It was a surprise to see a crowd gathering around a platform set in the WestEnd. The platform itself was set in the front of a stately manor house towards the end of the district, House Albaelia.

Once the crowd was settled, a slender figure descended the platform to address the audience. She was elegantly attired and presented a very poised presence before the crowd. She smiled as she began to address the gathered people.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I wish to thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend this impromptu gathering.

I wish to announce that I, Ilyona Tarissana Albaelia, am adding my name to the ballot for the Governership of Rhydin."

She paused a moment to allow the announcement to set in before continuing.

"I have been listening to the viewpoints and plans of the other candidates and I must say I am disturbed by the lack of substance and indeed the nastiness that has been exhibited thus far. Rhydin deserves better than this!

As you may know, I come from a distinguished family, whose fortunes are in shipment and trade. Each member of my family has an active hand in the business, so you may rest assured that you will be voting for a candidate who knows what hard work means!

As Governor, I promise to improve the health care, businesses and educations of this region. I will work closely with the authorities and the City guards to improve the security and safety of the citizens of Rhydin. My family has a history of charity and civic pride, and I hope to bring those ideals to the Citizens of Rhydin.

My opponents have just far have proven that they are exactly the opposite of what Rhydin needs. SO if you are content with Business as Usual, by all means, vote for one of my opponents. If you want to change Rhydin for the better, Please vote for the future....Cast your Vote for Ilyona!"

She paused a moment and allowed the crowd to calm again.

"Are there any questions?"

He stood in the shadows with the cowl of his black satin cape covering his features.

"Yes, I have a question," he thought to himself. "What is it going to take to control my wife's pretty aunt?"

He grinned and disappeared within the shadows.

One of those little known facts about the lady at the podium was where her true abilities lie. She was well aware of Lord Longden's presence in the shadows. She know when he came and when he left.

She had one of those knowing little smiles on her face as her gaze swept across the audience.

"Come now, my friends! Surely you have some questions for me."
