She was on an errand run to obtain some medicine for one of the servants, but she didn't know the apothecary was on the other side of the palace commons and she had to expose her already exposed skin to the cold winter outside. One of the guards allowed her to take one of the horses and she rushed to the place specified in the message. But she couldn't go too fast. The wind was weak at this time of day, but going fast meant unwanted wind caused by air resistance. And that meant it would be colder than normal at breakneck speed.<br/><br/>Once she found the apothecary, she exchanged some coin for the parcel and was gifted an animal's pelt to cover some of her body. With a smile, she was off, back up to the palace. The pelt offered some warmth, but the palace was better. Per the King's request, she wore this revealing cloak and cowl. To other women, it may have been seen as a joke by the King, to have a woman freeze herself to death in the bitter cold. But Raiza was not one of those women. She loved the King and didn't serve him half-heartedly. If he wanted her to wear this, with the apparent consequences, then so be it. He was the king after all.<br/><br/>She trotted the horse back into the sheltered stables and with help from one of the guards, she dismounted the fine beast. Once off, she had thanked the horse for providing her with its body heat. In one of the crowded halls, Raiza made her way to see what was all the commotion. It turns out the princess that was seeking King Marik's aid, had just arrived and was already meeting with the king in his throne room. Though she was too short to see over the taller servants to catch a glimpse of the princess and her entourage.<br/><br/>Once the crowd had dispersed, she made a beeline to the harem's quarters, but not until one of the lesser harem girls stopped her to say that the king wanted an audience of his whole harem. Despite still being cold from being outside, Raiza nodded to the harem girl and allowed her to walk beside her as they made their way to the throne room. Once inside, she eyed King Marik through the corner of her eye as she joined the other women kneeling at the foot of the throne. She clutched close to the harem girl she came with, whose name was Nadia, using her body heat to warm herself up. Raiza tried hard to hide her discomfort from the cold from the king.
