Hey guys...sorry I've been side tracked with my other stories and I had to sort out all the details of where this fic is going. Just a couple notes. Anything you recognize belongs to Miss. Pierce. My amo= my friend in the story. Some of you asked questions about the fic in the reviews and I'm really tired right now so I'll answer them when I post my next chapter. Please Please review so I know if the story is worthwhile to continue. Enjoy!!!
Showing Princess Kamara around actually lifted Kel's spirits. The fun loving girl she met as a child was still there. Dressed in a russet brown kimono, Keladry led Kamara around, and despite her Yamani upbringing the princess was very talkative and outgoing, even if it was when she was only around Kel. Kel answered all her questions about the Royal family and what Prince Roald was like. Kamara in return told Kel all about the friends she had left back in Yamani Islands. When they turned a corner they almost ran head on into Akial. Kel smiled a genuine smile and said cheerfully, "Well hello again, Akial." Akial bowed properly to Princess Kamara whom had her fan out to cover her face, then he kissed Kel on both cheeks and went on his way. Kel was surprised when her friend let out a hiss of distaste, "You shouldn't let that snake touch you, my amo." Kel looked at her friend in shock, "Kamara! Whatever do you mean?" The other girl calmly snapped her fan closed and kept her face blank. "As you probably know, my amo, Akial is my father's adviser. I'm sure he also told you that his father was poisoned," Kamara said evenly as she glanced sideways at Kel. "Yes I know that. Akial told me what happened," Kel replied, still confused as to where this conversation was leading. "What you don't know is that the events leading up to the murder do not sort out. You have also not seen how Akial has changed. He is very different from when we were young, Kel," Kamara said. As they reached Kamara's rooms, Kel stopped abruptly and turned to face her friend, "What are you implying Kamara?" The princess merely lifted a brow and opened her door, "Nothing, my amo. I was merely commenting on a mutual acquaintance we both have. Good day my amo. Don't be late to your next class." And as quickly as the wind Kamara had slipped through her door and closed it softly behind her.
Kel walked to her class trying to sort out what Kamara had told her. 'She couldn't have been implying that Akial murdered his own father!' Kel thought, but oddly enough she knew Kamara never lied or mentioned things with out triple thinking them. She shook her head and decided to ponder it later as she stepped into her strategy and logistics class. Only then did she realize she hadn't put on her squire uniform and still wore her kimono. A couple of the squires chuckled and whispered comments when they saw her, and the knight teaching them that day raised a brow but thankfully didn't comment on it. "Keladry please join Quinden's group in the corner. You are planning mock attacks," was all he had to say. Her cheery mood that she'd had when she was with Kamara vanished when she saw whom else was in the group. Vinson sneered at her, Quinden glared at her and Garvey made a rude gesture at her. Only Owen welcomed her, "Mithros Kel you look jolly good. Don't let these idiots bother you," he told her making a dirty face at the others. Only then did she notice Joren in the shadows as he stepped forward, "Come on you fool heads, lets hurry up and get this done," he said discouraging anymore arguments.
Ten minutes later Kel was exasperated. Garvey, Vinson, and Quinden wouldn't accept her suggestions andOwen was yaking her ear off. "Jesslaw, perhaps you should let Kel get a word in edgewise," a cool voice advised Owen. Kel couldn't help it. She scowled at Joren, "Don't tell him what to do. If he wants to bend my ear he can," she told him. "Kel, am I really annoying you?" Owen asked with a furrowed brow. Kel sighed inwardly, trying to think up a kind response to give him with out hurting his feelings. Luckily she was saved when Raoul came up behind her and asked, "Kel. I need to speak with you. It's about Mindelan." Kel nodded and excused herself from the group as she gratefully followed him out the door and into his rooms, sitting in the chair he offered. "Kel," Raoul said softly as he studied her, "How are you doing? I've been concerned about you. Are you sure you want to go through with this Yamani ritual?" Kel was tired of people asking her that but she kept her face smooth, reminding herself that she was stone trying to let all her problems roll off like water. "Yes, I'm going to go through with it. Now m'lord what is wrong with Mindelan.?" She asked. Raoul sighed, "I want you to know I'll assist in whatever way possible." Drawing in a deep breath he said, "I hate to tell you this Kel, but Mindelan's recent flooding has ruined the crops. There's no food and the people there are speaking of rebellion since their fate is so uncertain with your...the family gone. Naturally the barony goes to you since the will states the next of kin shall inherit..." Kel interrupted, "What can we do to get food to them? Is it possible to find out how much money is left? My first priority is to the people of Mindelan. If they want to rebel, I shall worry about that later, but I want no child to go hungry or have a family member die." "But Kel," Raoul protested, "If there is a rebellion there could be nothing left of Mindelan." Kel shook her head, "Raoul," she said quietly, "as far as I'm concerned I don't feel there is much of Mindelan left with out my family there. Could you please find the answers to my questions?" Raoul nodded and she quietly excused herself and returned to her classes.
So what did you guys think? Any suggestions? And if anyone knows how to get ittalics and bold print please tell me. Have a wonderful week and talk to the box below!
