The beginning of the trip to Caesonia for Mayet and the rest of the Alidasht's royals was marked by Nala's annoyed growls, which, unsurprisingly, summed up Mayet's own feelings pretty well as both of them weren't that good with long, boring trips. Especially by ship... As they boarded the ship that would take them to Caesonia, both of them immediately headed towards the room Mayet had demanded especially for herself and Nala, filled with the finest and softest silk pillows in Alidasht and all the comforts she could ask for the trip, including aromatic incenses and even fresh food for her and Nala. Still, despite all that, it didn't change the fact that the trip was still quite a hassle and both of them were already annoyed by it, even though it had barely begun.

[color=d3c28b]"Believe-me Nala, I hate traveling by ship as much as you do..."[/color] Mayet said with an annoyed sigh as she laid down on the pillows, shortly followed by Nala, who laid down just besides Mayet, letting out a soft, annoyed growl, much like Mayet's own sigh.

[color=d3c28b]"At least it will be worth it once we arrive. I've been told that one of the biggest reasons for this ball being held is to welcome our arrival in Caesonia and according to the rumors, the Caesonian royals do know how to treat their guests of honor very well."[/color] Mayet said with a smile, just as Nala gave a soft growl, letting her head fall on top of Mayet's lap.

[color=d3c28b]"You are so cute when you act spoiled like that! Come here, just lay down and relax so you wont get seasick. If you're feeling fine later, we can go stretch our legs, maybe even visit Layla's room, okay?"[/color] Mayet said, hugging Nala for a moment before she began to softly caress Nala's head.

Just like the rumors and the stories she had heard, the Caesonia Castle, more specifically it's ballroom, didn't fail to impress. While the architecture was very different to the preferred style on Alidasht, it was undeniable that it couldn't be called anything other than a masterpiece. Both the architecture of the building itself and how the interior was decorated seemed to be prepared with painstaking effort. Even those who disliked that style of architecture couldn't help but admire it. The interior definitely did not betray the expectations from those who saw it from the outside. From the beautiful, vibrant blue curtains and the gilded structures which decorated each pillar to the musicians playing and even how every single torch seemed to be placed in order to not only make the corridor well lit, but to further highlight the details and beauty of the halls and the ballroom. It almost made the long and boring trip worth it.

[color=d3c28b]"So the rumors weren't just exaggeration after all! The Caesonian Ballroom is surely a marvel to look at."[/color] Mayet said to herself as she walked through the halls together with her siblings, following the Sultan and the Grand Vizier, just a few steps behind in a V formation.

[color=d3c28b]"And to think all of this was prepared to welcome our stay on Caesonia..."[/color] Mayet said with a satisfied smile.

[color=d3c28b]"Well... It would be rude to disappoint them, wouldn't it? After all, they prepared all this for us. Let them bask in Alidasht's glorious presence!"[/color] Mayet said with a confident smile as she looked to Layla, just as the doors to the ballroom opened and their entourage began entering.

[color=d3c28b]"Don't worry Amir, I'll be sure to steal your spotlight!"[/color] Mayet said with a mischievous smile, teasing Amir, whom she knew well didn't like being the center of attentions.

[color=d3c28b]"And Munir, Nahir... Please behave yourselves... Especially among other women [i]and[/i] men."[/color] she said with a teasing grin towards both of them. Both Munir and Nahir by themselves were already [i]too good[/i] at partying... When both of them were together... Things tended to quickly get out of hand...

Unlike the Sultan and the Grand Vizier, Mayet didn't chose to be carried on a palanquin. Instead, she chose to walk besides [url=https://i.pinimg.com/564x/65/ed/e1/65ede1c3ca05d91fbe6f37e47efa0b44.jpg]Nala[/url]. Those watching could easily imagine Mayet mounting the huge tigress, seeing it's impressive size compared to the rather petite Mayet. The tigress carried herself with pride, never leaving Mayer's side as she looked to the people around them with a fierce expression, a clear warning against those who dared to approach Mayet without her consent.

The beautiful [url=https://i.pinimg.com/564x/60/b7/f1/60b7f1ff18c1601f56329aa796a69136.jpg]midnight blue dress[/url] she wore not only highlighted her body due to the revealing and figure-hugging design, but the darker color also seemed to complement both her skin tone and the multitude of golden jewelry she wore incredibly well. Every step she gave exuded power and confidence. The confidence of a woman who knew who she was, of someone who carried herself with the pride of a royal. Her presence was almost palpable as she walked through the ballroom, despite her size and being one of the youngest children of the Sultan. Her posture, her expression and even her fiery, piercing gaze as she looked around the ballroom, the weight of her stare enough to make most people have the reflex of look away when their eyes met. Those who resisted said reflex and stared back earned a small, discreet, but curious smile from Mayet. 

[color=d3c28b]"Nala, let them know... We have arrived."[/color] Mayet said giving a glance to Nala, whom immediately gave a few steps forward and roared, loud enough to almost drown the music on the background before she calmly walked back to her position besides Mayet.

Following such entrance, Mayet gave a short, half-bow towards the Caesonia king and queen, just enough to not be considered a disrespect towards the hosts, but a clear indication that she did not see herself as less than anyone on the room. Regardless of their position, age or gender.
