Minutes later, outside the door of the throne room the queen heard a loud verbal exchange between her guards and one seeking the queens audience.<br/><br/>This was a time the guards knew that the queen usually desired to be alone with her thoughts to plan matters and their pleas to insist her being left alone were addressed clearly to the visitor.<br/>It seemed however the visitor thought her need should prove an exception.<br/><br/>All did. Elissandra's nation was a proud one, and thus strong perspectives were very common. Such driven views greatly aided success on the battle field however unlike other cultures it didnt take much for many she governed to set aside simple courteousy to try and see matters resolved.<br/><br/><strong>"I must see her"</strong>a feminine voice pleaded<br/><br/><strong>"She must rest !"</strong>one of the guards responded<strong>"If it is urgent and needs fast resolution seek Narina or another high official, Impressive our queen may be she is mortal she needs rest, mainly rest from the likes of those barging into her own room expecting her time is theirs. "</strong><br/><br/>The other guard seemed more sympathetic<strong>"Look Fiona, this is the third time we have been through this the answer is still no. Other nations would have you in a cell to teach you that testing the patience with royalty decrees must be made an example of. Elissandra is more lenient with traditions if she sees it adversly effecting her own, she even permits others addressing those high on a first name basis sometimes. She doesn't make many rules but the ones she does she does for a reason... you have not seen her when her own patience is thin Fiona, please for the sweet love of all divines try and find another to see to what has upset you"</strong><br/><br/><strong>"Look you two you will not send me away this time. Narina deals with spirital matters, Gymnasthena with war things, what I know of is something I fear their own bias may colour views on. Yes she is my Queen - so I should obey where I should, but in the same breath SHE is MY queen. If I need a queen to see to something. SHE is mine to do so ! or do you think she is not capable of being so and I should seek another?"</strong><br/><br/>At this the guards paused.<strong> "Damn it Fiona, your hot headed you just dont know how wrathful your queen can be if her rest is disturbed. She may have you killed or worse. She has had to deal with Narina recently and she is a handful even for the queen. We can tell by the tone of her voice when she is annoyed and frustrated she may very well take out her frustration on you. Don't be arrogant to think your cause is large in her eyes whatever it is. She deals with those as passionate as yourself ALL THE TIME. She had guests last night and trust me from what we heard she had no sleep then, so she needs this nap now. In order for her to rule properly she needs to have a mind that is sharp and for that to happen she needs her rest. Its that simple. Ensuring so is our job"</strong><br/><br/><strong>"Ah what is the point of having a Queen if she is the queen if every time I want to see her something more important prevents it happening?"</strong><br/><br/><strong>"That's why we have officials Fiona ! Speak your mind to them and if they deem it something that should come to the Queens attention they will see to it"</strong><br/><br/><strong>"If they deem ? They deem ? They have their own agendas they would put in front of others, that is what they do ... and that is what they do well. What about if I deem it ? If nothing else I am a citizen of Amalor and I seek audience with MY queen. Is there a rule against that?"</strong><br/><br/>The guards sighed<strong> "Oh Fiona, I pray she is in a humor mood for yours sake and ours if we let you in now she may have our heads for disobeying her wishes to be undisturbed. She has given guards a rule to ensure her rest is private. Allowing this is forcing us to break a rule <em>we </em>have sworn to."</strong><br/><br/>The heated exchange continued, so loud and passionate there was no way the queen could manage rest regardless. Regretfully the guards opened the door eyeing each other nervously "nice knowing you" one of them sarcastically mouthed to the other before addressing the queen formally<br/><br/>The entrance was shielded on all sides with curtains, allowing the queen to hear the introductions before deciding if she wished to show herself<br/><br/>There were folds in the fabric the queen could use to see the entrants without herself being exposed. One that revealed an uncommonly fair skinned futa.<br/><br/><div align="center">(http://futanari.kicks-ass.net/humantauria/other/pinktaurone.jpg.html)</div><br/>All bowed low before one of the guards spoke<strong>"Great queen, our humble apologies for disturbing your rest but a citizen of yours has been most adamant of a matter that only your ears must know of. Our efforts to see such happenings at the formal times is something she pays no heed, if you do not wish to speak with her now shall we refuse her further attempts?"</strong><br/><br/>
