488 H.E. 4th year of reign of Roald and Shinkokami
Again in front of the large fire place but it is summer and there are sparrows in the open windowsill. Kel and Dom are sitting on the left of the Fireplace facing their 8 year old daughter Railana.
Kel- Railana, you wanted to tell us what you wanted to do
Railana- Yes, mother I know. I want to take a different path than my older brothers and sisters. I would like to learn to be a lady.
Kel- (very shocked) Railana, don't you want to do something with your life.
Railana- Mother there are plenty of outstanding women who went to learn to be a lady. I mean both Grandmas' went.
Kel- Darling you know your Grandma Ilane only went to the convent because it was what women did.
Railana- I feel that I want to go mother. I am not a warrior. Will you get that through your mind? I am not the great lady night Catherina or Squire Arianna. You told us we could decide what we wanted to do with our lives within reason. I am being reasonable. I am only asking to do what women have done for eons. If you want another lady night daughter ask for one of the multitudes of lady knights, lady squires or lady pages that is clamoring for you. (Slams door)
Kel starts crying, Dom comforts her
Dom- I knew she was different you shouldn't have egged her on like that.
Kel- (Sniffing) I just want her to be happy. I could never think of anyone ever being happy their.
Dom- You have two year left with her. She might change her mind. Or you could at least instruct her to protect herself with that lady fan thing and a glaive. But remember both you're sisters went and so did many other upstanding ladies.
Kel- I'm going to ask Roald for some months off ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Railana's Thoughts- I can't believe mother said those things. I mean her parents let her do something different when they sent her to knight school. Can't she accept that maybe just maybe I want to someone different than the little baby that follows in the footsteps of my 4 older siblings? I am going to be a lady. I refuse to be a knight. If Mother protests I'll call my aunts to help me. But I mean I'm in a family of radicals. I wish I could live in a more conservative household where they would applaud my decision and start getting me ready for it. But of course my family the radicals are all in favor of no more school for the ladies. I'll change that view, I know I will.

AN- Hi this is a thing I thought up. I might change the rating later on. Please review on my ideas.
Thank you, jewlz555 for reviewing my story. I am trying to put much more on but with school it gets hard.
Ps I put the date wrong on the last one. Add 10 years. It is a stupid mistake so I'm sorry
