Avary smiled brightly. He had actually gotten it right. He looked over at Levi, and dropped the smile and huddled into himself. He stepped back towards the table and watched for Levi's answer.

@Overlord24

Xavier had made his way behind the princess and princes making sure not to lose them because it was quite hard to run in his heavy looking armor. Wiping the sweat that was forming on his forehead breathing heavily trying to caught his breath as well,"Wait..please.." He said softly following them.

@Eviledd1984
Avary saw Xavier trying to catch up to them. "Hello Xavier. You may want to look after Amalia right now. Levi and my father are here."
Many miles away, a black haired scrawny boy woke up. It was Dante Shadowlord. He rose from bed and went to his wardrobe.

@Overlord24

Xavier nodded his head and was now looking around for Amalia and would be sure to keep a extra eye on her, In the back of his mind he was wondering if he could get something else to eat and would have to see if Amalia would like to go back to the kitchen for a quick snack.

@Eviledd1984@SoulEater
Avary nodded to him then returned to his father's lesson.
Dante pulled on his cloak and traveling attire, then went to the stables for his horse.

After Levi and Avary had walked off, Amalia had headed to the gardens. She wandered the pathways of the garden, holding Harold's hand as she walked throughout the lovely gardens, admiring the beautiful flowers. Amalia stooped down low and picked a beautiful amaryllis from a bush.

Dante rode on his horse and arrived outside of Woodgrove Castle. He pushed open a door and walked in.

Elizabeth was walking the castle grounds and saw Dante, stunned for a moment, standing there, staring for a moment, before going off to find some chore or other to do.

@Nikki Moonlight@SoulEater
Dante smirked seeing the maid, but didn't talk to her and went on his way. But soon enough, he saw another maid. He walked up to this one. "Excuse me. Can you tell me where King Cryus would be?"

@Overlord24

Elizabeth went to scrubbing the floors near the king's room.

@canaryrose

Xavier was running behind Amalia and Harold trying to keep up in his heavy armor,"Please wait...milady" He said softly finally caught up to them trying to caught his breath.

Lucien Josselin Richelieu sniffed the air as he entered the royal garden, as usual he was looking for fresh ingredients to cook with but he also enjoyed walking the grounds to take in inspiration for his food from nature herself. He crouched down besides a young gourd still growing and ran his fingers over it, inspecting its beauty. Lucien admired the Gods handiwork, and reflected that while he might never reach their craftsmanship, it was a noble goal pursuing nonetheless.

After he had finished with the gourd, he looked up to see the young princess Amalia also in the gardens. "Hello your highness" he said bowing.

Catherine Lillasteen, the assassin

@Nikki Moonlight@Overlord24

Catherine was nearing her room, with only four more hallways to go. She turned another corner and found a maid scrubbing the floor, making soap bubbles appear all around her. The girl was no doubt younger then Catherine, but she was beautiful. She had two long braids, and honey milk eyes that could kill a man. The girl was so beautiful that Catherine wanted to serve her head off right then and there.

Catherine sneered and quickly turned to not lash out at the girl, but ended up face to face with a man. The man was wearing a pitch black suit that had many pockets. His hair was ink-black, his eyes had a red tent to them, and paper pale skin. He definitely looked like he could kill someone, but he sure was stupid walking in like that. If anyone was going to kill someone, at least make your self look weak. He then asked where King Cyrus was which almost made her laugh out loud. So he thinks he can kill the king? He would be damned for trying, Catherine thought as she smiled sweety to the stranger. "Oh, I'm sorry sir you will have to wait. King Cyrus is busy right now and is not to be deserved."

@SoulEater
"Oh, I think the king will make time to see me." Dante said with a smirk. "You look, familiar. What's your name maid?"

Lucien gave a nod to acknowledge Xavier, one of the many young knights enlisted to protect to royal family. And while this was no doubt a most honourable ideal it always made Lucien remorseful seeing such bright youth putting their lives on the line just as his son had many years ago. But this was no time to reflect on a time long past, her highness had addressed him and he had to respond. "I am quite well princess, thank you for asking. Ah and yes you're right what a fine morning it is, which is why i've been taking in inspiration for my art" he said as he noted a fine looking bunch of carrots which he would have to examine more closely later before returning his attention in Amalia "But where are my manners? What brings you to the gardens today?"

@canaryrose@Eviledd1984

@canaryrose@SoulEater

Elizabeth got a sense of unease seeing the two people speak. That woman was not too familiar...And she didn't trust her...And the traveler....He gave off something..different. Menacing.

But Elizabeth snappe out of it and she looked up at Anne and she shook her head. "No I'm alright Annie, thank you though." She smiled up at her.

@Vortex@canaryrose

Xaiver frowned at her comment he was not weak in his opinion it was the heavy suit of armor he was wearing, "My apologizes but....i will try my best to...protect you" He said softly patting the shoulder plating of his armor.The dark part of his mind wanted to smack her for that comment but dismissed this and was nodding his head wanting to make the Princess and Prince happy.

@Vortex@Eviledd1984@SoulEater@canaryrose
Whilst Dante was speaking too the maid, he looked out one of the windows into the garden and saw a cook, a knight, and the princess talking with each other. He did not try to hide himself, even though the princess, and maybe the cook might recognize him.

Levi seemed like he was going to answer, his eyes widened, however, and he ran out of the room, and down the hall. He ignored the groups of knights and cooks, and ran back into the forest. It was there where he heard it. A distinct banging of drums. They had come early. It was supposed to be tomorrow. His model had been wrong. Who was upon them? They were an army.
