				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin, Prince of Anstaria, drummed his fingers on the arms of his throne. After his father's illness, he was placed in charge of this ridiculous venture. A peace treaty with Loidi. Just the thought of it made him sick. How could his kingdom trust that of Loidi after years of war. And, on top of that, the Loidites were backwoods magic users. He knew he couldn't trust that sort.<br>
<br>
But, it was his father's dream, and he was going to try. That was the least he could do. And, if it didn't go as planned, it wouldn't be his fault. In a few moments, the delegates from the surrounding kingdoms would come in to start the first round of negotiations. Both his and the Loidites would have mediators to help soothe the problems of the two kingdoms. He had picked the kingdom of Danbar to the south, a kingdom that was slowly moving away from magic and into the age of science. The Loidites had picked Goldspar, a kingdom that Gavin felt was just as traitorous.<br>
<br>
"You're worrying again." A cool, soothing hand was placed across his brow. He looked up at his twin sister, Diane. She shouldn't even be in the room, women knew nothing of politics. This was a man's game.<br>
<br>
"I'm fine, Diane," Gavin said, smiling. "You should leave before the delegates get here. I don't want you exposed to those foreigners."<br>
<br>
Diane nodded. "I was just worried about you." In truth, she was curious, but she understood that her brother worried. It was a foreigner that caused the most damage to Anstaria in the past, and no foreigner was going to get near his sister.<br>
<br>
Gavin and Diane were twins, but he was born first. Not that it mattered, he would have been heir to the kingdom anyway. Both had tan skin and dark red hair with bright blue eyes. Gavin was hoping to marry his sister off to a Duke in Danbar, and wanted to talk to Lord Martinez about that. As part of the peace treaty, Gavin knew that his father wanted Diane offered up on the platter to Loidi, but that would happen over his dead body.<br>
<br>
While Gavin waited for the first delegate to arrive, Diane went to hide in the garden. She would be able to see the delegates from there. She had heard a rumor that some of the delegates were women, and the idea of a woman in position of power interested her.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Indeed one of the delegates was a woman, one from Goldspar and she'd be among the first to arrive; having simply been closest to the area when word reached her.  There was something decidedly inhuman about her and it was painfully obvious; particularly in how she was taller than most men and seemed to be stronger built as well with a sort of supernatural allure.  Masako had arrived via nightmare the day before and had dismissed her demon-horse when they arrived in the gates of the city and strode confidently toward the palace.  "Out of my way." she'd repeatedly say to people getting influenced by her succubi-based appeal and grinned at it all.<br>
<br>
She was beautiful as well, long, almost knee-length hair that resembled gold spun out into silk laid thick top her head.  Her eyes a swimming oceanic blue color with slitted pupils.  Her skintone was tanned and her bustline very large.  In fact she'd throw one smitten young man so hard against a building it put a human-shaped dent in it, which kept the others away.  Masako was dressed in a leather corset that accentuated her bust over a full length black dress that bore a long slit up one side to her thigh and wore low-boots on her feet as she approached the castle.  "Knock knock" she smirked as she entered.<br>
<br>
When she approached the throne room and saw Gavin she bowed fluidly. "Hello your Highness." she said in a rich voice.  "You're much younger than I was lead to believe." she said, seeming to be unarmed.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">When Gavin first saw the Lady Masako, he felt his jaw drop. She was a vision of lovliness. He had never seen a woman so beautiful before. Shaking his head, he forced himself to think about the business at hand. Once he could think again, he found that some of her charm had worn off. If his sister ever dared to walk around like that, he'd hand her over the Ritter Hex to be burned. Seeing as Lady Masako was a guest, there was little Gavin could do to her.<br>
<br>
"My father is unable to attend this meeting," Gavin said. "As his son, I hold full authority in this matter. Would you like to wait for the other delegates, or see to your chambers. As a woman, Lady Masako, we set you up in the Queen's suites in the woman's quarters. I'm sure they will meet with your approval."<br>
<br>
He made a mental note to move his sister further away from the queen's suites. He did not trust what kind of foolishness on equality that this woman would poison his sister with.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Masako grinned wickedly at him, her blue eyes watching him for a smolderingly confident moment, studying him; trying to gauge his response to her.  Oh yes she could use it to her advantage at some point, she had other tricks up her sleeve as well but she wouldn't play those just yet.  The women's chambers? Oh yeah that's right, this place practiced sexist beliefs that held women as lower than men and had to separate them at all times it seemed. She hated that; having been raised in a virtual barbarian clan; lead by women for the most part: ok they were Amazons but who cared...? "I'll wait here for the others, I'd like to meet them before I wander off to see what you have to offer." She said casually.  <br>
<br>
She held her ground and didn't seem at all intimidated by him and his authority. "That's too bad though. I would've...liked to meet him." she purred to Gavin.  Sure she meant other things, afterall that's how Allurin and succubi got things they wanted.  "I don't doubt they they would meet my tastes but like I said; I'd want ot meet the others first so it doesn't seem like I'm hiding much." She said. "But I have to be formal and apologize, you're going to get a complaint about a young man getting hurled into a wall." she said.</div>

"If that happens again, though, I will have to ask you to leave. This is a peace meeting, so throwing my people into walls is not peaceful." Frankly, he wanted to tell her to dress like a lady and not walk around in clothes that revealed more then it concealed.<br>
<br>
He waved his hand to the row of chairs alongside the throne. "Have a seat, Lady Masako. I'm sure the other delegates will arrive shortly." He sent a silent prayer to the gods that no more women came to represent a kingdom. He could not work with women who thought themselves on the same level as he.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">The Lord Martinez's entrance to the city was nowhere near as dramatic as the previous deligate. His retinue arrived by carriage, two horse drawn, with simple, understated, well dressed men riding team and shotgun. The coach itself was well appointed, silver inlining, great craftmenship, a dark, polished wooden frame with an advanced suspension that seemed to let the vehicle ride over the dirt and roads without even the slightest of rocking. It came down the main avenue through the city, deviating not a bit from the most direct route towards the castle. A third of the way towards the castle, two men peeled out of the crowd and started pacing on either side of the carriage, the coachman seeming not to care. Another third, and two more peeled away,  joining hte first two, flanking the carriage on the four corners. They were well built, keeping an eye out towards the crowds and passerbys. No visable weapons upon them, but they walked with a confidence and alertness that was unmistakable as a professional guardsman. <br>
<br>
They approached the castle with nowhere near the uproar that the previous diplomat did. They halted where called for, the coachman presenting papers identifying themselves as invited guests and diplomats. A few polite words were offered from inside the carriage, nothing too revealing, only stating that they would be making thier quarters first, and to inform the host of that being the case.<br>
<br>
They pulled around to whatever buildings lay around to tend to beasts and vehicles, the passengers riding the whole way in before the coachman finally stepped down, opening the door and lowering the step. First came out an elderly woman, her hair long since turned white. Her eyes seemed to be failing her, needing the coachman to help her down to the ground. Her back was hunched over, her face wrinkled, her skin pale, the veins just beneath the surface starting to show in spots. She was dressed warmly, bundled in furs despite the season, a thick coat crafted from creatures native to Goldspar. She moved slowly, gingerly, her whole body seeming to be in pain from the way she moved. <br>
<br>
Next came out a gentleman, young, cunning. His hair slicked back and dark. He had a sharp look about his face, a straight nose, angular features, his mouth seemed almost frozen in a half smirk. He was tall and gaunt, having to crouch over badly to get out of the carriage door, standing up to a full seven feet when he was down on the ground. He wore the simple garb of a servant, black clothing, a finely tailored, trimmed vest, loose shirt dyed black, with a bit of a puff to the sleeves, his breaches pressed and smooth, his shoes well cobbled, buffed to a fine shine. He picked at some nigh invisible speck on his shoulder while waiting for the last one.<br>
<br>
And last, came Lord Martinez himself. The slight man was dressed in a long coat of a rich, dark green. Gold embroidery on the cuffs, well polished silver buttons, a loose cut, without belt. A silken white shirt lurked beneath it, tailored to fit him almost perfectly, nearly snug against his frame. A wide black leather belt sinched up around his waist, with a buckle wrought of polished brass, upon his right side a short dagger scabbard, inlaid with silver, its handle silver with small rubies embedded in it. It was clearly a ceremonial and decorative piece, and not a functional weapon. He wore a pair of high boots, coming up past his knee, crafted of fine, soft brown leather, his green silken breeches tucked into the boots.<br>
<br>
He moved confidently, his retinue doing what they were ment for, each knowing thier job and not needing the Lord's reminders. The Lord gazed around slowly, taking in this humble area of the castle, its stables, knowing that there were probably over a dozen pairs of eyes watching them in addition to the those who were helping house the animals.<br>
<br>
"To our quarters," he ordered, wondering which of those pairs of eyes would be responsible for such accomodations and waiting to do his job.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin nodded. "Very well, Lady Masako, it will be ordered that none shall touch you," he said. "Will that be satisfactory?" At that moment, a servant came in and whispered in the prince's ear. He waved the servant away and turned to Masako. "Another delegate from arrived. Lord Martinez has requested a chance to clean up in his quarters first. Why don't we have some refreshments served while we wait?" He motioned for a servant to bring a fruit tray and some wine.<br>
<br>
*******************<br>
<br>
In the gardens, Diana looked around the wall as the next delegate arrived. She had never been allowed to see any foreigners and was fascinated by the carriage and different style of dress. She felt rather plain when compaired to the old woman. When the very regal man announced that he wanted to see his quarters, she stepped out of the garden.<br>
<br>
"A servant can take you to your quarters, sir, but the woman will have to come with me to the women's quarters," she said. "I'm sorry, but that is how things are done here. If I can have your names, I'll know which rooms would be set aside for her."</div>

