She looked at the crowds and stopped only a few moments to listen to the musicians and watch the dancers. Averlee admired the talent and skill of the performers. She knew most were slaves and forced to learn their craft. She pressed on to the Inn at the top of the large hill in the Garden District of the town. There the lords had houses in the town along with concubines. Averlee did have one female attendant, a young teen she chose from a slave caravan. She did not have a squire as many of the knights elite had. Averlee would be inline for the throne once her Father died. Her mother died under mysterious circumstances and there was rumor there was a younger child. Averlee was told there was no sibling. She knew her father took to bed with many concubines. He did not remarry.<br/><br/>She was treated with utmost respect and demanded it as she had grown rather spoiled by her father. She was head strong and learned politics and how to play the games. Averlee refused to be a trophy to a prince. She wanted to rule and would remain unmarried if she had to be. She requested a stag for supper and offered a crown gold piece to the best archer in town to hunt for one.
