Welcome to Gaia! ::

He didn't seem to worried about payment again in which she was very puzzled and tried to figure out why a man would worry more about the job at hand then the payment he was received in her own experience with people they always asked for money first... She managed to follow him back to his men and approached the silver griffins as they called it,'Bless day", she said bowing her head slightly to the men in the room,"I have commissioned you all for a special important task... there is a skirmish at my border and it there is threat of war I fear for the countries state can you handle the issues and report back to me on what events took place", she said looking at them all,"I have offered payment as well as room and board if you need it", she concluded.

The princess waved them off as she seen them leave,"Do come back!", she told them hoping they would remain safe upon doing this she was going to turn and leave when the main councilor made an appearance,"Oh... Sir Effohaul I didn't see you", she smiled as the man looked at her puzzled,"Who were they your highness?", he asked narrowing his eyes at the fleeting group,"The silver griffins... they sound familiar.. please", she said,"If there is a way to keep them in the town make sure they are reinstated", she told the council as the man looked rather uncertain,"Of course your highness at your command", he bowed to her before leaving to grumble to himself; To his knowledge it was he who had the order secretly to have this dispatched from the castle... after his affair with the king's late sister when they were much younger.. he had the captain of that group framed after the kings death so that he wouldn't be on the chopping block... managing to keep his status and everything under concealment he unfortunately had to give up his lover for the sake or priority... He wasn't sure how he was going to be able to carry out the princess's request without drawing up old ties... he managed to catch the other councilor from earlier who came through,"Did you here the news Effohaul?", said the man as he walked with him,"There is a skirmish on the border! proclaims of war! I have told her majesty-", Efforhaul stopped and grabbed at the main roaring in his face,"You did what!!", he snarled,"I...I...", the man was stunned and shaking in his boots,"I told... her majesty...?", the man was shoved into the wall as effohaul began to rage,"You fool!! you went and told her highness worrying her to death about the prospects of this kingdom? Have you not seen the girl!", he growled in his face,"She is nothing more than a child barely a woman and can't even do anything past prayer and being a lady stop worrying her about affairs of state instead you should be finding her a husband!", he snapped as the man stalked off,"We will have a meeting immediately call the council together!", he shouted as the other man ran off terrified by the head councilors rage.

The princess waited in the temple in prayer most of the time she took rest by the alter and fasted the entire time until she heard news of the knights coming back with a glorious defeat, as she rose from the temple and left to rest she felt very relieved by exhausted and took to bed immediately before they came to get some sleep upon awakening she was still sleepy but had a whole assembly ready for them with great people out front in waiting for there return the castle musicians playing trumpets going and there she stood in grandeur though very tired she was smiling and welcome them home,'Our champions!", she said happily as the whole crowd cheered for them,"We would like to propose a proposition", she said taking before her a seal with the griffins amulet something they probably hadn't seen in a very long time,"I found your seal... it was stowed away in my fathers possessions I read about his journals and found that you knights were very famous and helped my kingdom a lot... I would love if you took this and accept the new guild hall that I made for your knights", she told there captain handing over the crest,"If you will accept the job of course you will be the kingdoms number top teir knights... highly proclaimed and given special abliites as you had in the past", she said feeling herself somewhat light headed from the buzz of the people she tried to manage herself from swaying gently,"Do you except this offer?", she asked.

"I am most glad", said the princess as she made them rise with her hand and seeing all the happy faces she felt at peace and glad her savior night would be so close,"You may rest and feast excuse me for I must retire for now", she told them in an apologetic tone of voice as she left the festivities so that she may seek rest in her chamber... leaving the area she managed to stagger down the hallways as if in a drunken state and tumble through her bedroom doors... she was so exhausted she barely managed to get the heavy coat of arms from her shoulders before clasping on the bed feeling her head spin as she lay there eyes closing to the defeat of sleep... The councilors were very quiet at the party and decided to stay away though some of the people in the palace remembered the knights and took about discussing old times while there was merry making, wine drinking and plenty of food with music and dancing.... a young maid came by the princess's door rather alarmed she ran and told the steward of the house in which turn told Councilor Effohaul,"Whats the problem", he snapped as they headed down the hall,"Call up a physician! if she wasn't so damn irresponsible!", he was terrified if she ended up dying this country would go into ruin and under the thumb of her cousin... or be split by war his most important fear was losing his power as high councilor after obtaining it through means it would pose difficult and ruin his life.

The councilor and 2 others along with a page and the physician where on there way to the princess's chamber upon seeing there was already a guard up, the councilor panicked.. had the princess already manage to wake and call in someone? He had to make sure no one knew of her ill state,"Of course give us a full briefing of her condition once you are finished doctor", he said stiffly glaring at Zero before waving for his group to follow there wasn't much he could do unless he knew that man was stationed he decided to ask his captain or perhaps the captain of the guards if the princess had requested anyone.. that knight was going to be a nuisance!
The physician entered upon checking her vitally before re-positioning her in bed and told him at the door,"Upon her highness orders I am assume you are here sir and I shall leave you to your work", as he also assumed no one was to enter,"I shall send my attendant later to check on her unless she worsens", he said before going to seek the councilor.
Ambrelle slept for several hours before wakening her eyes tired as she felt them blink slowly awake, she felt a presence near her and called out,"Who watches over my sleeping form?".

"Isn't a queen supposed to be known for her love and devotion?", she said quietly her eyes resting,"I have much to live up to concerning my parents... though my pacifist nature has caused me to look very weak", she said quietly,"I avoid conflict... I know that I am young and some think very naive but.. I do want to do very well",she told him quietly,"So yes.. dear knight I did stay up.. I fasted and prayed I did what I thought I could as a queen and as a woman.. perhaps it wasn't the best solution but... through error I shall prevail to victory with learning", she turned her head towards him,"Have I caused worry among my people is my condition known?" ,she said feeling disappointment fill her eyes,"They are so precious to me.. the kingdom is all I have left of my parents.. It is very hard though bearing this weight If my brother would have lived instead of dying of the illness with my mother I would not have this weight to bear", she confessed to him.

He was right perhaps he would give her good advice when she was unsure of things,"I will accept your offer... but please since this is a man's world you may have to assist me in matters of state.. for I am not that knowledgeable in this...", she confessed,"I am sure.. within the year I will have a marriage proposal and then all will fall upon my new husband but until then I would greatly appreciate all the help", she told him feeling herself drifting back to sleep but she wished to stay up longer,"Did you come on your own accord or were you sent by someone else?", she asked.
