A war! Lela was completely confused. Since when was there a war? That's
where her parents had gone. That's why they couldn't tell her. But why were
we going to war?
"My father wrote to me that if the peace talks fail, then I must leave in two days time for the battle field. We could be at war in three days." Prince Kori was the same age as Areida.
Lela needed to hear no more. She ran to tell Edmund.
She ran as fast as she could to the stables. Today Edmund would have just finished his riding lesson.
"Edmund, Edmund! There is going to be a war. Your going to have to fight and where going to lose, and-"
"Hush, Lela, I already know. Prince Kori told me yesterday," said Edmund, sounding very annoyed.
"Well why didn't anyone tell me! I only found out because I overheard them as I was walking through the hall." Lela did not want to admit she had been eavesdropping.
"Sure you did, now if you must know, mother and father have written me a letter, saying I must go to the battlefields in Two days time."
"Aren't you scared?"
"Of course not, I have been waiting for this ever since I could hold a sword. Besides, the future king cannot be *scared*. Now leave me alone I must prepare."
Lela could not believe that they had kept this secret from her. She did not know how, but she knew this would be a horrible war unlike any other.

This was a boring chapter, I know, but it was necessary.
