<b>Viscountess Edelmira "Edelle" Hyde the XIV of House Glophenschardaer, the Court of Castle Auxcora, in the presence of <b>Grand Alchemist Milka Vlammen</b> and the other nobles assembled.</b><br/><br/>Edelle made her way about the court, smiling warmly as her wild eyes scanned the many faces of the court she would become<i>very </i>familiar with in the coming years.  She looked about, either enjoying or not noticing the wide berth that everyone seemed to be giving her already as she walked about greeting those assembled.  She seemed to be the complete opposite of the mad woman they had seen... and heard, just a few moments before.  She was warm, even sweet as she went about greeting everyone, asking their names, making comments and connections to those she knew of in some way or another.  Many were caught in a tight grip of fear to find that in some way their holdings were connected to her own.  Everyone knew that the talons of House Glophenschardaer ran deep in all parts of the kingdom, but it seemed that in one fell swoop, she had managed to reveal to them all just how deeply her own talons were in their very personal wealth.  This Viscountess easily had every member of the court in her hand in one form or another.<br/><br/>Finally, she made it around to the corner where Milka was set up and she blinked a little looking over the large table.  "Oh, an open bar. How luxurious!  I must say, they have style in Auxcora.  And you are?"  She drew out the last word looking from the older apprentice to Milka herself, taking an exaggerated moment to decide who was really in charge before focusing the sweet smile on the younger better dressed Grand Master.  She gave a charming look like a hyena would a when they made the decision to play with it before gulping it down.  Moving forward to held up her hands in a feminine manner as she observed the many tools of Milka's trade with hungry eyes.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
