A section of the West Wing separated from the other rooms that house the teams. It is a long hallway with multiple bedrooms that each belong to a member of the Royal Family, or had at some point.
The older members ,who now have their own estates, still have their rooms from when they lived in the Guild to use for visits and the such...
Main Room [Current Guildmaster's Room]
---
Jupiter's Room [Closed]
---
Pluto's Room
A rather large room. The second half of the room has a large half-dome glass roof and walls, allowing sunlight to stream in at all times of the day. A large circular bed lies under this dome for Pluto and his wife.
A temporary wall had been erected between the domed area and the normal section of the room, where those of Pluto's staff that came with him is staying.
Venus's Room

Fire---Venus
The Flareon lead the way down the corridor and winding halls, turning corner after corner until finally approaching the Royal Familiy's section of the West Wing.
She paused to examine the pictures on the wall before glancing at Doku with a frown.
"Beating around the bush is not a smart thing to do around mom, so...we'll have to get to the point quickly."
She tapped on the nearby door and two fiery red eyes peered out.
"Elizabeth? What is-"
"ALEXANDER IS ALIVE!"
The door flew open in flames, flying across the hall to smolder out of existence on the floor.
The burning Flareon stepped out and her gaze flickered about intensly before landing on Doku.
"MY BABY! MY BABY HAS COME BACK!" she cried out happily, trying to wrap him in a hug only for Fire to shove her way between them and save him years of therapy and skin grafts.

 DokuDoku blinked at the instructions he was given by Fire.
From what he deduced from this, the things he had heard about Venus must be true.
He took a few frightened steps back as Fire kept the mother Flareon from hugging him to a burning death.
"S-So... You're my mom?" He asked softly as he gazed at the elder Flareon.
None of her looked familiar to him, not even in his deepest, most forgotten memories.
"My name is Doku, now..."

Fire---Venus
Venus settled down, pausing to lick her paws absenmindedly.
"A mother knows the scent of her children, regardless of how long they've been parted. You're my little Alexander, and just like Elizabeth you can call yourself whatever you want, but you will always be my Alexander."
Fire rolled her eyes at this. It was true, no form of complaint would make Venus refer to her as 'Fire'.
Seeing this gesture, Venus flared up again.
"You'll answer to the name I damn well gave you, and like it!" This was directed at poor Doku as well.

DokuDoku's ears flattened a little against his head.
Venus was almost exactly like his Weavile mother.
"Well... I'm sorry if I don't answer to it at first, I'm not used to that name," The Leafeon replied.
"I can't remember anything about my real family..."
He shook his head and sighed.
"I woke up years ago and was taken in by a family of Weaviles. I have a brother named Aryan, and... I have a mate, now, too... And all of this isn't Alexander. It's Doku..."

Fire---Venus
Venus nodded along, as though she werent listening at all until the word 'mate' popped into the conversation.
"More grandbabies!" She howled happily and then paused to regard Doku with a snarl.
"Of what species is this mate?"
Fire growled, "Mother please! Does it even matter?"
"Yes it does! You may have ruined the family tradition, but I have a chance with Alexander! Now what is she?!"
Fire shook her head and retreated out of the older Flareon's path.

DokuDoku cocked his head to the side.
Family tradition?
"She's a Leafeon. Why, is that bad?" He asked.
When he heard about Fire breaking the family tradition, more confusion grabbed his little mind.
"Are we not allowed to have really cute babies or something?"

Fire---Venus
The older Flareon sighed in relief.
"No, dear. Another Leafeon is wonderful~ Pure bred Eevee children. Excellent."
Fire huffed indignantly behind her mother and snapped her teeth threateningly.
"When will you be having children?" Venus asked ,happily. "And when can I meet her?"

DokuInternally, Doku whimpered a little.
It seemed his mother was really opposed to inter-species relationships.
His white face lashed pink when the talk of children arose.
"W-Well... We haven't given it much thought..." He said softly.
"Right now she's at Fire's team room, helping watch over the grandchildren you already have."

Venus smiled, "I'll be visiting you later then, dear. I must find where your father has strayed off to."
Possibly Adonis was off fully engulfed in flames somewhere.
Fire stepped forward and nudged her brother in the side.
"Let's go while she's still calm." She whispered.
"And do feel free to visit me as well, Alexander!" The Lady Eclipse called after them.
"The nerve of her...." Fire snapped, shaking her head. "Just because Mugen isnt an Eeveelution."

Doku"Yeah, that is a bit messed up. I mean, I once had a crush on this Sneasel girl. Imagine how that would have ended up?" Doku replied quietly as they both turned to leave.
"Well, let's get out of here..." The Leafeon added as they began to leave.

