The exalt sighed at strange people her new Captain had brought into her court. "Shepherds you may stay, the rest of you leave us." Once the room was clear the Exalt actually hugged Jacob. "You sacred me Jacob, you mother would have my head if you  had been hurt. I know I'm your god mother but still I do worry about you like your my own." She sighed patting him on the had. "Speaking of my children, my daughter is coming with you to Ferox and Pleagia."

With that from the back of the room entered a elegantly dressed young women, her sharp blue hair and the brand on her cheek gave away her identity as Princess Caroline, the next in line as Exalt. She stepped forward quickly before slamming her boot into his knee, Jacob crumpled  cradling his knee as the woman began to yell. "I can't believe this! First you run off without me then you go and become some great Champion and now your leading the Shepherds!" She fumed for a moment then leaned down and hugged him. "I'm just glad your safe... Oh and if run off again I'll stick my staff so far up your ars-"

The Exalt cut off her daughter before she could finish that rude sentence. "Caroline! We have guests and that is not becoming of a lady. Now encase any of you are wondering Jacobs parents were close friends of mine however they died when he was young and we enrolled him at the academy he grew up here at the castle. I suppose he's my son by adoption but it makes little difference. He's not a prince, just a clever boy whom I find cute enough to keep around."

Jacob blushed getting up slightly flustered. "Aunt Robin stop that! I'm a Captain now, can't you show me a little respect?"

The Exalt ignored him. "Well I hope your ready Shepherds, you've got quite the task before you."

Grand Master Andres stepped forward. "Fear not Robin, I'll be traveling with them, I wish to see if my pupil has learned from my teaching in the class." He looked at the women of the group before turning back to Jacob. "And outside of it."

Jacob groaned and buried his face in his hands. "Seriously just execute me now." With that the Shepherd would soon be making history.
