Aleris was a land in turmoil and amidst such turmoil the everyday citizenry were far less likely to notice unusual activity and it was for that very reason that she planned her arrival, or her return depending on how one looked at it, at just this moment. Turmoil or not she still did not wish to be recognized…not yet, anyway. For that reason it was a golden blonde head that bobbed through the crowds of Drybrush on Heruin on a mission for the regional land office. The parchment with the instructions for the land transaction to take place were clutched in her hands as if terrified of relaxing her grip lest the papers be caught by the wind and lost. She moved through the crowd confidently enough but there was still an air of newness to her, as if this were the first crowd of this size that she had experienced on her own.
Following the directions she had been given to the letter the land office was easily found and a soft jingle of bells announced her arrival as she pushed open the door and let it swing closed behind her. Golden yellow eyes fell to the clerk behind the desk and she smiled as she approached.
“Good afternoon, I am Dianthe Panthea and I am here as an emissary of the Princess de Sade,” she began as she began unrolling the parchments to allow them to be displayed before the clerk for perusal, the very top parchment confirming that Dianthe was telling the truth about being there on the Princess’ behalf, the royal seal boldly displayed at the bottom of the missive. “She has several land holdings in Aleris that need to be addressed, some to be traded in for different parcels and one purchase of a new land parcel, if you please.”
Another smile touched petal pink lips as she turned her glittering gaze back to the clerk having rushed through the explanation somewhat as if afraid she’d forget halfway through.
“She has several holdings on Heruin, she is keeping two parcels, the others to be traded. Here is a list of the trades and the acquisition she desires.”
The unrolled parchment was offered to the clerk where it clearly outlined the desired land transactions.

Stepping closer to the desk her voice lowered though there was no one else to overhear their conversation. She had been told this matter required the utmost discretion and she was determined to see to it that the Princess got what she wanted.
“The Princess would also appreciate a certain measure of discretion in this transaction. She will not be listing these holdings under her known name, Ameerah Amunette, but rather under an alias and wishes to be known simply as Princess Sidrahmeera for the time being. You understand she does not wish this to be common knowledge…”
With her final words a coin purse was produced and dropped to the desk top to make a loud clunking noise as the gold coins within rattled from the impact.
“Within is the necessary money for the purchase of the new parcel…plus a little extra to see to it that this transaction does not go any further than the land office records. It really is quite important.”
