The woman didn't say a word as she asked the guards to show them to the throne room. They passed through several hallways and flight of stairs before reaching the hallway. Meira and Ranathia were both beginning to think that going to the throne room was quite a chore in itself. Why was it so far up? Neither of them could answer that question before the guard said toward the girls, "This way please." He motioned toward them as he opened the large doors that revealed the throne room. The Guardia throne room was littered with all kinds of beauty. From glass painted windows that foretold its legacy all the way to picture frames and arrays of flowers and bouquets that rest on the wall. The three lady entered the room and walked across the blood red carpet that lead itself all the way up a few flight of stairs toward the where the king sat.

Razhard started to speak toward the three as they approached the throne. He was pleased the two fine ladies could find their way easily toward his throne room and was very pleased them to meet them. He started his speech with, "Greetings ladies, I'm pleased that I can be at your acquaintance. I am King Razhard Guardia who rules over the Guardia Kingdom in my father's stead. But I'm sure you didn't come here to listen to me chat so I'll get right down to business. But first, he turned his eyes toward Eurasia who was again dressed inappropriately for the audience, "Not again, Eurasia! We have guests and you wear that distasteful wardrobe?"

Poor Princess Alicia could only grimace at what Alicia was wearing where she frowned and crossed her arms, "I'll wear what I want. I don't ever remember putting you in charge of my closet." She retorted in anger as she stood there seeming to like the outfit she chose. "Besides, the design is royalty." Razhard could only facepalm himself for a second where Alicia told him it was a waste of time to argue with Eurasia.

"Forgive me, I eluded myself from the point." He added as he turned his attention back toward the three ladies in front him.

Before he could continue the woman stepped forward then announced herself toward Razhard. His guards wanted to react to her impudence, but he gestured to them not to interfere. "King Razhard, from this day forward you will appoint me as your new strategist." Those were the first words that escaped the woman's mouth. Razhard couldn't believe what he had just heard and was even more confused as to why she would just want to force him to make her his strategist. He didn't even know who this woman was and the fact she covered her appearance didn't help. He stuttered on his words when he spoke toward her while his two sisters weren't happy that she just rudely interrupted him like that. "I don't.... even... know who you are?" He questioned as he almost choked on his words still shocked that she would suggest such a thing. Princess Alicia stood in front of Razhard and spoke toward the woman in anger, "How dare you just be so forceful with your words? Have you no refinement!" The woman turned her head away barely letting her eyes see her ranting, "What's it to you, little girl?" Alicia was upset about being called a little girl, but she didn't waste her breath on the woman when Razhard told her just not to argue with her. Meira and Ranathia were both shocked by what they had just heard and were at a loss of words as well.

"How do we not know you're an assassin hired by another nation that is trying to get close to the king? Look at the way you're dressed. Certainly someone would have come to that conclusion or the entire guard in this castle is a bunch of morons." A voice said as a man dressed completely in black armor walked right into the room.

"Perhaps these two girls were sent as accomplices?" He added as he approached the king still completely dressed in heavy black armor.
