To their credit, if ether Hadrian or Olifina were surprised that the queen took a quick moment for tea and cakes, nether showed it. As for the business of the letter, that was another matter all together, with Hadrians eyes narrowing slightly and Olifina's widening. Immediately the gears in Hadrian's head started churning for a reason as to why King Regnier would have such a meeting. It was perfectly normal for heads of state to meet together, that was no issue, it was the inclusion King Fairchild that had put the knight on edge. Still he remained quiet as the queen spoke her peace, his thoughts remaining in his head, in an ever churning state as new scenarios came and went. The news that they were allowed to bring guards did little to assuage his suspicions, but still he kept his mouth shut as the king began to address the assembled servants.
He brought up a few good points, such as the fact that it made little economic sense for Regnier to become embroiled in a conflict between Michael and Gabriel. It would cause undue stress and harm to his people, as well as send shockwaves throughout the whole of his kingdom's infrastructure. the knight also had to admit that the king had a point when it came to his recommendations, though for probably different reasons. Hadrian's being more inclined to not wanting to leave any member of the royal family alone, he trusted the guards for sure, but with Olifina here he could rest a bit easier.
Looking over at Rancor Hadrian sized him up. He had heard tell of the man's knife fighting skills, and it would be useful to have someone along that could treat a wound better than most. Also he would enjoy a freedom of movement that others would lack at the meeting, his station allowing him to flit between places. A solid choice as a companion.
"I.." Hadrian spoke as he was about to voice his agreement. But Olifina beat him to the punch, her face breaking into a wide grin as a very slight glow emanated from her, probably unintentional.
"Oh no need for recommendations, my lords. I volunteer to look after Serenity." her eyes danced from person to person, before resting on Rancor "Im only afraid my cooking wont be as up to snuff, but im sure ill find a work around."