She was often torn like that; her half succubus side driving her toward the attention but her human pride kept her away from getting too much of it.  "I would like that, thank you. You're a most gracious host." Masako said pleasantly and grabbed one of the oranges and flicked it into the air a few times before wiping it off off and sniffed it to detect any poison or other impurities and was pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn't.  She would take a bite out of it, waxy skin and all, displaying for a moment, non-human type fangs as she did.  "It's delicious."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Tansen and his companions arrived in a very meaningful manner. Through magic they were able to bring themselves to the courtyard directly, no need for such things as carriages. Such things were waists of time when they had such power at their finger tips. But it would also be an insult to the magic hating people of Anstaria to come into their home in such a manor.<br>
<br>
He took a quick glance around the courtyard, dressed in his court clothing, ready to begin negotiations. He his apparel included, a rather tight fitting top, colored in multiple shades of red, and loose fitting silken black pants. The others around him wearing relatively similar clothing, he caught the attention of a servant. "You Anstarian! Give word that I shall arrive into the meeting room soon." He sent the man off.<br>
<br>
Looking at his advisers and giving nods of approval, the group traveled into the building.<br>
<br>
One young man stayed back, though he seemed to be wearing the clothes of an adviser. His red robes draping around his body, he would rather see what the area was like. The politics being boring for Deston. He walked along the courtyard watching the foreigners go about there busy lives. He all found it very weird, they each seeming to have different do-dads and things of the sort. He found himself walking into the another section of the courtyards, away from the entrance, where flowers grew in beautiful patterns.<br>
<br>
He began to browse the distinct flowers often finding herbs and plants rare to Loidi, that he could often use in his spells. As he went along he noticed a young lady standing on bench looking into a room of the palace. He immediately was able to distinguish her as an Anstarian. Hearing that such women in this land often acted far different than in his own land he decided to watch her, and see if he could spot any himself.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Entering the courtyard after his nephews and advisers Alastor sat down on a bench that was about four feet away. He was wearing a nice printed dark green and dark red mage outfit that he got when he became a first enchanter. Holding his amulet that was held by a gold chain he looks around the garden that he only dreamed of seeing when his country were to take it over. The servants that passed him as he sat there looked at him as if he didn't belong. In reality he didn't.<br>
<br>
When he heard one of the servants say that they should tell a guard he got up and walked into the building where his eldest nephew entered. Alastor was not the type to use his title to get other servants to do as he pleased unless they were told to. There was nothing wrong with people speaking their mind so he just let it be.<br>
<br>
Anstaria had a nice layout for their castle that he could not help but look at the architecture of it. "I wonder how long this could withstand my magic." One of the guards looked at him and told him to keep it moving. Looking back at him he nods and moves on to the conference room. When he entered he saw all four kingdoms in one room with them trying to kill each other. Walking around the table he finds a seat next to Tansen. Leaning in he asked him, "Where is your brother?"<br>
<br>
Alastor was always concerned for Deston's safety and tried to watch him the the best he could but was hard because he still had other matters to attend to.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin's lip curled with disgust as he watched Masako eat the orange; rind and all. He handed her a napkin, wondering why the Goldsparites had picked her to represent them. Maybe she had some connection to the royal family of Loidi? Or she could have just been the one to intercept the messenger. Whatever the case, he really questioned the judgement of that decision.<br>
<br>
Just then, a servant came running in. "Your Highness! The Loidites arrived!"<br>
<br>
"Good. And the Danbarians?"<br>
<br>
"Arrived as well."<br>
<br>
"Send them in."<br>
<br>
The servant shivered. "Your Highness, the Loidites appeared out of thin air. They used magic, your Highness."<br>
<br>
Gavin swore. They had given him their word! This was not a good start to these meetings.<br>
<br>
************<br>
<br>
Diane screamed as the group appeared in the courtyard. She turned and ran back in the garden, needing to warn her brother. Wizards, in Anstaria! Someone had to call on the Ritter Hex to take care of those unnatural creatures. She wasn't allowed in the throne room, but she tried to get her brother's attention by climbing up on a bench under the windows to the throne room. She could see him, but he was too busy to notice her.<br>
<br>
Climbing down, she gave a yelp as she noticed one of the Loidites had seen her. Her hand went up to grasp the broach that closed the neck of her dress. She was covered from head to toe, but she felt exposed.<br>
<br>
"Don't come near me," she said, "or I'll scream."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Masako had been chosen because at the time she had a legitimate claim to the throne of Goldspar as it was currently, that and they felt that sending a woman would shake the Anatasians up enough to make them lose their focus on the Loidites for a bit.  She had instructions to do whatever she could to prevent them from making peace and drive them headlong into war if it was at all possible. She polished off the orange easily enough, grinning faintly at the look of disgust that Gavin was giving her.  "Pardon me mi'lord, but if you don't like how i eat the oranges, then don't look." She pointed out.  "Though I am interested. How are you EXPECTING me to act? hmmmm?" she purred and glanced at the door.<br>
<br>
She'd felt the pulsewave of the magical teleportation and knew that the Loiditess had arrived.. She remained as she was and relaxed, feeling no pressure to get up to greet them yet.  She had a guardian that came with her but he was using magic to render himself invisible to anyone but her and anyone that could see magical energy.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin looked as though he had swallowed a bug. It wasn't her question that bothered him, but that she had voiced a question he had not asked. In fact, this was about the third time she had done it. He had thought the first time was just a coincidence. The second time made the hairs on his arms stand on end. Now, he couldn't ignore it.<br>
<br>
"My dear Lady Masako," he said through gritted teeth, "why do I have the feeling you're reading my mind? Though I can't stop you from being a magic-user, I can ask that you refrain from showing off your unnatural talents while in my kingdom. Anstaria has always been, and will always be, a safe haven from those tainted by magic. Do not flaunt it in my face."<br>
<br>
He didn't have to remind her that he was royalty and this was his kingdom. She was a guest and should respect that. "As for how I expect you to act, as a lady would be nice. Feet off the table and use manners when you eat. Didn't they teach that in Goldspar?" He was starting to wonder if his plan to allow his sister to join the delegates for dinner was a wise one. If this was what he would be exposing his innocent sister to, then he'd be better off locking her in the tower until they all went away.</div>

The voice was powerful and commanded authority, its speaker was upright and regal; but most of all the voice and speaker were feminine. Comtesse Valere de Morhban, along with her sister, had arrived only moments before and where escorted into the hall by a series of flanking guards. With the sisters were a series of servants which seemed more objects of art then any practical tool; all were female, save a curious male that trailed at the end.<br>
<br>
With furs draping across her shoulders the Comtesse made her way, she was dressed simply; but elegantly. Of the two Valere was the more austere. Her clothes may have been cut from the finest fabrics; but they did nothing to make her look like a whore.<br>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin stood up. This group of women put him slightly more at ease. Though he still disagreed with women in politics, this group seemed a little more like his opinion of delegates should be.<br>
<br>
"You must be the Comtesses Morhbar," he said, smiling. "I recieved the notice from Goldspar that you would be joining the delegates, but it was rather late. I appoligize, but your rooms aren't ready yet. They will be before dinner, if you wish to freshen up. Until then, why don't you join us?"<br>
<br>
He gustured to the long table by the throne. He was rather pleased by this wave of delegates. It was almost enough that he thought that his sister might actually get to meet them. Almost enough.<br>
<br>
"We are just waiting on the Danbarians, who I believe are freshening up, and the Loidites, who made quite an entrance," Gavin said, the last part though a false smile and gritted teeth. He would have to talk to the Loidites about using magic openly on his land.</div>

"Nice to see you finally got here. Have trouble?" she asked in a nice enough tone.  She was considerably nicer to them than she was to Gavin, even showing them a measure of courtesy, that would probably upset him but that's how she was. She didn't like men as a whole except for a few key individuals whom weren't there.<br>

