Rehema woke up first bright and early. She left a passed out Esi who was sleeping near the fireplace from where she crashed on the floor last night.

When Rehema gotten downstairs to the eating hall for breakfast. She was one of the first empresses up and food was served on the table. Seven big wooden tables were in the room, one for each empress and her crew. Rehema went to the African lands table and got a plate and started putting toast and eggs on her plate. Suddenly she looked up and saw a sleepy Sang-chul Min approaching her. He was wearing a light plain white cotton long sleeve shirt and plain matching pants.

He kneeled greeting Rehema, "Morning, your majesty."

Rehema told him to rise and smiled at him. He sat down across from her at the dinner table.

"Are you an early bird? I'm usually all alone when the sun has just begun it day," Rehema remarked. She pushed a plate of breakfast towards him.

Sang-chul thanked her, "Yes, I like getting up early."

"Well than looks like I have something to look forward when it comes to my mornings back in the African Lands," Rehema remarked.

Sang-chul blushed and looked down at his plate of food and started to eat. It was a comfortable silence between them as they ate in the near empty dinning room. When Rehema was done and was about to get a drink of juice, Sang-chul quickly reached over to do it for her and handed her a goblet.

Rehema was surprised at first, "Well...Thank you," She said, accepting the goblet with juice in it. Now more people were coming in. Rehema looked across the room and saw Adelaide Kasperek come in, with her crew surrounding their table.

"Your majesty, I just wanted to let you now. I'm quite excited to be joining you in the African Lands, and start a new destiny their serving you," Sang-chul uttered.

Rehema was surprised, he was not as frighten as yesterday.

"I'm happy and excited too," Rehema smiled softly. Esi came in the room, and so did more of her crew.

"Morning," Esi said with a yawn dropping down in a seat next to Rehema. Rehema said good morning and passed her sister some juice.

Esi glanced at Sang-chul who was steadily eating the rest of his breakfast. She than glanced over at Rehema who seemed be quite happy with the way the morning was going.

When everyone had finish up wrapping up breakfast they met in the great hall from yesterday. The all seven empresses sitting at the same long table with the same seating agreements and the crowds of their crew and army's behind them. The six queen council members sat at a long table on high platform in the room.

Lottie cleared her throat and stood up from her seat bringing her attention in the room.

"We all have a wonderful time welcoming Empress Rehema Eze, and now we be sending you all back to your homelands. The queen council would like to wish you Empress Rehema a long healthy life with blessings, and prosperity for the African Lands."

Rehema could hear behind her here crew yelling and chanting, "Long Live Empress Rehema!"

"Alright, alright," Lottie said calming the crowd. "The queen council will be in touch with all the Empresses of Pangaea and we expect support and cooperation when it comes to responding to the queen council."

Lottie seemed to be looking at Adelaide Kasperek when she said the last part. The queen council then dismissed the empresses allowing them to leave. When Rehema got up, Kiana grabbed her wrist lightly to catch her attention.

"I just wanted you to know if you interested in becoming allies, before you leave," Kiana said.

"Were you allies with my mother?" Rehema asked with an eyebrow up.

"I became Empress of the Sea and Islands when your mother was still the seated sovereign of the African Lands. I had my doubts too about who I should ally myself when I first had to come here during my coronation with the queen council and meeting other empresses. Your mother was a honorable woman that I trusted," Kiana said. Her pelican was sitting on her shoulder again, and she had her golden trident with her.

Rehema looked over at her advisor who seemed to be wondering what the two women were talking about. "I will speak to advisor and council about it back home." Rehema said.

Kiana nodded and left the scene along with her crew. Rehema went to her advisor and together they got ready to leave leaving the assembly longhouse and going outside. They saw the horses lined up and saw the bright yellow African Lands flag and banner near the tents and horses.

Rehema, Esi, and her advisor stood near the side of the roadway as their carriage approach them. Rehama turned to her advisor, where will Sang-chul be riding?"

"With some of the maids, your majesty. In the carriages for servants, would you like to move him?" She asked.

"No Melissa its fine," Rehema responded and their carriage arrived. Two male guards helped Rehema, Esi, and Melissa in.

Esi nudged her older sister and pointed in the direction of the fields where the banner and the flag for the Kereperek's were, a deep midnight blue flag with the image of striking red one eyed, black shuck.

"They rushed out leave first," Esi whispered pointing out the window of the carriage. "This whole conference she didn't say a word to any other empress."

"As long as Adelaide, and the Kasperek's keep away from African Lands, and from my family we have no business with them," Rehema said. She relaxed closing her eyes and leaned against her seat.

"Too bad they have a history of doing so," Melissa brought up. "We have to very careful and not play around with security."

As the carriage started to move and they continued down a path, across from them Rehema noticed the on the carriage across from her a flag and banner of a black and white flag and panda eating bamboo on it.

Fan Du was riding next to her. Rehema moved closer to the window and Fan Du noticed her from her window. She smiled and wave at the Rehema. Rehema waved back and noticed in her carriage Fan Du was sitting on a male's lap and he had red lipstick marks on his face. Fan Du moved closer to her window to yell something at Rehema, "I will try to be in contact with you later Empress Rehema, don't forget about me, and I hope the man that you picked serves you well!"

Rehema simply yelled back a thank you. She then drew the curtain in her carriage, not letting the outside world interfere with the three of them inside. The true test of everything began when she would be finally home.
