Princess Keala
Chapter 4

Well, they talked some more. Then they left for the horses hand in hand. They took off so fast that a tree was almost uprooted. Kalen followed Keala at her side hand in hand. When they arrived at the tall castle gates, the guards with swords at there sides checked Kalen and Beauty's bag. They found nothing threatening, so they let Kalen pass through the large doors that lead to the castle's front yard, they slowed the horses to a galloping pace when the stable came in sight. Kalen put his hand on Keala's waist and helped her off her horse.
As he did, Keala whispered gently in his ear, "At the castle we shouldn't hold hands. I'm not being rude; it's that for some crazy reason a king's daughter isn't allowed to like any boy while the king is gone."
Kalen nodded silently, understanding that royalty always came with strict rules. Keala told Kalen to follow her after they had walked the horses to there stall. They entered the long, beautiful hall. The hall was draped with tapestries and stain glass windows. Some of the tapestries were so old that you couldn't tell what was on them. Some had heroic scenes, others of breathtaking landscapes. Keala jumped a little as she heard Kalen gasp with surprise at the beauty of the castles long hall. Keala quickly turned around and put her finger to her mouth to indicate that Kalen needed to be quiet.
Keala led him to the third floor where the dinning room was. Dinner was about to be served when they came in. Keala heard her mother, Queen Frasaya gasp when she saw Kalen, and she knew why. The queen just sat there politely so as not to be rude for they had a new guest as she thought 'what in bloody hell is that boy doing her? I will talk to Keala tomorrow some time.
Some of the maids in there helped Keala and Kalen to their seats. They were seated across from one another as they prepared to eat. The maids lifted the lids off the food and everyone in there, which was about 20 people, began to eat. There was cooked rabbit, pie, salad, and fruit.
When dinner was over, Keala took Kalen to go look for Kristine. She found her maid in her room straightening things up. At the moment Kristine was making Keala's bed when Keala cleared her throat. Kristine almost jumped with fright when she heard the noise.
Then she turned and saw Keala and said apologetically, "Princess Keala, I was just ..."
Kristine stopped when she saw Kalen behind Keala and let out a loud scream as she ran her back into the wall. ~~~