Seemingly from the wall nearby, a young man with long Light-red hair and a creamy, fair skintone with orange-red eyes wearing black leather in both his vest, pants and boots with a dark blue undertunic.  "Hello there Ladies." he said to the new delegates politely and nodded a greeting to Gavin. "Sorry if I've surprised you but I was instructed to stay more or less out of sight." He said politely, he was a blatant pretty boy with a navy blue..hairband?</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin's face turned an interesting shade of purple as the man suddenly appeared. It was just another glitch in the day. He couldn't believe the gall of these people! Magic users on his land, women walking around half dressed, invisible men just prancing into his throne room! It was too much.<br>
<br>
"You, sir, will hand over any magical device you used to make yourself unseen," he ordered. "No more magic! You will not be invisible in my castle."<br>
<br>
Taking a deep breath, he pulled a servant closer. "Get the Ritter Hex to guard my sister until all of the delegates leave!" He would also place a few around him as bodyguards. He didn't trust magic, and this was a good reason why. He couldn't wait until this treaty was over with. He wanted his nice, peaceful kingdom back in order and magic banished again.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Reina just gave him a blithe stare for a moment, he had a kind of cold indifference to him like nothing here fazed or bothered him.  "I won't hand it over because I know I won't get it back. But I give you my word on my reputation that I won't use it again." He said, removing a small ring from his finger and pocketed it and leaned up against the wall and thought it might be good to be honest and removed his hairband, exposing his cat ear horns and put it away as well.  "Is that better? I assure you that I'm totally unarmed, you can check for yourself if you wish." he said with a shrug. Instead, he produced a comb and began to brush out his long hair since he had nothing much more to do, careful to try and use it to conceal as much of his horns as possible.  Before that, he removed a ring from his other hand that was making him able to supernaturally evade attacks.<br>
<br>
Masako facepalmed a bit and actually looked shamefaced. "I'm sorry. I forgot to mention it..." she said ruefully.  She had to wonder for a moment if Gavin had something against them personally for being infernally heritaged.  Perhaps the blithe Reina should've been the delegate, he was known throughout Goldspar to be both ruthless but honorable about agreements. But his fee was rather high, a dark horse that owed allegiance to nobody and worked for the highest bidder. The only jobs he wouldn't take would be those that involved putting children at risk or attacking the disabled.  And being half-dressed? Masako wore this because she was comfortable like that; she hated gowns and concealing dresses; feeling more comfortable in armor than satin.  "I assure you Lord Gavin that my bodyguard isn't here for any other reason than to be a bodyguard." she said politely.</div>

The Lord turned to see, of all things, a woman being the one to greet him. The mild shock that he felt never came to his face beyond a slight focusing on his eyes upon her, squinting in to make sure it was actually a "Her" and not just an effeminate male. He recovered smoothly from it, giving the woman a deep bow at his waist, right foot forward, bending down so far that his head was nearly at his knees.<br>
<br>
Her appearance was unmistakable. So alike the family that he had been briefed upon, she was surely of the royal line. He rose slowly from the bow after proper time, looking the woman in the face. "I ask that this man accompany her. Her health is fragile and he is her personal physician, well familiar with her conditions and cures," he gestured towards the sharp featured man who came out right before him. <br>
<br>
With that put forth, he waited for the servants to arrive and show them to thier quarters, his men handled the baggage, taking it down from the carriage, including several large brass bound trunks, of a darkly stained hardwood. The Lord, Coachman, Doctor, and elderly lady started walking out of the stables, sauntering towards the gardens in a loose diamond formation, the Lord at the point, the Doctor to his right, hanging back slightly more to watch over the elderly woman at the rear, while the coachman was at his left, closer to his side.<br>
<br>
They were there to watch the Loidites appear. And stood watching impassively as one of them took quite a shine to the princess. The Lord cleared his throat loudly towards the young man who had taken the shine upon her. He said nothing, but gave the man a hard stare. She was the princess, and the way this land was, he fully expected there to be people watching her, probably even those knights who fought and slayed wizards.<br>
<br>
"First time from home, I gather," he said quietly towards the man, gesturing subtly for him to come over towards his side, rather than sit out there like a bump on a log staring at the princess. "Quite curious about this place, so different from your own. Forgetting about the basics in awe of the new and strange, quite understandable."<br>
<br>
With that, new Loidite in tow or not, he would follow after the servants leading his men and his baggage to their quarters.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Tansen walked into the meeting room, a wide smile on his face. It was always going to be a good day when he was able to cause havoc in Anstaria. He looked around the meeting room. He could see the room was already at each others throats, and negotiations were not even started yet. He could see this war starting up rather soon once again.<br>
<br>
"My dear apologize, prince. We were a bit strapped on time, deciding to take the quicker route." He bowed to the group that had gathered, then taking his seat. As his uncle sat beside him, laying the question down, Tansen shrugged. He never really knew where his younger brother was. Often getting in trouble most of the time. He was sure to hear stories of him later on in the day. "I don't know uncle. He was told to follow us into the room, but you know how he is. Never one for the politics. If you are worried for him send a guard to find him."<br>
<br>
---------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
Deston looked at the woman in shock, nearly laughing at her. "And why would you do such a crazy thing?" He had never been outside of Loidi, not truly understanding the Anstarian way. The woman of this land seemed so crazy and befuddling. He crossed his arms smiling at her. "What is it you have to scream about?"<br>
<br>
The woman seemed as if she was in a panicked state, for what he had no clue. If nothing else it would provide a good story for later on, but at the moment she was providing entertainment. Deston hated these political meetings. Always full of such talk and nothing ever really happened. Often feeling as if he would have more fun in a seaming house. At least there people actually spoke their mind.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin sighed as the Loidite party entered the room. He sat back down to hide his shaking hands. "Prince Tansen, it is an honor to finally meet you. Please, have a seat. We are just waiting for the Danbarians, then we can start." He tried to smile, but his nerves were shot. Having so many strangers in his home.<br>
<br>
"I took the liberty of infoming my cooks of the list of foods your father sent at the beginning of the talks for this treaty," Gavin said. "Tonight, as a guesture of peace, we will dine on the favorite foods of Loidi."<br>

Diane eased herself away from the magic-user. He didn't seem dangerous, but she had grown up on stories of what magic could do. She didn't want her soul sucked from her body.<br>
<br>
"Why would I scream," she asked. "You're a magic-user. I just saw you appear out of no where. You're dangerous." She kept her eyes on him as she started out of the gardens when a squad of the Ritter Hex approached her.<br>
<br>
"Your Highness, your brother has declared that we are to escort you while his guests are in the palace," one of the Ritter Hex announced. "We believe it would be best for you to return to your chambers until dinner."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"Many thanks my lord, we hope such gestures shall lead to a peace between our nations." Tansen smiled, though he hated the thought of Anstarians, butchering his favorite foods. The very thought of peace sickened him. After all the lives that had been lost, he still didn't agree with his father about peace ever laying between the nations. But if it would keep his country safe then so be it. There was always the next day to kill Anstarians.<br>

"Ok so you can point out the obvious." Deston laughed as she backed away. "I fail to see the difference between me and the Ritter Hex your land holds." He looked at her expectantly.<br>
<br>
No sooner had he spoke the words then did the men approach. "Speak of the devils. Oh your part of the royal family?" Deston said puzzled. He had no idea why she would be out here, instead of inside. She certainly seemed interested in what was going on.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Alastor was a tad pissed when he was that Deston was told to follow. Looking back at his student and bodyguard he told her to go find Deston. Not being the type of person to have any bodyguard he chose to have his student, Lana. Lana is the only female to be trained in magic and to be a soldier. As Alastor was visiting the mage area of the kingdom he saw this little girl failing at every spell she cast. So he decided to take her in and train her to be his special bodyguard.<br>
<br>
Alastor looked towards Prince Davin and saw that things might not go as he and his brother wanted. Waiting for the Danbarians to arrive he sits in his chair and plays with his amulet while chanting words underneath his breath. The chant was prayer for things not to get out of hand.<br>
<br>
----------------------------<br>
<br>
Lana was wearing this special mage garb that Alastor gave to her just in case something were to happen while he as not around. Alastor did not have kids so he treated Lana as if she was his own child. She did not have parents. They died around the time Alastor took her in as a student. <br>
<br>
As she walked down the hall and out to the garden again she looks around to find Deston. Finding him near the Princess of Anstaria and Ritter Hex she was a bit scared for his life. "Deston! You uncle wants you to come to the meeting right away," talking in a intimidating voice so the Ritter Hex would know not to try anything.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">While Gavin waited on the Danbarians to join the meeting, he turned to Prince Tansen. "While I understand your haste to join us, I must ask that you refrain from magic while in my kingdom. It would make my people afraid, and we are trying to put their fears at rest. YOu do understand my position, your Highness?"<br>
<br>
*******************<br>
<br>
Diane allowed the Ritter Hex to take up positions at all sides of her. She nodded to the young mage. "I am her highness, Princess Diane of Anstaria." It didn't surprise her that he hadn't known about her. Her family kept her under lock and key most of the time.<br>
<br>
She was leaving as the woman came up, calling to the man. Diane was surprised herself to hear that he was the Loidite prince. He was younger then she had heard. Was the heir, or the brother? Possibly the brother, as the heir would be talking to her brother.<br>
<br>
She left with her escorts to go to her room. Accepting her fate, she was locked inside after being told she should get ready for dinner that night.</div>

Very well we shall keep the use of our magic to a minimum in your kingdom, my lord." Tansen nodded, a very serious look upon his face. His finger tapping upon the chair, impatiently waiting.<br>

