Zari is strong leader and has proved herself many times. Her fighting skills are widely known and many rumours of her fights have been told. She loves to have power and money but she's a strong and loyal ally – if you just pay her enough. But even if she loves money, she's making sure everyone gets their own cut. Most of the Kingdom's wealth she uses to maintain her army. She's also skillful when it comes to trading and bargaining. She's ready to fight to get the best possible deal for herself. Being open to both sides ensures she has the best chance to be on the winners side – or maybe even being the winner and getting the position she dreams about, The Queen Lion.

She's proud, and that makes her stubborn as well. She wants to have control over things. Manipulating people to work as she wants is, as she says herself, her hobby. She's also clever and sneaky. You can't always be sure if she's telling the truth to you, and she's not so concerned about right or wrong as long as it benefits her.

There is also a more caring side of her that is hidden deep inside her. She's always been taught to survive alone but in reality wouldn't mind if there was someone to take care of her. Even if Zari acts strong, she cares greatly of her people, trying to make sure they won't suffer in rash environment. She's especially concerned about her younger brother even if he's almost as good fighter as she is, but losing him would shake her world.

However she tends to get mad easily – especially when her plans don't work. Her short temper and amazing fighting skills are reasons why most of the people fear her. She often carries a claymore with her so pissing her off and your death might be only few seconds apart.

~ History ~"I wouldn't be Princess if I couldn't fight."
In her kingdom all that matters is good fighting and surviving skills. Living in the bare mountains with wild animals, they're vital conditions. As soon as the children turn seven, they're given their first weapon, usually a knife or bow. By the age of 15 they're expected to handle at least two different weapons and survive in the mountains alone. Zari was perfectly capable of doing this and even surpassed many of her age. She was able to fight barehanded, or use a bow, a knife or swords.

When the previous prince, who was Zaris father, passed away, there was a tournament in which the next ruler would be decided. The rules were simple: the next prince would be the one who doesn't lose, and if you lost your match you couldn't fight in another. Zari, however, couldn't stand the thought of her little brother Griffin taking the crown. Being sneaky, she waited until her brother had won most of the matches. Because "Princess of Leos" was unheard of, Zari took some armor to hide her face and hair. The battle was intense but after three hours she finally won. When she revealed her face the Leos were in shock. They didn't think a woman could rule a country - especially when it was 17 year old girl. There were many who challenged Zari to a duel and she has won every single one of them. She has shown that a woman can be a leader. After all, she has ruled the Leos nine years already.

~ Family ~"The death of my family will never be forgotten"
Aldrich Leo - Father and the previous Prince - deceased at age of 46 (when Zari was 17 years old)
Sanura Leo - Mother - murdered by Jafari at age of 26 (when Zari was 4)
Griffin Leo - Brother - 23
Jafari Rashid - Uncle from her mother's side - killed by Zari at the age of 38 (when Zari was 13)

~ Thoughts on Others ~"I'm not saying I'm better than them. However everyone has their weaknesses"

King Constellation "I'm grateful for all his help but I'm still not going to help him for free. Let's say it's payment for all those extremely bad dad-jokes."

Queen Stars "There's some things we think alike. However she's even too confident of herself and her powers. She should think carefully about hiring me, otherwise.... I might just go after her crown."

Aries "Strong leader, fighter and woman. Those are good qualities. Also I have to admit I have never forgotten the day we met"

Taurus "Calls herself a warrior but has never been in a war nor doesn't want to even get involved. I can't respect someone like that."

Gemini "It's so frustrating to talk with her. Because you can't actually talk to her. But I have to acknowledge that she's not stupid. Being mute and able to rule needs intelligent and quick witted person."

Cancer "I have only heard rumours of him. Would be interesting to meet him. Maybe have a match or two."

Leo "Me? The one you don't want to piss off."

Virgo "I don't really know that much about her. But the little I know... She seems boring. I doubt I even want to know her better."

Libra "An overly self-righteous idiot, annoying egoist who thinks he's funny, smug bastard, drunkard moron, a leech at his best and has less manners than the leeches in question. Actually calling him a leech is disrespectful towards leeches."

Scorpio "The new ruler has something even more shady going around him than the previous Prince. He will have to earn my trust before I continue business with his Kingdom."

Sagittarius "So full of herself."

Capricorn "He's not that bad. I can congratulate him for his success."

