Savona Chapter

You are the Duchess of Mnend and right after the Court Duel, you're going to court for the first time.

***

You ran through the woods with a riding tunic on (a golden brown tanktop and golden brown pants) and you heard your sister criticize you for not wearing any shoes but they, you liked the freedom of being barefooted and besides, you're the duchess of the castle so there. You ran into the road to get home; however a carriage showed up with the Astiar colors and you stood on the side and watched it pass you and you show a lady with long golden-red hair and thought, "So this must be the famous Meliara Astiar who saved the whole kingdom and captured the heart of the future king." Then you remembered that they were going to your house, so you ran back into the woods and tried to get to your house before the carriage did but you failed miserably and arrived to find everyone waiting for you in the library. As you started to walk into the room (with your shoes on-well riding boots), your sister stopped you and tried to get you to change into something more presentable but you smiled at her and passed straight in.

The future kind laughed and said, "So you're the infamous duchess of Mnend, who spends half of the day running in the woods and learning the secrets of the Hill folk."

Your eyes twinkled with mirth and you mock saluted the marquis. Suddenly a man with a powerful built, long waving hair, and a rakish smile came into the room and said, "Dear cousin have you forgotten that she is also an expert at politics, according to many of your most trusted advisors."

You recognized this man as the Duke of Savona then you laughed and said, "Only in the matters of rebellion and horse racing." The whole room burst into laughter and the Duke asked, "Are you saying that it was not you, my dear duchess, that helped the Count of Orbanith plan a tax plan to make his people more happy and at the same time gain more money?"

You nodded and asked the people sitting in the room, "Please tell me why you are here, I know that there must be some sort of political affair for this isn't just a friendly visit."
