Declan Aleric arrived in his father's War Room. "Hello Father, you requested my presence?" "Yes, Son. I wanted an update on the trade treaty with Persephone. How are they coming along?" "Perfectly, Father. Princess Salyn and I put the finishing touches on the papers last night. All that is left is for her to deliver them to her Queen." King Hayden Aleric placed his hands on his map table, appearing to be thinking. "I want you to show her the Subseas." he said. Declan recoiled slightly in shock, "Are you sure? I mean, I know that's how we are going to support them, but are they really ready?" King Aleric looked mildly annoyed. "They are ready enough for a look-around. Show one to her, take her inside. She knows not to speak of them to anyone but her Queen." Declan nodded, "Yes, sir. I'll get right to that." He walked up to a butler as he exited the War Room. "Show me to Princess Salyn's quarters please." he said, then followed the man.<br/><br/>Declan knocked on the bedroom door to Haizel's room. "Come in!" she shouted. Declan opened the door, spying Haizel packing for her return trip home. "Hello there, Princess. I have something to show you..." he teased, winking. "Oh?" she replied, following Declan out the door.<br/><br/>They travelled down to the basement, where Declan entered a code into the keypad next to a thick steel door. It beeped open, "After you, Princess."
