Maintaining a mane of beautiful long hair is great, but it's difficult to care for. You'll just have to hope it's good enough for the Queen today.

You're not sure what else can be done about your appearance, so you stand there awkwardly until you see a trail of dust coming down the road. Sir Kelton's chest puffs out, and he smooths the wrinkles on his clothes.

Soon, the Queen's carriage is in view—an emerald green coach trimmed with gold to represent the colors of the Kingdom of Jubai. Now you can make out the crest on the side, a phoenix grasping a rose in its talon, and you can see the faces of the guardsmen. You don't recognize most of them, but the knight riding at the front you know is Lady Ayo. She's the Queen's usual bodyguard.

The carriage pulls to a halt at the entrance of Kelton's estate where the three of you are standing, and Kelton bows. Not to be outdone, Fizza bows lower.
