“Yes, your Highness.” Thayer quickly slipped the actual dress on, then did the Aueen’s hair and makeup. She passed her a mirror for inspection.

"Honestly, I don't know why I have to visit the kingdom once a month. It's freezing outside. And yet they expect me to pretend I'm not am ice cube and wave and smile and even talk a few if the wealthier villages." She looked at the mirror and nodded. "Thank you Thayer."

Caelum tried to stay still, but it was harder when she would rather be training. There was an upcoming battle against a kingdom further up north in the mountainous regions.

Ailin walked up the long lane leading to Queen Elysia’s palace, uncomfortably pulling on her heavy skirts. Her mother had sent her to accompany the Queen on her journey to the village, and had forced Ailin, a willowy dryad, into the heavy and restricting clothes of the humans.

The Queen stood. "Come Thayer, it's time to get going. If I'm late again, my advisors will strangle me." She teased. She walked out of the Queen's suite and nodded at her guard by the door.

Felix walked up to the queen's room and waited outside of the door for her to come out.

Caelum saw The Queen and followed close behind her, her hand still resting on the dark hilt of her sword. She focused her unwavering amber eyes on everyone who passed.

She nodded and watched the Queen leave.

//I guess willow can jump in now?

Felix stayed a little bit behind Caelum and kept his hand on the hilt of his sword, watching the queen's movements.

She nodded and watched the Queen leave.

//I guess willow can jump in now?

(Yes)

She gracefully hurried down the halls and down the numerous stairs in her palace. It had her wondering what the first royal family was thinking when they had the palace built.

When they reached the exit, Felix opened up the palace doors for her majesty and bowed, waiting for her to go through.

She shivered and pulled her cloak tighter around her as the cool air hit her. She hurried to the carriage and with he help of the others, she managed to stuff her dress into the carriage.

Felix had never been taught where to stand around a carriage. He stared at the queen, kind of lost. Should he mount the horse, get inside, stay outside and run with the carriage?

Elysia snorted. "Felix, you haven't done this before have you?" She asked amused.

//I guess she can drive the carriage or something?

Willow was perched on the seat in the front of the carriage, a loose dress around her.

"Gah!" Felix jumped back and then immediately bowed, "Forgive me, your majesty, I haven't."

She cover her mouth and giggled. "Mount a hourse and follow in front of behind." She told him.

Felix nodded and his eyes brightened, he loved horses. The horse he mounted was big and powerful, completely white with a long, soft mane.

She smiled. "Is everyone here? Can we go now?" She asked no one in particular.

“I’d prefer behind, sir,” Willow said. “Helps me see the road better.”

"I believe so." Felix did as the duchess instructed and stayed behind, keeping an eye on the setting behind him.

Ailin ran up to the carriage, breathless, cheeks flushed and eyes shining. “Forgive me, Your Majesty, the road was longer than I anticipated.”

Willow called the horses to move, and they set off for the villages. “Where is our first stop, m’am?” She asked.