Aquarius "A bit of mystery to me even if we share a border. Somehow we haven't been in the same place at the same time. A true warrior and strong leader, someone I could spar with."

Pisces "Over-excited, way too cheerful and childish. Do you need to know more to realize I don't like her?"



The land of Leos

~Geography of land~"You need a tough shell to make it alive."
The land of Leos is in the middle of the mountain range - making it tough to survive in bare terrain and on cold nights, especially in winters. It's not rare to see people gathering to forges where fire is burning almost all day long. The castle itself is on the highest peak, and has sturdy stone walls that won't shatter when there's an earthquake. Most of the Leos live near castle for best supplies but there's training camps all over the kingdom.

The capital is also hard to reach - the mountain path there is long and most of it is a winding road. On horseback, it takes at least 5 hours to reach the high and sturdy walls of the castle - if the weather is in your favour. When raining, the roads quickly get slippery, and in winter they are covered in snow and ice. Landslides can also block the roads and you have to find another path around. However on foot and using shortcuts over the mountains it's possible to reach the castle faster - unless you run into cougars, bears or wild boars.

There's no forests or plains where you could have fields, and so getting enough food for the whole nation has always been a struggle. It's possible to grow some plants on the lower mountainsides where it's warmer and the ground has better fertility but it's not enough to produce food for everyone. Often Zari uses the kingdom's wealth to buy vegetables and fruits from other kingdoms. However when talking about meat - there's no shortage. There's many wild animals on the mountains as well as some streams where you can catch a fish or two.

~Military history~"Fighting is in our blood"
Given that the Capital of the Kingdom is hard to reach and has sturdy walls, their military isn't made for purely defending the castle. Since the ancient times Leos have always loved to fight, either with each other or someone else. They were ranked by their military skills and the ruler was always the one with most strength and strategic skill. Most importantly, good fighting skills were needed to defend oneself from the wild animals as well as to catch prey.

Some centuries ago, the current Prince was asked to help another kingdom in a fight. He saw it as an opportunity to grow Leos wealth and formed the first army of mercenaries. They won the battle and Leos reputation as an efficient army was quickly formed when their help was asked time after time. As so the Prince formed a larger army of mercenaries using the mountain area as an ideal training camp. Leos didn't only polish their fighting skills but their strength, speed and stamina when training on the tough terrain every day in any weather. Over the time more and more Leos wanted to join to army dedicating their life to fighting.

Nowadays every Leo can fight, loves to fight, follows orders and are loyal to their leaders. As a ruler, Zari is also the warlord guiding the captains of the smaller units. Even if the army is formed from the mercenaries, they usually won't get paid straight. Instead of the salary, Zari uses the large pay she gets to maintain the army as well as getting food resources. Surprisingly, not many is against this system since it's not only benefitting them but everyone in their family as well. For the upcoming war, Zari won't only provide an army to fight in front, she can also provide protection to other kingdoms.

~Culture~"We're proud to show our traditions"

Verasey, the Capital: The Capital of the Kingdoms of Leos is located up in the north, on the highest peak of the mountains. In Verasey, you can find the Castle where Zari lives, and most of the Kingdom's forges are also located there. Most of the Leos live in the capital so it's the busiest trading centre in Kingdom and from the marketplace you can find finest pieces of art: weaponry made by blacksmiths of Leos.

Steelbound Forges: One thing you can't miss while visiting the city is the large complex of the forges located near the castle. From early morning to late night the fire is burning in the heart of them; the sounds of hammer hitting in the metal echo all over. There's several smaller forges that each has a focus producing one item: one- or two-handed swords, shields, armor, spears or bows and arrows. Each blacksmith has a passion for their work and it can be seen from their accuracy and skill.

Colosseum: The grandest sight in their land is a Colosseum, built in ancient times when the Leos were fighting against each other. It's not built stone by stone but is actually carved in the mountains, so that the highest row of seats is in the same height as the rest of the land. The colosseum is extremely large and even with every Leo in there, it won't be even nearly full. It's located a bit further away from the castle to the east where the terrain is more flatter. Nowadays, it's used for the army training or fight shows when there's a duel. It's also used if someone outside the Kingdom wants to challenge a Leo since on uneven land the Leos usually have an advantage. It's also been used to keep large gatherings, for example, when the new ruler is crowned.

