[color=6ecff6][i]Few visitors? Well… I suppose with a war not many foreigners would make it this far. It’s quite well hidden.[/i][/color] Thinking to herself as she looked over at Ozragad smiling when he mentioned it was marble but with a twist. [color=6ecff6][i]Moon crystal? I’ve heard of that.[/i][/color] Looking back up at the palace and it’s glow she couldn’t help but appreciate it more, it was eye catching and would be envious to any person setting eyes on it for the first time. [color=6ecff6][i]I wonder if I will have to ride to the palace, I haven’t been on a horse in a while. That would be quite nice.[/i][/color] 

However, her attention was caught when the gates had started to lower, quite a few individuals on horseback had emerged and her eyes caught sight of a palanquin which answered her earlier question. [color=6ecff6][i]Well, could have been worse I suppose. Probably safer.[/i][/color] Curious as she saw Ozragad frown at the site she wondered what had caused the reaction, was something wrong? Keeping her mouth shut from asking she felt that was a question for another day, for now these affairs were his own and she felt it would be insensitive to ask such questions. 

[color=6ecff6][b]“Of course.”[/b][/color] Nodding her head, she watched as the King rode off to meet with the individuals at the bridge, she couldn’t help but watch from afar although she couldn’t hear anything. Well I’m sure it’s nothing for me to worry about. Waving it off she turned to Treville who looked concerned, most of her men did but they were in enemy ground. They were all quite far from home, well this will be my new home. Sighing as she glanced back at the glowing palace wondering if she would be happy here.

[b]“Your highness, I implore you to watch your tone. You’re treading a fine line already and you’re not married yet. For all our sake consider your words.” Treville sighed looking over the Princess, he had a wealth of experience and he would use it to assist her whilst here. He was fiercely loyal to the Hydealyn family.[/b] 

[color=6ecff6][b]“Treville… I appreciate your concern however I will not let him think he has power over me. I am not some meek princess who needs to be saved. I’m more than just a dutiful wife who is supposed to provide heirs. That’s not me.”[/b][/color]

[b]“With all due respect your highness, that is you. That has been your role ever since you were born. All your lessons up to this day have been for a moment like this, that is your part. The dutiful wife, to be a beloved Queen of the people. This is what life has dealt you, perhaps it is different here, but at the end of the day you are to marry a King. The entire council and his people will expect you to be his Queen, provide heirs and sit at his side.”[/b] Treville sighed to himself as he looked at his men who seemed quite tense in this discussion. 

[color=6ecff6][b]“What a stupid role in life. Perhaps I’ll end up being his prisoner instead. Far more interesting”[/b][/color] Turning away from Treville her tone dropping at her last sentence as she looked back towards Ozaragd frowning when she heard his voice, what was out of the question? Girl!? Didn’t even bother to use my name. Pursing her lips as she listened on wondering what his words meant, the idea of him sneaking back she could only assume some sort of unrest had happened with his people. [color=6ecff6][i]My fault no doubt. [/i][/color]

Looking up at Ozragad as he stared at her intently, it felt like he was on edge and a part of her felt uncomfortable. [color=6ecff6][b]“Right, Treville. You heard the King. His orders are my orders.”[/b][/color] Glancing at Treville who stood tall and bowed his head out of respect before ordering his men to do as such. Moving forward she walked to the palanquin not daring to argue the matter, as much as riding a horse would have been a nice bit of freedom this was the safest route. Especially if there had been unrest with his people. 

[color=6ecff6][i]I wonder if the Eorzians would have felt the same.[/i][/color] Shaking the thought from her head she clambered into the palanquin not even taking the help of Treville who had moved forward realising she was doing things for herself.
