Grand Hall

[Kiera]

As its name suggests a very large and grand hall used by court members to socialise and hold court meetings. Decorated in silk and golds. This room is pure luxury. Chairs and tables surround the room and a raised Dias with two ornate thrones graces the top of the room. This is where the ruler and his/her 'chosen' sits. More chairs are placed along the front of the dias where the royal guard will sit.

[Kiera]

Kiera passed through the doors to the grand hall after leaving Mirali outside to be taken care of by the stable hands. Sighing she pause in the empty room before crossing to the dias that held her single throne the other had been removed when it was clear she had no intentions of chosing a mate for a while at least. Sitting she sighed again her head resting on one hand she thought of Tia and her children a thought thta ultimately brought into her mind Byran and then Tullaris

[Chandira]

Chandira was not far behind her. She closed the big doors. It was about time the Queen had some quiet alone time.
The large sword attatched to her back, strapped on with fine leathers she moved closer to where the Queen was.

"You know, my lady. You shouldn't burden yourself so much. Maybe you should take a break, with the elves." She insisted.

[Kiesha]

Kiesha orbed down and looked around

"Wow that was awesome!" she looked around and noticed Kiera sitting there

"errr... sorry about that Kiera, I was trying to see if I could find my mother or father, I wasn't meant to end up here! How's it going" Kiesha sat herself down without being asked to do so, and completely forgot her manner in terms of addressing a member of the royal family

[Kiera]

Kiera smiled at Chandira and shook her head lifting it from her hand

"I wish it were that simple Chandira, even to take time off with the Elves it just means I would have it all to come back to when I return and probably another hundred dramas to boot!" She turne dher head startled slightly by the sudden intrusion of Tias daughter, she smiled however she was not some much a stickler for formality as Tia was.

"Kiesha!" she smiled brightly pleased to see her friends daughter.

"I last saw your parents at the waterfall pond"

[Chandira]

Chandira sighed when Kiesha poped in. But a sneaky smile appeared, she liked Kiesha's energy. She was a fun and happy child, and mischievious at the best of times, Chandira thought that funny.

Her black boots squeaked as she twisted and turned in them.

"At the waterfall? Without me?" She said with a disapproving tut. She knew the Queen liked her space, but she was paid to protect her, and she couldn't protect what she couldn't find. Everyone was worried just incase another war came, or a threat against Kiera was made, from the family in the Citadel. It had been a long time since they had all heard from them.

[Kiesha]

"Ahh the waterfall, that's jolly good then! Mean's they won't be heading this way! That buys me a good few hours!" She smiled

"So what you upto these days? What with there being no war and all, must be bored stiff! Not seen you in a while and seen as there is no war you can't have that much to do! Where have you been"
Kiesha smiled at the other woman in the room "Hey there skipper, pull up a pew, why stand when there are perfectly good seats? That's just crazy" Kiesha smiled "My names Kiesha by the way"

[Kiera]

Kiera smiled at Chandira and nodded

"Yes Chandira without you I went for a ride to clear my head! Believe it or not I am a big girl!" she smiled again then turned her attention to kiesha

"You 'd be surprised how much there is to do even in peace time!" she smiled her eyes sparkling mischeviously

"opeaking of which how are your lessons coming along? I assume you are still having them even now?" she knew from experience a princess's learning was never done and also how much Kiesha hated the lessons she had been forced to attend by Tia sinbce a young age.

[Chandira]

Chandira nodded to the Queen, she had not meant to be disrespectful at all.
"With all due respect, Your Majesty. I did not mean any offence by that, I was mearly suggesting you at least tell me where you are going..." Then she smiled at the Queen. "Just for my own peace of mind." All Chandira wanted was the Queen to be safe.

Chandira winked at Kiesha. "Yes, I know who you are. I have seen you back and forth a few times. You are growing, little Princess."

[Kiesha]

Kiesha rolled her eyes

"Godess I feel like killing myself or rather my mother for making me take those bloody stupid lessons!! I'm currently meant to be in Queen's classes now, couldn't give a damn tho, that's why I was looking for mum and dad, to see if I could skip out of them... again! Ovbiously mum would say no, that's her favourite word, but dad would well of said yes, and one yes is all I need and I am outta there!!"
She rolled her eyes once more

"Seriously who needs to know how to run a country? What to do should such n such a-body attack, or this and that law or the acience laws of the land?! You just get on with it, go with the flow, kick some ass where needs be and have fun the rest of the time! The last thing I want to be doing is walking up and down stair-cases with a book on my head reciting laws from millions of years ago!! Seriously I think there must be only 2 people in the whole world who know such laws, my tutor and my mother!" She laughed "God she is boring!"

Kiesha looked at Chandira "You need to relax, we are at peace Kiera is fine, and if not she can kick some ass" Kiesha smiled "Like you did all them years ago, or at least so thee stories say!"

[Kiera]

Kiera nodded at Chandira and smiled

"I know and there was no offence taken in future I shall try to remember to tell you where I am going!" She looked up at Kiesha and smiled sadly

"Perhaps if I had listened to my lessons all those years ago I wouldnt be paying fo rmy mistakes now! I know its a pain Kiesha but your mother is right those lessons are important, I have made many good descisions in my time as Queen here but also some very bad ones which have lead to both myslef and your mother losing alot of people we loved!"

[Chandira]

Chandira bowed her head to her Queen. "That is all I ask of you, Ma'am."

Chandira walked closer to Kiesha. Her heavy boots knocking its heels on the beautiful floor of the Grand Hall.

"And what about you, little Princess? What would you do? If you were Queen on Timlari? Play? Run around?" She gave her a sneaky wink. She liked Kiesha, but she did need to take more time in her studies. "How would you cope as Queen and govern your lands if all you want to do is play? Would you leave it all up to your council?"

[Kiesha]

Kiesha nodded at Kiera

"I know you guys lost alot and all that but I still don't see how sitting in a classroom can help me make good desisions..." she twisted her face a little bit fearing she had said to much disrespectfully "Didn't mean to offend you"

She smiled at Chandira "Hell no I wouldn't leave it to them, they are almost dead they are that old! And I think my mum would come back to haugnt me if I did that! No I'd wake up, sort out the days tasks then go off and have adventures!" she smiled seeming rather happy with her answer

[Kiera]

Kiera smiled at Chandira before looking at kiesha

"There is no offence taken Kiesha" she said kindly before shaking her head and smiled at the young princess she could remember being exactly the same at that age and while it is easy for a person to say that lessons are important getting them to believe it is entirely different.

"What is the news of your brother I have not seen him for so long he must be getting a hefty boy by now!"

[Chandira]

Chandira laughed at the coment about the council. "I am sure your mother and father think the same way you do." She said with an approving smile.

She took her place back standing arms length away from the throne where the Queen of Chepi sat. She folded her arms lightly, the big blade strapped onto her back felt heavy today, but she had worn it for so long she became used to it.