Misty Hallows, the Cemetery of the Fallen Warriors: Behind the Capital walls, where the last rays of sun are falling, is an old cemetery for the greatest fighters of the Leos. Buried there are the previous warlords, the highest ranked Captains and Princes among Zari's father, Aldrich Leo. Also it's the last place of rest for those Leos who have done a great, some could say even heroic, task for the Kingdom

So begins...

As the winds swept through in the forest, little is heard outside of the rush of the wind, and the forest seemed all but quiet. That is, also outside of what sounded like a pack of wolves, though, the sounds seem heavier than a normal pack of wolves, and upon a further analysis, it was a pack of Gemini Dire wolves, as they rushed forward along a path with their riders, towards the Aquarian capitol, leading was a rather large man on a wolf, his features were rather old, a gray beard could be seen from under his hood, judging by just his facial features, one could tell that he was middle-aged, his hood didn't fully cover his face, and one could see a full mustache with the beard, along with that there was a single scar across the left side of his face, before being covered by his beard. He looked back, as Elaine had called,

"Arturus. How far out are we?" the wind had blown through, those were the words that were heard as the man looked back, trusting his wolf, whom matched him with a grey fur coat over the wolf's body, though this one had a name, Herein, though the man responded, his gruff voice could easily be heard over anything else, he almost smiled while speaking,

"We're about an hour away, Kiddo." he said, while others would be yelled at by Elaine for even so much as calling Elaine in such a disrespectful manner, Arturus could get away with it simply for his age, skill, and he and Elaine have a close bond. After Lady Ikarii had died, Arturus had taken Elaine under his wing and more or less took the role as her guardian and personal shield, in memory of the woman he loved. Moving along, Arturus spoke again, this time with a little more serious tone, "Are you sure asking Aries was the best idea? I mean they've allied with the Queen and all."

"I did what I thought would be the best. Aries hosts a large military and a strong one at that. I understand your concern, but at the moment, we have to protect the people before anything. I've declared Neutral and asked for aid, since our Military, while good in Gemini, isn't in the same league as Aries." the wind replied in several fragments, Elaine knew that the winds here were messing with her control, which limited her. Though with that, it got silent again, and remained that way for the hour that they were running.

Upon arrival at Ai Haneul, Elaine nodded, looking at Arturus, whom walked with her as they entered the Asa House, her coat and hair covered by the snow which was kicked up mainly from the wolves as they ran. Though before Elaine and Arturus entered, in a more fatherly gesture, he brushed the snow off Elaine, and with a smile, he spoke, "Can't have our little Princess looking like she went and played in the snow, now can we?" as he said that, Elaine kinda pouted, though had fun building a snowman, the main reason why they're late being that Elaine literally stopped everything to play in the snow for a little bit, leaving behind three snowmen and several Snow Fairies in the snow, before moving out again. Brushing that thought aside, Elane gently walked in with a gust of wind flowing with her, with it, she spoke, gently,

"My apologies for our lateness. For, we were delayed by the snow. It is a pleasure ti see you again, Aquarius, and Leo."





Further into the south, wolves are heard here too, a smaller dispatchment moved through the tall grass of Libra's plains, following Flare, the falcon had circled overhead where the Arian camp was, and the wolves moved faster, with Minna on one of them, she looked back at another rider, he looked a lot like Arturus in face and body, though had the difference in he was much younger, and had no scar. As he looked at Mineczka she spoke, "Enick, bank off slightly to the right. Ensure that the Aries soldiers are safe, I don't want any of them getting hurt. If Librans are here, tell them we're here to meet a dispatchment we sent."

"Got it." Enick replied before his wolf moved slightly to the right. As Mineczka moved she crossed through the grass, though not to her surprise, her wolf leapt into the air, well over what Mineczka noticed were the Arian troops, as they landed she spotted Prince Caesar of Libra, This just got worse.... she thought as a bead of sweat rolled down her face, the five others outside of Enick had caught up with plenty of wolves, Mineczka nodded, looking at whom she guessed was the Arian commander, and Caesar, and spoke, her tone sounding official as she could in her exhaustion,

"I am Mineczka, Captain of the guard of Gemini. I am here to meet the Arian dispatchment to aid them to Gemini. I apologize for the lack of notice, Prince Caesar, we are doing all we can at the moment. And to whom I'll guess is the Arian captain, sent to aid Gemini, I have brought extra dire wolves for you, since, you must be exhausted." Mineczka nodded, looking at the other wolves whom were trained well. While the situation wasn't the best, it wasn't exactly the worse either, then again, this was involving another country after all.

