Emmaline uses her full noble status

Emmaline lowered her mask, stepping forward to meet the guard's eye. Something about her posture shifted, she stood more upright, confidence coming to fill every fiber of her being. The guard shrunk back, then seemed to remember himself and pulled himself back up.

"My name is Lady Emmaline Beuamanoir, heiress to the house Beaumanoir, Daughter of Lady Elaine Beaumanoir. The guard will allow passage into the castle for my companions and myself, or the guard shall find his Lady very unhappy that he turned away the first daughter of house Beaumanoir." Emmaline declared without missing a beat. Becky stared at her in awe, while Liv suppressed a laugh.

"Y-yes! Of course, my Lady! My deepest apologies my Lady, I beg you to forgive my insolence!" the guard bowed, then as though bowing wasn't enough, fell to one knee before Emmaline. "I'll let you through immediately!"

He rose again, while keeping his head bowed, and walked over to the gate, slipping a small silvery key inside, and pulling it open. He stood to the side of the gate, bowing as the Bravos walked through.

"I shall have a servant escort you to the ball room" the guard said, moving back toward his station.

"No, that won't be necessary," Emmaline waved her hand dismissively. The guard nodded, shutting the gate behind them and allowing the Bravos free access to the manor. Before they could decide where to go first, however, a figured approached them, walking quickly down the pathway from the manor.
