Location: Blair castle, Antarctica State, The Frozen Lands

Marjo Vanhala was having a foot message by Klive in the afternoon in her bedroom before her advisors had came knocking on her door. She was reading a book sitting on the edge of the bed while Klive sat on a chair across from her pressing her feet. It was a comfortable and pleasant silence. Ever since Marjo started to interact with the harem more everyone in the palace was a little happier. Finally, their empress was starting to go out more and not just stayed locked up in her room. But they still had a long way to go. Right now, everyone was hoping for a offspring. A baby or a child was what everyone in the palace was hoping for next.

Marjo put her book down and looked at at Klive whose head was down, and he was still pressing her feet. "That's good for now Klive, thank you," Marjo said.

Klive nodded stopping, and Marjo took his hand to sit down next to him on her bed. She placed her head on his shoulder and he wrapped his arms around her waist, kissing her forehead.

That was when Marjo heard a knock on her door. She stood up to go answer it and told Klive to just say on the bed.

When she opened her bedroom door facing her now was three of her advisors with trouble faces. "What is it?" Marjo asked crossing her arms.

"Your majesty it the queen council," the older women in the middle said first.

Marjo rolled her eyes, "What do they want now." She leaned against the doorway.

"They are upset about you not attending the queen council meeting for the new empress Rehema Eze, of the African lands, and they are upset with you never communicating with the others and isolating yourself from Panagea," A male advisor said out of concern.

"It's not the first time they complained with a letter," Marjo huffed. "Just throw the letter in out and don't reply they will give up eventually."

Marjo was about to walk away and shut her bedroom door but the middle advisor put her foot in the way to stop the door from closing.

Marjo noticed and glared at her, "What do you think you're doing?"

The advisor immediately turned red from fear and kneeled on the floor, the other two advisors standing by did the same thing as well, "Your majesty I deeply apologize but I needed your attention to tell you something."

"And that would be?" Marjo asked still with an expression of anger.

The advisors looked at each other scared to say the next words.

"What is it!" Marjo snapped. "Tell me now!"

"The queen council announced they will be coming to the frozen lands, with invitation or not...to talk to you, and express concerns with your ruling," The advisor finally said.

Marjo balled her fists, she knew when it came to the queen council she couldn't fight back because that would be declaring war, and now here they are having the audacity to come into her homeland with no invitation demanding things.

Marjo now shut the door in anger and her advisors didn't dare stop her.