Sterling listened cautiously to the woman's words. Perhaps, she misheard him? It didn't matter, considering he'd be discussing such a plan with only the Princess of Leo. He had heard that Gemini had finally been spotted in his Kingdom a few moments after the doctor had left. "Well, we don't have long, but I want this plan of sorts, this deal, strictly between us. No other. Consider it an oath, or a blood deal until this flimsy excuse for a war is over." He started strongly, his left arm draping over his knee, sword balanced and slanted against the left cravis of his neck and his left foot.

"You see, like I said a few minutes ago, it is for another Kingdom. I'm afraid Aquarius will no longer be able to perform their duty to protect Virgo in order to go through with this Plan. If you'd allow this discussion to continue in private later, the general details are this, and I'll be damned if I don't give this a good expansion in private, but the gist is to protect the Princess and Kingdom, while we both spy within the sides we choose for additional details on whoever attacked our Kingdoms. If it's what I think it is, there's bound to be someone, somewhere that knows."

His voice fell, and there was few more moments before the Princess of Gemini and her escort entered the room. Beautiful as ever, it appeared he was in a room filling up with quite the attractive guests. Of course, he still respected them highly or lowly depending on skill and rulings. It was nice to be able to discuss things with almost everyone together... But there was still that darn Princess Taurus. Tch, it might end up being an entire day before they got anywhere in this meeting. No wonder they were so... boring from what he's heard.

"Princess Gemini, it's nice to see you. Please have a seat. Your companion as well." With him at the head of the table, and Zari to the left seat closest to him, there were about six more seats, just in case everyone had brought a companion. It was clear there wouldn't be that many empty spots besides the one next to Zari. Even if their back hurt, however, the floor cushions didn't provide the back support they'd unfortunately need. "If any of you need another seat, please let me know. Now, we're just missing the Princess of Taurus."

Now came the question of trying to start off a meeting that was still missing a participant. "Shall we start without her?"

Even if she did show, no more than one other person would be able to accompany her inside the Asa House. It was simply polite, anyway. The rest of them would be allowed and able to stay in one of the other notable locations of the capital under strict supervision.

They could trust the Leos, due to the small amount, but it were the Gemini people and all those who came with more then three that could trigger another Clan's rage.

Princess Zari Leo

Zari listened as the Prince Aquarius spoke. She couldn't be noticing how he was holding his sword, close to him and in a position it would be relatively easy to draw out in case of attack. He clearly had prepared to everything. When he had finished she nodded sharply in understanding. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have understood Princes Virgo has sided with Queen. And I agree with you that someone must know about the attacks and I have my own reasons to believe it's someone from Queen's side so this opportunity is a good way to find more information. But do not understand wrong, that's not a problem. I will make sure the deal will be taken care of properly and no one else will know about this." She looked straight at Sterling's eyes - or eye in this case - as she spoke to prove she wasn't hesitating or going to back off or betray him. She wasn't bothered by his missing eye in the slightest, she wasn't feeling sorry for him. The man had proven himself to Zari and everything else was irrelevant.

"However I must admit I'm surprised for your proposal. I haven't been aware of this contract of protection between you and Kingdom of Virgo you just referred to. And let me say this job you're offering is to my liking." She was speaking firmly but with a hint of excitement. For one it was sure to give her opportunity to slash a head or ten and for second getting information of the moron going against the Kingdoms and maybe having a chance to slash the head of the person. She then placed her right hand over her heart and bowed to him while sitting. Since she had already sat down she saw no point in standing up again. She wasn't doing from disrespect. It was just her style to act. Just like she preferred bowing instead of curtseys and armor over dresses. "The Leos are in your service." she said politely and respectful. The demeanor of the Prince Aquarius was telling her he was serious about doing business with her and as so was no hesitating to pay. That was why she was agreeing before the negotiation of the pay was done. "We will talk about pay and details later."

