Chapter 9
Raoul screamed loudly and ran quickly away from the psychotic, sword-wielding king, throwing his hands in the air.
"You're courting a DUCK!" Jon screamed at the terrified knight.
"She's nice! And pretty too!" Raoul called back. Jon growled and whacked Raoul's rear end. Hard. Raoul yelped, jumped in the air and ran off again. A series of screams followed and Alanna winced, and then laughed loudly. It must have hurt a lot, but it was certainly livening up the dull afternoon. Suddenly, another duck appeared behind Duckie. She looked exactly like Lady Duckella. Her name was Lady Duckina of Galla, Duckella's cousin. Duckie blinked at her in amazement, before fainting. Lord Ducklass of the Yamani Islands suddenly waddled up behind her, the picture of perfect authority. A monocle covered one eye, magnifying it. He was dressed impeccably without any creases in his clothes. He quacked at his daughter Duckalina. Duckella quacked at Lord Ducklass, distressed. Jon finally put down the sword, and growled one last time at Raoul. He walked, or at least tried to walk poshly, and ended up looking like he had sat on a pitchfork and it had got lodged there. Lady Duckella waddled quickly over to Raoul, who was now lying on the ground, crying loudly and screaming for his mother.
"Lord Ducklass!" Jon said loudly, making the ducks jump, and walked awkwardly back to the palace.

It was later that evening that Raoul announced his betrothal to Lady Duckella, whilst Duckie announced, or more quacked his own to Lady Duckina. They were to have a double wedding in one month. Jon scowled and shook his head, drawing his finger across his throat, glaring at Raoul. Raoul gulped and sat back down.

Right, more later maybe? Maybe not for a while, I don't know. See, I'm at school, so… Anyway, review!
