Eating With The Enemy

The carriage sped up and passed the village square and they finally arrived at the castle. The head guard came down first and he bowed as he entered the castle. He was going to inform the king of their arrival and he told Floid that Maryleen would guide them into the castle. Maryleen was a little annoyed that Trevor left her alone with the duke and duchess! She wasn't the sort of person who shows hospitality! She would rather be in her office working on her inventions! But the king demanded that she come as well and so she didn't have a choice. She told the duke to please follow her.

The four of them walked into the castle and Maryleen tried her best to explain a lot about the artifact they passed along the way.
