"Yes, my lady." Said Theo.

The guards moved away, but soon a lone cat came out of the dark, and Angara gave him her bow and arrows. The cat said he would make a couple of arrows to put back in the quiver. Angara stopped, and turned to him; she told him that dusk had fallen, and he should be home with his family. The cat said that they wouldn't mind, and Angara said she would. The cat looked at Angara for a moment longer, and the cat bowed. He said he'd put the bow and arrows away, and then go home. Angara smiled, and then walked away. When they moved into the palace, Tia came rushing to them.

"My lady, I'm so glad you're home safe. And who might our guests be?" Tia asked.

"You know the Council members. This is Lord Lion-O and his friends." Said Angara.

"But I thought that." Tia said before getting cut off by Angara.

"I know. I thought the same, but when the siege of the Center Kingdom happened, Lord Claudus must have been killed by Mum-Ra." Said Angara.

"I am so sorry my Lord Lion-O, and Prince Tygra." Said Tia.

"Thank you." Said Lion-O.

Angara then started to walk away, when Tia spoke up about the meal. Angara said that she was going check on something, and to let the others begin eating. Then she told Tia to have three other staff members set up rooms for her guests. Tia said ok, and turned to the others; she told them to follow her. Lion-O was still looking up the stair case that Angara had gone up. He was wondering what was going to happen next; he then felt a tapping on his shoulder, and turned to see Tygra standing there.

"Come brother, you can't gain what she isn't willing to give. Besides we're in her home, we should show respect, and wait." Said Tygra.

"Tygra, I'm going to take a guess that just saying that I'm the king isn't going to change her mind." Said Lion-O.

"I'm afraid not. Now let's go, I'm starving; we haven't had anything nice like this since we left our home." Said Tygra.

Lion-O, and Tygra soon entered the dining room, and sat down. Once the food was served, and everyone was eating, Pumyra had noticed that Lion-O was just picking at his food.

"Don't worry Lion-O, for as long as I've known Angara, she's always acted like that. She's just dealt with a lot of cats that would use her for their own interests so much that she doesn't trust or give it very easily." Said Pumyra.

"So how would I earn something like that?" Lion-O asked.

"At this moment; I don't know. When the time comes you'll know what to do, and that is when Angara will except you as king, and that is when she'll begin to trust you." Said Pumyra.

"Thanks." Said Lion-O.

Lion-O didn't know what to think, he had to earn his right as king in Angara's eyes. But what he didn't know was how do it, or when that would be. Before long Tia came back, and said that their rooms were ready. As they were led off to their rooms, Lion-O wanted to know everything he needed to get Angara to trust him. In the morning Angara got three of her staff to wake the Nobles up, and inform them of a meeting. Once the Nobles were up, and dressed; they went to the council chamber. When they arrived, Angara was already there.

"Morning sister." Said Bengali.

"Morning." Said Angara.

"Should the king not be here?" Pumyra asked.

"I think he should be here as well." Said Lynx-O.

"I don't. He maybe the king in name, but he is not a king where he needs to be." Said Angara.

"Why don't you let him show you what kind of king he can be." Said Bengali.

"Perhaps another time. We haven't had a council meeting in many years, and I would like to get a feel for what has happened." Said Angara.

Each Noble told Angara about what has happened since they were sent out among the forest, and the people. Bengali then asked why they didn't find her, or why she wasn't the one to bring the Nobles together. Angara said that Claudus wanted her to stay behind because of a vision Jaga had. He was concerned, and wanted someone to make sure that Lion-O and the others were able to escape. Bengali had chuckled, and Angara had asked him what was so funny. He quickly collected himself, and said that nothing was funny.
