THE EMPERORS LADY

          "I can't believe she just left like that! She didn't even say goodbye!" Neal exclaimed throwing down the book he was reading in anger.

          "Well at least we know she will be happy where she is, she wouldn't have left otherwise." Cleon remarked working on an extremely difficult math problem.

          "We will meet again. You just wait and see." This comment came from Roald who had his nose buried in a book of Yamani poetry.

          It was the 1st day of the year after Kel's page years & the study group were sitting in Neal's room discussing Kel's departure. Lord Wyldon had just announced, at dinner, that she had left and would not be coming back to earn her shield.

          "How can you be so sure, Roald?" Merric asked the Prince

          "I just know ok," he snapped back

          Suddenly the bell rang signalling to the boys that it was time for lights out.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~NEXT DAY~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

" Looks like your girlfriend couldn't handle the pressure, Neal." Joren laughed

          "Neal, forget it. He isn't worth the trouble." Merric reasoned walking up next to him.

          "You know for once you actually make some sense, Merric. He isn't worth the trouble." Neal replied resuming his path towards his and Kel's usual table.

Over the next 2 years the boys spent their time off with their Knight masters or in Neal's case Knight mistress but when they got back to the castle, that is when they really miss her the most.
