"I'm glad that you have. I was worried that you wouldn't accept it." Said Angara.
"I've done as much thinking on it as I could, and I'd still be thinking about it if I didn't just do it. I don't know if I can, but if I don't try, I won't know." Said Tygra.
"That's one way to think about it." Said Angara.
Liren returned with the glass of water for Tygra, when he heard Lady Angara ask Tygra if he was sure. Tygra replied that he was very sure. Angara smiled, then noticed Liren.
"Liren, seems like everything will be good now." Said Angara.
"Really, my lady. How is that?" Liren asked.
"Prince Tygra has accepted the position as the new Noble of the West." Said Angara.
"That's great news. Now the Nobility is strong again." Said Liren.
"Yes." Said Angara.
"I don't understand." Said Tygra.
"Whenever there is a vacant seat on the council we are a bit weakened. Once the position is filled the council is strong, and that makes the Center kingdom even stronger than it is now." Said Angara.
Tygra thought about it, and it soon made sense. Angara then asked if Liren could have Wren gather his men, and meet at the front of the barracks. Liren said that he would do that right away. Angara thanked him, and then told Tygra to follow her. Tygra followed Angara out of the garden, and towards the West residence. When they reached the front door, he waited for Angara.
"This is your residence. I can only enter with permission of the Noble, to whom this residence belongs to." Said Angara.
Tygra then reached for the doorknob, and turned it. He opened the door, and bowed Lady Angara inside. There was a maid coming down the stairs, and she stopped when she seen Lady Angara. Angara then told the maid that the cat with her was the new Noble of the West. The maid then asked if she should get Breen. Tygra then said that would be great, the maid then went off to find Breen.
Breen was in the kitchen listening to the cook's complaints. Gemma walked into the kitchen, and up to Breen.
"Breen, I need to tell you something." Said Gemma.
"Listen here, little missy; Breen is dealing with me right now. You're just going to have to wait your turn." Said Oona.
"I'm not the one who wants him. The Noble wants him." Said Gemma.
"Can't be our Noble, because he was laid to rest a few days ago." Said Oona.
"Lady Angara is here with another cat, and she said that he was the new Noble." Said Gemma.
The kitchen went quiet; everyone west still, and were also looking at Gemma. Breen then asked if she heard correctly, and Gemma said yes. Breen then turned to Oona, and told her to gather the kitchen staff. Gemma then said that she'd gather the rest of maid staff. He said good, and then went to see Lady Angara. Breen quickly walked down the halls, and soon arrived in front of Lady Angara and Tygra.
"Lady Angara, I've as quickly as I could." Said Breen.
"Breen, I would like to introduce you to the new Noble of the West, Tygra." Said Angara.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, my lord." Said Breen.
"It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Breen." Said Tygra.
"Breen, I would like you to gather the staff so that I may introduce Lord Tygra." Said Angara.
"Already taken care of. I have sent a couple members of the staff to gather the rest." Said Breen.
"I think you've been learning a few things from Ventin." Said Angara.
"Yes, my lady." Said Breen.
He then said that he had to make sure that the guards were told. Angara said that she had told Wren the Captain of the West guard to wait by the barracks for them. Breen then asked about the ones that will stay here when Lord Tygra goes back to the west. Angara then asked if he would be kind enough to inform them to join the others at the barracks. Breen then said right away, and then left to carry out what Lady Angara asked of him. Tygra was wondering what she meant by when she inferred that he was learning from Ventin. But instead of thinking it to himself, he asked her about it.
