Ladekahn finished up his meal, with all the servants pampering him he was getting annoyed. They picked up his plate and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. He sat up, pushed his chair back and thanked the servants as they bowed their heads. Why..? He asked himself, Do they enjoy serving us? He shook his head as he walked along the corridors to his room. He wanted to sneak back out again. He usually locked his room after breakfast and came back after an hour. He would then stay a couple of hours inside the castle before going out again after supper. He would then stay around town till late, by that time he would be at the hills. Watching the stars above him till he fell asleep. He quickly paced back to his room, locked the door and sat on his bed reading once more. His white hair flung over his eyes as the wind blew in from his window, before long he grew bored of reading and set the book down placing it on top of his pillow. He quickly flung himself under his bed and opened up the hatch door and climbed down the ladder, he found his outside clothes crumpled up on the floor. He sighed.. he forgot to put them to wash. He looked around for a rag and a bucket, he filled it with hot water and soap to hand wash his clothes. once he finished he hung them on a line that stretched from one wall to the other to dry and quickly climbed back up the ladder. He had no clothes to wear, the rest were his royal clothes. He couldnt go outside with them. He sighed and once again plopped back on his bed, his tail swishing slowly back and forth.

Noemi made lefts and rights at every corner she turned until finally she head reached the wall that kept her sealed from the outside and began to stare, falling into a lovely daze.

That's right, because she was the youngest and the only girl, she was most precious to her family and so by no means could she ever wander about alone beyond the castle. It took 3 guards and one maid to watch her in place of her three brothers if they were not accessible. When she was younger she paid no mind to it and naively believed she could play with the other children as equals. When she got bruises, the guards flooded her with care, in which her friends merely stared off, keeping their envy to themselves because their mothers told them to treat Noemi nicely. She was royalty after all. Noemi blissfully unaware that when they bruised, they merely cried it off coming home soiled and bloodied while extra care was taken that she looked as fresh coming home as she did leaving. She had always been differant, but at the time she did not realize this. However, staring at this ominous wall that surrounded her entirity and created a world of her own as she grew up, the distance between her childhood mates became massive and slowly she realized through out her life exactly how much different she was from the rest.

There was very little Noemi was able to do about her fate, and so that is why she sought to work hard to become the perfect queen in the future with high hopes that maybe she could shorten the distance. By being Queen she's bestowed the power to influence others right? By being Queen, she'd be capable of helping gushing her people with care when they fell as well. It was the least she could do for her friends that had been so kind, allowing her to play with them within the ignorant imagination that they were all the same.

To this very thought in whic Noemi grew so lost in, she tilted her head slightly and smiled quietly at her slated cell, home.

(( It would take a long time but I guess we could go with like shortcuts, like though a bit of forest ))
Ladekahn opened up his novel, reading each page at a steady pace. He was reading in his room as he waited for his clothes to dry so he could escape this prison when a knock sounded at the door. He shut the book and leaned forward telling whoever it was to come in, the doors opened and a messenger appeared before him "Prince Ladekahn there is a message from the Kingdom of Kindra".
Ladekahn raised an eyebrow, he was interested "Go on."
The messenger nodded "They wish an audience with your father but he is not present, you must go in his stead."
Disappointment wrapped around Ladekahns gut, he thought it was for him but that would be somewhat strange on their part. If he had gone he would need to have packed some clothes, Kindra was a little father than the rest of the kingdoms and a days rest would be necessary before setting out "When do I leave?" He asked setting the novel down.
"Tomorrow at noon" The messenger replied as he left the room, leaving Ladekahn to ready himself for the next sun and with that in mind he let out a long sigh.
He sighed, immediately heading to his dresser and packing a change of clothes and picking out an outfit for him to wear now.

Noemi wiped her brow and leaned back to look at her handy work so far. She was planting a few roses in hopes that they would grow and spread its beauty along that wretched wall of her home. She patted the dirt around her one rose with her gloved hands. Her father had given it to her as a present after one of her violin performances for her family in their largest salon. It was that moment that gave her the lovely idea of growing a wall of pretty red roses on the borders of her garden. She grinned and her tail wagged a bit feeling accomplished thus far. A servant came out with a tray of lemonade and cookies, offering them to Noemi. "Thank you," she responded delighted by the cool and sweet refreshments, perfect for such a day and after such nice work. "My lady, may i suggest coming inside for a wash? It is very humid outside and you've dirtied your gown," inquired the servant. Noemi looked down at her hands and her dress that was indeed soiled. "mm.. i suppose.." she responded thoughfully. "Very good, we have guests arriving from Balindor, it would do well for you to clean up," Noemi took a final sip of her lemonade, savoring its sweetness before swallowing with a satisfied sigh "ok," and with that Noemi placed the glass back on the tray and gathered all her tools and packets of seeds into her pail. She stood and swept of the dirt and loose grass off of her lap before following her maid back into the servant's quarter's kitchen.

