Thanks for the Power Stones. In return I give you a riddle. It can't be seen, can't be felt, can't be heard, and can't be smelt. It lies behind stars and under hills, And empty holes it fills. It comes first and follows after, Ends life, and kills laughter. What is it? Enjoy the chapter!)

"On behalf of the Bestia Kingdom, I order you to surrender immediately!" The man orders as every soldier on the wall readied themselves for a possible battle.

"Umm... hello." I say and wave at them awkwardly.

As I wave up to the alerted guards, they all stayed ready for battle. One of the less witted guards waved back at me and said hello as well. The guard's stationed next to him berated him and slapped him across the head for it though.

"I'm Syrin Fortis and I have been invited by the royal family to attend school here. I can see that you're a bit antsy, so I'll wait out here while you guys report to your Royal Family." As I say this, Souei summons some chairs, a table, and refreshments.

With a place to sit and some food and drink, my servants and I sat down and waited patiently. Upon the wall, the soldier started to look at us funny. They were completely disregarded by these people, and even worse, they couldn't do anything about it. They had to act professionally as this is their job. Especially, if this person was actually invited to the capital as he claims. A small group of soldiers on the wall left in the direction of the royal palace. After waiting a few minutes, the guards that left returned with an ornate carriage in tow. The soldiers returning ordered the gate open and the carriage rode out of the city stopping in front of us. The door to the carriage opens and our comes Princess Aella.

"Syrin! Why didn't you just appear at the palace?" Aella says as she rushes up to me and gives me a hug.

"I thought that would be a little disrespectful." I say as I notice Aella and Rem staring awkwardly at one another.

One is my possible fiancé and the other is my girlfriend, so this is kind to be a little awkward until they get to know each other.

"Well, it wouldn't have been. We were actually expecting you to appear in the palace like you usually do." Aella says as she breaks her staring contest with Rem.

"Yeah, but I'll be staying here for a while this time, so I thought I would do things the right way." I say.

"Alright, we should get to the palace. When the guards came to report someone at the gate, my parents heard it was you and said to bring you to see them." She says and escorts us into the carriage.

A short ride through the city and we arrive at the royal palace. The city itself is well kept and cleaner than most. I know this from Souei's reports I've received on the state of other country's. The palace itself is bigger than ours, but it's more simple and less decorative. The guards let us pass easily as they see that it's the eldest princess. Some of them also recognize me, but most don't know who I am just yet.

We exit the carriage and some servants escort us to through the halls of the giant palace. As we move through the palace, maids and guards bow to Aella as we pass. The minority that know me and who I am now to me as well. Before we could reach our destination, a tall fox person with orange hair matching his ears and tail appears. He walks straight up to Aella and bows holding his hand out to her.

"It's wonderful to see you again, Princess." He says with a look of infatuation.

"It's nice to see you again, Armad." Aella says with a fake smile and reluctantly puts her hand forward.

Taking her hand, he kisses the back of it and stands up returning Aella's hand to her. The look on Princess Aellas face throughout this encounter has been a mix of awkward and annoyed. I decided to just sit back and enjoy the show.

"Would you like to accompany me to the gardens, Your Highness?" Armad offers and finally notices that she isn't alone. "Preferably just the two of us." He adds as he goes back to ignoring our presence.

"No, thank you. As I've said since the day we met, I have no interest in you courting me, Armad." Aella says and an annoyed look flashed on Armads face, but he covers it up quickly with a warm smile. "If you'll excuse us, I have to get to a meeting with my father."

"Alright, Your Highness. I wouldn't want to hold you from a meeting with His Majesty." Armad says and promptly steps out of our way.

Princess Aella walks right past him without sparing him another look. As she passes, I could see a look of contempt appear on Armads face. I guess he really is ignoring us completely. What's with this cliche evil love rival that just appeared. Whatever, if he gets on my nerves I'll just have him killed or something.

As we leave behind the cliche love rival, the servant that's been guiding us brings us to a set of large ornate doors with guards stationed outside. Before going inside, Aella turns to us with a worried look.

"If my father wants to meet you here, then theirs a big chance other Nobles will be inside as well. I don't know what my father has planned, but be calm and prepared." Aella says seriously.

"Don't worry, Princess. I think you forget that I'm royalty as well. I've been trained thoroughly for situations like this. Just sit back and enjoy the show." I say with a reassuring smile and turn to my servants. "Stay out here and wait for me I'll be back in a bit." I order and Souei enters my shadow just in case I need protection.

Aella looks at me for a moment and nods before motioning the guards to open the doors. As the doors open, I'm met with a large throne room. The room has tall ceilings, stone pillars, colored glass windows, and a red carpet leading up to the throne. Atop the throne is the beast king and to his right is a gorgeous woman that looks like an older version of Aella. That must be the Aellas mother, the queen. On either side of the red carpet leading up to the throne are noble men and women dressed in fine clothing. As we enter the room, a guard near the entrance announces us.

"Introducing her royal highness, princess Aella Bestia and her fiancé his highness, prince Syrin Fortis."

Hmm, I wasn't expecting that. What is the beast king up to?
