"Treat your oaths recklessly and your people will do the same."
Valeska would shift her attention back to her guest and then back at Athena, passing a light smirk and was hopeful that her King would see the man her daughter saw in him. She turned around in a quick twirl and motioned for them to follow her as she headed inside. "I hope He's around to meet you though, let's just hope he's in a pleasant mood." she would remark as she headed inside, chuckling lightly.

((Sorry! I forgot to post as him. I'll have him let Ambrosia in first since Kaiden isn't on the premises))
Aldon sighed "What's more important than having to decide among the cra-children of the Emperor as to which is to become the next queen of Zalto." he mumbled under his breath so that only his mother could hear. He recrossed his arms as he watched it all pass before him. He kept his mouth shut as they all said their pieces. He was about to follow his mother when he was stopped by a guard. He listened to the guard ramble on about some girl being at the fort gate claiming to be a friend of Kaiden's. He sighed, there was only one person who would so blatantly put a target on their head. He pinched the arch of his nose and turned to head towards the gate. "I'll catch up with you all in a moment. Miss Aleksei has arrived to visit Kaiden. I will see to it that she is let inside and is alright after the journey. After all she must be important to the Emperor for him to have dealt with keeping her at the castle for a month.."Or maybe she's just his newest play thing. Poor girl. He nodded to Athena, knowing she'd probably wish to see the girl when they all settle their business, and headed towards the gate. Once he got to the gate he took a look at the girl standing before him. Something was different with her but he couldn't figure out what. She did look ill though. He straightened and nodded to the guards to let her in. "Miss Aleksei, I'd usually say it was a pleasure to see you in good health but honestly it currently looks as if you are ill from your travels. Come on inside and away from the night chill. Rascal it's good to see you again. If you would follow me." He said leaning over and grabbing her bags...well bag. Rascal had growled at him when he reached for the one with the herbs and instead picked it up gingerly in his wolf jaws. Ambrosia didn't say anything to him besides thanking him for letting her in. He led her inside and set her stuff down by the door, "You are welcome to wait here or explore but since you are clearly feeling ill, I'd recommend sitting down and waiting for Kaiden's arrival. I will talk to mother about a room for you." Ambrosia spoke a soft thank you and sat down. He walked away worried for the girl.

Athena tried not to snicker at Aldon's comment of the emperor's children before hearing news that sweet miss Ambrosia was at the gate to visit Kaiden. Of course she gave her eldest brother a warm smile to his nod, knowing that he knew she'd want to see the girl when she had the chance. Then she moved to catch up with her mother, still holding onto Roland's hand in a hope that he would follow along. Granted if he chose not to she wouldn't be able to drag him along, nor would she let his hand go either. After all they had been caught in one another's arms by Aldon and then her mother had clearly seen their hands clasped together, so this would be her way of openly saying he was her chosen one. Roland was her hearts desire and she felt it only right to show it, even if they wouldn't be able to see her father just yet.

Princess Esther Drosselmyer of Lionis
Enter
Down the road quickly came a horse-drawn carriage made of the finest riches of the world. Along with this carriage of refinement was an armed escort of ten knights with the symbol of the royal Drosselmyer house embellishing their capes of ranking. The coachmen lowers down from his seat with a trumpet in hand and blows mightily in proclamation of the royal appearance. "Announcing the arrival of Princess Esther Drosselmyer, Third princess to the Kingdom of Lionis, and Princess Elentiya Drosselmyer, Fourth princess to the Kingdom of Lionis!"
While the coachman would open the carriage door for the ladies a knight would hold out their hand to help the dainty girls down the step then take formation beside the princesses just as the other knights respectfully did so; making sure to march at the right pace and to not completely suffocate Esther & Elentiya.
Esther wasn't sure if Elentiya likes the royal treatment but she sure did, and it shows as the older princess walked along gracefully with sought after beauty that rivaled man's lust for the goddess Agni Ignatia Agni. Esther noticed that some of the staff looked to be in a hurry with commotion buzzing around the castle but princess Esther paid little mind to the happenings of the kittle people. She was here to gauge the noble Zalto royals and if they were indeed loyal to her fathers empire or not.
"Guard! Run and tell your king, queen, princes or princess of our presence here, and be quick about it! It has been a long ride and I don't have much patience for waiting around like some nobody!" Afyer sending a Zalto castle guard to fetch on of his masters Esther would then turn to her sister and shine to he with the sweetest smile that totally contrasted against her harsh attitude just seconds ago. "I'm hoping it is Princess Athena or Queen Valeska who meets us out here. While I hear Prince Aldon is a handsome man like his father I feel a womanly touch to our situation would be nice. Don't you agree, Princess Elentiya?" Esther asks her little sister, using her royal title so they can keep proper appearances in front of the eyes of the public.
"Treat your oaths recklessly and your people will do the same."
The guards had fetched the Queen from her morning in the kitchen, indulging her sweet tooth while the chefs prepared pastries for the day. The queen might have had a little more than she was supposed to, yet sometimes one had to line in the moment didn't they? Setting the platter down after she had eaten her share, she wiped her lips gently before she headed out with the guard assisting her.
The guards assembled before the gates, the maids lined up with them to greet their guests as the Queen stepped out to meet them as well, bowing as the Queen passed by them. Surely enough, the Queen too liked a little glitz and glamour every now and then, which often showed by her she carried herself and made her presence known. "Announcing the arrival of Queen Valeska , High queen of Zalto." the guard announced as the small pale haired woman stepped forward. Passing the bright radiant smile that usually beamed through the castle, the queen welcomed their beautiful guests with a bow, straightening back up to glance bed the two. She had the pleasure of meeting the younger princess, although the elder didn't lack in beauty and grace either. "Good day to you princess', I'm glad that you've decided to grace us with your presence. I hope your journey wasn't too tiresome." she smiled.