"Till dinner then my lady!" Deston shouted as the group drifted away. He would never had guessed he was talking to the princess of the land. Shrugging her turned to see Lana, shouting for him.<br>
<br>
"Must I? All they do is talk. I honestly don't know how you can stand it Lana." He complained, walking back towards her, evidently unaware of the danger in which he was just in.</div>

That is all I can ask, really." He didn't want to start the treaty negotiations without Danbar present, but he could see how impatient Tansen was. Not that he blamed him, he was impatient as well.<br>
<br>
"Prince Tansen, why don't we begin? We can save the tough matters for when both sets of mediators are here, but for now, why don't we talk about something that I feel we can come to terms on," Gavin said. "As you know, for centuries, Anstaria has kept the North passage guarded. I am not ashamed to say, it was to keep your people out. Your people have done the same thing on the other side of the pass; to keep us out, I imagine.<br>

"My proposal is we both keep only the same number of people at the pass. We can agree on a number, I'm sure," Gavin said.</div>

Alastor knew that Prince Davin feared his nephew's magic. But not caring about what they were talking about he looks at the door hoping to see Deston and Lana. Knowing that there were Ritter Hex running about he feared for them both and hopped to see them soon<br>
<br>
------------------------<br>
<br>
Lana still had her scary face on until the Ritter Hex turned the corner. Looking up at Deston she tells him, "Yes, Deston you have to go. I don't like it anymore than you do...but we have to sit and wait for it to end. Well you sit I must stand to make sure no one tries to do anything stupid to fa..." It was hard for Lana not to say the word since she has been with him for almost her whole life.<br>
<br>
"Well Deston at least you get to say something when you fear that it was not fair." As they walked back to the conference room she walks behind the Prince to keep a good eye on him. When Lana made it to the room she sees that Alastor was looking at the door.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">((*stretches the RP muscle*))<br>
<br>
For once it had been HonorÃ© that been laid back and watching, not ValÃ¨re. It was impossible for anyone to tell them apart. Including their own mother. Which was part of the reason they shared the title. The other reasons were more...personal. She lifted the fur hood from her head, and let the fur slide off her body, only to be caught by a waiting attendant servant who moved as if her life depending upon it, treating the animal skin coat with as much care as a child. HonorÃ© paid absolutely no mind to the slave, simply expecting it to be done. A regal air about her person that showed despite their 'status' in the delegates, she had no cause for fear or unworthiness. <br>
<br>
Straightening the length of her gown, she continued to look about the room, remaining silent for the moment as her frosty blue gray eyes moved over each person in the room, pausing to store the information somewhere in the back of her mind for later perusal. As her head turned the delicate braids of her hair that looped around the nape of her neck moved up and over her shoulder to fall gently at her breasts before falling back in place as her gaze came back to it's starting point. It was a unique hairstyle that drew attention to the admirably statuesque brunettes. Both she and her sister shared the same hair style.<br>
<br>
Clothing, they differed only slightly, HonorÃ© opting for a slightly less austere manner of dress. The dress was lower cut than ValerÃ©, showing off what her sister conserved, a nice generous but not overly abundant C cup. It was not to be considered scandalous, it fit to her form. While she was no warrior woman to be covered with unsightly muscle, her form had not given over to fat like many woman. Once at her hip, the dress was stopped by a slender corded belt of gold, trimmed with precious droplet gems, before falling to the floor in elegant folds.<br>
<br>
But when Lady Masako's 'creature' spoke, an elegant frown of distaste rippled across her lips, although only her sister could possibly tell it not a frown of surprise that she had painted upon her face in response. But before she could or would say anything in return, a jeu de paume batting conversation between the being, the prince and the lady began. The riding crop that HonorÃ© carried in one hand was clenched as the only visible sign of aggravation. Was the 'Lady' really that stupid? She was going to completely ruin any hope that Goldspar had of using this situation to its advantage. Personally, she was rather surprised that the prince didn't simply lock away or banish the 'Lady' for her blatant disregard of the rules of engagement at a diplomatic meeting. After all, they were being hosted by the prince, he had the right to situate everything to his liking. Including forms of conduct. But that surprise only showed with a lift of her eyebrow. She'd had such hopes for the conduct of the prince. Hopefully he was simply trying to be diplomatic and wasn't simply weak. <br>
<br>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Masako cut a hard glare on the two regal looking women. greedy bitches they were in her mind; arrogant women that didn't get their hands dirty and didn't have to earn their spot as nobility by blood and battle.  She kept quiet where she was though before she got into anymore trouble, her arms crossed under her breasts and a blatantly sour look on her face. She hated dealing with men, to her they were all the same; arrogant morons that all had penis envy of each other and lived off their own egos, Gavin was no different. She was starting to wonder if most Anstarians were gay or something as well.  <br>
<br>
Reina remained completely impassive about it and politely greeted the others as they arrived, but he could sense his own delegates private glower at him.  He was used to it; because his grandmother had dallied with a demon in the past didn't mean anything now but everyone wanted to think that it did. Idiots, the lot of them.  But the look he gave Valere showed the fact he didn't give a damn about her opinion of him.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin also placed the papers in front of the Comtesses. "Seeing as you are here to see to the good of Loidi, I would also like your input." He didn't mention the still missing Dabarians. He was confident that they could come to terms on this without any real help.<br>
<br>
If he had to work with women, he preferrd the Comtesses. They were closer to the modesty that Anstarian women posessed. While not as modest, they were not as showy as the Baroness. For a man of Anstaria, it was the modesty and mystery of a woman that made her sensual. He was more inclined to Valera, who's dress was not as low cut.<br>
<br>
*******************<br>
<br>
In her room, Diane called on her lady's maid to help her change for dinner. Though it was a while away, getting in and out of the dresses and fixing her hair could take some time. She had barely met the delegates, and she wanted to make a good impression. Her dress would be the very example of feminity of Anstaria.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">A man enters in a flutter of white, his snowy cloak billows behind him, and the light shines off the pearl enamel of his plate.  He stalks swiftly across the carpets, an arrow straight, deadly swift line toward Lady Masenko's bodyguard.  His sword is drawn in a flash, and a bloody spatter smacks into the stone walls behind the man when the knight smashes in Reina's head with his hilt.<br>
<br>
He recovers the ring from the man's pocket.  "You two, drag him into a cell."  He orders two of the many Ritter Hex who are now flooding the room.  "You two, keep the 'Lady' company for the duration of her stay." he points to Masenko with his sword.  "Two on each Loidite."  He orders some more men.<br>
<br>
Two men go on either side of Gavin as well.  The visitors who have not expressed any hostilities remain free, while each other is sandwiched by two armored Knights.<br>
<br>
He strides to the center of the room and watches everyone's face as Reina is dragged out.  "There is no magic in Anstaria."  He states simply.  "There is no magic in Anstaria." He repeats.  "Don't make me tell you this a third time."<br>
<br>
"Prince Gavin, I suggest you get underway.  This many hotheads in one room with nothing to do is a boiling pot."<br>
<br>
He sheathes his sword, but not his shield, and stands near Gavin, his helm concealing his face.</div>

<br>
"Ritter Eloran," he said, "while I appreciate your enthusiam for our laws, please don't manhandle my guests on the first day." He stood and turned to his guests. "I appologize for this. I'd like to introduce you to the Ritter Hex. They make sure that magic doesn't exist in Anstaria. They take their jobs seriously."<br>
<br>
He turned to the Ritter Hex. "Though, from now on, if my guests promise to not use magic in the public eye, I'm sure you can promise to not arrest them."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">HonorÃ© couldn't help it. The whole situation was completely absurd. Like something out of some high farce. A master of her own emotions, she did at least have a sense of humor and the last line of the prince was just too much for her not to be amused. She laughed, a soft dulcet laugh that did not intrude upon the setting, but simply laughed for the fact that it was funny. The entire situation. But she did not smother her laughter either. She simply let it state its presence and then die naturally, no matter how many hostile faces turned her way.<br>
<br>
"Your Royal Highness." After all, it would not do to give anything less than his due to the royal personage hosting the proceedings. "I think everyone has established the rules you desire at this meeting. Could we not perchance turn to the reason we are all here? Perhaps in the politics that most of us are familiar with there will not be any untoward.." a small bruising comment towards the previous behavior exhibited. "behavior and we can learn to, if not enjoy each others company, work towards an amicable goal?"<br>
<br>
The Ritter Hex got her attention though, the way he took command of the situation pleased her, even if the outcome was less than appealing. He'd be interesting to speak to, she thought.</div>

Eloran's face is concealed, but his response takes a moment.  "I will <i>try</i> not use lethal force as a first response.  Your man will survive, 'Lady' Masenko."  He says the word harshly.  "An invisible man is a security risk, you see."<br>
<br>
He is blushing beneath his visor, after that rush of adrenaline has ended.  He acted properly.  The only reason the teleporting Loidite's weren't dead is because that would ruin Gavin's negotiation attempt right off the bat.  "I would ask our visitors to please <i>respect</i> our culture while they are guests <i>in our homes</i>."<br>

