Chapter Three
"Hello sir" Kel exclaimed as she rode up next to Wyldon.
"Hello, remember to aim a little to the left of the center, Sir Keladry, it will improve your chances of winning" Wyldon recommended as he watched the Lady Knight dismount.
"Thank you sir. My condolences for your loss." Kel replied, as she remembered that his wife had died and he was now an eligible match.
Wyldon nodded his acceptance and looked out over the field. " It is time to move on, she would not of have wanted me to remain alone" he said with resignation.
"You must do what you believe is right" Kel answered with some trepidation, all she wanted was to be away from the man who could one day be her husband. She still had not chosen her preferences among the candidates and seeing one of them was unnerving.
All I need to do is look over the list and start to cross out those that will not be good matches, Kel thought. First I should eliminate all those I know will not allow me to continue fighting, I'll start by crossing out all of the conservatives and see which candidates are left. The only conservative I won't eliminate is Lord Wyldon, since I know he would let me keep fighting.
Kel looked at the remaining names.

Now I only need to put them in order of which I would prefer and return the list to my Father, Kel instructed herself. First Quinden, since I know him and he is the closest to my age, Kel decided. Followed by Wyldon, then Imrah, and finally Erick, since I now Lord Wyldon and the other two I will decide the order according to age. Kel sighed as she wrote the new list down and prepared to give it to her Father.