Just as she had said that Princess Gemini walked in. "Ah, Princess Gemini, pleasure to meet you." Zari bowed slightly. She bowed out of manners, but not really from respect like for Sterling. She admitted that Princess was a good leader but that was all she saw in her. And coming in with a companion would have made her roll her eyes but the manners she had been taught prevented her from doing it. She would also have preferred to continue the business with the Prince.

As Elaine sat down and Sterling asked to start with the meeting Zari leaned back on her chair. "I'd say yes." She didn't explain herself. Just answered straight to question.

Tuliza Winden
Current personality: ”Nature lover”


Tuliza was trying to keep herself together focusing her thoughts on Queen. She was surprised to hear Princess Virgo's kind words. Or at least Tuliza assumed she had meant them in kind way. It was a encouraging sentence in the atmosphere filled with dark and bloody plans. The thought of war was something she couldn't handle well and knowing that was exactly what was the subject in the room. She was hoping she had gone to find one of her cats before coming in and taken it with her so she could have had something nice to hold onto. As the Queen asked her to serve the berries Tuliza made another curtsy. "Of course my Queen." she said and turned towards Prince Cancer as he was the first one to ask for them.

That was a mistake. She froze in her place the basket shaking even more now. Despite she had seen Theon many times before facing his deep eyes staring at her was causing her memories to come back in her mind. In captivate, taken advantage by the bandits in every way possible, and getting hit daily if she made the slightest mistake, not even getting to eat every day. The pictures flashed in her mind one after another. She was breathing rapidly but knew she had to do her job and avoid getting panic attack. She took another careful step closer to him. "Come on now, you can do this. It's not like you hadn't seen him earlier." she was telling her in her mind. But then as she was offering the strawberries to him she made the mistake of looking in his eyes again and that's was when her mind broke down. In front of her was now standing the lead of the bandits, staring her with the golden eyes and in the background she barely heard Alexi's words. "guts to kill --- threatened --- I must kill him --- no hesitations --- obstacle in way"

Suddenly the tears filled her eyes as she was shaking hard and stumbled backwards falling on the floor the basket dropping down and the berries spreading all over the floor. "P-Please, don't hit me. I'm s-sorry. Please, I'm sorry. I'm sorry." she was repeating herself talking quietly and scared all while still watching Theon as she was crawling further away from him. Expect she wasn't seeing Theon or anyone else in the room. She was alone with a bandit leader that wouldn't hesitate to kill her and there was nothing she could protect herself with. Nothing but her begging words.

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. β€œI want you to wait here while I speak with the others.” Bevan immediately started to argue. β€œAbsolutely 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. β€œThat 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. β€œBevan 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. β€œI 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.

Elaine bowed as she took her coat off, as to say "It's a pleasure" to both before sitting gently on the seat, moving her fragile wings gently, keeping her balance as she sat onto the floor cushion, though Arturus shook his head, smiling a little he responded to Sterling, "I appreciate the offer of sitting with the like of you all, but I'm no good in politics. I'll remain outside for y'all." he remarked with his gruff voice resounding through the room before he opened the door to exit. Though Elaine remained, looking rather calm in demeanor, she looked for said Sign Language translator so she wouldn't have to use her magic all the time, though as Princess Taurus was entering, Elaine bowed her head again, as a hello to the new entrant. Though Taurus wasn't exactly someone whom Elaine had constant contact with, she knew the princess of Taurus was an alright person, though Elaine took a breath as the wind swirled through, and a voice through it had spoken,

"It would seem Princess Taurus is here." the wind said whilst Elaine gave a gentle smile, noting that the meeting would begin soon.




Mineczka nodded, responding in a more respectful tone to Prince Libra, "Lady Elaine has deemed Gemini a neutral country. We have no quarrel with Libra. And our wolves are trained around Gemini's crop. They aren't going to damage the crop of Libra. Secondly, I had thought I had sent a messenger to request permission to transfer the Arians through your kingdom." she paused, with an annoyed sigh, Mineczka wasn't one whom liked when people didn't listen, "But it appears that said messenger had not come. And I apologize for the trespassing, and I'm sure Lady Elaine will send a more... Formal apology." Mineczka took a breath again before looking at Draco, her calm demeanor resonating through her troops and wolves, "As for you, Miss Draco, I've brought extra wolves, and if Prince Libra is kind enough, I can get you and your troops to Gemini much faster than you can on foot. The wolves are trained and adapted to new riders, so do not fret that you cannot ride them.

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.