				<div class="bbWrapper">It had been an hour and a half, since the carriage arrived and the deligate from Danbar. His retinue had brought him to his quarters, taking thier time to sweep through the room before the Lord ever even stepped foot into it. Objects in the shadows, spotting what secrets might lie in the quarters, secret passages, spy holes and listening spots, concealed areas. Some were dealt with, even if that was simple as minorly rearranging a room to block access or sight. Some were left alone. Trunks were moved in, and the room was prepared for the Lord. <br>
<br>
A short wash later, and the Lord was feeling much better. A delicate scent of jasmine left from the water, his coat removed, replaced with a lighter jacket of a dark blue coloring, a thin garmet it fit snug on his thin frame, left open along his front. It bore a simple style, without pockets or obtrusion upon it. A simple row of silver buttons down the front, a two inch wide collar standing up around his neck, made of a heavier, stiffer black material. It was trimmed in silver stitching, obviously the work of a true artisan who took pride in the delicate, shifting patterns he or she stitched, finished with a small replica of his clan's emblem upon the right collar. <br>
<br>
Dressed, clean, relaxed, he finally made his way to the meeting. He attended alone, unlike the other deligates. He approached the chambers at a stately pace, leaving a word with whatever servant was outside to announce his presence to the crown prince, preferring to arrive within protocols rather than a rude bursting in upon the gathering. <br>
<br>
As soon as he was signaled to be allowed entry, he stepped through the doors, offering a bow to the host once he took a step through the portal, much as he had to the princess before. He rose, saying nothing as he crossed the room. He stood up tall and straight, shoulders back, chin up, unconcerned with the sight of blood in the room, the downed man, the armed knights, or the savage looking counterpart from Goldspar. He took his seat with grace, pulling up to the negioation table in silence. His eyes looked to the Prince, waiting for a sign that the real work was about to begin.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin smiled as Lord Martinez entered the room. Now they could get down to business. "Lord Martinez, welcome. Now, we can start some of the negotiations before dinner. I trust you found your rooms acceptable?"<br>
<br>
He pointed to the papers in front of him and Prince Tansen. "We were going over the new numbers for the sentries at either side of the NOrth Pass. Would you like to offer any input?" Gavin hadn't worked with Lord Martinez, but his father gave the man a glowing review. For most of the trade agreements with Danbar, Lord Martinez was the man who signed them. If anyone would know how the Loidite trade was, it would be this man.<br>
<br>
Gavin also intended on talking to Martinez about the marriage of his sister. The king wanted Diane's marriage to further the treaty, but Gavin was not about to hand his sister over to a mage.</div>

His gaze wandered for just a moment as the Prince spoke, keeping a quick glance at the other deligates, registering thier appearances and reactions in his mind before he focused back on the question at hand.<br>

He cleared his throat quietly, his gaze shifting back to the deligates from Loidi before returning to the Prince. With a calm, collected aplomb he answered, "A strengthening of the garrisons on both sides would be most beneficial."</div>

Gavin knew the logic in Martinez's idea, but he didn't want to give Loidi a reason to build an army. The North Pass was often the point where either side would declare a need for an army. He had hoped to show a guesture of peace by not having the North Pass be so hostile. However, he didn't like the idea of leaving it vulnerable. Who knew what the Loidites would do?<br>

"For peace, your highness, and the prosperity of both nations. A smaller garrison would be more, susceptible to certain improprieties that occur upon border garrisons. A larger garrison would be less likely to falter.

				<div class="bbWrapper">Masako seemed almost completely unaffected by the actions taken, the boy was more demonic than she was and fully capable of escaping from a prison cell if need be.  this was already getting tiresome and she was just about to up and leave herself seeing as her ability to sway the male gender by passive (infernal) means didn't work on the hardheaded Anstarians.  "Do what you believe in I suppose.  At least I can respect someone for taking action instead of merely talking." she said directing a faint gimlet glare at the other delegates.  <br>
<br>
Despite the strike, Reina was already coming back around; having always been quick to recover and the fact he twisted out of the way enough on pure instinct to avoid being totally hit by it.  "You Ritter Hex sure are strict." he said unemotionally but in an absolutely frigid tone." the tiefling said and caught up on hish feet and got up to them while being drug.  "I'm not going to violate my contract with the goldsparite nobility and not attend to them, even the Comtess'." He said and dropped his weight suddenly and slid backward, pulling himself free of their grasp.  "I don't have any real magical abilities other than my overall nature." He shrugged and looked at the others. "and I'm sure you knights understand the propriety of a contractual agreement do you not?" Reina said, the cold "I don't care" tone he had perhaps was surprising.<br>
<br>
Masako laughed openly. "Oh just let him go, I beg of you. Please." she said, turning her charm on the Hex with a batting of her eyes and a demure, pretty smile. "In fact, if it would please his highness, I shall even go and change my outfit since he finds it offensive." She added in, figuring it would be indeed best to simply make the change than have EVERYONE looking down on her.</div>

I haven't said a word about your attire, and yet, this is the third time or so that you've voiced my thoughts for me. If you do so once more, I will take it as show of power and place you under house arrest until we can ship you back to Goldspar. The Loidites have kindly refrained from any more displays of power since their arrival, but you have not. I do not like the idea of people reading my mind, trespassing where they are not wanted. Refrain from it, or else."<br>
<br>
Standing, he took up the papers. "That being said, I think a breather is in order. You will be escorted to your rooms if you wish to change and freshen up. Baroness Masako, I do suggest you change. My sister will be joining us for dinner, and I would rather she not be exposed to your displays."<br>
<br>
"The Ritter Hex will act as your escorts, for everyone. As you can see, I am not asking for more then I am willing to take, as Ritter Eloran is my personal guard." Gavin moved toward the door. "Perhaps, negotiations will be smoother when one's mind is more at ease."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Despite how much it seemed a lot of time had passed, HonorÃ© knew that it had not and all the drama had only taken minutes of their time. Somehow she doubted that their rooms were ready if they hadn't been before their arrival. But as long as she could find a basin, she could at least freshen up more than she was. She cast her gaze over the assemblage before pausing at her and her sister's counterpart and mentally shook her head and moved on, making note of each face and name before moving back to the prince.<br>
<br>
"Your royal Highness. I understand that our particular situation had caught you unprepared, but if you could at least allow me and my sister a place to freshen up personally, it would mean a great deal to us. Our servants can wait, but we do have a gift for you and your sister that I would prefer seen presented before any politics begin." After all, it was just proper to give a host a gift when visiting their home.</div>

Turning, she touched the riding crop gently to the face of first one slave, and then another, the touch of the leather sending a small shiver through each of the slaves. They were trained to her touch after all, and the crop merely an extension of that. Without a word, each of the rose from their kneeling position and gracefully moved towards the door, back to the carriage and the gift that the sisters would have time to look over.<br>
<br>
Giving a small nod to ValÃ¨re, HonorÃ© strode towards the guard that had been indicated with a grace that belied her own personal strength. It seemed almost as if she truly glided. She gave him a small smile, actually paying attention to one who generally did not receive much attention. In a way, most people believed that a soldier was there as unseen protection and decoration. But HonorÃ© was firmly of the mind which that which protected can also kills, so it does good to pay them mind.<br>
<br>
"If you please, good sirrah."<br>

With a salute and bow, the soldier turned, leading the two sisters towards the room.</div>

