The young girl looked around as if searching for someone when she heard someone ask "Who are you and what is the purpose of your visit?".
The girl young girl looked at the young man standing in front of her on full guard and asked him calmly "Who am I speaking to here?"
"I am the Command in chief of Asterin army, Augustus"
"Rigid…"
"Excuse me?"
"Can I speak to your king or queen? Someone who has the authority to grant my wishes".
"State your request I will convey it to the queen"
"I will only speak to you queen" Then looking at the suspicious expression on Augustus' face the young girl added,
"If I wanted to hurt any of you here you would not be standing speaking to me here so go tell your queen I want to meet her".
Augustus contemplated for a few seconds before he asked the young girl to wait and went to Elizabeth to convey her request.
"Your Majesty the young girl insists on speaking with you only"
Elizabeth turned to look at the young girl who was also looking in her direction. If not for the dragon form of the girl that they saw a few minutes ago anyone would mistake her as a harmless sweet little girl.

When Augustus was speaking to Elizabeth there was another conversation happening through the eyes.
When the young girl turned in the direction of the queen her eyes sparkled in excitement, finally seeing the person she was looking for.
It was not Elizabeth but Lea who was standing right behind her.
As the young girl was about to call out, Lea glared and shook her head conveying that she did not want to be recognized.
Looking at her reaction the young girl became alert as she thought "Why is Master hiding her identity… is she in some kind of danger? No, no, no…I have to find a way to stay here".
----
"Bring her here" Elizabeth ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty" Augustus bowed in respect before walking towards the young girl.
"Follow me, the queen will speak to you" Augustus' words brought her out of her thoughts as the young girl nodded and followed him making sure not to make eye contact with Lea anymore as she knew her master would not agree with what she wanted to do.
As she reached the place where Elizabeth was standing the young girl knelt down on one knee and bowed her head in respect.
"Rise up"
As the girl stood up back on her feet Elizabeth asked "Who are you and why did you want to meet me?".
"Your Majesty my name is Sapphire"
