CHAPTER 2

Ike was sleeping like usual, and everyone already was awake, except for Mist and Ike.

Knock Knock.

Ike and Mist reacted to the sound from the door and stood from the bed. Mist reached the knob and opened the door.

"Good morning you two" Rhys said. "We are already ready to go to the castle"

"Yeah, yeah, we're coming" Ike said, rubbing his eyes and letting a huge yawn. He stood from the bed...again, and went to the hallway. He looked to the opposite side of the stairs and saw Rolf talking with a really big man he had seen before.

"Tauroneo!" Ike shouted. The man looked at Ike and waved his hand.

"Hello Ike. So you stayed here for the night?" Tauroneo asked.

"Yeah. You too?"

"Not really. I work here. Largo and I talked about it after the war ended, and we decided to open this inn, together with Calill."

"Talking about Calill, where is she? I haven't see her since we arrived last night, even then, we only heard her voice." Ike said.

"No. I haven't seen her. Well, goodbye Ike, goodbye little Rolf, I have to go to a meeting" And with that he left.

"So, shall we leave now?" Rolf said to Ike. Ike nodded and they both went downstairs.

"Well, the castle gates are open. Let's go" Mist said, commanding her horse to advance, followed by everyone else.

The castle frontyard looked the same it was when they battled Ashnard, except there were fountains in every corner and a lot of trees. Ike and company went toward the front door, waving their hands to the soldiers that watched the castle.

"General Ike" A blue-haired woman appered behind one of the doors. It had a white dress and a sword.

"Lucia!" Mist said. She run towards her and hugged her.

"Hi Mist. Long time no see" Lucia happily said. Then she looked at the others and her face grew serious. "General Ike. The Queen has a very important thing to discuss with you. Please, follow me"

She walked towards the large hallway towards the Throne room. Sitting on the throne was the ruler of Crimea: The Queen Elincia.

"My Lord Ike, everyone. I'm too happy to see you." The Queen stood and bowed. Then she looked at Ike and saw he had a familiar look on his face.

"Queen, I believe I told you how did I feel when you bowed, and besides, I don't think you should be bowing. I think that is the thing WE should do. Not the Queen" Ike said. Elincia looked at him and giggled.

"My lord Ike, you know that it does not matter that I'm a Queen, I do it because I want to, and I believed we would stop doing formal things between us. We're friends."

A red blush appeared in Ike face. He was about to say something but someone had other thing on his mind.

"Ahem" Soren said. "I remeber that your friend, Lucia, said you had some important things to discuss. Would you mind telling us what is it?"

Elincia face changed from happy to serious in a second. "Oh...yes. Sorry about that Master Soren"

She sat at her throne again and looked at Ike and company.

"I have recived a letter from King Caineghis. It doesn't tells me about what happened but he says it's serious. I have a bad feeling about this, but I think it has to do with Prince Reyson and Princess Leanne" Elincia stood from the throne. " He say that if we can go to gallia to talk with him...Do you think you can do that?"

"Of course, besides, I promised Reyson I'd visit him. We need to make preparations. Soren! Titania! Ready?"

"Yes Commander" Both said.