Alastor was looking at he Ritter Hex that just knocked out Masako's bodyguard. Not liking what he did Alastor was still a guest and could not say anything to him. Looking back at Lana he gave the look of no magic. When Prince Gavin asked about the number of men should be at the outpost he was going to say something but he was not here to do the negotiations, he was just here to make sure his nephews were safe and things went smoothly. Playing with his amulet he patiently waits for his nephew to answer the man.<br>
<br>
Listening to the people talk Alastor was actually starting to have a little fun. It reminded him of his brother and him trying to negotiate with their dad. It just went nowhere. When the Prince told them that negotiations will continue later he was hoping that things were going good.<br>
<br>
Lana started to walk with the Ritter Hex that was escorting her to her room. She knew about how the men and women were not able to sleep in the same wing and she was a bit concerned because she has never been from Alastor's side for no more than a room away.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Tansen had instinctively reached for his blade at the sign of aggression from the Ritter Hex, having fought in the war himself he knew how very dangerous they could be. His hand returned to above the table once he heard the reason for such an act making a mental note to warn his brother to never, 'show off', as he would say. A very large frown sprung across his face as he had heard about the guards to be posted on the Lodite guests. It was true their arrival may have been untrustworthy worthy but, he was sure that was no need for TWO personal babysitters. "Yes a fewer men at the Pass would surely allow for aggressions to cool. Not to mention show trust in between our nations, but I refuse to have fewer men posted than, I believe must be posted to protect our nation. But this discussion is for another time then."<br>
<br>
Rising out of his seat, Tansen, quickly added, "But before we leave I would like to speak with miss Masko, and Prince Gavin, privately. Preferably without the company of any Ritter Hex. I would hate to believe we are so distrusted to have this request denied." Tansen was fuming over the actions of the Hex's. He would refuse to continue negotiations, if he were to be followed by Anastairi assassins for the duration of his visit.<br>
<br>
____________________________________<br>
<br>
Deston busted up laughing as the Hex attacked the guard. The boy not knowing the danger he was in for doing so thought nothing of it. He believed himself invincible to such Hex's. He had never seen one though he had heard they were dangerous, he had conquered the dangers of magic, thus believing himself capable of anything. His thoughts obviously misguided.<br>
<br>
He looked at his new 'guards' smiling. The men looked so foreign to anything he had seen before. He rose as the group was dismissed following the two men to his quarters. Or at least he assumed that they were taking him to his room.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin paused at the door, hearing Prince Tansen's request. "Of course," he said, turning around. "Anything you wish to talk about, Prince?" He dismissed the Ritter Hex, knowing they would stand at the door and wait. He wasn't exactly excited about being in the same room with Masako, but he was still trying to be diplomatic with the Loidites. As far as Gavin was concerned, the Comtesses were the delegates from Goldspar.<br>
<br>
**********************<br>
<br>
Diane had finished getting dressed when there was a knock at her door. Her lady's maid stopped in mid-motion with her hair, not sure if she should answer or not.<br>
<br>
"Who is it," Diane asked.<br>
<br>
"Ritter Hasglow. I have the Comtesses Valere and Honore with me," came a male voice. "His Highness has told them that they may change and refreash in your room while theirs is made up."<br>
<br>
Diane motioned for the maid to open the door. She looked out the open door at the two women. "My room is yours. I am sorry that I don't appear better, but you caught me in the middle of getting my hair done."<br>
<br>
"Your brother also requested that you go to the gardens until dinner," Ritter Hasglow said.<br>
<br>
"May I finish my hair?"<br>
<br>
Ritter Hasglow sighed. "Very well, but not a moment longer."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"Hmm?" Masako looked over at Tansen as if to dispel the growing animosity and disgust she was feeling toward Gavin. She'd just been reacting to the body language he was giving her, one of stern disapproval. It seemed like he was being an asshole for no other reason than that he was the host and that he could.  She remained seated since Tansen wanted to speak with her and Gavin privately; she kept her mouth shut though to avoid getting into anymore trouble; she'd had her fun razzing Gavin and now it was time to play by his rules.  Masako had wanted to establish that she was an individual whom was not cowed by either Gavin or his beloved Ritter Hex.  <br>
<br>
Reina, heeding the request to speak privately vacated the room as well and just sighed. "I wish she'd just keep her mouth shut sometimes.  Those amazon tribes are always a handful because most of them don't like men as a whole and I wager the fact she had to deal with one turns her stomach." He thought to himself as he tilted his head back and looked up at the ceiling.  "This is a nice castle though." He said aloud as he looked around. "Warm, clean secure. Better than having to freeze during the winter. I apologize for any ill-feelings our ..delegate.." he said in a quietly disgusted tone. "Has caused." He said courteously to the Ritter Hex. Deciding that at least trying to be nice would be better than being an asshole.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Tansen stood with the other two trying to find his words carefully. Making either of them upset would not bode well for him or his country. He knew he should apologize for Masko's behavior but had no idea how to, without upsetting her. She seemed very prideful, a kind that only matched the Anastaria's except in a very different way. He decided to bring up the Ritter Hex's first.<br>
<br>
"Dear prince I understand that some of our behavior," He made a gesture to Masko and himself, "has been a bit... untrustworthy, and perhaps a even a bit antagonistic, but I do not believe that calls for guards to be placed upon us at all times. I risk my life and that of my families just being so deep in your lands, and to have two Hex's, there to kill us at a whim is just far to dangerous for me to continue negotiations with. I'm sure you see my point." He looked at Gavin, with a stern glare. The thought of half his family being killed within a moments notice, horrified him.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"I see your concern," Gavin said. He understood where Tansen as coming from. Had he been on Loidite soil and guarded by a bunch of wizards, he'd feel the same way. "I will see about taking the Ritter Hex away from their guard duty. However, I will continue to use them, and they will be present for any and all meetings. I'm sure you understand my concern with magic."<br>
<br>
He stood. "I will see what I can do," Gavin promised. "With so much magic flying around today, they are just on edge."<br>

Her hair finished, Diane was escorted to the gardens. She found a small bench and sat down, reading a thin book of poems. It was one of the few books she was allowed to own. Rather boring, but it was all she had. Sometimes, she wished for adventure.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Once inside, HonorÃ¨ set about her toilette with a bit of precision, much like any of her movements, they all had purpose and grace. As she did so, she let her mind wander over the various aspects of the day so far. Honestly, given that so called woman's behavior, she thought it was perfectly acceptable that Prince Gavin had placed Ritter Hex to guard over everyone. It wasn't just for his protection, but for the protection of his allies as well as keeping people in line. Perfectly acceptable to her line of thought.<br>
<br>
"Mistress..." A voice spoke from her right hip, and she glanced down to see one of her servants kneeling there.<br>
<br>
"Thank you, Nicole." Smiling, she ruffled the girl's hair, toying with the braids that matched her own on the girls head, letting the faint tinkling of the bells attached to the girl's blond hair sooth her agitation. The girl leaned into the affection with a soft sigh and HonorÃ¨ smiled. It had taken a while but the girl was very well behaved now. Opening the large-ish box that the blond and another servant had brought, she checked to make sure that everything inside was nice and pristine before closing it and running her hands over the ornate metal and gem work. Yes, she was sure both the Prince and Princess would like their gifts. Smiling, she nodded, and watched as Nicole helped her change her dress for another equally conservative yet more elaborate gown that did not have road dust upon it.<br>
<br>
"Lovely choice, Nicole. The silver trim on the purple blue suits me, I think. I wonder what ValÃ¨re will choose to wear tonight." There wasn't much more than a passing thought. After all, whatever her sister wore, they would most likely compliment each other. Once that was settled, she'd not wait on her sister, but head back towards the prince so that the gift could be presented. She didn't like making a show of things unless it was most effective.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">The Lord Martinez had already cleaned and prepared. His people were settled in, preparations were made. There was little, if anything for him to do during this pause. He looked over towards the Knights who had settled in on either flank of him. He seemed perfectly at ease, despite how easily they could overpower him, and having no guard of his own to counter, unlike the Goldsparians or Loidites. He stood slowly, he still wore his ceremonial dagger, though his hand never strayed towards it, no matter how looming or on edge the Hex Knights seemed to be. <br>
<br>
"Quick reactions, unwavering loyalty. I am sure that one of our Danbarian Cataphracts would be able to learn much from your masters," he spoke softly to the Ritter Hex on either side of him while looking straight ahead. He started walking out, towards the courtyard rather than deeper into the castle and the quarters set up for his men. <br>
<br>
"My people are quite settled in," he explained to the somewhat jumpy seeming knights of the Ritter Hex as they tagged along. "A quiet stroll in the garden. I'm sure there is no need to watch me there, but if you must, I do ask you remain somewhat unobtrusive, if you may."<br>
<br>
He never broke his stately stride, each step measured out, exactly the same length as the previous one. He seemed in no hurry. His hands were clasped behind his back as he made his way out of the meeting, and towards the sunlight and fresh air of the castle garden.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Ser Eloran stands at casual attention outside the door, ready to spring but feeling the tension slowly ebb out of the situation.  <i>What a terrible blunder.</i>  He brooded.  <i>This isn't going to happen.  That Masenko woman is up to no good, her presence could be a ploy by another Danbarian Lord, of some sort.  The Loidites don't seem willing to make any concessions.  There cannot be peace without respect, and they clearly don't respect us enough even to approach our front gates.  Using magic to invade our castle....that's a gesture of war.  They're saying they can be anywhere, anytime...</i><br>
<br>
He pulls off a gauntlet, and puts it in a pocket on his white tunic, then fishes a pack of cigarettes out of another one, and some matches.  He opens his visor, grabs it in his lips, lights it, and takes a couple slow drags while he thinks, brows creased over dark eyes.  A moment later, he swats the visor back down, and sticks the smoke in through the grate, holding it with his lips as has become so comfortable in full armor.  He puts his heavy gauntlet back on, and stands at attention, puffing a cloud of smoke above him while he waits outside the door.<br>
<br>
<i>This is a folly.  The leaders of these nations aren't even involved.  This was doomed from the start.</i></div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">To Valere's mind the proceedings had most obviously set off in an entirely wrong direction. There were people in support of strengthening the border and then there were those against it. For a council gathered of all neighbouring countries it really seemed as though no one knew what the hell they wanted, which just made the Comtesse's job all the easier. Yes, things were proceeding in a quite chaotic and potentially even hostile direction. <br>
<br>
Perhaps even that annoying Baroness could be dealt with, it would be good to remove such filth from the royalty of Goldspar. The thought pleased Valere as she shed her clothes with the aid of a servant, who she didn't bother to notice. Unlike her sister, who was far more passionate for the daily part of life, she had never bothered to learn the names of those that served her. Nobles and dignitaries and ministers she could rattle off going generations back; but who cooked her food, that was something unknown to her.<br>
<br>
The Comtesse Valere was a political animal.<br>
<br>
There was no time for a proper bath and so servants moved and flitted about her with damp cloths and cleansed what they could of the road from her. Even at the end of it she felt dirty and looked forward for the conclusion of the night. Then a new set of clothes were laid out for her. Before having this new attire placed upon her form she inspected it to make sure there was not the slightest bit of damage from the travels.<br>
<br>
Not too far away HonorÃ¨ was changing as well, wearing a deep blue the bordered on purple with silver trim, a little gaudy for the severe tastes of Valere. Her own dress was grey; but it was decorated with a pattern of fleur de lis in such a subtle shade of purple that they were almost naked to the eye they blended in so well. <br>
<br>
Subtle was what Valere loved best, it was the way the world was changed. In small imperceptible steps, steps triggered by individuals like herself.<br>
<br>
Once dressed she regarded her sister and smiled.<br>
<br>
"Should we make them wait, or should Goldspar be good little girls?"<br>
<br>
Just so there was a desire to play the world to her own tune.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Jaren took a deep breath as he approached the gardens. Taking in the myriad of scents, the earthy scents of scrub and hedge, the delicate sweet smells of the small blooms so carefully planted and tended. The sounds of gently flowing and falling water from the fountains. His shoulders slumped just a bit as he exhaled, the tensions of the day starting to leave his body. He kept his hands behind his back the whole time, paying no attention to the Ritter Hex who stood guard over him, who hopefully were being none too obtrusive as he requested. His pace was slow and measured, giving him time to inspect the work of the groundskeepers who tended this garden, pausing from time to time as he looked upon an intricate design or twisting of flower and vine.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">There was a smile to her sister as HonorÃ¨ looked over her shoulder. "I think for the moment we will watch and see. We may get an enjoyable play to watch." Yes, they looked for an advantage, but if it was truly chaos it wouldn't matter what they would or would not do. It simply remained to be seen. Having one of the girls open the door, she regarded the Ritter Hex outside the door, guarding them or guarding from them, with an amused smile. "We're almost done, sirrahs." She looked at both of them. "But I've been remiss, we did not get either of your names." Looking from  each of them to the other, only one eyebrow waiting patiently for a response unless her sister interrupted. She had no magic other than natural human charm and so should not set off their magical alarm bells, however, even the stoutest of men could often be undone by a woman's natural graces.<br>
<br>
It was true, HonorÃ¨ was more  prone to know the names of her servants and slaves. It was for a simple reason. Kingdoms could rise and fall upon the lower echelon's whims. While nobility ruled with a fist, it was the men at arms and lower classes who were the arm's strength. Living in Goldspar had taught her that much.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin stuck his head out of the throne room, motioning Ritter Eloran to him. "Take off the Ritter guards from the delegates. Myself and my sister will continue with the guards, and I'd like them stationed around any meetings. Also, have the Comtesses rooms changed. My mother's old chambers would do just fine."<br>
<br>
*****************<br>
<br>
Diane looked up from her book, noticing a man in the gardens. She recognized him as one of the delegates, the ones from Danbar. She smiled and marked her place in the book. Danbar would be okay to talk to, they were allies with her brother. Getting up, she walked over to him. "Hello, welcome to Anstaria. I'm sorry about earlier. I didn't mean to run off like that, I was just startled when the Loidites appeared," she said. "I hope you found your rooms to your satisfaction."<br>
<br>
***********<br>
<br>
Ritter Hasglow looked over at the Comtess Honore. "I am Ritter Hasglow," he said. "If you need anything, you can speak to me. My men are instructed to be seen and not heard." He felt he had lucked out in the guarding department. The Comtesses had not shown any signs of being the enemy. That, and he had seen the prince warm up to them. This seemed like the cushy position. He didn't want to have to watch the Loidites, and he knew that the Danbarians were their allies.</div>

