Good eyes by the way, I never would have known they were there if you hadn’t pointed them out. Its weird though I’ve stood guard in this chamber for many years and looked up at the rafters and seen nothing every time. Are those foreign visitors the reason?” Korus muses to himself.
“Foreign visitors?” you ask.
“Yeah didn’t the captain tell you, it’s the whole reason court is being held today there are-“
Korus cuts himself short as a young page hurries into the room and approaches the throne. “I beg your forgiveness your majesty, but some foreign dignitaries have arrived for you sire.” The page says bowing low before the king.
King Rham nods gravely and turns to the nobles, “We will continue with the petitions and matters of the court later. It appears our foreign guests have finally arrived.”
“That is not all my lord,” the page says and he whispers something into the king’s ear. The King’s expression betrays not one emotion, but after the page finishes, the king rises to his feet. “Show him in,” he says his eyes fixed upon the entrance to the throne room. The page hurries out accompanied by the herald and Korus quickly leaves you to return to his post. The nobility and other guest clear a path to the king filtering out around the throne as the royal guard move forward to line the approach to the king. You don’t have long to ponder who the foreign guests might be as the herald returns and loudly announces the new arrivals.
“Lords and Ladies of the court I present to you all The Lord of the Gerudo people, King Gannondorf.” A murmur ripples through the crowd as through the door steps a giant, muscled man easily half again as tall as you, with well-tanned skin and a fiery mane of red hair. He’s bare chested with a green and gold embroidered tunic skirt covering him from the waist down. He is modestly adorned with jewelry and even his crown is a simple gold circlet around his head. He strides into the room a cocky smile on his face, his every step oozing confidence as he looks around the room like some one would examine a house they were going to purchase.
Entering behind the Gerudo King is a contingent of Gerudo Guards, all women by the looks of it and all of them larger and more muscled than you. They march in gilded armor gleaming and spears in hand, their faces concealed behind masks and veils. You grip your own spear tighter as the follow their king into the room, but stop just after the entrance and stand their ground.
“King Rham,” Gannondorf speaks, his voice is deep but his tone is light and casual. “Sorry for the delay, we were held up at the border.”
