The family walked in and immediate the were greeted by people. Lyons saw several lords and knghts he and Jonathan had not spoken to in a while. Three ladies that were over 60 flocked to Kate.<br/><br/>One was dressed in purple she looked like an over grown prune and her face was very shriveled. "Katherine I'm out of foot salve for my gout and need a new jar."<br/><br/>Kate curtsied to the withered hag, "I will bring you a jar before you go to bed, Lady Darnell."<br/><br/>A lady all dressed in blue and wore heavy blue eyeshadow approached Kate, "There you are. I waited hours to see you. I need some spiced tea and rose soap. My complexion is dry this winter."<br/><br/>Kate held Trillen's hand as she spoke to the woman dressed in blue, "Lady Annestaia, I will bring you some before lunch tomorrow."<br/><br/>An exquisitely dressed lady in faded pink ball gown and gaudy jewelry that made her look like very old overly decorated Frost Day tree grabbed Kate by the arm, "Let me have that luscious young man. He look like a perfect play toy. I also need facial cream; this wind and cold is ruining me."<br/><br/>Kate held Trillen protectively. "He is the King's gift and as long as we are here he has been ordered to only serve the House of Lyons. We will not farm him out. You may look and not touch."<br/><br/>Kate made her way to the dais. The mage was greeted by King Atrius. "Katie, how are my dear?"<br/><br/>Kate curtsied low and looked up at her godfather then gave him a tight hug, "Your Majesty, I am so happy to see you. How are you?"<br/><br/>King Atrius hugged her back and smiled widely, "I missed you child. I am fine. How was you first semester? I see you have my gift from Draco. I cannot tolerate that sorcerer. I do not want a thing from him. How would like an early birthday present? What is you name slave?"
