“Yes, but before we——, “before she could complete her sentence there is knock upon the door. Walking towards the door Daiya opens it and is surprised to see one of the top ranking guards, her mother slowly makes her way towards the door to greet them both.

“Your majesty apologies for sudden interruption you——-.”

“No need for apologies we are making our way towards the carriage for departure.”

“That is not why I am here.”

“Given reason for presence?”

“There are unsuspecting visitors outside the north gate.”

“Unsuspecting visitors? So they are enemies!?”

“No, I mean maybe your majesty.”

“What do you mean you don’t know!? Either they are friend or foe?”

“We ask they identify themselves and they refused to break words until they have spoken with you. Their refusal warranted our soldiers to surround them with swords drawn.”

“There response?”

“They remain still absent movement.”

“Still, “Daiya ask.

“Yes, your highness.” Queen Maia struggled to understand the information being conveyed to her.

“Have they drawn swords?”

“They have not.”

“They request to break words with me only and other than their unwelcoming presence they pose no imminent threat nor harm!?”

“Yes your majesty.”

“If it is me they desire to speak to you then so be it, “she says regrettably, “Come and lead me to these guest.”

“Mother, with a war raging on it could be a trap!”

“It very well maybe however the sooner I can get rid of them we can proceed with our journey.” Following behind her guard once they reached the confines outside of the castle she was joined with twenty other guards, with Daiya following closely behind. As the drawbridge lifted she waited anxiously to see those who came to pay her a visit. Once the bridge was fully raised she walked down the path finally noticing what the guard had spoken to her of earlier. The image before her was exactly the same the guest standing as one were surrounded by her guards. They had no swords nor weapons drawn they remained completely calm under the hostile circumstances. Standing a few feet away one of the guards speaks out.

“Who are you and what do you wish to discuss with our queen!? No response was rendered.

“Identify yourselves at once?” They remained silent. Growing impatient Queen Maia makes her way through the ranks towards the front. The guest setting eyes upon her in response the woman standing in the front reaches behind her and forces a flag into the ground. Queen Maia looking at the crescent waving back at forth against the wind gasp in shock, as it represented the House of Lesbiannicus. Slowly walking towards them the guards caught off guard from her movement quickly move in front of her.
