"That is the problem with gossip. You can never know if its accurate or not, but if it exists, many people assume it is true." She looked at him directly, her expression serious as she watched him. There was no anger in her voice, but neither was she laughing, or smiling. "Especially the court likes the notion of myself as a 'price' to be claimed by the winner, a fantasy they no doubt came up with when it became clear I was not going to take a husband to my side." She spoke with a calm tone, watching at him.<br/><br/>"The rumors of me and my consorts are just that, rumors. I assure you, if I picked a man or a woman to join me, I would take more discretion than to pick someone like that publically. I have granted requests to spend a day, or even a week in palace with me as my guest, to learn about the great history, to be pampered and served, but my body is my own, and like this land, it is not for sale." She spoke seriously, but smiled now. "You have heard those rumors, and you admit their appeal, yet you were wise enough to ask for something else, something that could actually help you achieve more, not just loiter around in excess."<br/><br/>Chuckling a little, she nod her head. "I believe that granting you access to the royal library is within reason, and you will find many books there that are forbidden elsewhere. I warn you off from the section marked clearly with the word 'cursed', but otherwise you are free to roam there. You may also enter the cursed section, but I warn you, in doing so you take your life into your own hands." She stood up and wakled towards Tehr, before reaching out to press a hand to his cheek. The fingers so soft, yet warm and slender. "As for blue magic, you will have to inquire from the court wizard perhaps, for while there may be such in the library's many shelves, it is not something you could just stumble onto without preparing and someone who has sought out that information before should be able to help." She smirked a hint at this, before drawing her hand away. She pulled a single ring from her finger, presenting it to you. "Hold out your hand." She said this as the ring shone lightly, and Tehr could sense the spell.<br/><br/><em>Arcane Mark, but oh so much more powerful. A sigil spell, perhaps to let him pass whatever wards were in the castle, or to let him walk past the guards.</em><br/><br/>"With this mark, I will accept your wish and grant you passage. When I revoke the right, the mark will leave you."
