Elaine was perplexed by the whole situation. Trying to remember what happen soon it came flooding back. The betrayal, slaughter, the strange rescue she had endured and some tall, strong man…” Sitting up she leaned forward clutching her head ash the healer kindly dabbed it for her. “I am hungry thank you..” She said to the oddly dressed woman.<br/><br/>The princesses head pounded as if she had hit the ground hard, only remembering that she did. The man from memory or almost a dream entered carrying a lovely smelling stew with a piece of warm bread. The rain could be heard tapping on the tent above her. His head was slightly wet but his small smile was oddly warm. “Thank you. I think I can manage.” A pair of shoes were unstrung at the foot of her bed. Inserting her feet she did not tie the leather laces as she slowly walked over to a wooden chair sitting down “Where are we…?” The future queen held her head and took up the spoon in her right hand. Blowing it she took a portion of the stew and placed it in her mouth. Not the best tasting she ever had but it was filling. The bread tasted good as well as the pain in her head slowly subsided.<br/><br/>Looking up at him, Elaine finished and leaned back against the back of the wooden chair. “At this point I assume that you know who I am. So lets not beat around the preverbal bush. If my memory serves me right Theasar Lazeris or King Theasar as some call you just claimed a region in the mountains as a new nation at the area that once served as the border between my homeland and Garenat. Taking territory from both kingdoms my father fought against you before his assassination and never recognized you as king. Though apparently, recently, the king of Garenat has recognized your claim in exchange for a military alliance against another kingdom. Luckily, not mine. Now, I find myself in need of your assistance. I need to be escorted to the king of Garenat in an attempt to garner support in reclaiming my obviously overthrown kingdom. Then I must go to a few others and do the same. If I am successful and regain my land I will not only recognize you as king but also have a full alliance with you. As well as exclusive first choice in trading rights.” Sighing she put a piece of her brown hair behind her ear.<br/><br/>“However, another option lies before you. You could ransom me for a large profit, be recognized and potentially slaughtered by those ruffians. Although…” She said rubbing her head once more “Death could come to you in almost every scenario. Continuing, they could recognize your rule and do exactly what I already promised you I would do. They may or may not betray you. How am I to know…” Looking at him she could tell he was amused by her banter “Or you could just kill me and get it over with, because as I see it I am a dead woman in pretty much every likely scenario…” Waiting for his response she yawned. “May I first thank you for saving me. I appreciate your rescue no matter what decision you make. However, again I must ask, Where am I?”<br/>
