Listening to his words silently the Queen nod her head slowly, then drawing a breath. "Alright, Master Tehr. Though I would ask you to forget my title for now, as this is something that requires more than titles alone can do." She had a small smirk across her face. Watching his face there for a moment, she took a long breath  before sipping down a long gulp of red wine there, enjoying the taste slowly.<br/><br/>As she lowered the glass' edge again she spoke in a very serious tone. "Very well. I am aware of things that are getting dangerous here. For one, house Dale is building a lot of support among the aristocracy, trying to rise them and a handful of other houses to power, while oppressing others. Divide and Conquer was the original idea by the former rulers, divide power so that no one individual house could try a coup without facing majority of the nation against them, but now it seems the house Dale is making a pushfor it to control finances." Her tone was annoyed. The look on her face less than pleased, almost vengeful for a moment.<br/><br/>"I might deal with it easier if not for the Cardinal. The church has offered their support to House Dale and House Carth in the northern parts of the kingdom, for the attempts to bring faith to the border areas with sword and fire if need be. I have believed the church's task is to serve the spiritual needs and to protect the kingdom's learning, but it starts to seem like they are making an attempt at power play too. The cardinal is getting too ambituous. For these reasons, I need someone to break their hold on a few fronts. I might move my own knights to the task but there are only few of them, and most of them are too well known to pass unseen. You on the other hand are suspected to be a secret consort to me already, but also whispered to be another 'rising and falling' little noble that impressed once and then fell into obscurity. You have a chance here to change that." She watched him intently.<br/><br/>"The royal mage had a view of you earlier for this reason too. I believe he used the words,<em>reminds me of myself when I was younger.</em>" She smirked a bit.
