Chapter 5
Two days later Lord Raoul of Goldenlake and Malorie's Peak arriver with another squad of the Own as an escort. Sir Alanna of Pirate's Swoop and Olau, and Raoul's wife Buri also came because they wanted to see Kel.
"Lord Raoul, good to see you sir," Dom tells him as he walks up to his commander.
"Dom, how are you doing? Is your squad behaving itself?" asked the huge jolly I stole Owen's word here man.
"When do they ever behave themselves sir?" Dom answered, laughing.
"Raoul, you're here," Kel said to her former knight master.
"Of course I'm here. How are things here at New Hope?" he questions.
"Things are going well sir. I haven't had to put anyone in the stocks for almost three days!" she replied gleefully.
The two of them walked towards the rooms that Raoul would occupy while he was there. When they entered they sat down to talk.
Raoul watched as Kel wrung her hands. "Kel is there something wrong?" he asked.
"I'll only tell you if you promise not to kill anyone," she replies.
"Is there a reason for me to want to kill someone?" his voice rumbled dangerously.
"Promise," was all Kel would say.
"I promise that I won't kill someone because of what you're about to tell me."
"I'm pregnant," she quickly says.
He calmly asked "who's the father?"
"Dom. We've been engaged for 5 months." was her equally calm reply.
"WHAT!" he roared. The room shook.
Dom who was waiting down the hall in Kel's room felt the floor shake and heard Raoul roar. It didn't sound like it was going well.
"Where is he?" questioned Raoul.
"In my rooms," replied a very scared Kel.
"Dom was pacing when suddenly the door was ripped open and Lord Raoul started choking him.
"Stop it! Raoul stop it!" Kel screamed.
When they heard Lord Raoul and then Kel scream Neal, Merric, Wolset, Alanna, and Buri rushed up the stairs. They entered Kel's rooms to a weird scene. Lord Raoul was trying to choke his sergeant to death while Kel held her glaive pressed against Raoul's throat. He slowly backed away while Dom collapsed on the ground, gasping for air. Kel dropped her glaive, and, to everyone's surprises, wrapped her arms around Dom and asked if he was okay.
Finally seeing Alanna, Kel asked her to make sure Dom was okay. Kel picked up her glaive and slowly advanced towards Raoul. She was absolutely furious. "You said you wouldn't kill him if I told you," she spat/
"But he's still alive," Raoul protested.
"You almost killed him you fool!" Alanna tells them.
"Will someone please tell me why Raoul was trying to strangle my cousin?" Neal asked.
"Dom and I are engaged, we have been for 5 months, and also I'm pregnant," Kel told the astounded crowd in her room.
Alanna quickly used her magic to be sure that she really was. "You're not just pregnant, you're having twins!"
At that Kel fainted, but Raoul caught her before she fell.
"If you ever hurt her I will kill you," Raoul told Dom. He gently placed Kel in her bed, and everyone but Dom left.
