Tayia nodded sadly. How could she find a man whose been hiding for so long? who no doubt has a bounty on his head? How could she get him to come to the palace if she could find him? Surely, he holds no loyalty to this court or any other for that matter but Grimes and Fernain are known allies. He would probably see little difference. She raked her brain. Then it struck her.
"I have an idea but I can not speak on the details." She told the Queen. Then went the Queen asked for food, Tayia nodded. "Oh, Of Course. Whilst you eat, I will see about my plan but again, I can not tell you the details in which how I'll find this Demon of Grimes. My home is yours. I'll have a chamber prepared for you as well as supper." She told her and then excused herself.

She instructed a guard to retrieve a chambermaid and alert the chefs that the Queen of Grimes was ready for supper and the made her way to Masenai.

He could locate the Demon of Grimes. The Crystal blessed her people with his assistance so prehaps he would assist in this search. She would accompany him of course. She'll have a doppleganer to take her place while she scoured the land for the Demon. Prehaps even take out a few demons herself like she'd been wanting to since the day her brother died. She stopped short just at the door again. She had to go in. No one else knew he even existed let alone was in the Prince's chambers. She had to.
She placed her hand on the door and pushed.

The scent of her brother filled her nose and her heart. She didn't even know she had her eyes closed until she opened them. She looked around. Everything seemed relatively untouched. She could be in here for hours she realised and the irony in that tickled her a bit. She avoided this room for so long but now that she entered it, she didn't want to leave. She looked up to see her brother standing over a tea kettle.
"Tavin?" She breathed, her eyes blinking rapidly. Finally her vision corrected itself and Tavin's image morphed into that of Masenai.
Tears had fallen down her cheeks before she could even think. "I'm sorry. I-I..." She stammered embarrassed by that fact that she'd called Masenai her brother, that she thought he was there,standing before her the way that he did when he was curious. She felt sick in her stomach and she wanted to crawl in a hole and waste away. Some Queen she'd be.
