The doors of the throne room flew open as throngs of people filed out of the palace. Hours of boring negotiations had come to pass, but finally the orc diplomacy was finished. Molly was sleeping soundly on Sylvia’s back. Why she stayed by their side the whole time is a mystery to both of them.
“Glad that’s over.” Sylvia said with a sigh of relief. “Who knew orcs cared so much about trade agreements.”
The Princess was knocked awake by her words as she was almost dozing of as she walked.
“Uh yeah, um well, trade is important when you’re less eager to pillage.”
“I hope those new citizens will get along well.” Continued Sylvia. “Chieftain Azuk must really care about his people if he’s willing to go this far so some of them can lead a civilized life.”
“I wonder how an orc living in the wilds gets a law degree anyways.” Inquired Guu.
“Or a Goblin has nurse training.” Asked Sylvia. “Oh well, nothing weirder than what we usually get around here.”
“I’m sure they won’t have too many problems around here. And considering their chieftain is offering us protection, it’s not a bad trade off at all.”
The pair stopped amongst the jungle sanctuary. A long platoon of orcs, armed to the teeth marched alongside their leader. Azuk was a big guy wearing all sorts of fancy jewelry and items. Guu would have described him as menacing if she hadn’t spent an hour or so arguing the what the fabric traded pillows will be made of. They gave him one last bow before he and his escorts transverse the sanctuary and through town where people parted ways to make room for the group. Guu and Sylvia gave each other a relieved but tired look before heading up into the palace.

The next day, with Ambrosia a lot safer, Guu thought it was time to complete some unfinished business. Molly deserved her father and it has been long enough that she needed to step in. She ate her bags and set off for Camelot the next morning.
