Fighters For A Princess
Princess Kitty and her knights rode to the tourney with Lord Kurt and his sister Lady Rogue and his friends, Sir Roberto and Sir Sam.
On the road to the tournament, they met up with the king of the realms daughter, Princess Amara and her ladies and knights.
The two princesses rode next each other and chatted happily the whole trip, much to everyone elses' dismay.
"Like, what are you going to wear for the tourney?"
"I will be wearing a mother-of-pearl gown and my mother's sapphire and pearl earrings and necklace. What will you be wearing?"
"A soft pink dress with a long train, oh! And I'll wear like, pink roses in my hair and pink pearls on my neck and wrists. Do you know any of the knights who will be competing for me?"
"Well its no secret that Lord Kurt will be competing, and several knights from all over the realm. I've even heard that a Scottish princess is bringing her knights over to compete for you. But the one you have to beware of is Sir Ray of the Firewood."
"Who?"
"Sir Ray, the young man with the funny hairstyle that stays away from court? You don't mean to say that you've never heard of him?"
"Actually, I like, have never been away from my homeland before. And we like, don't here many tales of far away lands."
"You poor sheltered child! But mayhaps its better that you've never heard of him. There are some things that even I wish I had never heard."
"Like, what events are there going to be?"
"Jousting of course, sword fighting, archery, oh! And the silly young man from wherever that was convinced the king to add pie fighting to the lists. Can you imagine? Grown men fighting each other with pies. Its utterly ridiculous!"
Lord Kurt had been riding close to the princesses during their chatter and took that moment to cut in.
"I think its wunderbar," he smiled. "You don't get hurt, and you can get fed at the same time."
The two princesses were rather surprised that he had butted in and showed it in their blank stares.
Poor Lord Kurt looked even more blue as he trotted up towards the front of the train.
"Ladies and gents! May I introduce to you, Princess Katherine!" the announcer bellowed and the crowds started cheering.
Princess Kitty felt her cheeks growing pink as she bowed and sat down in her balcany with her knights.
"If you don't like the winner I can dispose of him for you," promised a man from the balcany entrance.
Sir Logan stood up and drew his sword as the funny haired stranger walked in and sat down next to the princess.
"My name is Sir Ray of the Firewood milady," he told her, brushing her hand gently with his lips. "You can tell your man that I mean no harm to you and that he can be at ease while I am around," he added, glancing nervously at Logan.
At a nod from his mistress the burly knight sat down.
"Now thats better," Sir Ray smiled. "Would you like me to point out the knights that have the best chance of winning your hand?" he offered.
The princess stared down at the multitude that was staring up at her and begging to be her knight.
"Like sure!"
"There is Lord Kurt, he is an incredible swordsman if I do say so myself, there is good Sir Sam, Lord Kurt's companion, and Sir Roberto, also companion to Lord Kurt. Ah! Now there is a knight! Sir Piotr of Lord Magneto's court. If they are allowed to use their powers I'm sure he is more than likely to win.
"There is Sir Evan of Princess Amara's knights, sitting next to his aunt Lady Ororo of course. Poor lad, can't stand by himself for too long. Its a shame. Sir Robert, step-brother to the princess of Scotland, Lady Rahne. And of course there are the good knights in your own court, Sir Scott and his brother Sir Alex. Have I left anyone out?" he asked, turning to Sir Logan.
"I think you've covered just about all of em except for that strange blond knight down there," Sir Logan grumbled.
Sir Ray glanced down at the mob of knights.
"Good heavens you're right!" he exclaimed. "I had completely forgotten about Sir Pyro, and don't forget Sir Gambit. They are both good knights of Lord Magneto's court. Ah!" Sir Ray stopped to frown at several knights that were entering their names to the lists.
"I know that guy!" Princess Kitty squeaked, jumping up out of her seat to stare at the greasy knight with a hankerchief up his nose. "Isn't that like, Sir Whats-his-name?" she asked.
"Sir Lance. Also Sirs Fred, Toad, and Pietro. They'd better not use their witch to cheat again," Sir Ray growled, clutching the armrests of his chair fiercely.
The trumpet sounded for the jousting to begin.
"Well milady," announced Sir Ray as he stood up and made his way towards the stables. "Good day!"
BTW, nameless, have you read any others of Tamora Pierce's books? I've read a few and loved em! But seriously, most of my knight knowledge comes from reading Gerald Morris' books. Very good reading. Sorry about the garden thing, doesn't happen.
