The captain watched as the crowd grew thicker the deeper Lisosta's wagon went into the city. However his business was not with her, but with the drifter she had saved.
"You." He said pointing at one of the coachmen. "Pull that wagon aside." The wagon came to a stop, and the captain rode up beside it.
"And what makes you think i am going to let a drifter into this city." He said smugly through the window of the wagon.
"Hmm...what?" Raphon said grogily as he tried to wake up from his nap.
"I said, why do you think i am going to let you in the gate." He repeated.
"Cause the princess said i could." He said. His head a little clearer.
The captain paused and looked around for a second. "Well i don't see the princess here to confirm that. So OUT!." He demanded.
"Ok, Ok." Raphon replied extremely annoid. "I hope you get to keep your head when I don't show up in the palace tonight."
"Just be glad i don't take yours now you peice of war trash." The captain spat back.
Raphon just mombled some obsenities to himself not giving the officer the pleasure of hearing his disgust. "I was so hopeing to stay in a real bed tonight." He thought to himself as he jumpedout of the wagon. As he came around it he locked eye's with the captain for a good minute before walking off.
The captain watched himfor a while with a smile on his face. "Now to see the king." He mumbled, and rode into the city ltrying to catch up to the Lisosta.

The city near the gate was barren. No more then one or two people walking around. The rest to scared to come out of there place of dwelling.
As word spread that another of there princess's has return soon turned the dreary stroll to the Lords Estate into a fare ground. It seemed like everyone in the city had come to crowd main street to catch a glimpse of her. The now parade got stopped once or twice as the crowd swelled around it. "Keep back, keep back!" The sodliers shouted as the lead wagon lurched ahead. It wasn't long before the captain returned to Lisosta's side.
"I see I was right puttin you out in public" The captain said to Lisosta. "And even with all this we are half way to the Estate."
