The taste of her lips still upon his he went to his room as she went to hers. His heart was still pounding in his chest and he was slowly breathing a bit slower. Things were looking up for him and he was walking on air it seemed. As he prepared for bed though his mind returned to what was going to happen in the morning. Carriages would have to be readied for the transport of his father, the Queen and who ever they brought. The prisoner would also have to be taken with them and secured until the proper moment. By the time he went to bed to get some sleep, several units of his forces would be marching towards the city at a force march, cross country and not on roads, that twisted and turned. Routes that had been chosen long ago that would get the troops to the city fast. He was now gambling on what was transpiring and who was behind the human army on the boarder of the contested lands. Dante had his suspisions that Valkar was behind it all, especially from what the prisoner had told him. His two main supporters were also sending troops to the city. He could not wait now for the general public to support him. He had to act fast and his supporters were behind him a hundred percent.<br/><br/>It was in the early hours when it was still dark that the Queen and his father arrived. Andrew was up and greeted them and quickly took them to prepared quarters so they could rest. As dawn broke, Andrew awoke Dante and he quickly dressed and went to the chambers prepared for his father and the Queen. 'So it is time is it?" his asked. Dante nodded, "It seems so. Earlier then what we planned on, but the situation has changed and it opens the opportunity a lot sooner." Now things began come together as the morning progressed. All the servants were sent into town on errands, so that none would know, except Andrew who was in the Castle.<br/><br/>Dante went up to Laylah's room to get her and inform her that their guests had arrived. He was going to enjoy the council meeting this time.
