Kate let Trillen sleep as she settled into her room at the king's palace. Her father was extending his stay to advise the king and connamd the royal guards. Kate did not mind living in Seville; she would attend the mage guild college just outside the city. The dinner banqurt was hours away. She knew the nobles were expected to be up late revling. So the mage took a nap.<br/><br/>Two hours before the banquet, Kate was awoken to a knock on her door. "I have come to help you get read dear."<br/><br/>Lady Katherine stretched and rolled out of bed. The journey left her more tired than she thought. "Ann would you bring me a snack to tide  me over. I would be a sight eating like a pig at supper. I could eat a stag all by myself."<br/><br/>"Yes. Dear."<br/><br/>Kate had purchased a new dress just before she and her family arrived by ship from Wildwood. The green tafita dressed cling to her body showing off her petite figure. The mage looked in the full length mirror and saw she had grown to look like her mother Catelynn Lyons. Her mother's portrate hung in the living area just outside the hall from her room. Catelynn was young, a beauty with red hair and amber eyes. Katherine looked in the mirror adjusting her long wait long reddish-brown hair. Ann always new the latest styles in cloths and hair do's.<br/><br/>Wen Ann arrive with a tray of cheese and cut fruit Kate ate greedily. "Sorry, Ann I will have the best of manners tonight. I am thinking to have my hair braided on top and over my shoulder loose curls."<br/><br/>"In that dress you will have me fawning at your feet. The color of that dress bring out your eyes. I suggest you wear your mother tiara tonight. You should wear the emerald and diamond necklace your father gave you on Frost Day this Winterfest. You nearly 18 and soon you wll be expected tothe fmarry."<br/><br/>Kate took the tray and wolfed down the fruit Ann cut onto a bowl.<br/><br/>"Ann I will be most selective in who I marry. He needs to share my love of healing at not want Papas land and title. That is for Johh, he is the eldest. I love home and there is no other place better. I am thinking of buying my own house here. I hate being at court and my own place will be quiet."<br/><br/>Ann poured her tea and Kate sipped it. "Trillan, I forgot about him. I will be right back."<br/>Katherine scurried out her room to Trillen's room. "Are you awake Trillen?"
