When the guard came back he gave them permission to enter, a few other guards had followed him back and they escorted them to the castle. If any of the villagers tried to cause their guests harm then they were informed to strike them down, even if it were their own neighbour. The king was so close to peace that he wouldn't tolerate any fool getting in the way of it. Though he didn't say to kill the villager, just to put them in their place. When they arrived at the king's castle the guards stepped aside. "The king only wishes to speak alone with the queen, though if any of you wish to speak with him after then you may do so." the guard seemed nervous as he spoke. "You may go unescorted." he said to the queen politely. They didn't want her to feel uncomfortable with the amount of guards that would have brought her to the king. They wanted her to feel as if she were at home.

Bryon had excused most of his servants for today, he didn't want them to be nagging at him or interrupting him as he spoke to the queen. This was an important matter and it would be dangerous to bother him about anything else today. Bryon was a kind man, but when it came to this he wouldn't be kind at all. Well, he would be polite and kind to the queen but everyone else would be seen as a nuisance if they bothered him. Bryon felt nervous as he waited for the queen, he decided not to have her come to his throne room alone. He waited at the bottom of the stairs for her arrival, he would walk with her to the throne room.

Judith was inside of the green room again, she knew that the queen would be here today and though she wanted to meet the woman she knew that it was an inappropriate time to do so. She would meet her eventually since the king wanted to make her his friend. Bryon had tried to find his dragon for her and Judith seemed to have lost Vrine in the massive room. Though today he had come to her as she sat by the river reading. Vrine had crawled in to her lap and began to paw at the pages in her book when she didn't pay any attention to him.

She let out a heavy sigh as she finally closed the book and placed it in the grass beside her. "I need some time to myself sometimes," she said to him and began to scratch behind his ears. Vrine purred and stretched out his body across her lap. "Now where have you been?" she asked him and tilted her head. "You gave me a scare when you ran off like that." Vrine's ears shot back and he whimpered, seeming to understand that he had upset her. Judith ran her hand along his body and let out a heavy sigh. "Oh, stop that." she mumbled.

Judith jumped a little as she felt something tugging at her shirt. When she looked down there was another little dragon starring up at her with snow white eyes. His body was similar to Vrine though she was much smaller and her colors were different. She had black fur and her wings were white, her claws matched her wings. Horns curled around her ears just as they did on Vrine. "Is this your girlfriend?" she asked Vrine and reached out her hand to the female dragon. Bryon had told her that her name was Reine. When Reine nuzzled her face against Judith's hand she sighed. "You're an attention whore too, aren't you?" she asked.