Princess Esther Drosselmyer of Lionis
The castle's own flair would blare out the arrival of its queen and with it the gates of gold opened they reveal the sight of the Queen of Zalto as she walks past her many loyal maids and guards. Esther was impressed by the display of royalty but more so with the flow of gliding steps from the queen and the true kind smiles of her people. So far so good...
"The road to your kingdom was safe. Nothing but a single barbarian scare and then me complaining to our poor coachman for time to stretch my legs here and there." In respect to the silver haired queen, Esther bowed to as well with a slight curtsy before closing the distance between the royals. "But I am rather thirsty from the ride here. Would you happen to have a room where we ladies might share in some tea and conversation?" She wasn't trying to begin speaking of important matters just yet but more so wanted to feel out how the queen acts and feels before discussing anything of importance.
Though this may or may not be the same for her little sister Elentiya, who might what to talk of things as soon as possible, but her sister had yet to speak and Esther hoped that her sister was fine with her decision of flow of conversation.
Esther also hoped Elentiya was ready to voice herself as the forth princess of empire and as a proud member of the mighty house Drosselmyer.
"Treat your oaths recklessly and your people will do the same."
The Queen was quite impressed by the mannerism the princesses had, nodding lightly as the elder spoke about their journey. She had already ordered her servants to prepare the table for their guests so they could attend to their guests, which was a wise decision considering their guests asked to settle somewhere where they could chat and have some tea. "But ofcourse, i do hope you have a sweet tooth as our chefs today have made quite a lot of lovely little sweets." she chuckled, clearly excited to go back and indulge herself in them once again. "Although, the question is if our lovely guests would prefer to sit inside or outside?" she asked with a smile.
The queen's attention shifted to the younger, the blonde haired woman who she had met not too long ago. She wouldn't want to bring it up, guessing her sibling might have not been aware, yet again, she didn't think the woman was even aware that it was the queen talking to her back then.
When the carriage finally arrived at Zalto Elentiya was having a hard time just taking it all in, the gold, the large buildings, everyone seemed to be happy here and everyone seemed to be so orderly, she wondered if this was all because the King and Queen where such great rulers here.
However when the carriage stopped and Elentiya was forced to bring her eyes away from the beautiful buildings and the smiling people she watched as her big sister stepped from the carriage. Elentiya would take a deep breath and she quickly followed her. She would listen to them speak for a while before she came forward and coughed slightly "U-um" she started out, probably not the best way to make an introduction "I am Princess Elentiya" she said, her eyes darting to the ground, the guard had already said that, her face turned red with embarrassment "My Father-" she cut herself off as she looked over at Esther, they where ttrying to keep things proper "The Emperor has requested that I come to Zalto to serve as a Lady in Waiting to your highness and your daughter until I am requested back in Lionis" Elentiya said to her.
Elentiya would look up at the beautiful queen and she couldn't help but shutter a little as she nearly jumped at the mention of sweets "Inside would be Lovely" she said, clutching her hands together.

