Thalia glanced at Locien when her brother replied to Queen Serai. Wait, I think Cildur is going to want to have Locien fight the Queen. He may be the best swordsmen here and he could win, but she would want to court him if he wins… She pushed her thoughts away as the last thing she thought caused her to feel what she assumed to be annoyance. Thalia was not sure why she felt annoyed, but she ignored the feeling. She just took in a slow deep breath, asked to be excused, and left the inn. Thalia decided a walk in the woods would relax her.

Later in the evening as they neared the Queen’s palace Thalia still couldn't help, but feel annoyed. The walk she took earlier did not help at all. Though she kept herself looking calm as she watched the clouds in the sky. I shouldn’t feel annoyed about the Queen courting Locien if that does happen. He is going to out live her, why would she want to court him? He is going to leave with us anyways once we finish here...he can't just leave us to stay with her if he wins. His Foster Father said he would be helping us so he wouldn't be able to to stay with the Queen. What if she wants to join us if Locien wins? A quiet sigh escaped her lips as she began to space out as they got closer and closer to the palace's entrance. Thalia was a few feet behind group as she kept a slow pace.
