"So?"

--The Sentencing--
The three boys fell into an uncomfortable silence. Alanna figeted and squirmed. There was nothing to say. That barely ever happened when all your friends were boys...it was just, well, wierd.
Jonathan cleared his throat and everyone turned to look at him expectantly.
"Well, we wanted to find out that it really was afalse rumorbut," Jonathan's face turned grim. "It looks like Alan...na will have no other choice but to go and await punishment by my father and my lord provost."
Both Gary and Raoul's faces turned sad at this.
Alanna cursed. "What's to happen to me?"

KingRoald cesed the buzz of chater with a flick of his hand then signaled for the provost to begin.
The provost showed he understood by inclining his head.
"Alanna ofTrebond,do you know of a punishment to suit this crime?"
Her hands were sweaty as she stood up to adress the court. "Well, I do but ...I really hope it doesn'tcome to," she gulped. "that."she finished awkwardly.
"Unfortunately,I cannot think of another punishment to suit this matter," the provost sighed. "I would sentence her to death. What is your view of things your majesty?"
"I'm deeply sorry to say that there is no other way that I can see fit. Alanna of Trebond, I sentence you to death. You are dismissed."

"-I would sentence her to death. What is your view of things your majesty?"
"I'm deeply sorry to say that there is no other way that I can see fit. Alanna of Trebond, I sentence you to death-"
Prince Jonathan of Conte tried to get up and object but a hand was covering his mouth and two hands where constraining him to his seat.
"Not a sound, Jon," Gary whispered into his right ear.
"There isn't anything we can do..." Raoul said into his left.
"-are dismissed."
'Father sounds so ... cold.' Jon thought to himself sadly.
xxx-Alanna's P.O.V.-xxx
Alanna was sitting on her bed yet again when-
Knock. Knock. Knock. Kno-
"OWWW!"
"...er..."
"WOULD YOU STOP DOING THAT!"

The Prince was the first to break the silence.
"I wish there was another way..."
Alanna looked at him and after a short pause asked him, "When is the excecution?"
'She says it as if it's no big deal!'Jonathan thought to himself amazed.
He cleared his throat. "Noon tomorrow."
(A/N: I was gonna put the soppy goodbyes here but how are you supposed to say goodbye to someone who is gonna die? I sure don't know how!)
--------
There was an unusual crowd at the excecution.
There were friends and family. Then there was the enemis and the conservatives. They were crying, they were weeping. They were jeering, they were laughing.
The king stepped up onto the platfrm and the chatter faded out leaving the hiss of voices.
"Alanna of Trebond," he said in his cool, crisp voice. "Step up onto the platform."
There was a painfully heavy silence as a very slender and pretty, no beautiful ... stunning girl about 5 foot 8 swept up onto the platfrom, her whitedress billowing behind her in the cool breeze.
She looked at Jonathan. Her friend was openly staring.