Raven sighed finishing up with what she had finished washing the clothes and shook her head, "i hate this, its so boring." she mumbled then walked out of the washing room with the load of clothes she just folded in a basket. She flicked her tail and started walking towards the rooms of the people whose clothes she had folded and put it away. "last one then i'm done for now." she thought with a sigh when she got to Ladekahn's room. She stoped for a second when she realized he was in his room and bowed, "i'm sorry i didnt realize you were in here sir, i'll just be a moment." she mumbled then put his clothes were it belonged and bowed again before leaving, closing the door behind her.

Ladekahn was a bit annoyed at this sudden summon, he hadnt prepared but it was a well fact that he didnt have much need of packing many things. There was a gift though to be presented to the Flamae kingdom, a large one at that. Many of Balindors finest stallions or second finest since the kingdom kept whats best for itself, he sighed as he lifted a chest to place his luggage in. He was about to leave when a maid came into his room, she seemed to be on cleaning duty. She left in a hurry and so did he, walking down the long corridor dragging the chest behind him which was immediately taken by a couple of male servants. He was going to take it himself but there was no use in telling them they never listened. A carriage was waiting outside, surrounded by guards numbering close to twenty. The closest to the carriage door opened it and stepped aside for Ladekahn to step inside, as the door shut the carriage was on the move followed by the many stallions that were to be given away as a gift.
This was bothersome, they drew growing attention as they exited the kingdom now traveling on a field that stretched for miles and miles to come. It was going to be a long ride and Ladekahn wouldnt be able to bear much, the only entertainment he had was his book and the scenery which would grow to be boring in a couple of hours. To take his fathers place in a meeting was a very important decision and Ladekahn was chosen mostly due to his skill in situations such as these, due to this he was offered many brides but declined them all for personal reasons. He didnt fancy arranged marriages, he would like to choose his own wife without anyone offering. There was nothing to do so out came the book and the reading began.

The bath felt cool against Noemi's flushed skin. It was exactly what she needed and for that she was grateful. Sitting in the empty room with nothing but white tiles for company, Noemi was starting to feel a little lonely. She missed her brothers and her mother and have yet to see them at all today. Her head fell to the side as she fell into a daze thinking of them and trying to console herself that surely they were most likely very busy helping others to spare much time for her. That it was better that then doing something else. She rubbed her eye and decided it was time to get out and wrapped herself in a towel.

Noemi scurried to the large white double doors and knocked to signify she was finished. That knock was all it took for four maids to gush inside and lead her by the hands into the dressing room, engulfed by pink carpeting and pink striped wall paper. Cushy sofas of the same costume as the walls perched themselves in the middle and against the wall a full sized vanity mirror framed with swirled carvings that actually entranced Noemi to look at. in fact the mirror was probably her favorite thing about this room because of the beautiful framing.

She was slipped into a peach colored dress that looked simple and cool for the summer. Her short hair was brushed and extensions were insisted on as they made her look more lady like. Noemi refused, as always. She did not like long hair because they made her look differant and not herself. Her brother had once told her 'being royal, you can get caught up in it and lose yourself, don't ever lose yourself Noemi' and 'herself' was the one thing and the first thing that she would always protect.

Raven let out a low sigh as she wandered around. "i wonder were he had to go." she thought thinking about the short encounter with the prince not too long ago. "well might as well clean up the rooms while everyones out." she mumbled then started going from room to room doing what needed to be done in the rooms picking up laundry, fixing beds, and anything else that needed to be done to make the rooms presentaable to the roayal family.

Xaia walked along the inside of the hall of the castle. He then walked away to the balcony and looked at kindra. He then sighed because his father always told him 'This will be yours one day' he hated that. He never denied that he wasn't becoming king, its he just wants to have fun and explore the kingdoms. He then left the balcony and looked for his little sister, maybe she wanted to play a game, he loved to play games with her.

