Getting in the palace.

Sarah and Gretchen the other two members of Katherine's team had infiltrated the city and from hanging out at the local tavern they had found out the palace needed servants. They headed up to the palace and secured employment as serving girls taking food to the feasts in the palace banquet hall. Here they would be able to listen and watch without being noticed after all rarely were servants noticed by the nobility unless it was in the bed chambers. So far they had not secured any information and were careful not to push their questioning too fast. Today the Queen was returning from a trip that had been rumoured was to Talia. Sarah had just delivered the food and rink to the Queen and her advisors and as she left the hall she overheard the Queen say that she had signed a treaty with Queen Chasin. This information was important and she knew she had to deliver it to Katherine and the others in case they wanted to change their plans.

"Well ladies we have decided on the slaver roue and this is good as we can get into the dungeon area more easily. Your Highness, you will have to be one of the slaves as from your bearing you are obviously nobility. General you will act her the princess's bodyguard also enslaved and once in the dungeon it will be your job to locate Arerto and free her. Shazia, Jelani and I will cover you and keep the guards distracted along with the Queen. Now looking at the castle layout there is a hidden passageway just across from the dungeon entrance here is where Shazia will meet you and lead you out of the palace. Finally, Jelani and I will leave and meet with you all back here for the next step of the plan" said Katherine. The women had no objections and confirmed they understood the plan but Karleen was curious as to what the next part of the plan was once they had rescued Arerto and escaped.

"Your highness you know sister better than I do you really think that she will not seek **** on Chasin and the others for enslaving her and humiliating her." Karleen nodded and said yes she would do all these things to her enemies and she was glad she was not one of them. Just then Sarah entered and informed the women of the treaty and Katherine smiled. She noted Karleen looking at her so she explained. "Your highness this treaty can only serve one purpose they want to conquer. Now I can at least get an agreement with Thaden as I am sure he will not want to cow-tow to Chasin or Pragar. Now we will have an army at our disposal but Freya I will need you to accompany me. Do you have anyone you can trust on your former staff who can get some of your army behind you.?" Freya nodded that there was Jsamine who she trusted with her life who would help. Katherine said good and made plans to visit them tomorrow.