Princess Esther Drosselmyer of Lionis
Her sister's voice was as shaky as ever and nervously brave. Esther could recall when father practiced with them on speaking like a proper princesses but practices were one thing while actual acting them out was another. Esther was only so good at what she dose because she desperately pushed herself so hard, the guilt of what she had done to her twin brother Gareth propelling her to work hard, but her sister was of the gentler souls.
Elentiya looked to Esther which Esther only replied with a look saying "well, go on and continue" slightly stern but only because they had a reputation to live up to. While she did feel bad for being a little unsupportive at that moment there was something twisting her mind at the time. Esther has suffered through the civil war and grown up on the battlefield...and this led to her mind being distorted in a most evil way; Another half possessing her soul and corrupting the princess forever more.
"My, my. It seems my sister is quite excited for sweets and conversation, just as I am." Esther came to her sister's aid in charming the Queen of Zalto knowing her sister had the best intentions when she spoke so foolishly. She was new to this and it showed...but so too did that heart that they spoke of on the ride here. It was like Esther said to her dear little Elly, she may not be able to lie very well but her innocent heart always shines through...and hopefully Queen Ѵaleska would be able to see this as much as Esther could.
"If you'd be so kind as to lead the way to the delicious delights we'll surely follow." Esther added with a humble bow and smile to the queen as she tries following up with her sister's honest vibe.
"Treat your oaths recklessly and your people will do the same."
The queen couldn't help but chuckle a little at the younger one trying so hard to keep their conversation very informal and rehearsed, quite unlike the one they had back at the church. She didn't find it right for the younger to be serving her, yet she didn't want to comment on it right now, specially not with them since this matter could be discussed with the Emperor himself...if he chose to meet her after what had happened. Maybe he would consider meeting her husband and discuss the matter? Either way, that could be thought of later.
Chuckling yet again, she nodded in response as the younger sported her liking to sweets and the older tried to cover it up. It reminded her quite of the bond her own children had, it was very lovely to see. She nodded upon the elder's request for her to lead the way and she did. "Oh I'm sure you will be when you see what they made today, I only wished Athena would join us... I'm sure she would love to meet you two.." she said, leading them inside and to the dining hall, where their tea and sweets were being set up. [exito]
Ambrosia strolled around the small gardens near the castle front. Her hand on her stomach subconsciously protecting the child inside her. She had woken early in the morn due to morning sickness. Rascal followed behind her, surveying the area protectively, not straying more than five feet away from her. Her thoughts drifted to Kaiden and Sarah. She hadn't meant to overhear their conversation while she was in the bathroom cleaning up. Sarah had tried to call off their love. But that wouldn't do either of them any good. They'd both be hurting, their love torn apart. Loving each other from afar but never together...Just the thought hurt Ambrosia deeply, it was too similar to her own with Azazel. Her thumb began to caress the ring on her hand, a gift from her beloved. "Azazel...I miss you so much...I wish you were here." she spoke softly. Rascal whined and she looked down at him smiling softly as she wiped away the tear she hadn't realized escaped her. "Im alright Rascal. There's a lot going on. Besides it's probably just hormones..I read a book somewhere that women get more emotional in situations like this." she said rubbing her stomach. Rascal yipped happily and poked Ambrosia's stomach once with his nose before giving it a lick and rubbing his head against it, then returning to guard duty. Ambrosia laughed and sat down.
About few yards away, there lays a training grounds where the guards have formed around he arena while some talk among themselves to see who would win, either the second prince or Cearo. Mostly half of the guards bet on Cearo but the others bet on Kaiden, they have seen the prince in action. Kaiden stood in the middle of the arena as he lifted his fists up in a fighting stance.
Cearo just stood there as he took out his metal knuckles and slips them on then he said,"The only rule is don't use your dragon abilities..Let me see what you have learned.." Kaiden dug his heels into the ground then he thought,'I will prove to you..I will show everyone!!' he then runs at his instructor with full speed while Cearo sighs as he moves to the side to dodge but to his surprise, Kaiden did a quick turn and did a round house kick to Cearo's side which dazed him a bit as he stumbled back.
Kaiden just stood there he then took a defensive stance while Cearo runs at attacks, they kept on attacking and blocking each other attacks, they were evenly matched.

Emperor Azazel had rode all night and partially though the day in order to make it to Zalto. He didn't send prior word to his arrival, he didn't care to see the royals of the Kingdom, He only wanted to see his mistress. His advisor had read the letter that was reserved a month ago and he couldn't wait to see Ambrosia, if he was going to have a son, another son!
Emperor Azazel's horse thudded across the bridge to the castle and he saw Ambosia from across the bridge. Flicking his reigns he would stop the horse mere feet from Ambrosia before jumping off of his horse and scooping up the small woman into one arm and kissing her, one hand on the back of her head as he twirled her in the air. He wouldn't set her down however as he put her on his horse and looked up at her "Is it true" he whispered as he looked at Ambrosia's belly, one of his large hands moving their to put it against her stomach "Truly?" he asked her.
Distracted by the sound of rowdy men Ambrosia looked over to the left to the training grounds wondering what was going on. Standing up as she was about to head over to check it out Rascal let out a warning bark spooking her. "Rascal that's not nice." she said rubbing her ever so slightly swollen belly. It was then that she heard the thundering of hooves. Turning slowly she saw Azazel. Her Azazel on horseback come flying over the bridge and straight to her. Completely disregarding the guards at the gate that stood there stunned at his entrance. The guards who had been nonchalantly watching over her from a far turned their backs to them now that the Emperor hopped off his horse and scooped her up in his arms. "Azazel?" she managed to get out before letting out a startled squeak at being suddenly picked up and kissed. Her cheeks turned a bright red at the whole of the greeting. It was like something from a fairytale. She kissed him back small tears of joy escaping her, Azazel, her Azazel he was here. Her wish had been answered.
As he set her down on his horse she wished to pout for being out of his arms. How she had missed the feeling of being in his arms. But when she looked at him she couldn't help but smile. He seemed so genuinely excited about the possibility of a child. About their child. He spoke and reached to place his hand on her stomach. Instinctively her hand twitched in need to protect the baby from the possibility of danger but he was the child's father so no danger was present. She relaxed her hand and smiled down at him. Tears started to fall down her cheeks slowly, her fears for his reaction over the baby were gone, replaced with joy, pure joy. She nodded, sniffling she spoke softly. "Yes." She placed her hand gently on top of his against her stomach. "Yes, my love I am with child."
