Alexia 'arrived' in the dining hall. Despite the poisoning the had occurred a day ago It had still retained it's divine grace and posture.
Unlike the before though, Their were far less people in it, Only about 50 plus people in fact.
Half of which were tinnish royal guardsmen, They had a Brown grenadier outfit with Light sabers at their side. On their chest they had the emblem of tin land which was the 'Brown ladybug' on their arms.
But something else caught Alexia's eye, Something silver and brown that all of the tinnish guards we're holding. It looked like a rod with several mechanisms on the side and a trigger at the end.
Alexia: Huh.
Petunia: Darling!
From across the room Petunia approached alexia.
She was wearing a Purple long dress with a voilet in hair. Her hair was drilled and swirled in a way that made her seem more refined.
Petunia: Your a bit early! I'm afraid that the tinnish prince has not arrived yet.
She said.
Alexia: Sorry. My knight told me that this was all happening downstairs so I just had to come and see!
Alexia Pretended to be excited
Petunia: Haha! Your so cute fear
She pinched alexia's cheek.
Alexia: Mom!
Alexia was annoyed but stillcurious about what was in the guards hand asked about it
Alexia: Mother… What is that 'Device' That the Tinnish soldiers are holding?
Petunia looked over at the tinnish guards
Petunia: Oh that? It's called a Matchlock or Musket.
Alexia: Musket? What does it do?
Petunia: It's sort of like a portable cannon. But instead of Firing cannonballs it fires these things called 'Bullets'
Alexia: Bullets?
Petunia: Yes. They are so fast That you can barely see them when it fires!
Alexia: Interesting.
Alexia got a devious idea in her head…
Petunia: You know ...I hate to admit it but I've always admired how technologically advanced the tinns were. Aetreon has always focused on magic… much to its disadvantage.
Petunia looked into the distance in memory
Alexia: is that why tin land always has the upper hand?
She asked.
Petunia: Not really. Muskets are a new invention, There only about 4 years old. I believe it's because of Tin land's higher population and Morale to fight.
Alexia: I guess that makes sense. Mother do you think I could see one?
Petunia: How very childlike of you Alexia-Darling! Wanting to play with the new "toys"!
Alexia: M-Mother!
Petunia: You'll have to ask the queen that.
Almost on cue trumpets and brass horns starting playing, it Enticed the whole room. The tinnish soldier all lined up in a U formation and said:
"Please make way for Queen Magnesia the 3rd and Prince Alloy"
They all said.
From the hall, leading into the dining room they both entered.
Alexia Did not pay much attention to the queen as she did to the prince.
She was stunned by what she saw.
Alexia: …..
Petunia: What's wrong dear?
Alexia: mom….
Petunia: Yes whats wrong?
Alexia: He's only 10 years old!
