<div class="floatright">(http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m241/Lui_punkgirl/queenamelia.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Queen Amelia<br/><strong>Role:</strong>Queen of Theiri<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Throne Room of the Theiri Castle<br/><strong>Tagged:</strong>Princess Kiara, Nadir, Erin, maids<br/><br/>Amelia shifted again as she saw her daughter approach, a warm smile conjuring on her face. That was, until she realized something was wrong with the way Kiara was approaching her. She shifted once more, almost standing up out of the throne when her Daughter came within feet of her. "What's wrong my Orchid?" She said calmly and with a soft, smooth voice. As her daughter's voice whispered into her ear, the breath tickling the hairs on her neck, Amelia hung her head a little, in concern.<br/><br/>Sitting back into the throne, Amelia looked at her daughter. She was glad of the dress she picked out for her, and now she did look like the beautiful flower Amelia always thought Kiara to be. Of course her daughter was always a treasure with her beauty and her ways, but today, she looked simply stunning in something so simple. She smiled at Kiara as she thanked her for the dress, but her smile was a cause for concern as her eyes read her daughters. Her foresight was unbelievably handy in times such as this. Should her daughter decide to learn politics, God help the other countries. Her daughter could rule well with that peaceful mind and strong heart.<br/><br/>Amelia looked out over the throne room at Erin and Nadir, glancing only as she heard her daughter's next words. A calm face was kept as inside her head, Amelia unfolded slightly. They were too early and her son, from the sound of it, was possibly being brash and fool hearty. Her eyes looked at her lap as she place a hand on her cheek and rubbed slightly. her fingers moving shortly there after to brush away a strand of hair. She watched now as Erin proclaimed about whispers and then was suddenly declaring her exit, singing on the way out. It brought a smile to Amelia's face, but she pondered at the Lady Fool's choice of song. She watched as well as Nadir lost interest in what was happening.<br/><br/>Once again Amelia shifted, to look at her daughter taking her hand and gripping it tight. She was always glad for her daughter, for she brought strength to this queen. "Thank you my daughter," she responded upon the lovely compliment Kiara paid to her. Beginning to relax again inside, she decided to stand and let out a heavy sigh. "Well it seems that we will have to inform the staff in the kitchen and dining room that the guests have arrived early. I'm not even sure their beds have been prepared yet. Might as well check on that now, rather than later. Care to join me orchid?" she said softly as she moved out of the throne room in direction of the kitchen.<br/><br/>As she walked, Amelia observed her castle in silence, if her daughter had words for her to hear, Amelia was all ears. The quietness was a bit unusual for the relatively conversational woman, but it was only there because she was focusing. Focusing on what had to get done before people came to the castle. She snagged maids and workers when she could, to start spreading word and begin preparing the bedrooms for the Aserit royalty if they hadn't been started yet. To her relief the wing had already been started on last night, and they were just finishing up. She said her thank you's to the staff and made her way to the kitchen. She asked the maids to place out snack trays, to hold off the guests until supper was finished. She offered her help, but once again was pushed out of the kitchen with kindness.<br/><br/>She sighed softly, not saying much of anything still as she checked on the area they would be dining and discussing within. Her eyes scanned the room, the flowers and decorations in place. It just lacked food and entertainment. Amelia clasped together in front of her lips lips for a moment, as every servant in the room had left, scurrying to get other things done. Deep in thought Amelia pondered when her husband would be home, and how she was going to do this alone. She paused and let her hands fall to her side. Her face was determined now, her mind giving her a boost to her confidence. What if she could pull this off alone? Then she would have something to nerve the King when he came back. She liked having weapons against him, verbal secrets, truth uncovered behind the lies if there were any. Their verbal dialogue was always exciting, always keeping each other on their toes. She could do this, and prove herself a woman worthy of her tongue.<br/><br/>Of course this wasn't her only want out of this meeting. She needed her kingdom in good health, the people were suffering. Next to her children, the people of Theiri were considered family. She didn't want to watch them die over a quarrel that's lasted years and could be ended with the right words.<em>'Plan every word ahead of time Amelia. Make each word count, and don't become emotional unless you need to,'</em>she thought to herself.  She wanted a kingdom her children could rule, that was rich with pleasure and life, knowledge and beauty.
