Aurora seemed a little nervous though. She took a step towards him for a moment and then looked around to see if anyone was watching. She hoped that they would not say anything to the Princess, but she didn't want to be rude to their guest either. So she took hold of him hand for a moment, he helped her atop the steed and she was a little surprised to see that he was so tall. "Thank you for your offer." She said politly. "The throne room is just behind those main doors."

The Knight mounted on infront of her and nodded at her words "You are welcome m'lady" he said then kicked Blade into a canter down the long path towards the main doors where he dimounted and helped the girl down "May I ask your name m'lady?" asked as she came down. A stable boy took his horse away to the stables and the Knight murmered after him "Take good care of him" and pressed a gold coin into his hand. The boy ran off gleefully, looking down at the money, and taking the horse away with extra care.

Aurora held onto him lightly as they had broke into a canter to the main gates, her hair was now flowing behind her as was her gown slightly. They reached the gates and he helped her down, yet he asked her name. For what purpose, she didn't know, but she gave it to him. "I am Aurora My Lord.." She said politly.

The Knight smiled and replied "A pleasure my lady. I am Sir Drake" he lead her to the great doors infront of them and pushed them open into a great court room where the Queen sat in a throne at the end of the room. He walked briskly thrpugh the great room, catching people's attention as he knelt before the Queen and presented the scroll to her saying "My Lady, I have an urgent message from Prince Ademar. He wishes for an immediate reply"

The queen stopped speaking as someone seemed to walk into the room and he knelt before her. Nodding her head, she took hold of the letter and read it. With a smile she looked to Aurora, her most trusted handmaiden and asked her to step forward. Aurora did as she was asked and curtsied. "Yes My lady?"
"Take Sir Drake to a wonderful guest room, he's a long week ahead of him" Her gaze returned to Sir Drakes. "Aurora will see to your needs, should you need anything, please let her know, she is my most trusted handmaiden, she will serve you well."
Aurora looked to Sir Drake and nodded, but the Queen spoke once more. "Your instructions will be given to you in the morning when you've rested well."
Aurora spoke up now as the Queen finished. "Please My Lord...your chambers await you." She turned as her long gown od gold and tan lightly touched the floor, yet hugging her every curve and showing slight cleavage, but to a modest point. Aurora said nothing on the way there, she merely led him down the royal looking hallway with all the tapestries and statues she opened the door to a huge room and let him walk inside. "here you are my Lord....I hope the room is to your liking." She spoke with a soft smile.

Sir Drake looked up as the Queen spoke and stood. He bowed curtly (sp?) and said "Very well, my Lady" and followed Aurora out of the hall and to his quaters. "Thank you Lady Aurora. I appreciate your assistance on my entrance." he took her hand and kissed it and smiled. He stepped behind the door and said "Would you be so kind as to prepare a bath for me?" he inquired.

Aurora nodded politly and stepped inside Sir Drake's chambers. Her gown following her every move as she made it to the small both house in the room. Somehwhat quietly she prepared him a most comfortable bath, drawing the water and making it just the right temperature for him to bare. As the water filled, Aurora placed the most soothing oils into the water, the soft smelling aromas filling the air. Once she finished, her delicate form came to the door. "Your bath is ready My Lord.....is there anything else you wish from me?" She had this innocent tone of voice, it was soft and sweet and yet she did work with a smile on her lips.

Sir Drake inclined his head and said "Many thanks my Lady. No, no I am fine. Thankyou for your, and the Queen's hospitality" he smiled, his blue eyes twinkling in the light of the candles.

Aurora gave her sweet warm smile and nodded her head with a slight curtsie. "As you wish it my Lord, I shall see to you in the morning." She dismissed herself and walked out into the long hallway and made her way down the stone coridors. The night was quiet, a little two quiet, but the breeze was wonderful as she passed the open archways to the outdoors. She would be at her quarters soon.

