Title: 9. Proof Rating: PG Length: 150 words Competitor: Sabine Round/Fight: 2/C Summary: Kel finds proof .
The hall contained portraits of every king and queen Tortall had ever had. King Roger's portrait was located halfway down, on the left side. Kel approached with butterflies in her stomach. The king looked out at her, with black hair, mustache, and the unmistakable Conte nose. To his right were two other portraits, for he had married twice. It was the second one that drew Kel's eye: the young woman was beautiful.
More than that, there was something intriguingly mischievous in her bright blue eyes. There was something about the wave of her red-blond hair that caused Kel to picture it falling across her face, as a sturdy, brown haired lady knight nuzzled her neck.
But perhaps Kel was mistaken. Perhaps Sabine's letter had meant something else.
She stepped closer, until she could read the name plate affixed below the portrait itself. It read, “Queen Melinda Ashlin of Conte.”

I was not expecting that (I was thinking a princess?) but I love that it's the queen. It makes her suggestions about the king more poignant. I love how Kel pictures Sabine with Ashlin This is amazing!
