The guards take Hod and show him some of the palace's guest rooms. They are ornate with gold, silk sheets, and beautiful oil paintings of Katelyn's gods. All of his men get separate rooms due to all the room in the massive palace. All of the rooms were filled with decorations resembling Mandisan deities. The people were obviously very religious.
"Please, if there is anything you and your men may need, do not hesitate to ask. Mandisa is glad to serve those who are guests in our land." The head of the Royal Guard then exits, leaving him to settle in. "You always know where to find The Butterfly when she is free." He motions towards the throne room, walking down the hall.

Katelyn soon finishes her classes and heads back to the throne room where she is required to stay when she is needed. She still didn't understand what her advisors meant when the said she was [i]required[/i] to take a vacation up North. She didn't like the cold, living in the desert was to blame for that. She didn't really have a say in it though. They told her it was fated by the gods. She knew that her one goal was to appease her beloved lords, therefore she went along with it. Katelyn didn't mind learning about new places anyway.
