"So,", King Owin started "did you find a sword,". I looked up from my soup, "yes your highness, I did," I replied. "Are we allowed to see it," asked king Lewis, "of course your highnesses," I replied. I stood up and pulled my new sword out of it's sheaf to show them the blade, it shone in the candle light. The two kings stared in awe, the dragon on the blade glinted back at us with a menacing sort of look that almost seemed to say I'm dangerous, don't mess with me. I tucked it back into it's sheaf and sat back down.

"Now then," King Lewis said in a tone that suggested that he had something important to say, "Ava, as you know, our main reason for coming to the Kingdom of Roch is because when you were born, Owin and I decided that you would eventually get married to his child, who would be born later on in the week,". I just sat there and listened, Ava suddenly said "I know dad, but, what if we don't like each other," Ava sounded worried and nervous.

"oh trust me, you will," said King owin in a very tired voice, "my child been over reacting about everything and asking the same questions that you've been,". Now THAT, was hilarious to me, it was so hard not to laugh. I ended up doing a very quiet giggle at the thought of Ava and whoever the heir of Roch was, overreacting about things, for example, overreacting about the thought of not having enough food for the winter, or being followed by an "assassin".

 "There has actually been a sort of-um-how do I say this, COMPLICATION, heh-heh" said King Owin. "what sort of COMPLICATION," asked King Lewis. "Well" King Owin said in a voice that meant that something had happened or gone wrong, "we WERE expecting a son," he finished with an awkward look. "What do you mean WERE," King Lewis asked. 

James, Ava and I looked at eachother, we knew what it meant. It meant that the heir to the Kingdom Roch was a girl.
