<div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/ppOzMvN.jpg)</div><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Evelyn Mackenzie, Princess of Trissea, Ambassador to the Freeport Realm.<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Morning<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Castle Hall<br/><strong>Tag:</strong>Octavian, Open<br/><br/><hr/>Evelyn was stopped as Octavian lowered his sword blocking her way between him and the wall. She stopped, but didn't back away. She gave a look of mild annoyance as she listened to Octavian talk about his toys. "Oh you prefer smaller toys... I should have guessed." She glanced back at Mary and gave a quick wink to which Mary began snickering again.<br/><br/><em>What did he <strong>know</strong>?</em>She wondered as she listened to him talk about how he would attack the realm of Freeport if he were in charge of the invasion force. She listened quietly standing still, her dress crunching up against the blade. "I'm afraid the palace guard will be busy." She said quite plainly.<br/><br/>Almost immediately after, a cry rang out from somewhere deep in the palace walls. The sound of palace guards running through the halls spread quickly as the castle bells began to ring. Horns called all palace guards to work. While all of this was happening, Evelyn turned quickly and ran down the hallway away from Octavian and his men. She hoped that in the instant of the commotion, they would take their eyes off of her for a split second and that would give her the time she needed to get away.<br/><br/>Evelyn ran as quickly as she could, but she heard Octavian's men close behind her. She had a difficult time running in her dress, and cursed the fact that women were expected to wear them. She rounded a few corners, but didn't stand a chance against Octavian's men. They caught up to her and she stopped, giving up. She turned to face their questions.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Scenario One: Octavian Catches the Princess</div><div class="spoiler_body"> Evelyn ran as quickly as she could, but she heard Octavian and his men close behind her.

They didn't look away long. Perhaps Octavian even noticed that Evelyn had taken off, but gave a little smile loving the hunt, and gave her a chance. He liked the sport of it, after all. Evelyn and Mary rounded a few corners and went down a corridor, she could hear Octavian and his men close behind, but far enough that she had time to form a plan. <br/><br/>She rounded another corner and flung into a palace guard. "Help!" She cried, "Octavian and his men! They killed the queen and they aim to kill us too!" As Octavian and his men caught up, Princess Evelyn was hiding teary eyed behind the guard. There were 14 palace guards nearby, four in the group that Evelyn had gone to, hearing the commotion the other ten palace guards came closer to listen in. "Hold right there" the palace guards demanded drawing their swords and holding a hand out gesturing to Octavian.<br/><br/>As the guards were busy with Octavian and Octavian (was probably) trying to clear his name and tell the guards how they'd been duped, Evelyn slipped away. She exited a servant door near the kitchen, and quickly ran to the stables, got on horse and rode with Mary at her back, back to the orphanage. She was in a hurry, and didn't really try to keep her path hidden. She needed to get out of the empire. The pyres signalling that the invading force had crossed the border were lit on the far mountain. A signal from the frontier of the Freeport realm. The war had begun. The queen had been slain.</div></div>
