Kaede had had some difficulty in entering the castle, what with her very obviously demonic appearance and somewhat harsh attitude. The guards had questioned her for a long long time, which is why she'd had the good planning to arrive early. Eventually her story and words actually managed to sway them and she was allowed into the palace to stand and watch some emperor say some things about honour that she really didnt need to hear to know and alot of flowery words about some other things she wasnt interested in. Around her she could see various female warriors, all with a different look and attitude. Female warriors were the most interesting, a life of hardship and the struggle to be counted effected everyone differently and molded them into unique and terrifying enemies or fierce friends. She wondered who these would be. 

As the Princess and her brother paced down they ranks Kaede stretched and sighed nonchalantly. She wasn't doing this for the money or the prestige, she had enough of both, but it sounded like something she would be of use in this trip or whatever. In any case it sounded like fun and perhaps she would meet friends on the way. Maybe she would find her place on this trip? You never knew until you tried. She had her Katana tied to her side while her chain weapon rested heavily in her sleeve, her red hair bold and glinting in the breeze.
