Lorelai stood in marked silence as Axon confessed himself to the embodiment of Imperial justice and her chosen knight. During his speech she returned her blade to its sheath as the need for threats and posturing faded away. It was curious to find how sloppy Yggdrasil and Emilia were in covering up their collaboration against Lady Eleanor, considering how many were beginning to come forward with knowledge of their works. There hubris was great if they believed they could act with impunity and be so flagrant with their treachery. At this rate the Imperator would publicly execute them before Lorelai even had a chance to tear Emilia limb from limb.

The Abyssal Knight reached out to Axon and clapped his shoulder.[color=crimson] "I can not say I fully trust you, your profession and previous allegiance are matters I will only reconcile with time so bear with me, but I am impressed by your willingness to throw yourself before the judgement of Lady Eleanor. Regardless of what may befall you, I applaud you for stepping forward to shed light on this grievous injustice committed against my lady."[/color]

A coded knock upon the door drew Lorelai's attention once more, eyes widening in surprise before her face went taut with contemplation.[color=crimson]"Lady Eleanor, a company of knights is approaching the chateau and they are headed by an imposing figure in golden armor. I could be wrong , but my intelligence had lead me to believe that the knight Midgard was nowhere near us, so I would presume that this is an emissary of some note. Loath as I am to think poorly of a fellow Imperial I considered favorably, we can not presume that this visitation is for joyous news. I will take me leave to address them, as well as that peculiar old man smoking on your stoop."[/color]

The Abyssal Knight left Axon to either be accepted or executed by Lady Eleanor while she returned to the Chateau's entrance to address the knight and smoker who seemed to latest in the cadre of fellows hell-bent on ruining Lady Eleanor's well earned reprieve. Her attitude sobered while she schooled herself for coming face to face with General Yenma, a man who cut an impressive figure atop his stead, resplendent in armor that was befitting one of his position. [color=crimson]"Greetings general, I am Lorelai, sworn protector of Lady Eleanor during this times. The lady is currently occupied with a guest, but if you would relay the reasoning for your visit I would gladly relay it to her and see if she will take you. In the meantime you may take your mounts around back to the stables if they require food and drink...pardon me a moment."[/color] 

Her gaze drew to the man who had been patiently awaiting outside the chateau, and nodded to him briefly.[color=crimson]"Excuse me sir, but as you can plainly see it is a busy morning so I thank you for your patience. If you have business then you may speak it here, for the Imperium will not ignore its subjects."[/color]
