When the King was explained about the circumstances that led him and his people to possess the alien craft as well as Ginja's introduction. He nodded in understanding. "Thank you Lt. Nakajima. Though, I am unsure how to repay such a gift. This is surly the first time in my people's history that we were bestowed a Spacecraft." He said with a bit of humor. The King then turned his attention back towards Captain Yagami and her Aid-de-camp Signum. "May I ask to your purpose here, Captain Yagami?" He asked curiously.<br/><br/>Once the pleasantries were completed the king made his announcement. "We'll hold the ball tonight! Of course Captain Black, Yagami. You and your crews are invited as well." The King added. However, a polite cough from behind him got his attention. It was the Queen, "Dearest Husband. It would seem your excitement as overcome your sensibilities" she chuckled. The King's exuberant nature was one of his most endearing qualities in the Queens eyes. The way she chuckled politely told everyone that. "Everyone just returned. I am sure they would like some time to rest. It will not hurt anyone's feelings if we postpone the ball for one night. It will also give us proper amount of time to decorate and send out Invitations." She stated. "Yes, My Queen. Quite right." The King stated. "Tomorrow evening, then. I will look forward to see you both there, Captain Black, and Captain Yagami." He said before He, and his family departed in the carriage.<br/><br/>Back on the Dock, it was now just Black, with Lt. Nakajima, and Yagami with her XO. "Captain Yagami. You and your officers have shown the Princess, and I such hospitality. Perhaps I can extend same hospitality for you, and your Aid?" Jeremy offered.<br/><br/>As the carriage made its way back the palace. Queen Almalphia finally let out the breath she seemed to be holding the entire time. "I really don't see why you must do such things, Tel. Really. Gallivanting off into space with people that you don't even know. What if they tried do "things" to you." She said with deep concern and a visible shiver. "W-What if they never brought you back? You're the Heir apparent to the throne. You must take these things into consideration." Almalphia pressed. Granted they were moot points because they never happened, but a Mother could only worry about her Daughter. "Why can't you find a nice young Prince to settle down with. Someone that will Help you rule when your Father and I step down. Some Grandchildren to spoil would be nice as well. I am sure there will be plenty of Young suitors at the Ball tomorrow night. I would like for you to dance with them and at least talk to them. You never know. You may find that special person that is the other half of your Soul." She said with some excitement.<br/><br/>Part of Ælpheran belief was that each person only possessed half a soul. That somewhere their other Half lives reaching out for them. That if they find one another and fall in love. A new star would be born unto the heavens. It was a very similar notion to the Earth concept of "Soulmates". Most Ælpheran don't put much belief in the notion now, but it is one of those lingering romantic ideals that many young Ælpheran girls and a lot of Ælpheran boys, though secretly, like to believe in.
