Reinventing your Exit [Kakeru and Sidera]

╔ Guardian ╬ Queen ╗ Having walked through the gate with Solomon at her side, the woman watching Kakeru as his figure shifted his attire. The feel of cold air dancing over her caused the woman to shudder a bit due to the attire she wore. She wasn't nearly dressed well enough for the cold. Her form was barely covered due to the nature of the location where they met and her reasoning for being there. Kakeru had grabbed her in the middle of her hunting and thus her attire was that of a tight fitting, short black dress. The front being low in cut and revealing a large amount of cleavage. It wasn't exactly something a queen should garb upon meeting her people. However if she showed no signs of being cold in such lacking attire, it could show her to be a most resistant and strong queen for her people. Her thoughts calmed as Kakeru turned towards her and placed a crown upon her head. The lovely piece placed upon her contrasted against her hair while accenting the color of her eyes all the more. The darkened carbon steel rested upon her head comfortable with its elegant sways and bends. The center of the crown having a heart shape upper piece which seemed to bloom downward with its wiring and encasing around a small darkened magenta gem which was in the shape of a tear drop and matching the one which was inside of the heart-shaped piece. The heart itself seeming to have it's own little crown of clear gems, which only reminded her of ice. Those which bowed before her only got the woman's head nodding to them in a rather shy manner. She wasn't expecting such a greeting to say the least. She actually expected her people to hate her. Her eyes watching over them differences in class were obvious to say the least. Those with more money wearing warmer attire which remained so fashionable while the poor wore what they needed to remain as comfortable as possible for their labors, however all bowed before her. It was an odd sensation to say the very least. As thought he knew too well her thoughts, Solomon placed his hand upon her shoulder and gave a comforting squeeze to remind her that he was there. She wasn't facing this alone. Solomon had been away from home just as long as she had. Once they reached the throne, Sidera took a comfortable seat. Her back straight and poised so that to keep herself from seeming unworthy of her position. Kakeru stepped forward to speak to the people, in a display that made the woman blush, to say the least. Her eyes watching her people. Some seemed enthralled with excitement from the man's speech. Others showed feigned signs for joy but in actuality they were scared and worried for their loved ones being under new rule. Some just frankly didn't care nor did they think it would make a difference and lastly, others just seemed annoyed by such a thing as a new queen to guide them. It all made sense, after all. Once the man finished his speech to the people, there were cheers and clapping, some meaning their praise others doing it to be polite. It was a world that Sidera knew too well. How to read others. Once Kakeru bowed towards her, she shook her head and brought him to stand before stepping past him to face her people. "Dear Sugiurans... People who have lost. Either mind, body or spirit, I have nothing other to say that to apologize to you all. For so very long you have dealt with a land led by a man who is not from among you and while he is very kind, strong and true, it hurts to not be watched over by one of your own. I know such burdens... I know such trial and pain though many in this room would quickly turn to disagree that I know their trials. I have spent so long in a world that was not my home, watching over my shoulder in fear from the day I lost my parents. I've gone through trials I wish not to bring upon my people. However, it has made me a much stronger woman than any would expect." She began saying such as the woman stepped towards the people and away from her throne. Eyes watching her intensely with both awe and shock. Where they not used to royalty moving like they were one of them? "I have fought for centuries to protect the few people I had left... My guardian, my sister and her guardian. Four against the world of harsh attacks, onslaughts of hunts and never knowing who to truly trust. However, I tell you. All of you. That you may trust me. I wish prosperity among my people. I wish for hope to be obsolete because everything fair and true which one could ever desire is already streaming from the city they are proud of. The nation they can smile upon. We all have our hardships but it is because of this that we can all work harder. This land looked beautiful to me when I was a small child just as it does now... So let us keep it's beauty and build it into something far greater. Let the poor not go hungry and may the rich not look down on others. I want equality as I know you all do too. On Earth, the human realm, there is something they call the North Star. A Star in the sky which always points north and can easily guide anyone in the darkest of nights. I wish us to be that guide... Let them not see us as classes and labels but as one people. As Unity. As The North Star of the Sugiuran Realm." Her words of passion and honesty touched man as sincere applause came from the crowd now surrounding her. She had no reason to fear her people and only smiled. Her figure remaining strong as she stood among her people and began getting hugs and shaking hands. Laughter leaving her soft lips before all the celebrating came to a stand still and she returned to her throne. Tonight the fortress will be opened to all of the North! We will celebrate my return and begin on making it so the people are no longer distant but get to mingle and be more than just classes. I wish to see all of my people here tonight. Now go, send word, dress comfortably! The gate will open upon nightfall! Enjoy your day everyone and I hope to see you all tonight~" The people began talking with excitement among one another. The woman's smile never faulting as they began waving and leaving. Some planning attire, others planning on gifts. All in all, the people seemed happy with their new queen thus far. Once all had gone, a sigh of relief left the woman's lips before she turned to Kakeru with a wide smile. "You are welcome to be here tonight. I just... Need to get into something more worth of a queen... And warmer~!"

