Anastasia stepped out of the gardens and found a knight standing not to far away. She smiled at him, "Would you mind watching over me while I work?" She asked. The knight looked at her and followed. Wonderful, she thought as she looked at him, "Do we have a map room any where in the castle?"

The man nodded again, "That we do. Follow me," He said and guided her to a room that was filled to the brim with maps. A man with large glasses sat in there. He jumped to his feet and bowed, "Your majesty... I cannot say I was expecting you."

Anastasia looked from him to the knight, "Can you grab Gerald for me and ask him and the knights to meet in the grand hall. I have a proposition for them," She then turned back to the man. She smiled at him, "Hello...."

"Rennick, your majesty."

"Hello Rennick. I was wondering if you had a map of the country," she said softly as she looked around the room. Surely he would have the country drawn on one of these maps. He nodded and waddled from his table to a cupboard. Opening it, he pulled out a map and rolled it out on his desk, "Here you are, your highness."

Anastasia inspected it, "Does it have all the cities on it?"

He nodded, "Most."

"Wonderful, do you mind bringing it with me to the grand hall?" She asked tentatively. The man grinned and nodded once more and the two headed to the grand hall.
