Marina sighed, slumping against the couch. "I really, really hope that we made the right choice here." After feeling the sense of betrayal when they were captured, Marina had been a bit more pessimistic. Thankfully, Marco didn't betray them, but the girl just couldn't help but be wary of the Duchess who could suddenly turn against them.
"Just in case we don't, we might want to look for a backup here," Erik replied to the Atlantisian's statement.
"Didn't they say that the Princess and the King will be coming?" Marco asked, sitting on the couch, "We could use that time to escape since everyone would be distracted." "That's if we find something suspicious about the Duchess though."
"I'd usually say we should take no chances with this woman, but I'm pretty sure it's best we not get her on our tail, considering how high up she is," the Knight responded.
Zaria just listenen to the conversation between them. She thought back when somehow the queen calmed her down
Marina thought deeply, "If we find something suspicious about her, maybe we can ask the King and Princess to help us?" Marco's face turned grim, however. "I don't know if that would work... but that could be an option."
Zaria sighed. "Look im getting some sleep. om tired to think more abour this" as she went over to the bed. did her sword of her bely bit kept it close in bed. like hugging a bear
"I like to think that they are better people," Marina said, although Erik did make a point. Nodding to Zaria who retreated to her own room, she decided to go to bed for the day. "I guess we should get some rest now. Let's talk about it tomorrow when we get the chance."
With a quick nod to the others, Erik also made his way to his room. It was strange to think that just one search for his brother would end up like this. Maybe the whole thing was far crazier than he thought...
A new day dawned upon the team. Marina, who understood that the luxury they have right now comes with something in exchange, woke up from her sleep. She wasn't too excited about what they were going to do, but the Duchess comes with power and knowledge. Marina hopes that this power and knowledge will help them find Atlantis, as promised by the Duchess.
Zaria stood up and did her usual ritual and went back to the so called living room. She slightly yawned. Deciding to take a walk outside. Gazing around to see the maids prepare for the arrivel forthe king and Princess. Zaria didn't knew when they came but did see they were busy with it.
Erik followed his routine as well, and soon was back in the main room of their chambers. He'd been thinking about the whole situation the entire time, and still he wasn't able to understand it a single bit more.
@ChocoChicken A knock on the door alerted Marina as she stood up and replied with "Come in." As soon as the girl replied, the door to their chambers opened, revealing a man wearing formal Merlourn clothing. Dark green dominated his outfit, his coat donning designs that looked like vines but were colored gold. He wore golden glasses and had a pocket watch attached to his blazer. "Pleased to make your acquaintance," he spoke as he bowed, his voice carrying an elegant aura. "I am Rigel, her Grace's Advisor. I will be the one to organize your schedules by orders of the Duchess." @Tala The maids Zaria saw seem to be panicking as they try to move quickly from one place to another. A number of maids were carrying baskets filled with fruits and vegetables, while another group was carrying linen. There were also some maids tending to the flowers in the garden. Zaria could hear parts of what the maids were talking about, such as "King and Princess," "urgent matters," and "arriving today."
Zaria blinked and shook her head. At the same time she walked back inside. Seeing some guy inside. ''What is going on?'' she blinked
"Don't worry, it is not as formal as it sounds," Rigel spoke as he fully went inside the room. "It is more like helping you choose the location you will be purifying next so that we can prepare enough escorts." He then turned to Zaria who seemed confused. "I am Rigel, her Grace's Advisor. You really have not missed a lot." "If you have any questions regarding the duchy, I would be happy to answer them. Today will be a busy day, after all, with the King and Princess arriving sometime this afternoon."