╔ Guardian ╬ Queen ╗ "Dress code...? Well some people seemed not too well off so I'd say casual.. I wouldn't want my people flashing their status too much and thus causing pain to those that don't have mu- Oh!" Sidera seemed excited as an idea popped into her thoughts and she looked about for someone who served her. She quickly moved towards them as she smiled and began speaking. They made a quick exchange of information as Sidera paused and nodded before hurrying the house maid off to do a simple yet vast task. She moved over to Kakeru once more and let a giggle dance from her lips as she shook her head. She seemed to be much more at ease now. "Yes! Casual will be perfect! The people will be united as the poor even in casual wear will blend with nobility and the rich! I've already began the work for it. Any maiden or man who appear here with rags or signs of poverty will be given better attire to wear and escorted to a changing facility! There are plenty of clothes here ad well as fabric which can help with continuous production of more! So we will see what we can do to help the loower class feel not so low anymore as they separation becomes invisible for an evening! To think, maybe a poor girl will find her prince charming to save her tonight." She laughed softly, remembering her talks with Sagumi and just letting her thoughts travel more as she then gave Kakeru a bright smile. Her figure shifting away from him as she bowed her head for a moment and then was asked away by one of her house maids. She motioned to Kakeru to wait for a moment before she made her way out of the room with the maid. As she was away, the woman was brought to change into something more warm than her clubbing dress. The gown she put on was comfortable to say the least and being inside was much warmer than her walk into the palace. A soft smile remained on the woman's lips as she tied the criss-crossing ties around the back of her neck, hiding a soft bow with her hair out. The top of the dress was a hugging corset of white silk which pressed her bust in tight and close. She could still breathe comfortably and move in such a way but it certainly made her cleavage quite noticeable. The skirt being black and floor length, swaying comfortably with the woman's every step. Though, the material was soft it also seemed a bit fragile but that didn't seem to phase Sidera in the slightest. After a moment, she returned back to the throne room where Kakeru awaited and gave him a shy smile. Spoiler: "So... What do you think?"

╔ Guardian ╬ Queen ╗ A soft giggle escaped the woman as she saw Kakeru slip far too deep into his thoughts on the situation. She only gave him a warm, reassured smile After all, that's how a queen should respond to such a tangent, yeah? She wasn't sure but she was doing things how her gut told her to. She moved her way about the throne room and looked at the open space, it was large and white, they didn't need a ballroom for their guests with all this space. She looked around and moved her way to one of the closer handmaids and explained how she wanted the room decorated and the music she desired. It was going to be different for her for sure but none the less, she wanted a taste of her people's culture and thus she was doing her best to get such. The time for the event was quickly growing near before she turned to look at Kakeru as he spoke about his outfit. Her lips holding a wide smile. "Very handsome. Casual yet classy, very fitting for a man with such a balance to him... I can't thank you enough for bringing me home..." She spoke before stepping towards the man and pressing her lips to his cheek. Her figure stepping back as she smiled softly and gave him a soft smile before returning to organizing the area around them. The large space was slowly being decorated and changed for the sake of the comfortably of the guests to come. There were a few instances of individuals who came in early and were quickly swept away to get their better attire which Sidera had made or grabbed for them or decided to help with decorations. Some individuals which showed up brought gifts as their thanks to the new queen, which only made the woman smile all the more. Seeing the overjoyed faces of men, women and children as they appeared made the woman relax all the more as she had all gifts stored into a spare room of the castle. Soon the band arrived and began setting up, testing out their instruments and beginning to play a few songs which came to mind. Soon, there were crowds of people waiting outside of the front gate of the castle. Sidera's eyes beamed with delight as she turned to Kakeru with an excited and almost childish smile. "Let the party begin!"

╔ Guardian ╬ Queen ╗ Moving through the crowds of her people, seeing so many who were astonished to feel like nobility. Watching men and women alike interact as though there was no difference in class due to no longer being able to distinguish the difference via appearance. Easily there was ease in Sidera. She somewhat felt like she knew where she belonged finally. However, such she could never do alone. She needed to bring Acel to their new home sooner rather than later. She looked upon the crowds. Her throne had been moved to use as a stage for the band who placed. She didn't care to be seen above others, only to interact with her people. Every move she made had already been thought out before her people had arrived. Her glance had met with Kakeru's as he waved. She gave him a soft nod to state she was well before continuing with what she was doing, talking to men, women and children alike. After a while of the festivities, she stepped up on the stage as the music came to a pause and she decided to address her people once more. "Good evening everyone. I hope you are all enjoying yourselves. I hope the music is to everyone's liking. The clothes, the food! I have to say... I am glad to be here. Though it is new for me and I believe I have spoke enough about equality for tonight but... I'd like you all to realize what has happened here tonight. You have men, women and children of all classes and background here tonight... Not a single lady in this room looks anything below a princess. Not a single man here looks below a prince. You all have mingled and interacted tonight with members either above or below to you in some way according to "wealth". However, the wealth of our land is in its people. Ladies and Gentlemen. No longer look at one another as "Common" or "High Class". See yourself as part of the North. We are, The North. No one will change that and no one can. We are the people. I removed my throne and stayed amongst you all. I may be your queen but I will earn my place with you all, not above you. Please, Continue enjoying your evening and I hope the festivities are to your liking. I'll be walking about if any wish to speak with me at all. It seems it's mainly the children. Let the music continue and the evening commence~!" She gave a soft laugh as the music continued and the woman made her way off the stage. SHe was stopped by a few other individuals now, mainly men as per usual but such didn't bother her. She was getting to know her people. After such died down she made her way to find Kakeru once more. As she took sight of his golden hair, she made her way quickly to him and grabbed his hand, pulling him to join her. "Join me for a walk?" She beckoned towards the hall and towards the ballroom where most people had not entered yet. The throne room was large enough and the music echoed brilliantly enough to dance through all the rooms of the castle. After tugging him to the ballroom, she turned to the man and spoke softly to him, a warm smile upon her pink lips. "Care to dance?"
