Messengers

Just a few days had passed since the sending of the invitations to the restoration ceremony of the kingdom of Dalmasca, Lady Ashe had received answers from all, it was less than a month for the ceremony and everyone at court was busy to make that succeed. event at its best.

After a long time Dalmsaca was at the center of attention but turned positive. No one would have flown that chance would have been so profitable, there were so many guests coming from all over Ivalice.

The same emperor Larsa and other people who had helped Lady Ashe to free Dalmasca had come to the Dalmasca capital. No one was missing, some would have been late, but no one would certainly have skipped that event.

The only one who had not yet responded to the Princess's invitation was the Marquis Ondore, he had not let it be known, only that they were looking for some problems that had postponed the answer to come or not.

Ashe had been a little worried without Hondore the coronation ceremony could not be held, but there was still time before she despaired.

Not knowing how his uncle Halim was delaying in giving an answer, the young princess decided to seek advice on what to do.

All his dearest friends were summoned, someone was still missing, Vaan and Penelo were the first to arrive wondering why their beloved queen had called them promptly.

The same young Archadian emperor was bothered to make him fall, among the private rooms of the queen. The young Larsa with his trusted judge followed in haste to the news of the convocation.

Everyone was looking worried and worried, the same judge Gabranth seemed to quiver and not be quiet, he thought someone was proceeding to boycott that great event, decided as it was not to allow anyone to ruin this project.

The immense room in which they had been summoned was located in the north-eastern part of the castle, the terrace of the room gave a splendid show, on the royal gardens and on the entire city of Rabanaste.

The room was furnished fairly spartan compared to all the other sumptuous rooms, where every fresco or furnishing shone with Dalmasca glory. That last room even if sparta was very simple and sober as Princess Ashe, fully reflecting her personal tastes.

There were no excesses except flowers and some finely decorated furniture, the right one that gave liveliness to the whole environment.

Vaan and Penelo sat on two ebony wooden armchairs with sand-colored cushions embroidered with smoke-colored arabesques, while the young Larsa approached the terrace just a few steps out of the room where a good view reigned.

The judge had removed the heavy helmet of his armor resting on the table, following his young master. He remembered every room in that sumptuous palace even that room, even if he remembered well, it was not of the princess but of another member of the old royal family, he was surprised to have been summoned there.

The man looked at him well, until he saw the picture of Princess Ondine on one wall of the room, whose traces had been lost. I fixed that painting once more, until a woman's voice turned her face to the entrance of the room.

Lady Ashe stood at the entrance, a serene expression painted on her face and yet she could see something of anguish in his eyes, the judge did not waste time and asked his lady why he had to summon them.

-My lady what is the reason why you have summoned us? ... fear some sabotage? - Asked the judge with a strong voice while the princess shook her head.

-No there does not seem to be problems of this kind ... the problem is of a completely different nature.-

"Then what are you asking?" Vaan asked curiously.

-The Marquis Ondore has not yet made a concrete answer- Said the princess cutting short.-Without him you can not proceed to the coronation ... by generations who crown the successor to the throne.-

-You do not have to worry Lady Ashe everything will be resolved- The sweet voice of Penelo tried to cheer up the young queen.

Larsa, coming back from the terrace and listening to the princess's speeches, proposed to go to the Marquis Ondore to ascertain the reasons for her non-response.

-If you want Lady Ashe I could send someone from the Marquis Ondore to get an answer-

-I would like to go there myself, but my obligations prevent me. I had several messengers sent to Buijerba with him, but they all delivered the same answer. "

Ashe seemed all too concerned, it was really inexplicable such behavior on the part of the Marquis.

The Archadian judge, asking for permission to speak to Larsa, suggested that he himself go to see his situation in Ondore.

-You can not Basch, you're no longer in my service ... then your job is to protect Larsa, I'll try to send some knight order.- I protest young Ashe, but Larsa calmed her, telling her not to worry.

-Don't worry Lady Ashe, Gabranth knows how to do his duty, I will not run any danger if I'm here .. with me there is also Judge Zargabaath-

Ashe seemed doubtful enough, she did not want to make trouble, it did not take long to convince her. Having said that, Basch bowed, while Lady Ashe had an airship prepared and a message to be delivered to the Marquis D'abdance IV when he arrived in Buhjerba.
