Royal visit.

Queen Arerto had decided that it was time to visit Galtion and her sister Chasin. Arrangements had been made for a formal state visit which Arerto was not looking forward to. She would have to be in the Freeconia state carriage. She would rather be on Huron but as she was visiting another realm she had project a certain image. The queen of this realm is regal.So here she was in the carriage with Giselle and Katherine heading towards her first visit. As the carriage made its way through teh streets of Talia people waved and Arerto waved back. Talia is a beautiful city. Arerto thought and she was already looking forward to getting back.The carriage had cavalry front and rear as they headed north out of the city along the stoned road. The road soon turned to a dirt road the further they got from Talia. Arerto was happy about two things one seeing sister and two Katherine was here with her. Katherine is my rock. She is the one I turn to when I need advice on anything.

I know she will be here for me and I will be here for her. The journey would take all day with stop at the border town of Corson were the horses would be switched out for fresh ones. While this was happening they would have lunch then continue their journey north. Talia has always been my home and I will always return here. It is where my heart is and always will be.' she thought as she gazed out the window. They arrived at Corson and the footmen opened the doors of the carriage and helped the ladies down. They were met by the leader of the town and her advisors then enjoyed lunch. The horses were switched out and the tired horses taken to the stables to rest. They arrived at the border crossing and on the otherside was a detachment of Galtion Cavalry who were there to escort the carriage to Helica the Galtion capital.The Freeconian commander agreed that the Freconian Cavalry would cover the rear while the Galtion Cavalry the front.

The carriage carrying Arerto and her party headed further into Galtion. This was not the first time Arerto had been abroad but those other times had been due to warring. Now this was a peaceful visit and she lonnged for the journey to be over. As Arerto stared out the window she took in the beautiful countryside which was on par with Freeconia and in some places reminded her of home. The journey continued as the sun began to head downwards and soon the city was visible on the horizon." I wonder what the people are like. How do they live? What do they eat? " asked ArertoThey eventually entered the city and headed to the palace. There waiting was her sister Chasin in her royal dress and tiara and with her a mountain of a man and a petite woman. Arerto knew they must be King Feodore and Queen Fatima and just behind Chasin was General Killiane. What an honour to welcome you in our humble town. We have heard so much about you and are so glad you have finally arrived. Please, don't let us keep you. You must be tired after your long journey.

"Thank you King Feodore and Queen Fatima it has been a long journey. I hope my sister Princess Chasin has not given you to many problems? The King Chuckled "Your sister is a very good diplomat and has arbitrated many issues." They moved inside the palace and were shpown to their rooms for their stay. the cavalry had been assigned billets in the palace barracks. I will have to see what I can do with these horses. Queen Arerto was assigned a room in the innermost part of the palace where she would have privacy and had been assigned a maid by the name of Tatiana.Arerto thought she was no Bella or Selina but she did her job well enough.Queen Arerto was assigned a room in the innermost part of the palace where she would have privacy and had been assigned a maid by the name of Tatiana.Arerto thought she was no Bella or Selina but she did her job well enough.Soon Arerto was settled for the night mentally preparing for tomorrows meetings. She wished Katherine would sneak over to her room but also knew that she could not. The laws here forbade same sex relationships so people had to be careful her included.
