Madelena had woken up early, she hadn't been able to sleep even in her bed of silks. When she did wake up she called for her servants and they started her bath, once she was done she got massaged and anointed. She was then stuffed into a dress and her highest maid placed her crown upon her head dutifully. When they were done she strapped her short sword to her waist and headed off. 

She went to her banquet hall and sat down with her advisory for breakfast. They debated and made her sign a few documents before she could relax and eat her feast, once she was done she decided that they would leave at once. She had to visit Averice later to discuss business and make a few trades with her queen, one of her messengers came to her as she was mounting her horse with the news that Queen Noona would also be there. "Good, now you may go." She handed him back the scroll and her messenger left.

Madelena's guard joined her as they traveled through the hills at a leisurely pace on the way to Averice.
