"make way, make way Leok, haiplana kom natblida has arrived"

the two guards at the front doors kneeled as Leoni kept riding towards the tower which was to be her new home. as she got closer the residents of Polis knelt at either side of path fyucha as Leoni rode. she nodded and smiled to the residents as they squealed and laughed in excitement

"Leoni what are you doing?" Lincoln scolded, he was careful to use English so most of the villagers would not understand

"i am here for them. not for appearances"

Leoni replied calmly not straying from the path

slightly confused Lincoln nodded

when the pair finally arrived Lexa was waiting at the front doors beside Titus the Flamekeepa.

"Ai Haiplana. We are glad you could join us." Titus said smoothly, bowing as Lexa did the same. They watched as Leoni hopped off Fyucha and Lincoln made his way to her side. A young girl came and pulled the horse away.

"You will address Haiplana Leok by her royal name " Titus sneered. A crowd rapidly gathered around to witness the altercation. Leoni rolled her eyes before raising her own blade to Titus' neck

"And you will un-hand my friend and never question how he addresses me again." Leoni stated calmly. She rarely lost her temper. There was no need, no one disobeyed her

"Forgive me Leok "Titus begged sorrowfully taking his dagger away and rising to his feet before Leoni lowered her own blade and helped Lincoln up.

"Why am I going with him?" Lincoln hissed in Leoni's ear

"I need to talk to Lexa, relax! enjoy Polis, you really don't leave the house enough" Leoni patted his cheek while he scowled
