"Wow! So this is your home." Marla said with awe and twirled around the large space the four of them had just entered.
This was their second day at the Duchy capital. The previous day had been used to secure a room at a hotel and then go shopping for presentable clothing.
Clothing of enough standard as the norm of the capital. Gold had been more than enough for that purchase and now Melinda no no longer had any intentions of prolonging issues.
It was high time she returned home and got this over with.
She and Hal walked ahead with Marla and Rita closely behind as they went past the guards who did not even dare to stop her once they noted her light gold eyes.
"Idiots" Melinda had insulted them for not even taking care to inspect if she was an imposter.
Hal had smiled lightly because he knew for sure, that had the guards tried to inspect her, they would have sorely regretted it.
This was the classic 'They can never win' situation.
