Selene smiled as she heard William speak about his master. "It sounds like you were trained by a truly wise man," she happily said. With a slight sigh she then added, "The way you speak of him makes me think of my old teacher."
The maid looked at the prince and said, "While that does ease my worry a tad, I still am not sure as to the boy." With a sigh she then said, "I am sorry but after what has been done it is not fair to expect us not to trust him."

The mercenary Leon walked through foliage, his dark blue eyes were only just visible over the tall grass. He moved stealthily, his broad shoulders contracting and relaxing as he decided to take a few steps forward to peer over at the castle.
"Never seen something like this. It's best if I keep out." Leon decided, mumbling to himself. Sighing, he leaned against a tree and slumped over, loading and unloading his gun to pass time. Maybe when he felt more confident with himself, he'd go in. But right now--he wasn't at his highest. He'd just failed a mission--ended up getting an asset killed. An innocent helper.
The bounty on him was high; and he'd gone into hiding, lest someone else hired him for a mission.

"It's understandable but rest assure that the king and queen know what they are doing." Rye answered.

Leon finally got up, his legs shaky. He shook out his brown hair and sniffled, then began ascending through the tall fronds of grass. As he was nearing the castle, he took notice of its shape and deduced the possibly entry routes.
Leon had no plan to kill or accomplish any missions, he was just looking for a place to hide from his angered former employer. After all, an asset had been lost and his name was written all over it. Beads of perspiration dripped from his forehead, streaking his face. Dried blood from the scar on his wrist he'd gotten on the way to the castle slowly chipped off from his skin in burning intervals.
"Almost there." He grumbled, making sure to move under the cover of the tall foliage. Perhaps there was a secret entryway--or one that was less barricaded? Or maybe he'd just have to sweet-talk some of the guards into letting him stay at the castle. Either way, it'd be an arduous task that would require at least two days of planning and slow execution.

"Halt!" A voice called out before stepping out with two other knights. The other two quickly surround the stranger ready to attack in case he tried anything.

The maid gave a nod as she said, “I believe I will trust you for now your highness, now I hope you have a good day.” With a bow the maid, and every other member of the staff who were still around left. This left the prince able to take Valex to their parents if he wished.

Rye turns to look at Valex. "There you have it. Now shall we get going?" He questioned. Rye hoped that Valex would eventually stand up to the other castle staff.

Leon stopped dead in his tracks, a soft smile spreading across his lips.
"Hello there. I was wondering... if you had anything to.. patch me up?" He chuckled softly as he gripped his wounded shoulder.
"I understand this place is highly regulated--top-secret. But, um... you see.." Leon winced in an act of painful desperation as his shoulder wound bled. It did hurt, but not to the extent that he was showing.
"You must be quite busy, I understand. There's no need to take care of a poor young man like I. You must have--higher-class patients to tend to, right? Like... princes and princesses." Leon said in a casual, sweet and nonchalant tone.

The men gave each other a glance before the one who spoke before takes a step towards him. "First, what were you doing on castle grounds?" He questioned.

Leon sighed and shook his head. "I had been wounded so I wandered into the premises. If... that bothers you, I guess I'll leave." He pressed his wound in order to make it bleed.
"I just need a patch-up. Any medicinal herbs should do the trick too. I'd just like a little bit of rest, that's all." Leon spoke softly, gently, like a feather. He let go of his wound, his hands covered in blood.
"It's a deep gash, as you can see." He fluttered his dark blue eyes. He thought to himself: Very cute.

Selene thought for a moment as she wondered how to best describe her teacher. "Well, he taught me and my best friend the majority of what we knew. He was very calm and always emphasize the basics until they were truly mastered, for in his words they are the foundation of all other spells." With a sigh she started to wonder how his teacher was doing.
Valex watched as all the staff went away and just looked at Rye. After a moment he got off his bed and walked over to the older prince. When he reached him he asked, "Are you sure that you are okay with this, being seen with me that is?"

Jay continued to walk towards the throne room with Luna. "Yes that was the idea before all thos craziness. However I think the idea was to hold it in a few months, when Scover and Valex are home from the Academy again for a longer time." He responded. He looked around as everyone seemed to be doing their jobs and trying not to appear disheveled after everything that had happened the past few days.
Diantha just watched the two interact and she smiled. "Have fun you two!" She said cheerily, encouraging her husband to spend some time with Valex.
Revelation listened intently to Helix and when he heard the people within the Lord's territory didn't like him, the fairy's eyes widened in shock and alarm. He slowly looked to his wife, tipping his head. "Lulu. What god is wrapped around your finger so tightly they actually do THAT for you?" He said, gesturing and indicating what Helix just said.

