Aerta took a step back and addressed the guards. "I'm here at the invitation of the queen mother. Kali has informed me that in accordance with your laws, any member of the royal family has the right to invite guests of state over for a formal meeting, and that said meeting is defined by any member of the royal family. This right can only be overruled by a specific decree by the monarch or acting monarch, to be written down, signed, and sealed by said king. As such a decree has not been produced, my being here is perfectly legal as long as the queen mother permits it." 

They relaxed for a moment, unsure what to make of it. They only moved when they heard their lord was in pain. 

Kali nodded and walked back to Aerta. "Right. We won't be far, but you have to handle this yourself. If you need anything, just call for us." The timing was quite good, but perhaps Rughoi's upset mind had exacerbated the physical pain he already felt. Or maybe they were just lucky. Perhaps a bit of both. As it was, no one seemed to question Krakas, so Aerta and Kali felt no need to intervene as thing stood.
