**Milena Capell**
**Zahadra, Astoria**

Milena watched in awe as they passed the city. They didn't even pass through it and she could already tell it was far and away the largest city in Astoria. She couldn't see much else due to the massive walls around the city, but she knew she'd see it in due time. Introductions to his court would have to be first. 

"Wow."
She was enthralled by the gardens that lined the entrance to Durkhan palace. Those gardens alone easily dwarfed her own personal one back in Ostrava. If that single garden alone was so awe inspiring, she couldn't wait to see the rest of the city.

** Mikhail Durkhan-Maith
Zahrada, Astoria**

Mikhail stood after Daemon exited the carriage, stepping out and down the short step onto the cobblestone beneath the carriage. Daemon gave a whispered warning with a smirk, and Mikhail returned it with an eye roll. As if he was going to trip _right now_ of all times. He turned, offering his hand to Milena as she stepped down and out of the carriage, probably just as thankful for the freedom of movement as the other two were. 

His eyes moved once more to the shawl she wore, and the way it was being used to mask whatever mark he had caught a glimpse of earlier. Thankfully, the sun had passed it's highest point during their travels and was making it's way towards the horizon to bath Zahrada in warm tones and she wouldn't feel discomfort if she decided to keep it on. 

"Daemon, do you have to report back to Sir Cromwell immediately, or will you be available to escort myself and Milena for a while?" He asked, his eyes on Millie's smile for a little too long before turning to his friend.

"I'd better report to him first, else he may send a search party after me." Daemon said, "I'll catch with you too later. A pleasure to meet you Lady Capell." Daemon finished before turnning on his heel and walking off to find the Head Knight.

Milena took his hand and stepped down from the carriage onto the ground. She was glad to get up after sitting for so long. "Thank you" She smiled at Mikhail before turning to the squire who was taking his leave. "Have a good evening, Daemon!" She called after him with a wave. 

The mark on her face had faded enough to be barely noticeable, so she opted to remove her shawl. She then gazed at Zahadra palace. The sheer size of it made Capell Manor look like a peasant's cottage. "This is all so exquisite" Millie said to herself as she looked around the ornate gardens and palace exterior.