Lulu busted listened as Helix spoke of finding a person that fit the exact criteria as she had just asked for. With a shrug she said, “Well I guess that goddess that weird cult that abducted me while I was pregnant with Sprig. Aside from that I have no idea love.”

Revelation shrugged as well, before turning back to Helix. "Well my friend, on with it. How do we go about meeting these people? Or do you already have a plan crafted up in that head of yours?" The fairy asked, eyes now glimmering with the smallest bit of hope.

"Mmm good idea." Luna said. That would give them enough time to properly plan for it. She hoped this affair with the duke wouldn't take to long. Pretty soon they reached the throne room where a few people were milling about before seeing the royals and bowing.
"Why wouldn't I be? You are my brother now." Rye gives him a wink before walking down the hallway. "Technically, I don't live here anymore so I don't really care what the castle staff thinks of me."

Helix smirked as he said, "Well my dear King you will be pleased to know that he is already on his way here with a small entourage. They would have been here sooner but due to the march of the lords forces they were forced to take a longer path to stay hidden." With a slight bow he said, "You may thank me now."
"It still seems strange though, despite my newfound inclusion to this family your kindness is still so strange to me." Valex said as he followed his "older brother". As he walked with him he nervously asked, "Why did you and your wife help me?" This question was one that really plagued his mind since the whole ordeal and he just needed to know.

Jay looked around as everyone bowed and he nodded to them. "Hello everyone." He responded before walking with Luna up to their thrones and sitting down with her. "Alright let's get started." He said.
Revelation rolled his eyes lightly. "You could've said that to begin with." He retorted lightheartedly. "But I do thank you Helix. You did a fantastic job."

With a slight chuckle Selene nudged the knight while said, "Well back then I was far from the strongest mage in the kingdom." With a sigh she looked away and said, "There are still days even now that I wish I could ask for his advice when it comes to aspects of my life."
Helix smirked as he slightly nudged his friend while saying, "I could have, but I didn't." Moving away from Rev he said, "Now, do you two want me to do something about that elf guy, I can make it look like an accident?"

Revelation chuffed and shook his head lightly. "While I'm sure you could, I have no doubt that old elf would be sure to have something in place to make sure blame got pinned on this kingdom. If not Jay and Luna themselves. Unfortunately, unless he tried something a lot more public, it's probably best to just leave him be." He responded.

The knights give each other a look before they sheath their swords. "Come with us and don't try anything!" The main knight leads the way to the castle while the other two walk behind the stranger.

Luna sits down on her throne and rolls her shoulders back. Right now, she needed to be the queen. One of the nobles stepped forward voicing his concerns about what they planned to do about the Duke and if a draft would be set in place. Luna took this time to speak up. "There will be no draft! Our knights will handle the Duke and whatever he throws at us."
"Why shouldn't I help you? You are family now." Rye answered giving him a grin. "We help each other no matter what."

Jay listened as the noble voiced their concerns and Luna responded. Jay nodded in agreement with her statement. "As Queen Luna described, we will face any threats with greater ferocity than ever before. We are working on countermeasures for what happened, as well as our preparedness for any similar event that could come our way in the future. " The king said.

Leon smiled charmingly and followed the guards, faking a limp from his upper abdominal gash.
"This castle is rather spacious, don't ya think? It's pretty." He admired the workings of the castle, the ornate designs. Leon sighed and kept walking in-step with the knights in front of him.
Pressing his hand to the gash, he gave a soft smirk. "So, where'll you folks be taking me?" His tone was rather smooth and calm--there seemed to be no ulterior motive or bad intention to his voice. He was a great pretender. He just wanted access to the castle--it's layouts, for maybe he could find some safety there.

The knights remained quiet as they accompanied him. Once inside, they lead him to a small medical room and motion for him to go inside. "Wait in here."
"That is good to hear." The man says bowing his head. He leaves to allow the next person to step in. (Mmm any other concerns that Jay and Luna might be interested in?)

Helix shrugged as he started to float in the air slightly and said, "Alright then, so what do you think I should do now then? You know it is not a good idea to leave me with to much free time on my hand."
Valex looked at Rye with a raised eyebrow and said, "Prior to that moment you and I had never even meet one another. So how did you know that we had become family." With a slightly angry groan he said, "I fear that I may never fully understand this family I have found myself entwined with."
