Chapter 2
"Your highness," Serena said softly as she curtsied to the prince.
"Please, call me Roald, and don't bow I hate it," said Roald with a smile.
"Of course," said Serena with a smile.
"Well come on we have to get to dinner. So tell me what is it that made you want to be a knight, anyways?" asked Roald with a curious smile.
"Honestly, it was my sister's idea more than mine, but I've always been different I suppose and pretty good hand with a sword, too," said Serena smiling up at Roald.
"Really, I never would have guessed that, no offense but you to look a little delicate," said Roald staring at Serena carefully.
Serena wasn't at all surprised at all that Roald would think that, people had always thought of her and her sister as dainty and delicate. The girls had golden hazel eyes that stood out from their dark brown skin boldly, they were thin and fairly tall with strong, delicate features, and long, silky black hair pulled into a ponytail.
"People are always telling me that," said Serena, "but why is it that you think that, hmm?"
"Well it's just that you're so small and delicate looking," said Roald thoughtfully. "Is that bad?"
"No, not at all, but as my grandfather always said, the prettiest flower is often the most deadly," she said coyly.
"That's true I suppose," said Roald.
They walked on in silence Roald led the way to the mess hall, staring at Serena strangely.
Saline stared at Nealan, she noticed that he seemed old to be a page he had questioning green eyes, and dark brown hair.
"Well, I suppose we should get to supper now," said Nealan quickly.
"Yea, sure. So what made you choose me?" asked Saline quickly.
"I don't know you seemed like you would be quite an interesting person to sponsor, and I've think that you and your sister deserve to be here as much as any of us," he said thoughtfully.
"Thank you, but don't worry. We don't give up easily," said Saline with a coy smile.
"Yea, well I hope so because their try their best to get rid of you two," said Nealan, with a sweeping glance.
"Pardon me, Nealan, but you seem a bit old to be a page," queried Saline thoughtfully.
"Call me Neal, and I quit the university to come hear and become a page," said Neal tauntly.
"O.k, Neal, but why would you leave to become a page?" asked Saline.
"Why, did you come here to be a page?" Neal asked questioningly.
"I don't know, it just seemed like the right thing to do," said Saline after thinking about it for a moment.
"Exactly," said Neal, "that's how I felt,"
Saline walked quickly along side Neal matching his quick pace carefully.
"Come, let's catch up with your sister and Roald," said Neal quicken his pace even more to catch up with the prince.
"So, Roald, I have a feeling that we in for more than we thought with these two," said Neal to Roald with a grin.
"I must agree, but a knight is supposed to be able to deal with anything, right?" he responded with a smile.
"You know I just want you guys to know that we can hear you, so you might not want to talk about us," said Saline slyly as her sister smiled at her sister tactlessness.
"I'm so sorry, my lady," said Neal bowing grandly to the twins.
"Ha, ha very funny, can we just hurry this up please?" said Serena tapping her foot on the floor impatiently.
"Indeed, my fair lady," said Roald picking up on Neal's joke.
They walked on to supper silently, when they arrived at supper the room went completely silent, as the boys all stared at the two girls.
"Tough crowd," said Saline quietly, her sister nodded gravely.
"Come on," said Roald quickly, "we better sit before Wyldon arrives."
They sat down quickly and the boys near them, all scooted further down to stop from having to sit near the girls or their sponsors. Just then the king walked into the room as the boys and two girls all hopped hurriedly to their feet.
"Please, please, eat and then I tell you what I came to say," said the King with a smile, his white teeth flashing against his dark beard. The King was an extremely good-looking man and his sapphire blue eyes stood out boldly from his fair skin.
Lord Wyldon gave a quick blessing and the pages and squires began to eat quietly. Serena noticed that the King, though he was talking to Wyldon, was staring at the pages looking them all over. His gaze fell on the twins and he smiled, his eyes congratulating them.
At the end of the supper the King stood, "I just want to wish you all good luck in your studies this year, as well as to tell you to do your best, I'm going to need each and everyone of you," he said his eyes lingering on his son and the twins. With that he swepped from the room before anyone could even stand.
"I want you all to enjoy your rest, because after tomorrow you'll get no more," said Lord Wyldon and with that he dismissed them.
The girls rose slowly and were walked back to their rooms by Roald, and Neal.
"Wouldn't want any of our fellows getting any ideas, to try to get rid of you two early," said Roald with a smile as he left them outside their doors.
"Indeed, this year would be quite boring without you two," said Neal as he and Roald walked away.
The girls went to their collective rooms and laid down, they had made it through their first day, with so many more to go.