Ademar smiled to himself as he thought over this possible answer to his problems. He had sent that lone knight to his very close friend, Princess Faith. She would see if this man was truly worthy of the problem that faced both of their kingdoms. The darkest of Mages, a Necromancer by the name of Anak, has shown himself in the far eastern reaches of Ademar's Kingdom. He has shown his intents and purposes, and they are nothing more than complete death and destruction of the kingdom, and everything else in his path.
Ademar needed a strong, true knight to lead his and Faith's men into battle against the knight. At times Ademar felt it was hopeless, but he could not allow himself to feel such things, he needed to be strong, so that he could protect his kingdom, and that of the Princess Faith, whom he had his eyes on for a long time. She was most beautiful and most wise, with only herself and no man to help her run her kingdom, just as he had no woman to help him, his mind at times wandered helplessly to the thoughts of love and romance.
Ademar felt he must protect her and her kingdom, for he already felt deeply for her, tho nothing of his feelings had ever escaped his lips. he prayed this night as he lay in his bed, for her safety, and for that of his kingdom. Praying desperately that this Necromancer would find no home in his land, and that this would not result in a most terrible war.

Sir Drake woke early. The weak morning sunlight dripped through the window and he sat up, not a trace of drowsyness on his face as he stood and began to change into a linen shirt and a pair of woolen trousers. To complete the image, he pulled his jacket emblazoned with his coat of arms over his shoulders. He thought about the day ahead as he shaved infront of the mirror; he wondered what sort of task the Queen and the Prince had set him. Once he was ready, he sat back down on a chair by the window and stared out of it at the glorious view it provided and waited patiently for someone to come with his instructions which the Queen had promised him yesterday.

Aurora had made it to her chambers late that night and so rested as much as she possibly could. She of course, being a servant girl she was up early and already working. Her attire was fair, she dressed as royalty almost, second in command even, but she was not. The Princess she already had dressed and Aurora was now taking a tray with a wonderful breakfast and a letter frm the queen herself to the newfound knight. Her steps were light and careful down the stone hallways as she made her way to the door. Only a few moments passed when a light knock would come to the door of the visiting knight. His voice echoed out firmly for her to enter and she did. She went inside and smiled warmly to him. "Good morning My Lord, I hope you found your rest this past night." She spoke softly for a moment as she saw him sitting near the window. She began to make his bed as she spoke to him. "I've brought you something to eat, I hope you enjoy it as well. My lady sends you word in a letter on the tray" Aurora finished soon enough, the grand bed now well made. Se set out his cloak on the bed now from the wardrobe.

Sir Drake looked around as she entered and greeted her "Good morning my Lady. It is indeed a wonderful morning and a wonderful breakfast you have brought me" he smiled as he took the tray gently from her. Then he asked her "My Lady, would you be so good as to read the letter to me? My eyes are still blurred from sleep" he asked politely. He handed the letter to Aurora and then proceeded to take his tray to the little table in the corner of the room by the window so he could eat there.

Aurora nodded politily. "Yes, as you wish it My Lord.." She took the letter from him lightly and she opened the delicate wax seal that held it closed. She opened the three folds and glanced over it at first. She was quiet impressed as she glanced at it though and she read with the calmest yet congradulating smiles.
To Whom it May Concern: Congradulations travelor. Lord Ademar has instructed me to place you as the replacement Captain of the Guard of my kingdom until the original should return. Should you complete this task with no problems and keep this castle in order until then, you will be rewarded greatly by him and by me as well. I hope that you will accept this as your challenge. Send word to me through my maiden in waiting should you not wish to write a letter. I wish you well in whatever you choose. Sincerely yours, Princess Faith.
Aurora closed the three fold once more and placed it back in it's respected envelope. "It seems you've a great honor on yourself My Lord. This job is not one for just random strangers." She smiled of course.It was not bad at all. This was a great honor and she in all honesty thought that he should accept. Then again it would be a great responsibility on his part.

Sir Drake listened as he ate his food then stopped chewing as he heard the news. He was quite surprised by this news, for his clients usually did not give him such a resonsible job to start off with. However, he was certainly willing and able to accept the position. He finished his food and, wiping his mouth, he stood and said "It is indeed a great honour! I must thank the Lady Faith and get to work at once!" he strode over to the wardrobe and pulled out his armour (which was meant to be worn over his tunic etc.) and put it on then took up his cape from the bed and fastened it around his neck then turned to Aurora, and looked at her waiting for a response.
