Finding himself standing in front of the Queen's throne, Keion cut a deep bow to show his respect before flashing a friendly smile at Kimora. "Queen Kimora, thank you for making the time to speak with me. The news I have is both important and also quite unfortunate."

He sighed, his smile dropping into a frown as he clasped his hands behind his back. "The Peacekeepers were informed recently of a rogue Arynnite enchanter within the lands of Coheed who had supposedly been supplying them with enchanted items. I'm sure I don't need to tell you how concerning of a situation that would be. So we armed a small band of soldiers with cloaking enchants and sent them in to Coheed to investigate and figure out if this rumor was true or not."

He grimaced and shook his head back and forth, "Well, they did in fact find a rogue enchanter. Councilwoman Ellora Roquefort, of all people. And although our soldiers tried to bring her in quietly so we could interrogate her, she became quite belligerent and was shouting some nonsense about being a free woman of Coheed. Unfortunately she attacked and our soldiers were forced to defend themselves and Miss Roquefort did not survive the fight. The soldiers only had time to search her small home before they had to portal back out. They said they found nothing of interest, only this ring."

He pulled the ring from his pocket then, offering it to one of the Queen's servants to bring to her throne so that she could see what was clearly a Roquefort family ring. "I regret that we did not send some of our older soldiers on this mission, ones who would have recognized her name and perhaps handled things differently."

Keion didn't flinch away from the harsh tone Kimora directed towards him, though he did maintain his regretful expression. He had expected her reaction. Obviously, if Akagi had wanted his name kept out of the details, he hadn't bothered to inform his mother of his expedition or the reason behind it in the first place. And then he had sent Keion into the hornets nest as his messenger.

But it was fine, because Keion planned to use this to his advantage. He allowed a bit of confusion to cross his features, "The orders originally came from your Minister of Internal Affairs, my brother Cyrus. I had assumed you at least knew of the possibility of a rogue enchanter in Coheed."

He paused for a moment before continuing, bringing his hand up to rub at his chin. "I do beg your pardon for the confusion, Your Majesty, but I am only here as a messenger, at Cyrus's request as well. If you truly had no knowledge of the situation before this, I can only imagine they wanted to confirm the details of it before bothering you with them. You are quite busy, after all. And they could not have known that the outcome would be so... disastrous."

Keion scratched at his chin before crossing his arms behind his back and bowing his head. "Cyrus is in Nevermere at the moment on some family business, but I will send word for him to return right away. Once he is home, we will gather the Peacekeepers and bring them before you. I'm sure he will have a better explanation for you. It does seem as if this has become quite the disaster."

He huffed a breath, a deep frown on his face. "I will leave at once to send word to Cyrus, Your Majesty, if I may be excused."
