At dawn the next day Silvestra left Iradena accompanied by her brother and his eight chosen soldiers. The journey leaving Taurus was pleasant as always though a bit fast paced, Silvestra anticipating the rest of their journey might take longer with the current conditions. During the beginning of the journey Silvestra questioned whether she should really be going to Aquarius but quickly shook of her doubts, knowing it was the right choice. It taking only a few hours to leave Taurus the rest of their day was spent traveling through Gemini. Much to Silvestra's surprise they were only stopped twice in Gemini, causing Silvestra to assume Princess Gemini had known they would pass through Gemini on their way. Despite their lack of interruptions Silvestra quickly grew sick of the journey as Bevan decided to use the time to lecture Silvestra about how bad of an idea it was to have left Taurus. While she knew he made a few good points Silvestra tried her best to block him out.

The second day of traveling started in Gemini but they soon reached the border and crossed into Aquarius, Silvestra taking in the scenery as it changed from grassy fields to the snowy terrain of aquarius. As they started their journey through the snow covered mountains and forests Silvestra was amazed. Despite it being spring it was as cold as Taurus mid-winter and there was much more snow, what Silvestra assumed was at least two feet.
At one point of their snowy forest trek Silvestra stopped and jumped off her horse, intending to walk in the snow for a bit, but sunk in waist deep, managing to have found a dip in the ground that had filled with snow. Stuck, Silvestra had to be pulled out by Bevan and a few of the laughing soldiers. Glaring, Silvestra remounted her horse, refusing to dismount again despite Bevan’s attempts to get her to.

Not having realized how much the snow would slow them down they had to stop at a Tsukiya village. Leaving, once again, at dawn they arrived at Ai Haneul mid-day. Stopping at an inn on the way to the residence of Prince Sterling, Silvestra paid for a handful of rooms for her men and, much to her brother's disbelief, insisted upon leaving five of the eight guards at the inn. Having to hear about it the entire way through the city Silvestra could feel her patience crumbling under her like an old bridge. Reaching the Asa residence, which was extremely beautiful her opinion, Silvestra's party was greeted in the courtyard by who Silvestra assumed was the steward. Speaking in the Aquarian language Silvestra greeted the man, thanked him for meeting them, and requested if her men could be brought somewhere to wait until the meeting was over. Surprised by her ability to speak his language the man nodded and got someone to bring them to the barracks. After a ten minute argument with her brother the three men left with two Aquarian soldiers, chatting amiably.

Once they were gone the steward offered to lead the way to the room where the Prince and other Princesses were meeting, assuring her that her horses and belongings would be taken care of. Looking down at herself she sighed at the dress she wore and rolled her eyes before nodding and thanking the man. Being intimate with her distaste of dresses Bevan had insisted she change at the inn and though she had picked the plainest of the dresses Silvestra had forgotten to supervise when Kareen packed her clothes and therefore even the plainest dress wasn’t as comfortable as her usual pants and blouse. Following the man she asked him questions about Aquarian culture and for tips on her pronunciation. Reaching the room he moved to open the door but she stopped him and asked him for a moment alone and he nodded and walked down the hall. Turning to Bevan Silvestra led him back to the end of the hall. “I want you to wait here while I speak with the others.” Bevan immediately started to argue. “Absolutely not! I will not let you be alone in there!” Turning away Silvestra shook her head and started back towards the room, trying to keep hold of her patience. “That wasn’t a request Bevan it was an order.” Following her Bevan reached out to grab her and Silvestra spun on him, not noticing they were so close to the door. “Bevan just shut the hell up and listen for once! I am going into that room alone and you will stay where I tell you! I am sick of you not following orders just because you are my brother! Go and wait at the end of the hall or go back to Taurus and make yourself useful!” Turning Silvestra noticed the door was right behind her and winced, hoping she wasn’t as loud as she thought she had been. Approaching the door Silvestra sighed and took a deep, calming breath before opening the door and walking into the room. Looking around she noticed Aquarius, Gemini , and Leo all in the room and smiled. “I am quite sorry for my lateness, the situation in Taurus is rather strenuous at the moment.” After a pause Silvestra closed the door behind her and then walked into the room, making sure to seem like incident in the hall had never happened.

Princess Zari Leo

As Elaine's bodyguard left from the room Zari's expression did not change seemingly not paying any attention to it. However she had to admit it was a wise desicion was it Elaine's orders or the guard's own. It would make this discussion to stay inside the room and only between the rulers more likely.

Zari turned to look as she heard familiar sound behind the doors. She immediately understood what was going on as she gathered a few words from here and there. She had made business and deals with Princess Taurus in several occasions and had met Bevan almost every time despite if she had been there or if Silvestra had come to her Kingdom. Zari had never really appreciate that way of work, as often it seemed Bevan made the decision for his sister. She had always thought Silvestra was under his feet which definitely hadn't made Zari respect her highly. As Princess Taurus stepped in, Zari bowed to her again from manners. "Pleasure to see you again, Princess Taurus." Those with keen eyes might notice she bowed a little deeper to her than to Elaine mostly just because they had done business. In reality she was just waiting Bevan to burst into room after the Princess. At least he would make her tell every slightest detail to him later. In Zari's opinion either Bevan should leave Silvestra alone or Silvestra should give the throne to him. Now there was two rulers for one Kingdom and it wasn't working.

"May we start now?" she looked at Prince Sterling as waiting his agreement but not waiting his answer. It might have been rude from her but seeing as he was already ready to start the meeting without Taurus, she assumed he wouldn't be offended. She turned to look at the others. "I assume you all have got my letter, but let me do a quick recap. My main target right now is to find the moron who attacked to my Kingdom and according to my knowledge to yours as well. If any of you have information of these events or the person behind them I would appreciate if you're willing to share them. And as mentioned in my letter for those able to share pieces of information with me, no matter how small, I will keep my word and offer you a discount for my services in the upcoming war. And my services are pretty much limitless when it comes to war zone. I can offer my military for defense or offence as well as armory and weapons. And it's not limited to only one Kingdom, I can split my army for all those of you who wish to take this deal. " Her voice was formal, one of a business woman's. It wasn't anywhere near the slightly enthusiastic voice she had had with Sterling and she didn't give the slightest hint of their deal, telling her side of business like it would still be open - and for her it was. The pay and details were still open and as long as there wasn't black on white it would stay partly open.

"Oh and one more thing. Even if that person would happen to be someone close to you, I don't hesitate to kill them." She spoke perfectly calmly looking all three of them but there was a deeper meaning hidden behind her words. She wouldn't hesitate to kill even if it was one of the rulers sitting in the room with her.
