The journey was very long for Evelina. She really didn't talk that much during the trip but did look at the surroundings as they left the bitter cold of the north. Eve had never been to a warmer climate and hoped she could adapt to it. Of course as topsy turvy her world had been recently, she had to keep reminding herself she was still Eve and just because she was a princess, it didn't mean she had to change anything about herself. The times she did talk to the guard that was with her, she had tried to learn as much about her new home as possible. Evelina learned she was the eldest of several girls and was separated from her sisters right after the youngest had been born. That meant she was the heir to the throne. She honestly didn't know how she would respond to her sisters for she had nothing but brothers. And the idea of being the heir didn't scare her for some reason. She was already a stubborn, strong-willed person, being a royal might be a good thing for her. Still, she shouldn't presume anything. She already did that and paid for it.

After several days, they arrived in the capital and Eve had never seen anything like it. It was so different from her home that she couldn't help but gap. It suddenly dawned on her that she would be living here. A part of her wanted to panic because it was a bit of a culture shock. The warm weather didn't help much. Much of the clothes she had was made of thick clothing but the guard assured her that they would get her lighter clothing to wear. It took them awhile to arrive at the palace and once again Evenline was surprised. The palace was so grand! She honestly thought she was dreaming. It became very real though when the carriage stopped and the door opened up where the guard offered her a hand. Eve was still stuck in her own little world that the guard had to address her to snap her out of her reverie.

"Sorry." she replied before placing her hand in his and got out.

A man approached her and bowed.

"Greetings your highness. Welcome home and I hope you had a pleasant trip." he said.

"It was nice." Evelina replied.

"This way, I will take you to your parents." he said.

Dante had traveled to the capital city and before entering, transform into his human form. His scarlet red hair was eye catching to say the least. He did this on purpose for he wanted to catch his prey to notice him. At the same time though he wanted to keep a low enough profile to not be seen as a threat. Walking into the capital, he drew plenty of attention for no one had seen him before. He eventually made his way to the castle and made it just as the first princess arrived. Walking through the gates he asked where he find the place to sign up as a guard. He needed as much opportunity as possible to get close to the princess he was charged with retrieving. As soon as he got to the place he needed to get to, he had simply asked if he could join the castle guard. The person in charge questioned him and when he was satisfied, he asked another guard to help him get started. Dante remained silent for the most part, but when he did speak he was very polite. It would do him no good to be rude.
