As I send the messenger off, the royal court is silent for a moment.

"Well, they are our people, should we not let them in?" Racheal, a Lamia says.

"You call them our people? They probably hitched a ride out on the cart of a merchant, are now with a mysterious man, and have the audacity to request an audience with our King and Queen. You are a Lamia, Racheal, an inviting kind, but we Cyclops look into things wery deeply, and from what I can see, this is not but some sort of trap." Onyx, a Cyclops replies.

"I'm more concerned about the cloaked man then our citizens in tow. The messenger said he had no bags with him, so he can't be a merchant, but he also lacked any weapons." The human, Richard says.

"So they are a mage. All the more reson not to trust them. Magic, alchemy, such things are scarce behind our walls for a good reason: they corrupt and distort that which is set in stone." Amber, another Cyclops says.

Rebecca slammed her wings down onto the table, but her exression betrayed no hint of pain, only anger, "Cast your prejudices aside, Cyclops! It is thanks to you that we struggle to teach your kind the modern ways of medicine! And you wonder why we suffer an occasional outbreak when the King and Queen merged our nations!"

Things were about to get off topic, but thankfully my advisor, Navlaan managed to shush everyone with a quick tap of his staff, "Now, lets not get off topic. Remember, King Thomas and Queen Beatrix have the final say in the matter, and it is your jobs to give them different points of view to consider and I believe you all have." He tunred to us, "So, Phoenix King Thomas, and Queen Beatrix the Unbreakable, what are your decrees?"

I turned to my Queen and beloved wife, waiting for her to respond, "We should let them in, but seperate them. One set of gaurds can take the Alexandrian's in for questioning, while the others can take the cloaked man to us."

Internally, I breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, it was nice to finally agree on something after so many disagreements concerning the future of our nation, "Yes, I agree. However, I decree we should set up sentries accross our walls. Until this man leaves or is determined to be nonthreatening and likewise for the Alexandrians, no one gets in or out of Alexandria."

I looked to the Queen, and she nodded, though I could tell she did not entirely approve. Looking back to Navlaan, he nodded all the same.

"As you wish, my lords. I shall make preperations immediatley." Navlaan said, before departing, shortly followed by the royal court.
