IC: The masked rider looked at the scroll case carefully, looking over every inch of it, then opened it-rather carelessly-and inspected every inch of it for weapons, poison or creatures that may try to harm the King.
"You will not ride to see the king this day, however I will take you to his son, the commander of this army." The rider spoke in a tone that allowed no retort or appeal and mounted his fleet footed horse without another word, the other riders remained in a circle around this stranger and rode towards the camp, leaving the sword behind them to be picked up by one of the lower ranking amongst them.
Moments later the riders stopped outside of a tent that looked like all others except for the coat of arms upon it baring the symbol of Prince Kalathin.
The captain of the riders led the Senate reprasentative past the two golden legionaiires into the well lit warmth of the Princes' tent, it was not an ornate thing, a simple desk in the corner, a cot not unlike that of an average warrior's the prince himself however was a startling contrast to the average warrior, he was tall, had long golden hair hypnotic green eyes lit with a fire of intelect and whit, he wore the Eldornethi steel banded armor of a legionaiire but his was far more ornately forged, additional bands added for his increased protection were also present, his helm which lay on the desk had the same face guard as the standard legionaiires but a wonderous plume of many kinds of feathers sat atop the proud peice of craftsmanship.
"What does your senate wish of me guest?" he asked in a calm wise and youthful voice as he poured the stranger a cup of fine elvish wine.
"I will hear your reasons before I send you on to my father, if of course I choose to send you on and do not turn you back to your homeland after hearing your reasons." The prince handed the man the wooden cup with a polite smile and sat across from him waiting for this "Senate representative" to speak.

Flavius bowed. "Your highness, our people have long been brothers and have long shared an open border. I bring a message from Consul Septimus of great importance."
"True, you have discovered my ruse, but I could not reveal myself to the ordinary man. Even... here, the Elantrian Senate has ears."
"The Treaty of Lucius is soon coming to an end. I have the authority of the Consul to negotiate a new... agreement, one that will be beneficial to us all. If you allow me to speak to your father, all will be revealed."
"If you wish more information, I may reveal it to you now. But be warned, all things come with a price. The information I have is quite... how shall I say it... unhealthy."
