The vast kingdom of Sindria.

"What a beautiful kingdom..."

Judal flew over Sindria on her carpet, always looking down at the people who seemed to not have a care in the world.

"They're all so happy..."

Sindria was one of Judal's favorite places to go. And even though she wouldn't admit it, she even liked the kingdom more than the Kou Empire. She flew here all the time, whenever she got the chance that is. But most of those times she'd just sneak out and get a quick fly around. But right now, Judal didn't want to look down at the people. She didn't want to look at all those shining buildings. Judal had come to Sindria because she had had a plan. A plan for power. A plan for control. Judal flew past several homes and people, her attention now focused on the huge palace that the king called home. The idea had formed while she was talking to Hakuryuu.

"If I want power, then I should claim the title of a person who has power. I need to become queen."

Judal paused for a moment in the middle of the sky. She started to think of her entire plan and then realized, she had already had a chance to claim this name.

"...Kouen..."

Judal thought back to a time not long ago. The oldest prince had walked up to her and asked of marriage. And Judal...Judal had...

"No. No I can't think about stupid things like that now."

Judal continued to fly towards the palace, her mind refocused on the task at hand. Surely her plan would work.

"This is the Stupid King we're talking about here after all...It can't be that hard..."

Continuing her journey, the magi continued to head towards the palace. She knew the building so well, though she had been in it so few times. The only times she could remember going in was when she had taken either Kougyoku or Hakuryuu inside, but even then she had only gotten a small look of the inside. But she knew the outside very well. Every time she had come to Sindria, she'd always take a few rounds around the palace. She knew every window, to every brick. She had even counted all of them from time to time, whenever she had nothing else to do. But now, Judal was going to go inside of the palace, the one place her knowledge needed improvement.

"After all, I can't just ask the idiot to come outside, he'd surely call Freckles and the others. If I want this plan to work, I'm going to need to catch him alone..."

As Judal reached one of the balconies of the palace, she quietly stepped off her carpet and onto the platform.

"This plan is foolproof. And nothing, is going to stop me from becoming queen."