The carriage hadnt stopped for hours now and Ladekahn was beginning to lose control with his bowels, he instructed one of the guards to stop the carriage so he could do the most embarrassing. He left the carriage and walked to a patch of forest nearby, took care of business and headed back. As soon as that door shut they were moving once again, his book grew boring and he lost interest in it for the time being. His attention now focused on the scenery, the valley he saw was carved with many hills. Miles of forest was seen way off into the distance and the faint glow of red indicated that there was a giant field of roses, the site was beautiful and it took time off of the young prince's mind.
The next thing Ladekahn knew was the wonderful news that they had arrived at the Kingdom, he had fallen asleep after being set into a trance by the beauty he had seen. He was glad to finally be here but dreaded the thought of having to travel all the way back, it wasnt long before they reached the castle but while they strolled through the streets of the Kingdom of Flamae Ladekahn could feel excitement sting in his bones. The last he had been here was when he was young, it was ten winters ago since he had set his eyes upon this place. His ears perked up as the guards conversed with the other guards of this kingdom and without a minute's pass he was let out of the carriage and led into the castle.

Noemi was lead down the hall. Her maid suggested practicing the violin for a few songs. Noemi wasn't quite in the mood, in fact she still wanted to go outside or look for her brothers but so far both seemed a loss cause. Leaving violin as the next 'alright' option. Walking through the corridors she noted a lot of hustling amongst the servants and became curious. She distracted herself by paying attention to the outside as she walked. It was then she saw a few more then the usual guards flooding to the gates and greeting a red carriage. "Moma... are we expecting guests today?" Noemi asked stopping to watch the events outside. She wasn't at all aware of any one coming this afternoon. "Yes my Lady, Balindor's Prince has come to pay respects to your father today," explained the maid in turn. Noemi's ear twitched and she leaned out the window feeling very interested.

She wondered if this was why she had yet to see any of her family today, as they were all preparing for this visit. Noemi also curiously played with the thought that by making her play the violin was her mother's way of trying to attract the prince and seduce him into negotiations about marriage. Noemi shook her head and blushed slightly, embarrassed to have jumped to that conclusion so suddenly. Perhaps she was wrong. A small piece of her hoped so.

Although it was true she was in a bit of a rush to become queen and start making differences, the thought of being tricked like this did not appeal to her one bit. The carriage door opened as Noemi began to walk away, being beckoned to continue on to the music room.

Xaia looked around for his little sister when his dad pulled him away" Yaaaaaaa" he yelled in terror "I am sorry son, but you have to practice your duties instead of goofing of". Xaia smiled "Ya but goofing of is way more fun" his father replayed "You will come and you will like it" Xaia frowned "UGGGGgGgh" He hated attending to his duties.

At the throne room he was supposed to meet some other prince he didnt want to meet. He sighed and sat on his throne and started messing with his tail

One entered into her music room, Noemi approached her maple colored violin, readied, tuned, and polished on the stand in the corner. She opened the window beside it and leaned out inhaling deeply and looking up at the clouds that moved at tortus pace as large white islands. "Madame?" was what brought her attention back, in which she ducked her head back inside and curtsied slightly, as if putting on a show. In a way, wasn't she?

She picked up her violin and bow and played the low G. Holding it out for as long as she could. IF she could pick one note, the low G was her favorite. It was the lowest on a standardly tuned violin. It was as warm and fulfilling as the air she had just inhaled. It truely calmed her nerves, especially knowing that the Balindor Prince was present somewhere in her castle.

Ladekahn was led straight to where he would be staying, he didnt see any of the royals on his way in or anyone that greeted him in that manner. He didnt find it rude since this was not his kingdom to demand, Balindor also treated their guest in the same way. Since the assassin incidents trust between the Kingdoms were fading and there was nothing that could be done at the time, the thought made Ladekahn sigh lightly.
Finally he reached the room and a servant walked him in, telling him the meeting will be held in about an hour as he left. There was a bed, a chair.. well basically everything he had in his room. He didnt think he was going to be staying but he guessed the King of Flamae would insist him staying the night before departing in the morning. It looked as if the guards thought the same as well.
There were three of Balindors guards standing the front of the door and they were conversing about the beautiful violin noise they had heard, Ladekahn seemed to have missed it on his way in since his ears were stuffed with boots echoing in the halls as his guards walked him in.
