Kyera smiled sadly and took the sword from her sheath and held it in the sunlight , the silver blade catching rays of light and casting them around . "I have had 3 Lady"s Own Knights . Daxin, when I was a child . Verone when I grew older, and when he changed that mantle landed on Talis . It is troubled time the t.i.tle of Lady"s Own can be quite the weight to bare, considering my state . " Her words stopped as her hand caressed the baby who needed her . She couldn"t fight… it was a risk and forced her to swallow her pride .
Carefully, she turned the blade toward herself, gripping it on the blade just below the hilt . She offered it to him quietly . Kan looked at it in wonder before taking it in an unsteady hand . Kyera smiled as he did, letting him take the silver blade . As he did the clapping began .
Kan turned his head toward the sound to see a group of the Knights had already joined them . Some he recognized, but most were new faces who were just kids when he left . Kyera antic.i.p.ated the question before he could ask . "The majority of our brothers fell trying to buy time for the junior knights and a True Knights to evacuate the bazaar . " Kyera explained softly, and he nodded slowly . He had known the Bazaar had been attacked but he hadn"t know how bad things had gotten .

"Then, I am honored to join the ranks . " He replied slipping the sword into his waistband and turning to the gathered men . One he recognized, Jarath, who had just been a junior when he left . He was one who knew what Kan was expected of having done but he walked forward anyway . Kan prepared for the searing words he expected, afterall he betrayed the Princes .
"NO, return, brother . Your innocents was proven, the trust of the lady earned . Welcome home . " Jarath replied and nodded at him . Kan looked at Karath"s outstretched hand and clasped his hand around his forearm, in the time honored acceptance of brotherhood .
"Thank you, Brother . " Kan replied hiding the slight tremble In his voice . Karath nodded, a knowing glow of understanding in his eyes .
"The knights and I will return to the children now, if we may, Princess?" Jarath asked redirecting his attention to Kyera so Kan could put himself back together .
"Yes, Kan and Cora will watch over myself and Raina . Be safe, My Knights, swords be true and claws be swift . " Kyera dismissed them .

"By the Forest Will, My Lady . " The response was made by the group as a unit before they followed their head knight away . Kyera smiled as they left, knowing she could trust these men and women even if she couldn"t trust a single guard in the palace . Most of them she had trained herself, and the ones she had not trained trained alongside her . The Knighthood was like a family, one where everyone could lean on each other for support and understanding . It was something she had missed since she left home .
Kan stood beside her the clothing in his hands still a bit baffling . He had never expected Kyera to welcome him back . Of all the ways for him to achieve salvation, her hand had not been one he had considered . Yet here they were .
"Kan, go change . I need to escourt Raina to the Heir games and I would prefer my knight dressed properly before we go . " Kyera ordered him, knowing just how badly he wanted to put them on . Kan nodded and went to the guards chambers to change . Kyera however, went back inside to her mother hens .
Cora was steeping tea, Ella was laying out the dress she would be wearing, and Mally was waiting for her with arms crossed, a brush in her hands . There was a look of disapproval on all three women"s faces and Kyera sighed knowing what was coming .
"It will only take a few moments, you said . I will be right back, you said . We will have ample time to prepare, you promised… I don"t know about the other girls but a couple of hours does not sound like ample time, Kyera . " Mally mimicked Kyera"s voice in the highest, nasally tone she could muster . The other two women looked at eachother but Ella just shook her head and began unlacing Kyera out of her current dress . She knew better than anyone they only needed a third of that time .
