face.
"Of course I know her Jon!" said Alanna stepping back from the girl. "She's my best friend!"
"How are you? I haven't seen you since before you left to become a knight! How did it work out? I never thought I'd see you in a dress! What have you been doing all this time?"
"I'm good and so glad to see you! My ordeal for knighthood was about 2 months ago and yes, I'm wearing a dress, amazing isn't it?"
"Yes…Who could have made you wear a dress? And with a neck line that low?"
"Well…The prince did…I didn't want to but I don't disobey my prince."
"You know the prince personally?" her friend was amazed. Alanna showed her friend the ring Jon had given her before she left for the dessert a year before. "OH MY GOD!"
"Shh! Not many know…yet. Only you, myself, Jon and Raoul."
"Jon? Raoul?" her friend asked. "Who are they?"
"Jon is the prince and Sir Raoul of Goldenlake."(A/N: is that right?)
"Excuse us your majesty," said Julie.
"Just Jon please, none of that formal stuff."
"Alright, well. Will you excuse us then…Jon?"
"Of course."
Julie led Alanna over to a small corner and said, "Alanna, I thought you never wanted to be married? You wanted to be a worrier maiden and go on adventures. Why do you marry so soon?"
"Because I know that no one loves me like Jon does. He's special and dear to me. He understands me better than anyone else does, ok not Thom or you, but still. All those years I acted as a boy, he was the only one at the castle who knew."
"And, not to be rude to him but, why did you marry the prince? Before you left you said you'd never marry and that even if you did it wouldn't be a prince. You also added if they even gave you a second glance but that's not the point. You'll have to go to millions of balls, parties, wear dresses all the time. You'll hate it!"
"I'm not a child now, anymore than you are. I have made my decision. Julie, I love him. I want to spend the rest of my life with him. But I will still go on adventures. You could come if you wanted. " Alanna said.
"Well if you're sure, the I guess you'll be happy."
Alanna and Julie made their way back over to Jon, who was talking to Gary and Raoul. I hope he isn't telling them Alanna thought. Just her luck, he wasn't. They were talking about her!
"Hello," Alanna said walking up behind Jon with Julie beside her. "What are you talking about?"
"You, lovely Lady Lioness." Jon said knowing she'd get annoyed when he called her a lady.
"Jon, you know I don't like being called a lady. Why do you say it?" She asked him.
"Because your cute when you're annoyed," he said slipping his arms around her waist. She smiled and started to kiss him slowly.
"What time is it?" said Raoul. Seeing that his plan to brake them out of their snogging session wasn't going to work he nodded his head towards the door in a gesture for Julie and Gary to follow him out. They left Alanna and Jon alone in the room, except for a scattered few pages and squires.
"You're getting married?" luckily no one heard him.
"Sorry…" Raoul leaned back in toward Alanna and she told him everything.
"OK?" Alanna asked as pages and squires rushed to get to their lessons and duties.
