We were in the council room for 5 days before we were called back. During that time we were training. We had someone knock on our door at 6:30 in the morning and told prepare for our answer. We got up that morning and all were dressed. We had breakfast served and still waited. Then at 12:30 a man knocked and said, "follow me. The highnesses request your presence for luncheon and after the meal will give you your answer."

I linked, "how do we great at the meal? We did not practice that?"

"First of all calm down. When he opens the door we will be escorted to our seats. You stand behind your chair. Your escort will stand to your right. Then the king and queen will come in. They will sit and then we will sit when they nod their heads at us. The person who escorted you step forward and pull out your chair. Then will leave. The servants will serve the meal. Then we will eat after the king and queen takes first bite.  We will talk once the king and queen starts talking. If I am able I will lead the first talk and you will know it's ok to talk. Also ok to talk if they ask you questions."

We then walk into the dining room and first thing we notice is it is only set for nine people. This was a private luncheon. We all are escorted to our chairs. Once we are standing by our chairs the door opens again and the king and queen walk in. We turn and face them. When they walk by us we shift our bodies so we are always facing them. The Queen Aila sits at the end of the table and then King Ion sits to her right. I then notice I'm to her left. I had not realized until then that I would be sitting right by her highness.  She nods and our escorts pull out our chairs and we all sit down. Then they leave.

The queen speaks, "I asked them not to serve lunch until I ring for it

The queen speaks, "I asked them not to serve lunch until I ring for it. I wanted to discuss with you all privately about your request."

Leona speaks up, "we hope you grant our quest your highness."

"Thank you Leona. Now Jane I have contacted  friends and allies of mine. The Cedar Grove Pack and Cedar Grove Coven.  Priestess Charlene has agreed to have you stay with her to train. She will have her and her sister witches train you and your council. You will work with them on Friday and Monday. Then on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday will be working with Alpha Shane and the Gotz brothers. Magic can be draining so depending on Priestess Charlene assessment will determined if you rest or work on Tuesday or practice with the wolves. Any questions?"

I look at her, "all my council will be going for my training? I was not expecting that your highness. Thank you for arranging this."

"You are welcome my dear. I hope you find what you are searching for. I have my staff packing what items you will need there and they will be leaving with your gear.

"You will be leaving in two days. After we eat lunch I will send you home. Then spend the next day and half with family. Then you will depart and it will take you just a few hours to get there. Now let's eat." She picks up the bell and rings it.