 PlutoPluto pushed the door open to his room, entering without looking back to Selena. Beside the door sat a dormant Metang which came to life with his arrival, eyes glowing red. "Welcome back Master Eclipse. Is this your guest?" Came the voice of Adme, the Porygon2 program that ran the Metang-Computer. "Yes, this is Selena Eclipse. Add her as an occupant of the Castle of the Sun. You already have files on her." Pluto told the computer without a second glance, going across the room and heading for the temporary wall. His strength was already flagging, in the short time between the sunlit room of the Rebirth Lookout and the artificial lighting of now. Pluto pushed open the door to the second half of the room, this time turning around, holding the door until Selena entered. He looked to his staff which had followed him, motioning for them to stay behind. He entered and closed the door himself after Minerva went in, and closed his eyes for a moment, basking in the warmth and strength of the sun coming through the glass ceiling and walls. Then the Leafeon turned to Selena, gesturing to a chair and taking one of his own, climbing on and sitting upright. "I believe that I deserve to know exactly how my brother died." He started, and then coughed to clear his throat of its raspy sound. "It has brought me grief for too long...far too long. It seems closure is finally within my reach."

Selena
The Umbreon wavered after leaping up onto the chair and coiling her tail around her paws.
Her eyes scanned the odd room for something to focus on other than the intense gaze of the Leafeon in front of her.
Finally, with a sigh, she frowned and shifted so that she could stare at the floor while she spoke.
" It was Solaris's evolution day. I hid in the chamber so I could see which Pokemon he chose and then choose the one that would give me the greatest advantage. I thought...that maybe...if it became clear that I could beat him then Dad would realize I deserved the throne more."
Her golden eyes flickered toward the door as though wanting to take off.
"I continued to wait until Father started the ceremony to pass down the crown and cut in to strike at him. I was...it was stupid. I thought I could scare him into accepting me, but...I forgot my limbs and claws were longer with the new evolution and feinting a swipe at his throat, I actually cut it. The second I realized what I did, Solaris was already freaking out and shouting for the guards to attack me so I panicked and fled."
She scuffed her paws against the cushion on the chair.
"It had been an accident. I swear it. I never...meant to hurt daddy..." She gave a sharp wail at the childish word.

 MinervaMinerva hopped off her chair lightly, her paws landing on the ground with a soft patter. She walked over to Selena and gave her an awkward Eevee-hug. " There there Selena. It's alright. It was just an accident. No one in their right mind could call you a murderer." Well, that wasn't necessarily true. What Selena had done was incredibly, inconceivably stupid. Swiping at her own father's throat? Even if she intended it to be a feint, common sense should have told her otherwise. Maybe it was just her instincts as a mother, but Minerva knew that Selena needed vindication. She needed acceptance and innocence, not a label of guilt. Not from Minerva, anyways. She had no doubt her husband would be somewhat less sympathetic to the mistake. She pulled her arms away from Selena and looked at her directly. " We'll make sure you get the chance to speak. Whether it's to only a few people or the entire kingdom, we'll make sure you can speak for yourself this time. You made a terrible, terrible mistake. But you should be given the chance to speak and to atone."

Pluto Pluto closed his eyes at the end of Selena's recounting. He had been sick that day, held down by a fever, unable to attend. Not that Jupiter had even attempted to move the day for his brother to be present. The news had reached him hours late. His first calls for an investigation were drowned by everyone's solid belief that Selena had done it for the throne, lost her nerve, and fled. It didn't take him long to believe it either. And thus started the fight for his family's name and honour, for so many had believed he had been involved. "You foolish, foolish child. You know how your father was, even if you were able to beat your brother...to allow his female child to reign over his male...I fought for your entire life against that. And to feign such a dangerous action...!" His voice began to rise, but he sighed, letting go of his momentum at Minerva's words. "If only you had stayed your ground. All we needed was a powerful psychic type to uncover the truth...but now, you have five years of hatred and the perpetuation of the belief you had killed Jupiter for the crown to fight against." Pluto emphasized the shift from the word "we" to "you", and leaned against the side of a chair, bringing a paw up to his forehead. "Your actions have caused me much grief Selena, and stolen what health I had. Go, undo the wrong you have done, but I will not stand by you as I have before."There was the hint of a threatening growl in his voice at the end. He felt no sympathy for the Umbreon, but kept his anger in check for the sake of his wife. There was so much to reconsider, so much work to be done... So suddenly, everything he had been working towards for the last five years have been for nothing. So suddenly, any burden he has felt for Jupiter's death lifted.
