The guard stood quietly as Alexi escorted his two guests . Kyera held her husband's hand as they approached the visitors .
Three women stood waiting for them, two Kyera recognized straight off . One was Queen Kira and the other was the woman she remembered as Feya . The woman who smelt slightly familiar and disconcerting .
The third woman however, Kyera had never seen before . She had long deep brown hair that fell in waves down her back . Her curves were encased in the long flowing, deep blue fabric that brought out her overall cool beauty . Kyera was curious almost instantly as to who this woman was, and her answer was offered as the lady in blue wrapped an arm around Alexi's waist . She must be their current host .

"Your other Mother and sister in law were here to remind us of our place, darling . " The beauty spoke, clearly trying to cut the crap . Alexi smiled and kissed her forehead .
"Pet, let's remember the difference in your dialect and theirs . Their must be a misunderstanding . " Alexi seemed to try and smooth this over on the surface . His wife turned and wrapped her arm around his neck as if she was wronged, he held her close to him .
"I don't see why it's her business that we have family staying with us . Oh Kyera dear… your awake . " Those bright green eyes lit on Kyera and she smiled, her emotions changing instantly . Kyera smiled at her a bit nervous, granted her friendly expression reminded her a lot of the Frost Royal's welcome .
"Yes, I am sorry . I was very tired after our journey . I did not intend to cause you so much trouble . " Kyera apologized as Alexi's wife took her hands and kisses her cheeks . The similarities between this woman and the royals mixed with her scent made the tension melt away .
"Are you trying to insult me, Sister? I have wanted to meet you after the wedding but I couldn't leave Dryn . " She replied with a warm smile and Kyera smiled back . The warmth gushing off her was so refreshing .
"Kyera, this is my wife, Lalia Falcren . " Alexi introduced realizing his wife was being overly familiar and yet she hadn't offered her name .
"Oh, Falcren, the Frost lands Merchant family?" Kyera asked with a bit of surprise . She had a lot of similarity to that family line . The warm spicy smell was a dead give away .
"Yes, you know us?" Lalia asked with surprise and a tone that hinted she was impressed . The word that Kyera was a 'forest girl' was starting to sound a bit understated . There was something familiar about her responses to her greeting .
"My mother was a Frost born . " Kyera offered and Lalia laughed, a delicate sound like the song of small bells . There was a instant connection that made the brothers smile at one another . Their obvious effort to ignore Kira and Feya was beautiful, the darker their expressions got .
"Ahh then no wonder you feel familiar, a country bond . I love our customs, since you know how I was raised, you know my home is your own . " Lalia loops her arm with Kyera and turned to the black faced Queen and her daughter in law who had come to cause mischief . "However it is late and I do not remember you announcing your arrival . " Those words pointed clearly at the Queen . It was proper for a runner to go ahead of a royal and warn the recipient of their impending arrival .
"Lalia, you know your Palace is not yours alone . It belongs to the Royal Family and your guest is a bit controversial . " Queen Kira reminded her, careful on the subject at hand . Kyera raised an eyebrow as she completely ignored Clovis and Kyera were there .
"Oh? You came to tell me the people of this palace have finally realized you and your family are nothing but a family of dogs biting the backs of the weak and sick? Then why are you darkening my door?" Princess Lalia asked raising a elegant eyebrow, her expression rather stern and disapproving .
