Chapter Eighteen: A promise of a King.
Alanna peered over the edge of the balcony as she heard King Roland decree that Girls were aloud to get their shields and would be chosen by a Oracle of Hope. Which a magical gift form the great mother and given to Tortall by the Bystine Empire. In which a Noble girl was chosen they would take it as a honor and accept. Girls on not Noble birth could now also join the own or the riders of Trebond. Alanna's thoughts began to waver and she for got how long she had bin outside all alone, that was until a voice broke her thoughts.
"Princess it is a nice night is it not." He king spoke. His once black hair was known beginning to show signs of gray. His once pricing blue eyes worn and full of life. His face began to wrinkle. Over all he looked like he should be someone's Grandfather not a ruler.
"Yes it is" answer in a low curtsy
" Alanna, dear girl. I think I'm getting very old and tired. I think it's time for my rein to come to a end and Jonathan to succeed me."
"But majesty, I wish not to be queen yet. You also have many years before you."
"Your very sweet. But I think I 'm ready to see the sun set by the sea?"
"Yes I think that would be nice. Plus too hear the waves and feel the breeze."
" I can see it now. My dear I think we should talk about the years to come. I was told that you wanted to become a Knight?"
"Yes sir, I still do."
"Good, for I wish to knight you myself when you return for your trip. I would also like for one day to stand and talk with you by the sea one day too."
"Thank you sir. I would be honored."
As the King began down the solid stone stairs, as she watched him go. His figure was light up by the moon. His gold thread on this Tunic and breeches glowed. His crown shown, showing amount of his statues, "Oh Alanna dear. You will you hold me to my promise now will you?" the King called from the bottom of the stairs.
"Oh yes, Sir"
"Alanna?"
"Yes?"
"Call my father. I would be greatly honored to have my soon to be daughter-in-law think of me as her second Dad."
"She wishes you think of her as your daughter too. Father."
"Thank you, Lioness."
"Thank you, Father." As the king walked away Alanna thought to her-self. "I will hold you to that promise.
GOOD? BAD? UGLY?