Hastily he gave a bow to her, aware of possible protocols, and the armed knights so close by, in addition to whatever ones must be watching over her. He rose slowly, having taken the time to compose himself smoothly from the sudden guest. <br>
<br>
"It is perfectly understandable Your Highness." His gaze quickly took in the princess's appearance, noting the marked the book in her hand with a bit of curiousity. A woman of letters, it was something he did not quite expect from Anastaria, even among the nobility. "Our quarters were quite well appointed, as I expected of Anastarian hospitality, my thanks to you and your brother."</div>

She too could understand the necessity of what Tansen was requesting, the Ritter Hex were making her nervous as well; and she didn't know where her own quarters would be for all this.  In the end if she didn't ask about it, she'd probably wind up in some low-class tavern/inn for the night on the tab of the royals.  "Your highness, forgive my impertinence; but where should I just go for the night? With the Comtess' here I should find different accomodations lest we be at each others' throats all night in a verbal fashion." she said, it was killing her inside ti play nice with a weakling like Gavin who had to hide behind his Hex but she had to do it.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"A pleasure, Ritter Hasglow. To be guarded and seen to by such a handsome and powerful man as yourself, I feel safer already." A smile for him then. After all, it did well to curry favor with those who protected and served, if done right. And if you made it seem that they were watching over you, instead of simply watching you, it did tend to make them likely to protect you if something untoward happened. "I hope we won't be too difficult of a burden upon your shoulders."<br>
<br>
HonorÃ¨ glanced back at her sister, being subtle was all well and good, but if it was lost on the target, there was no point to it. Shaking her head with amusement at the effect the place seemed to be having on her, she turned her attention to Ritter Hasglow. "So other than the horrid behavior of the other delegates, do you think there is any chance of peace?" a understandable question really, but what HonorÃ¨ wanted to know is what the, for lack of a better word, lowest common denominator thought of it. The Ritter Hex were loyal to the country and to the Crown. If there was any chance of peace, they'd know it.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane smiled, curtsing for him. "I'm sure my brother will be pleased to hear that. I know how important it is for all of you to feel at home. We are do want peace. I know that it might not seem that way," she said, looking over at the Ritter Hex, "but we really do. Your ways are so different from ours, it's just hard to adapt at times."<br>
<br>
Shyly, she said, "Is this your first time in Anstaria? I can give you a quick tour of the gardens, if you like?"<br>
<br>
*************<br>
<br>
Gavin looked over at Masako. "Your room hasn't changed," he said. As much as he'd like to get her out of his palace, he was still bound by polite society. "You will still stay in the women's quarters. Nothing has changed in that."<br>
<br>
"I do suggest, though, that you take your escort up there and change for dinner," Gavin said as he left. He headed to his sister's rooms to see how the Comtesses were doing.<br>
<br>
************<br>
<br>
Ritter Hasglow nodded. "Yes ma'am. Prince Gavin is a wise and kind man, like his father. His desire for peace is for the betterment of his people. If anyone can keep the peace between the kingdoms, it's Prince Gavin."<br>
<br>
Truthfully, the Ritter Hex weren't all that excited about the whole peace thing. If Anstaria opened it's doors to magic, what would become of them? How could they police the evils of wizards and witches if they were running wild in the land? Anstaria would be ruined.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"Of course." She said to Gavin before he up and left, once he was out of the room she groaned and rubbed her forehead, having to do that always gave her a headache.  She'd rise from her chair without a word and left the room, her guard falling into place beside her as they headed for the quarters they'd been assigned.  Reina would simply stay out in the hallway first off it wasn't proper to share a room with a woman that wasn't your wife and two: he didn't want to hear her amazonian ranting all night.  Masako went on inside without him after a maid had showed her the way there; not deviating a little from the course, she'd have been carrying what amounted to an adventurer's backpack the whole time at her side and rummaged through it to see what she had to wear.  Furs, more leather clothing, a polar-bear fur cloak for cold nights... no none of that would due.  The one outfit she had brought on the demands of her clan's matriarch was a rich, red satin dress with black accents and trim.  "my goddess, I don't' want to have to wear something so..severe..." she groaned to herself.  <br>
<br>
She may not have had the elegant taste the comtess' had, which obviously made them the preferred choice in whom their hosts would rather deal with. It made Masako a bit jealous in the end and she found herself wanting to smash a gauntleted fist into their faces, just to ruin their appearances.  Her jealousy causing a minor shift in the air around her as the room darkened for a moment but faded away just as quickly as she got her negativity under control.<br>
<br>
A few moments later after some grunting and muttering about the way the thing fit, even though it was made for her personally. Masako came out in <a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v180/aeriyon/reddres.jpg" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">her red and black dress</a> and smoothed her hands down the front of it and sighed, no amount of skin was showing other than the cut of the bodice, something that was there for air-flow and to help keep the wearer cool, not out of showiness. It was as modest as she could manage.  "I suppose we go back down to the main hall." she said and looked around for a moment and went to a window to have a look outside. Under the dress she was wearing brown leather pants and her soft leather boots, she hadn't brought spares.  "I hope this pays off." she said and went back into her room and sat down and began to weave her hair into a thick braid to get it out of her face. <br>
<br>
When she was finished, she'd sweep out and head back toward the dining hall alone. Praying to whatever god there was that nobody saw her like this yet.</div>

