Thunderous noise echoed through the open runway as a lone, luxurious plane took off.
Within it, a pair sat in a comfortable suite.
"I see. So this is not really a mission."
One said, a young girl with vibrant amber eyes, her black, white and light blue dress serving as a secondary reminder of her royal status; the first being her characteristic flowing white hair.
"Then why are we even on this mission, mother? I was under the impression that both the confederacy and our realm are in need of our guidance so why do we waste time on business trip without business?"
The second person, Empress Aphelia of the Umbra Regium, sipped on a cup of tea calmly before answering.
"Even the most powerful tools and machines need maintenance, surely you've heard this before. But even without that fact, it the simple truth that my duties have kept me at a significant, almost dangerous, distance from outside happenings. With that in mind, what better place to visit than Old Ras, the nation of gossip given human form?"
"That seems. . .shortsighted, in my honest opinion." The princess answered, prompting a semi humourous sigh from the empress.
"Maybe with age you'll understand, my dear Anthela, that Communal chatrooms are neither the only nor even the best source of info."
light-hearted laughter ensued as the plane approached it's destination.
