Alanna looked in the mirror, the woman staring back at her looked gorgeous. Her flaming red locks curled and pulled back. She had eye makeup on her eyes and lip makeup on her lips. She was wearing a beautiful white gown with little diamonds around the v-neck. She wore white slippers with small diamonds around the top that accented the dress perfectly. Alanna smiled at her reflection this would have to do.
Just then there was a knock on her room door. "Yes come in it is open." Alanna said to the person outside.
The door opened to revile Thom, Alanna's twin brother. "Darling sister you look wonderful." Thom smiled. He wore a black tunic with matching britches and dark brown leather boots.
"Thank you Thom," Alanna blushed. There was another knock on the door. "Come in,"
Thom opened the door. There stood Raoul, Gary, Douglass, Geoffrey, Sacherell, and Myles. "Alanna you look…" Gary started to say.
"Please don't I know thanks for the complements," Alanna said. "What's going on? Is something wrong?" Alanna looked at her old comrades seeing smiling and cheerful faces.
"Nothing is wrong Alanna dear, we just came to see you," Myles answered calmingly.
"What is all this commotion?" Eleni Cooper asked coming back into the room. "Out all of you the wedding is about to start and you all have to leave." She pushed the men out of the room. "There, Alanna dear are you ready?" Alanna nodded. Mistress Cooper was about to open the door when someone knocked on it. "Not more people, we don't..." she stopped as she opened the door to show George standing on the threshold.
"Hello mother may I have a word with Alanna please?" George asked calmly. His mother left the room. "Alanna you look more lovely than I could ever imagine my Lioness looking."
"Thank you George." Alanna smiled. George had left the Bloody Hawk tribe the day after Alanna and Jon had announce their engagement, so they hadn't the time to talk. "George I am sorry…"
George silenced her with a wave of his hand. "My sweet Lioness there is nothing to be sorry for. You choose Jon and that is all it is. I am just glad it wasn't some stuck up noble who would take you away to live in his fief and never let me see you again." George smiled. "And had you done that Missy Alanna then I would have to come save you from that stuck up noble and I don't like getting my hands that dirty," he joked. "Let me let you on a little secret Alanna," he whispered. "I love you and will always love you until this roughish heart of mine stops beating, I will love you," George kissed her lightly on her temple and then said. "I have to go I have a wedding to attended and I'm one of the very important people so I must go," he laughed and headed out the door.
"Are you ready Alanna?" Myles walked in the open doorway. He was smiling brightly.
"That I am Myles. That I am." Alanna took Myles's outstretched arm as they headed for the palace chapel.
When the doors to the chapel opened and the minstrels started to play Alanna and Myles walked down the isle between the two rows of seats. Alanna could see al of the Bloody Hawk tribe including Kara and Kourrem, she could see Gary the younger and Gareth the older, Raoul, Alex, Thom, the King and Queen, many other people that she knew and some she didn't, and then she saw George standing next to Jonathan.
The Prince looked so handsome, his jet-black hair jelled back, his sapphire eyes pinned on her, and there was a large smile painted across his face reviling his perfectly white teeth. He wore a royal blue tunic with jet-black pants that matched his hair. Alanna smiled.
Jon came up to meet her and Myles before they were all the way to the alter where the Mithran Priest was waiting. Jon tool Alanna's hand from Myles who retreated to sit by Eleni Cooper.
The ceremony had started but Alanna wasn't paying much attention to it she just looked into Jon's sapphire eyes and said, "I do" when it was her turn.
She did however remember putting the golden band on Jon's large ring finger and remembered him puting a golden ring with a diamond in the center on hers. What she remembered the most was when the priest said, "You may kiss the bride." Jon leaned down and kissed her so passionately that she swore even her enemies could feel the love.
When they broke apart the chapel erupted in applause. Alanna smiled at her lover and new husband the Prince and would be King one day of her land. Jon took Alanna in his arms and marched down the isle, and out to the hall. Alanna laughed this was really happening. Jon carried her all the way to the ballroom, where the reception was taking place.
Everyone was there when the newly weds arrived for Jon had taken the long way around. The ballroom thundered with applause as Jon walked in carrying Alanna. The minstrels were playing and everyone was having a great time.
Alanna danced with Jon for almost an hour before the King called for the feast to begin. Alanna sat at the high table with the King, Queen, and Jon. They all ate then the music started again. Gary the younger came up to Alanna first asking her to dance with him. Alanna looked over at Jon who nodded and Gary swept Alanna off to the dance floor.
