Lady Lioness: A Queen
Ch.3-Announcement:Part 2
*************************************** Later that day:
Alanna was up in her and Jon's room, getting dressed for dinner and ball. She slipped on a shiny, violet dress with a average,V neckline. The dress was long and went down to her feet with a slit up the side that came to a bit higher than her knee. The sleeves were long also and hung about 6 inches off her wrist. Alanna quickly brushed her hair and scrunched it a bit with her hand. She opened the door to go look for Jon and Raoul was standing there with his hand up getting ready to knock on the now open door.
« Oh, » said Raoul stupidly. « Jon is waiting for you in the sitting room next to the dinning hall. He wants to talk to you about something. He wouldn't tell me what though. »
« OK. Would you care to escort me? »
« Of course M'lady. » Said Raoul holding out his arm for her.
« Don't call me that! » said Alanna. « You know I hate it! »
« But its fun! » Alanna Scowled and took his arm.
« Come on. Lets go. » They set off down the hall, Turned a few corners, walked down more halls, went down two flights of stairs, turned one more corner and walked past the door to the dinning hall and entered the next door to come, about halfway down the hall.
«Well, I'll leave you here then. » said Raoul letting down Alanna's arm.
« Alright. How will this announcement work? » asked Alanna.
« Jon will explain. » Raoul turned, walked back to the door of the dinning hall and entered. Alanna opened the door to the small sitting room and walked in.
« What did you want to talk to me about? » asked Alanna, though it didn't show she was worried that he wouldn't want to marry her anymore or something.
« Oh, I just wanted to explain how the announcement will work. I talked it over with my father and we've decided how it will work. We thought it would be the best way and that you would agree. »
« Alright, though you still should have taken me to that meeting I trust your jugement. »
« OK. My father will announce that we are getting married and then the harold will announce us and we will walk through the doors and down the steps and take our seats just below my father and mother. » he said. « Is that alright? »
« Excellent. » Said Alanna.
« We should go to the door now. » said Jon standing up. He held oput his arm to the still standing Lioness. She took it smiling. She was so glad that Jon had refused to let her leave the room they held the meetings in until she said she would marry him. No matter how much she hadn't wanted to be a queen she was completely sure she'd made the right decision. Upon reaching the right door they heard a glass being tapped by someone in order to get everyone in the halls attention. The hall went quiet and the king started to speak.
« Select few of the people gathered in this room right now know why they are here. Tonight is very special and effects all future of Tortall. Tonight I have been given the permission by my son and Lady Alanna of Trebond and Olau to announce their marriage. » He stopped speaking and a wave of applause followed by another wave of whispers hit the hall. When everyone stoped whispering the Harold began to speak.
« Presenting Prince Jonathan of Conté and Lady Alanna of Trebond and Olau. » He spoke in a very loud and low voice. Then he turned and opened the door for Alanna and Jon to enter. Arm in Arm they entered and glided down the stairs together. When they reached the bottom of the staircase another wave of applause hit the hall. Alanna and Jon took their seats just below Jon's Mother and Father (the king and queen). Soon after the applause died down the food came. It was delishious, Alanna had to admit, though it always was. Next to her, Julie sat and the two friends talked about the wedding while Jon and Raoul talked about the almost same thing. Though Jon and Raoul weren't worried about were or when, they talked about how well the news came to the people in the hall.
Alanna and Julie talked about everything.
« So, The news went well with the people here, when do you think you"ll have the wedding? Where do you think? » asked Julie questioningly.
« I`d like to have it in the summer, outside. » said Alanna. « It would be nice to have it, maybe, by the ocean or in a nice field with flowers everywere. »
« You`re kidding? »
« Yeah I am. You think i`d get married in a flower covered field? No way in hell »
« You haven`t changed as much as I thought. You still hate flowers, you have a colorful temper and you still love fighting and beeing a knight enough to marry the idea. The only thing that has changed about you is your hight, age and that you`re going to be a queen when ever since you were 5 never wanted to be. »
« Hey! I`ve told you why I'm marrying Jon. I love him and not wanting to be a queen will never stop me from marrying him. Not even death will stop me loving him. »
« I know Alanna. » *************************************** This chapter is probably boring and is only 4pages in Microsoft Word but at least its something. If you would like someone to die and want to suggest someone please tell in a review.
