"Well then, it's agreed."  Lilliana let her closed fan rest in the palm of her opposing hand in a kind of final statement, like a judge banging his gaval to call the court to close.  "I should like to meet with your brother in the sitting parlor at the end of the hall adjacent to this room.  The door is a single brown wooden one with a brass handle. He shall know it because all the others are doubled or white.  Will you fine ladies escort and introduce him?"  Without awaiting their replaies, she stood and swiftly went to apply her war paint and battle armor.<br/><br/>The King smiled invitingly.  "We should like to see it, should we both survive this competition.  A hunting trip would do Us good once this ballyhoo has ended."<br/><br/>The queen nearly brought her hand to slap her face upon hearing her husband use such familiarity with a man who'd just entered the castle no more than an hour ago, no matter how handsom she thought him to be.  Though there was something about him that struck her as familiar, though she could not put anything certain to it as of yet.<br/><br/>Lilliana made her way back to her own room, but heard someting rustling inside from down that hall.  Who on earth could be in her room?  She'd never given anyone permission to set foot in her room. She filled with a gret deal of anger, not quite to the point of rage, but very close.  Carefully, she opened the door.  Eurich froze in his tracks as she entered.  There were things in the middle of the room, and he was at her vanity with a vile in hand.  What was all of this?<br/><br/>She looked about her room, noticing the boy from the Hisuka family was there as well.  "Was there a gathering in my chambers that I was not invited to?" She asked angrily.  Stepping toward the middle, she recognized the items in the middle of the floor.  "My shoes! Someone trapped my shoes!" She picked up the lavender bottle and smelt the contents.  It smelt as though someone had vomited in lavender and added water. Holding the bottle from her face, she looked to Eurich and the boy respectively.  "And this lavender?  Oh- I could've used this and been... been..." She set the lavender on a shelf so as not to have to bend over in her european fashions.  Looking to the shoes, to the men in her room and also vaguely catching something shiny on the floor under her vanity.  It looked like the same kind of nail stuck up in her shoes.   She went to Eurich and embraced him fondly, though the boy was admitteldy hesitant to do so in front ocompany.<br/><br/>"I knew others were trying to kill me," She sighed shakily. "but I knew I had a guardian."  She released her brother to his delight and turned her attention to the other man in the room.  "However, I did not know I had two.  Thank you so much for your assistance.  I have been wary, and so has my brother, but this castle is full of horrid and..." she looked to the silver nails comming up through her shoes. "frankly, un-clever beasts.  It is very comforting to know that there are those who would watch over the corners I cannot see."  She recovered heself while Eurich stood by and smiled.  "But if you will excuse me, I am meeting a potential suitor here very shortly and I must prepare."<br/><br/>Eurich looked like he'd just seen a ghost riding a unicycle up the battlements.  A suitor? Who? He asked with his eyes, who?  The question was undetected however, as Lilliana stood to bid them boodbye near the door.
