CHAPTER THREE
Neal's Plan
After they finished caring for the horses, Raoul had Kel help him with some supply
questions he had. He told her they'd be leaving in two days and dismissed her to pack, and have
the rest of the day off. Kel got up to her room, pushed the door open and dumped her packages
onto her bed. Kel then plopped herself onto the bed and sighed. Lalasa came out from behind the
screen that separated her rooms, from where the loyal maid once slept.
"Kel, are you feeling all right?" Lalasa questioned.
"Mmm..." Kel mumbled. "I'm fine. Why aren't you in the shop?"
"I was worried about you, so I couldn't work."
"So, it's my fault your losing money?" Kel asked concerned.
"No." Lalasa replied. "Business was slow anyway."
"Well," Kel sighed. "I'm fine. As fine as can be expected." Kel sat up and glanced at the
dress her mysterious benefactor had given her. "Lalasa, do you have any idea who requested you
make this?"
Lalasa glanced at the fabric. "Oh, yes. I remember this. This gown too quite a bit of
time. The fabric was very fine and expensive. It was a joy to make."
Kel nodded impatient. "That's nice, but `/who/` had you make it?"
"Umm... it was some baron. Strange accent, handsome, kind. I don't know his name.
I don't believe he gave one." Lalasa looked at Kel. "How did you get this dress?" She asked.
"Do you remember my unexplainable gift throughout the years?" Lalasa nodded. "Well,
it was them. That's why I wanted to know who had you make it."
"I'm sorry. I have no idea." Lalasa admitted.
Kel sighed. "Okay, well, I better get packing and check the supplies. We leave in two
days."
"Okay I'm going back to the shop. Just to check on things. Are you sure you are okay?"
Kel assured her she was, and Lalasa left Kel to her packing.
NEAL'S POV
*Oh Minthros. What have I done? I didn't mean to kiss Kel. I didn't even want to. I know
what I was planning to do, but Kel's like a sister to me.* Neal knew that Cleon wouldn't, couldn't, and
had no intention of marrying Kel if she became pregnant. So the part of him that was brotherly and
Kel's best friend decided to do something about it. He knew Cleon had to marry for the good of
his people, Neal understood that, so he knew it was useless to try to bully Cleon into it. So he
moved to plan 'B'. Neal would marry Kel. It seem easy enough. He love her as a friend, so he
figured it might work. He might learn to love her for real one day. One thing he knew he couldn't
let happen was to sit back and let Kel's honor and dignity, everything she, and all of her friends,
struggled so hard for over the years, to be dragged through the dirt. So the overly caring part
of Neal came up with a plan. He also knew that there was no way that would just `/let/` Neal
marry her to protect her honor. Then she would feel bad for letting him take on `/her/`
responsibility. But on the other hand Neal felt responsible, and her was partly for getting Kel drunk.
So here was Neal's plan. He would get Kel to bed him and then if she became pregnant she wouldn't be
sure whose baby it was; Neal would then convince her it was his, and marry her. But fist her would wait.
Wait and see if Kel became pregnant. Hopefully he would know before her if he kept on top of things and
caught it early since he was learning moor healing methods from the lioness. But it would be hard to catch
considering they both would be traveling with their knight masters. Neal knew what he had to do and his
mind was made up. He sighed. *What I wouldn't do to have a friend like me. I'm giving up an awful lot for
her, but it's worth it. Kel has worked so hard. And so have I.*
