Carlito smiled when she spoke and then bowed and stepped back from Phera ..as his hand motioned to give her the floor as indeed all had went silent . He glanced over int he direction of the Queen that was standing at this point . Attempting to take her mood that was very difficult to do in the state of connection she was in right now . So as Phera moved into her eloquent speech that seemed all in the room maintained the silence for and lifted up their heads giving her the audience she sought to now move her request to an open forum . Well definitely the woman did not need any refinement and being put in his place only made her charm more enduring to him.<br/><br/>Evelyna drew in a breath and watched as the woman put forth the cause she seemed to so dearly want to reinstate ..though she too swallowed and glanced back at the Queen. The timing of this outburst of emotion and bringing up the ways of old might not fall on such receiving ears as it might have in a royal chambers. Though it had been changed for what reason even Evelyna was not completely sure only knew it had to do with the purity that must remain with the Queen. That was not always common knowledge to all ...as Evelyna looked about the main room many here were common visitors to the castle and special guests so maybe this was not a bad place for the Herbanist to speak.<br/><br/>Radella had stepped up late as usually ...with a slight skip in her step though right on time for the drawing of the name only to see a woman speaking and the strawberry blonde beauty stopped near Evelyna . As she an exchange in glances took place ..though Radella remained silent as did all others. A few whispered conversations took place when Phera finally ended her speech with a curtsy .<br/><br/>A silence fell upon the room then as the Queen began to move forward ...as if taking in this woman that the ball of light had spoken about . Her eyes were directed at Carlito as she spoke out ..<strong> " If this woman is your desired wish to return to the ways of the old Carlito ...Evelyna .." </strong>as she looked over at the Princess ..<strong>" Then that is what we shall do . However my own requirement to keep out Kingdom safe is abstaining from such carnal desires as these you speak of and in that reasoning alone ...the banishment of such concubines were removed from the Castle and the building of the pleasure stations were created. To give the Herbanist their own special place in our society at Large. Though my own selfishness to remove the temptations of such things may as you have pointed out ...created an undue tension in the other members of royalty in the Kingdom. I grant said position to you my dear ...but you will be restricted in your movements within these walls and forbidden to enter my private chambers and a few others. "</strong>as she nodded to the woman then but kept her distance .<br/><br/>Then the Queen motion to the table ...to let Carlito and the new concubine be seated. The children were brought in and the ritual was preformed as the Queen placed her hand up under each of their chins ...and spoke out the position from hence forth they would be trained . Applause echoed the room as each one then was received by the Master of each . The last little boy walked up and the queen closed her eyes as if in knowing ..as her hand reached out and touched up under his chin . No words were spoken as the boy's body went rigid and the form of woman held and in the next few seconds all would recoil in the horror . As the boys body burst into a blue light flame ..and within minutes was consumed and only a pile of ashes remained.<strong> " Filled with the power of the dark ones .." </strong>was all the queen spoke as she moved to return to her chair . Every priest in the room seemed to be physically shaken as a surge of energy was thrust into their bodies making their eyes glow dark .<br/><br/>The Queen the then motion<strong>..." Let the drawing for the lottery take place ...so we might end this ritual with a more pleasent note .."  </strong><br/><br/>Radella walked up the small set of steps that was provided and placed her arm down deep into the globe of names ...swirling her arm around till her hand clasped a piece of paper and drew it out . Moving to open it ....then she looked up at the Queen unsure at first whether she should really call out the name on the paper. Swallowing as the Queen only nodded to her as if telling Radella that yes she knew what name was on the ticket .<br/><br/>Radella cleared her throat ..<strong>" The one chosen from the people to join in the Quest and become part of the Missionaries to seek out what lies beyond is ...Phera hailing from the Herbanists from the village of Trinity ." </strong><br/><br/>Carlito felt like his heart had been yanked out of his chest as blinked and glanced at the woman his arm was around .<strong> " Is that ..." </strong>then he went silent . The room in applause and standing as the word of who was chosen was echoed out into the courtyards and the chant calling out her name seemed to echo into Carlito's mind like a sword being thrust and twisted over and over into his soul. He would only have her for a brief while before she would be sent away . How could this be ..to find one that made your soul sing out with a desire to cherish till the end of time and now have to give that up to send forth into god only knew what . There was no way to hide his own grief over the name called.<br/><br/>Evelyna's eyes went to Carlito and she could almost feel his pain ..having not seen him this completely enthralled with a woman before in forever ..never had he wanted something so much if he was willing to take her to his side . What words of comfort could be given for once even she had no idea what to say for it had been an idea brought forth from her own mind to have a representative of the people go along.