Jon watched smiling. He had never seen Alanna having so much fun at a social event. "I think that you choose well my son," the king broke Jon out of his thoughts.
"Thank you father," Jon smiled. "Mother you look like you are waiting for father to ask you to dance. I really don't think that is going to happen but would you like to dance with me?" he smiled at his father who smiled and laughed back.
Queen Liane smiled at her son, "No thank you Jonathan, I am enjoying watching everyone else dance maybe later though."
"Yes mum," Jon smiled and went back to watching his bride dance with all of their friends.
Alanna was now dancing with Raoul. She looked up at him for a brief second smiling. Jon smiled back. Douglass had now come and interrupted their dance. Raoul bowed out and walked away.
Before long Alanna had also danced with Geoffrey, Sacherell, Myles and a few other men while Jon had sat in his chair watching. The dance had just finished. Gary had come back to Alanna asking for another dance Alanna looked up to Jon with pleading eyes. Jon laughed. "Father, Mother would you please excuse me I must save my bride from dancing to much." Both the king and queen laughed and nodded and Jon left to see Alanna.
When he came by her side Gary and Douglass were arguing about who would get the next dance. "When is it my turn?" the Prince asked.
Gary turned and was about to say something one usely would say to a Prince when he noticed it was Jonathan. "Oh Jon I didn't see you there, you can have the next dance cousin," Gary said bowing.
Jon laughed and took Alanna by the hand and headed to the middle of the dance floor, "Thank you so much Jon," Alanna sighed with relief.
Jon looked at her in a foe puzzled like way, "For what?" he asked. "I just wanted to dance with my princess. Is that a problem?"
Alanna smiled. "You can ask me to dance anytime and I will always say yes. You know they had already figured out who I was going to dance with for the rest of the night."
Jon laughed. "Well I'm glad to be of service. And besides if you hadn't said yes I might have to throw you out of the palace Sir Alanna of Conte, Trendbond, and Oleu the Lioness from the Bazhir tribe of Bloody Hawk." Jon smiled. The song ended and Alanna pulled Jon out of the crowd to go sit at the high table when George walked in front of her.
"Prince Jonathan and our new Princess Alanna I am glad I ran into you, congratulations." George grinned.
"Thank you George," Jon said pushing past him.
"Oh Alanna can I have this next dance? If you wouldn't mind Jonathan?" George asked.
Alanna looked at Jon, who nodded, and walked back to the high table alone. "Let us dance," Alanna said.
George had cleverly asked Alanna to dance as the minstrels started to play the longest slow song that they knew. This would give George more time to be with Alanna. "You know George I can still come and see you down in the city," Alanna said after a few moments of silence.
"I would love if you would do that." George said. "You will always be under the protection of the rouge when ever you venture out into the city." George smiled as the song ended. "Good bye Alanna," he bowed to her and disappeared in the mix of the crowd.
Alanna walked back top the high table alone to sit down by Jon. "Are you all right my sweet?" Jon asked as Alanna sat down heavily.
"Oh yes I am fine just a little tired that is all. You know from all that dancing," said Alanna.
"Would you like to go to bed? I will come with you if you'd like," Jon asked.
"I think that is a wonderful idea." Alanna said.
"Mother, Father, would you please excuse Alanna and me for the night we have had a long day and would like to get some rest." Jon looked over at his parents.
"Yes. Good night my son and daughter-in-law," the king replied to them.
"Sleep tight," the queen added.
Jon and Alanna smiled and left the ballroom. Jon picked Alanna up as soon as they were outside in the hallway and headed to his rooms. Alanna protested, "Jonathan of Conte I am fully able to walk on my own." Jon just smiled and kept on walking.
When they came to the Prince's rooms Jon put Alanna down and opened the door. Alanna began to walk in but Jon stopped and picked her back up. "I have to carry you over the threshold, it is tradition." Alanna stopped protesting.
Jon walked into his bedroom from his outer rooms. He placed Alanna lightly on the bed. Alanna smiled at her princely husband. "Now you still wear that pregnancy charm, the one Mistress Cooper gave you yes?" Alanna nodded. "Well as apart of our agreement I think you should take it off." He grinned down at her.
"Oh really Jon is that what you think?" Alanna laughed at her husband. "I guess you want to see how much better this works without it on." Alanna smiled and walked out of the room to the bathroom. She came back in a few minutes later wearing a violet sleeping gown, "I am ready but you are not you are still in your wedding clothes." she said dropping the golden charm on the ground.
Jon walked into the bathroom and came back a minute later wearing a bathrobe. He picked Alanna up and lightly put her into his bed and then climbed in after her.
