Assassin's POV
. . .

Addax: " Tighten yourselves up and make a good impression for the king and queen."

For the first time we see Addax talking to us seriously and his annoyingly happy face went away as he talks to us. He turns around to nod at the guards and they opened the large door. Ahead of us was the massive throne room. Addax motions us to walk through and we follow taking in the beauty of the throne room.

It was covered in rare minerals that covered the majority of the throne room and what lay ahead of us was a long flight of stairs that led up to two large platforms. On those platforms were the king and queen. Addax respectfully bows and we follow as he introduces us.

Addax: "Your majesty, this is Valera and Elena. Your two newest royal guards."

Addax steps to the side while the king and queen look down upon us. To be honest, King Ryuga scares me. I fear no man but, that thing...it scares me. His large stature and blood-red eyes look at me but I kept my composure.

King Ryuga: "Hmph, they look a bit scrawny. What makes you think you will get a position in our royal guard mutts?"

Queen Talana: "Dear, Queen Tanya recommended them to me. I heard some good things from you two, especially you Valera. Why is that?"

Valera: "Your highness, my sister Elena and I have been working under the service of Queen Tanya for quite some but we decided to vow our service and pledge ourselves to you."

King Ryuga: "And what made you change your mind? It seemed you two were living perfectly under Queen Tanya's rule so why did you choose us?"

I didn't expect the king and queen to be asking us many questions upon our arrival. I thought we would get our job right away but I guess not. It took me a moment to come up with an answer but Ryuga's malicious staring was not helping as if he knew something was up with us both. It would be a total blow if he found out the real reason why we were here.

Valera: "Well as much we loved servicing Queen Tanya, we wanted to move somewhere else new. We wanted to move to the alpines because where her kingdom was, it was too humid and sometimes unbearable."

King Ryuga: "But you have short coats of fur. It shouldn't be too hard for you two to adjust to humid areas and in alpines, it would be easier for you to get cold."

Shit! He was onto us. Uhh...I need to think of something. I look over to my sister Elena who stares at me with worry but she opens her mouth. I pray she has something good to say that would convince Ryuga to not kill us because he looks like he might.

Elena: "Your majesty, we just simply wish to pledge ourselves to you. I know that you and Queen Tanya have good relations with each other. Think of this like a foreign exchange. And she did recommend us to you, is that now enough for us to be a royal guard?"
