The guard captain on duty stepped forward and bowed to the guests before him and spoke up.RuffRydeR wrote:A grand procession appears on the roads of Yanyu. The sight had been there once before, but this time, it was larger still, with the maids in full armour and tripled in number. After all, this was the future Queen of Xia in their midst, with the future drawing closer and closer still.
A maid stopped in front of the gate, and windingly noted all her titles in proper fashion, as she was restrained by a maid inside the carriage for propriety's sake. Then, the maid asked for a meeting with the Lady Lu Ying.
But eventually, she broke free, and emerged, her dazzlingly armoured and outfitted figure lovely in the bright sunlight. Sporting a sure grin, the Princess Regnant strutted towards the entrance and said,
"I'm sure you could imagine why I'm here...especially since my maid already said why. Though, I suppose, you would all rather imagine it, wouldn't you? Now, where would the Lady Lu be?"
"If you would follow me, I will lead you to the Lady of Yanyu"
With those words the guards turned about and assuming the visitor followed the guards lead him through the winding corridors of the palace to the main hall. Throwing the doors open they entered the room and the guards dropped to their knee's and the guard captain announced the visitor to the governor of Yanyu.
Lu Ying looked down at the woman from her dias and smiled.
"Lady Xia!" Lu Ying exclaimed before jumping down from her dias and walking up to the little princess "Tell me, is your father still feeling ill? I have prayed for his good health ever since I heard"
