Bits of gold and gems glittered in the light from the sunset that came through the high window. Everyone stood still, listening to the ceremony. Pride was seen on many faces.
Young knights stood in a lines in front of the audience, many with new scars from the Scanran War. Their deeds of chivalry had been announced to the court as they were presented.
“You have all been a blessing to our realm. Your courage and nobility have been well noted as you proved yourselves and your loyalty in these past trying times.” King Jonothan’s voice rang out clearly, echoing off the marble pillars “You are merits to your family names, each of you. I have personally seen to rewards which you will now be presented with.”
Fourth year pages stepped forward, each dressed in their palace uniforms of gold and red as they carried ornately decorated boxes. Each box was destined for one of the knights and had a coat of arms stamped in fine silver across its lid.
A bow with the Mindelan crest over two crossed glaives was presented to Keladry of Mindelan. The young page kept his eyes on the floor as he presented the Lady Knight with the box and pulled the lid back for her to see the contents.
Inside the box was several rows of gold coins, all lined up neatly in the velvet lining of the box. In the center, on its own little pillow was a pendant necklace that ended in a large sapphire. Down the row of royal gifts, all of the other boxes contained simply gold.
Kel’s eyes widened as she looked up and saw a set of eyes staring at her longingly. The eyes matched the sapphires on the necklace and his crown.
