Genbu was sort of caught off guard by the star knight. Everything was pretty new to him, so a random person approaching him wasn't totally new, but from the look Maya gave, something big was happening. He had no idea who this Madam Royce was either. He turned to Maya and whispered to her hoping to gain some clarity. [color=007236]"Should I go with him? Who is Madam Royce?"[/color] 

Maya just looked at him like he had four heads. [color=f7941d]"How do you not know who she is."[/color] Maya said quite audibly. 

[color=007236]"I am not from here. I do not know anyone."[/color] He tried to defend himself.

[color=f7941d]"Well that's obvious. She's one of the Twilight Trio. This is a star knight. They help defend Bervenia, but now they are actually being deployed against the aliens."[/color] Things were slowly coming together, but Genbu was still feeling a little confused. 

He still looked to Maya for an answer whether to go to Madam Royce. [color=007236]"So, do I want to go with him? Will she treat me poorly like the others?"[/color] He had learned in previous days that people typically acted similarly to their leaders. He didn't even know he was being treated poorly until Maya helped him, but he liked having her around. It was like having an assistant to help him learn and navigate. 

[color=f7941d]"Ha, no, you don't need to worry about that. The guards are just idiots that abuse any little power they have. The Madam Royce and the knights are a lot better, as long as you haven't actually done anything against them. They were the primary force that stopped an invasion from Illisk a long time ago. A couple of fanatical tribes thought they could conquer Bervenia. They were pretty dumb."[/color]

The knight had been waiting patiently to see what he might need to do, but fortunately it seemed it wouldn't be hard. He decided to speak up now. [b]"The Star Knights retain the utmost respect. If you have been harassed, please tell us and we will take care of it. Madam Royce would also like to have an audience with you. She reigns with grace and elegance. She would never say so, but it is an honor to be in her presence."[/b]

[color=f7941d]"It really is."[/color] Maya piped. [color=f7941d]"I'm almost jealous of you. I won't be coming. I have my own reasons, but maybe I'll see you around again." [/color]

[color=007236]"Uhh, bye"[/color], Genbu was barely able to get a proper farewell before she left. [color=007236]"I guess I will be going with you then. Is there anything I will need first?"[/color] He was mostly concerned with his appearance as of now. If normal people would treat him differently without a shirt, then surely it would be inappropriate to confront a ruler like that. 

[b]"No, you are fine as is. Madam already knows who you are, and she is eager to see you. She is very understanding as well."[/b] Genbu was rather shocked now. He was expected after 7000 years. That did not seem right or make sense to him. A lot was happening very fast, but he didn't know what to do other than just roll with it. The walk to meet this ruler was short for Genbu. He did have plenty of time to let his imagination soar. For a woman to rule such a grand city, her presence alone must make men shiver. An image of a woman with white skin sitting atop a throne with long shallow stairs, adorned with long robes and magnificent jewelry filled his mind. Surely she would have several magnificent guards lining either end of her chamber. Who knew what other new wonders would surely intimidate him. 

Nothing could have prepared him for the truth though. Upon entering her what he was told was her chamber, he was shocked to see no one around. Where were all of her advisors and guards and anyone really. There were only books. The books were everywhere. It was probably more books than he'd seen in his whole life. The room was naturally lit by magnificent panes of glass. He never imagined a single pane of glass would ever be able to be fashioned so massively. What came next was truly shocking though. 

[b]"Madam Royce, Genbu has come."[/b] He said with a slight bow. When a little girl clad in green turned swivel chair, Genbu just stared for a moment, trying to take in this turn of events. When he finally gained composure, he copied the knight and bowed his head as well. 

[color=007236]"Hello, Madam Royce"[/color]
