Hey people! next chapter is here! Thank you to everybody who reviewed, I really liked your comments! anyway here's the chapter!
The newcomer was a tall slim woman with chocolate brown hair that curled slightly at the ends, which was cut down to her shoulders. Her eyes were a piercing sapphire blue with a mischievous sparkle in them. She was elegantly clad in fawn breeches,calf-high riding boots, a light yellow tunic and a white shirt. A sword and dagger hung from her leather belt. They looked good quality and extremely well used.Her mouth was a deep shade of pink which was creased in a smile. Dom's jaw dropped,Neal nudged him grinning and he quickly shut it again
' Dear dear Raoul. Imagine getting engaged and not inviting me along!'
Her voice was a pleasant baritone with a hint of a northern accent.She spoke as if she hadn't noticed Dom's reaction
Raoul looked up from his food and gaped but returned to grinning a moment later. He strode forward to hug the mysterious stranger ' Never knew you to miss a party Natalia!' He grinned then added a moment later ' Invited or not!'
The lady laughed and hugged Raoul then took a swipe at him with a long- fingered hand 'Cheeky! It's Lady Natalia now Raoul! I got promoted you know'
Her eyes twinkled with merriment at the standing joke. Raoul ducked the swipe and led her to the table.
' Natalia,I'd like you to meet my betrothed. Buri this is Natalia of Tirragen,Natalia this is Buririam Tourakom, Commander of the Queen's riders
Buri went beet red with embarrassment at the mention of her former title.Natalia smiled in a friendly way and gave Raoul a light shove that set him down next to Buri,who gestured to the seat next to her.Natalia slid gracefully into the seat ' So Natalia, how do you and Raoul know each other?'
' Who this brusier? He's an old friend who helped me out of a jam when we were younger.You might say we are best friends!'
As Buri was about to reply the musicians in the room struck up a gentle waltzing tune.Raoul excused himself to his friends whilst Buri did the same to Natalia, they walked to the floor together and waltzed in time to the music.Natalia let out a soft chuckle,Buri was just up to Raoul's shoulder.They made an amusing pair.
At the other end of the table Dom tried to recover from his earlier loss of memory,when the lady had entered the room.Neal who was busy wolfing down his food as fast as possible noticed something was wrong.Deciding it was probably a girl,he chuckled and returned to his food which earned him a disapproving glare from Yuki.Kel felt a slight twinge of jealousy when she saw Dom's reaction to Natalia's entrance but quickly put it from her mind thinking. What's the matter with me?, I care about him but not like that!If he likes Natalia why am I so jealous?
