Chapter 5

Alanna's chambers, early morning

KNOCK, KNOCK! "Who is it now!" Alanna said as she struggled to get out of her bed. "Can't an old lady sleep in for one day" she said trying to keep her well known temper in control. She opened the door. "What" she snapped to a frightful looking page who looked as sleepy as she did. The page handed her the letter and ran out of the hall.

"They are getting faster" she laughed as she watched him run. She looked to her letter as she closed the door. "From Jon...why couldn't he wait until the meetings later?" she asked as she opened it.

It read:You are invited by the Royal Family to a ball tomorrow at 3 bells past noon on the royal yacht. Please dress accordingly

She groaned. "I know what this means" she said as she looked to her wardrobe for a dress. "Why today? I better eat now. " she sighed as she grimaced thinking about her past experiences on boats.

Page Wing, Liam's room

Cedric of Irismere ran into the room shutting the door behind him. "It's done" he said trying to catch his breath. Liam and Alan cracked a smile. "I see you have discovered how nasty my mother can be first thing in the morning" Alan laughed as a pillow was thrown at him.

Cedric shuttered. "I never want to do that again!" he told the best friends. "Phase one is done" Liam said as he looked over his carefully written plot. "I sent the servants to deliver the other messages out."

Alan sighed. "I hope you know what your doing.I don't want to be there when mother discovers she is the only one in a dress" he said fighting to keep a straight face. He failed and soon the two were laughing incontrollable.
