Chapter 5. Whoa, What's Up with That?
Alanna sat miserably in Duke Garth (the Elder)'s Office. Talk about déjà vu! He was busy lecturing them on their behavior... "... I thought I taught you better then that, chasing each other about the halls like you were first year pages! I expected better than that from you lot! And Jon! Did you completely forget people ARE watching you you're the king! Gary you're Prime Minister! You should be setting an example! Raoul, Buri! How on earth did you get involved in this! And why ever were all of you running around like hoodlums?" " Well ... It started when-" Alanna began. "Never mind I don't want to know. But you must improve your behavior! It was absolutely outrageous!" " What are you going to do about it? We're not pages or squires anymore and you're not the training master. You can't punish us." replied Jon "And I'm King." He added. " Oh yes I can punish you. You all are getting two bells work every Sunday for the next three months for fighting, a month of scrubbing the pots for insolence. And an hour of mathematics for the next five weeks for pertness Jon." Alanna smiled at this and Raoul whispered to Buri "Maybe this will stop him from being such a prig! Oh, this is so great!" "Do you think it's funny?" the Duke asked "Very well you shall all be attending every class the pages do for a week, and Jon you still have to go to mathematics." Gary thought to himself the entire time. Well its back to this is it? This is going to be awfully embarrassing. Oh well, it's defiantly better to be the page then the training master. And it might actually be fun. Since we're getting to be pages again, maybe we can pull a few more pranks on Jon. I can't wait to see how people react to him attending mathematics class! Jon sighed. This was going to be awfully hard to explain to Thayet. Sigh. All because of a couple frogs ...