"My great-grandmother had this built. Normally, it's a sanctuary for the women of my family. I like to come out here when I have nothing to do. It's a little loud, but it's special," she said, opening the cage door. "Want to come inside?"</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Each of the Comtesses had their own traits, most would never know though. Each had long practise in mimicking the other and new how to slip in and out of the others thoughts and behaviour. It allowed them to connect and understand one another, something useful in a world of politics.<br>
<br>
Still, Valere remembered nobles and HonorÃ¨ servants. Together they kept tabs on both the head and body of the state.<br>
<br>
Before exiting the room to rejoin the others Valere grabbed her cane. It was a dark wood and finely carved and made a most authoritarian sound upon striking the floor of this most humble palace. It pleased Valere to have it clip with each step as she fell in with her sister and their guard.<br>

				<div class="bbWrapper">She let a little of her doubt show, with just a small frown. Perhaps it -had- been that barbarian of a woman that had thrown the Prince's sensibilities off. Hopefully dinner would put them all in better spirits. At just that moment, her sister chose to finally appear fully ready. HonorÃ¨ as always,  had her riding crop strapped at her wrist. She was an excellent horsewoman, among other things and liked having the familiar item with her. She was the more blatant of the two in showmanship, but they were equals in their own way, these two sisters.<br>
<br>
"Well, as my sister comtesse has finally made her appearance, I believe Ritter Hasglow, we can make our way down to the Prince and then dinner. If you would be so kind as to escort us." She teased both the Ritter and her sister with her words. In response to her sister's words, she said nothing further, letting the man think about them what he would.<br>
<br>
As they turned to go though, an unexpected visitor arrived. The prince himself. "Your highness." HonorÃ¨ curtsied and then looked up with a smile. "that is most gracious of you." She looked first at the Ritter Hex. "I hope I get the pleasure of seeing you again", she spoke to him before he was dismissed. Then a glance behind her at the two servants carrying the chest. "Yes, we do have a gift for you, and your sister. It would not do to just have it opened in the hallway or the like but if you'll escort us to a place less chaotic, I'm sure you'll be well pleased with our gifts." After all, a hallway was not a place to conduct business of any type except those of an unsavory nature.</div>

Prince Gavin had decided to show up and greet the two while away from the others, a most peculiar act to Valere's mind.<br>
<br>
Dropping a slight curtsy  as well Valere dropped her eyes low then raised them at mention of the gift.<br>
<br>
"Perhaps Prince Gavin, being the man of peace which he is, would like to receive our gift publicly as a sign of our willingness to commit to an agreement. Long has our nation been in turmoil as it is well known, perhaps with a greater peace we ourselves may find our own."</div>

"We can just enter my sister's room for this. I know she won't mind. When you see her, she's the very model of a true Anstarian woman. I'm sure you will like her when you meet her."<br>
<br>
He held the door open for them to re-enter the room, admiring their dress choices. Nice, rather modest and very appropiate for the occasion. His eyes stopped on the cane and ridding crop, wondering why they carried those around.<br>
<br>
turning to Valere, he said, "You can present my sister's publicly. You had mentioned earlier you wished to talk privately. As long as it's not about the treaty, I am all yours, my lady."</div>

The Danbarian could see that it was more than just a small investment of time and will upon the part of the princess's ancestors. Not inconsiderable, but it definately was a sign of affection beyond the norm. He reached out slowly, feeling the worked metal of the cage.<br>
<br>
"If I may," he answered, reaching out for the door to the cage, working the latch and pulling it open slowly. He held it open so that the princess may enter first, his eyes flicking only once to his Ritter Hex guards. He'd step inside after the princess, closing the cage's gate quickly and softly, not slamming it. His gaze drew high, towards the birds up ahead and thier displays.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"Are you sure it's proper for a man to enter the women's quarters," she teased Prince Gavin, having a feeling that might take her comment at face value, as he should. A light flirtation between a woman and a man. But she motioned for the servants to step backward and she retracted her steps, so that if there was any danger, it would see her first, rather then him. A sign that she would not be one to give offense.<br>
<br>
As her sister and the Prince would enter back, she moved towards the chest, allowing the servants to set it down before she opened it up. "Forgive our presumption, but as we are twins ourselves, we took it upon ourselves to present a gift to you and your sister." with that, she lifted the head of the ornate chest up, she moved out of the way so that Prince Gavin could see.<br>
<br>
Laying in the chest was a fur made of a silver fox known for it's rarity, made into a short cape worthy of a king to be of a great nation. Upon it rested also a <a href="http://tinyurl.com/yld9wsb" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">jeweled collar of the richest emeralds and gold</a>. In another box still being held by the other servant was the princess' gift. With a necklace that matched the collar in style as well as a short capelet and hood in the silver fox fur as well.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Ser Eloran has the men on Masako, Reina, and the Loidites, spread out, one covering each hallway, and one stationed in each of the four corners of the meeting rooms.  He sends one man to relay orders to the garrison, that they need another few men to cover the rest of the hallways.  He has spread out the guard, but they are a no less ubiquitous sight around the palace.  There are plenty of men to see everything, and to call reinforcements from adjacent rooms, while not specifically following the guests and putting them at unease.<br>
<br>
Eloran doesn't really care about the guest's comfort.  He doesn't think this has any chance of going well.  Something was up, he can smell it.<br>
<br>
He himself follows Gavin, a white shadow behind his Prince.  He watches, uninterested, as the Comtesses present their gifts to him.  It annoys him a little when they flirt with his Prince, but he has become used to the feeling, and only sighs.  He asks a nearby servant to please dispose of the end of his cigarette, which has burnt down almost past his visor.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin smiled. "My dear lady, it would only be improper if you had improper plans," he said with a wink. He made a mental note to learn which one was which. He couldn't keep calling them 'lady' for the whole trip. When they presented his gift, he was amazed. Goldsparite fur was highly prized. He, himself, only had a few articals of clothing with it. <br>
<br>
"This is beautiful," he breathed. "I am deeply honored by your generosity." He put on the silver fox cape, looking in a mirror to see how it looked on him. Never had he dreamed of owning something so wonderful. This kind of fur was almost never exported from Goldspar.<br>
<br>
Turning back to the twins, he smiled. "I see that the only thing that can hope to rival your beauty is your kindness."<br>
<br>
*****************<br>
<br>
Diane smiled as Lord Martinez escorted her into the bird cage. She made sure the door shut before the Ritter Hex could enter. That would give them a few moments of privacy. She had never been around a foreigner, so this was the most exciting moment of her life.<br>
<br>
"It's a little loud, but I love it here," she said, bringing him over to a covered bench. "I used to hide here when I was little. Gavin knew where I was, but he'd pretend to look for me elsewhere so I could be alone."</div>

He walked out of his room, looking back to see if the men were still fallowing him. Fortunately they were not. He explored the castle, learning its twists and turns, careful not to bump into people that he was sure, would either tell him to go back to his room, or talk to him in some other boring fashion. Finding his way way to the great library, he decided to take a quick look at what the land had to offer.<br>
<br>
Searching amongst the shelves for a book he deemed interesting, he found a book on Ritter Hex's. He took the book finding a desk, sitting down and beginning to read it, soaking in the knowledge, of only the very basics of the order. That which any experienced man would know.</div>

His gaze slowly dropped, down to her book of poems, curious as to just what that book contained. It was not too hard to imagine, typical maiden's dreams and wishes, poetry about love and beauty. He doubted it was one of her hidden cache just as much as he questioned how learned she might have been, sneaking away books.<br>

The feminist in Masako was deeply aggravated and simply wanted to call it quits and leave, but doing that would make her lose face here.  She walked with a challenging strut still, apparently completely unaware of it as she tended to take long strides. The three people Masako didn't want to deal with weren't anywhere in sight so she'd head for the castle library to see just what was really going on around here.  <br>
<br>
"Hmm?" She blinked as she entered and saw the young prince of Loidi reading a book after a few moments of poking around. "Why hello there your highness." She smiled at Deston politely. "What have you there?" she asked, walking over to have a curious look.</div>

A smile then as she lifted the jeweled collar and placed it around his neck and shoulders, the light from the jewels sparkling as the green blue set off his own blue eyes charmingly. It was heavier than it appeared. <br>
<br>
"There. Now that is perfect." She turned to her sister. "Don't you agree?" She was thoughtful as she looked at her sister. There were somethings she couldn't have, and well she knew it, no matter how she'd have liked to have toyed.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"The love within those books? With fiery kisses of passion that consume the soul and burn away all reason?" he asked softly. He was leaning back on the bench, his hands braced behind him. His eyes once more went to the flitting birds above. His mouth was barely turned down into the barest hint of a frown as his thoughts drifted.<br>
<br>
"See that one," he pointed up to a particular bird who seemed to be cleaning out his wings. A small green bird with black accents at the wingtips and a white belly. "I first saw one in the southern passes, on a caravan. Several of them paced us for miles, flitting around, chirping songs, landing on our carts only to dart off again the moment someone reached out for them. Quite lovely creatures, and so fragile."<br>
<br>
He looked back down to the Princess, his frown gone now, though he still was leaned back. "One resides in my study right now, back in Danbar."</div>

Gavin caught me reading one once, and he said it was too dangerous. My heart was pounding fast and I felt hot. He said that was the danger of it. I haven't touched those books since. I mostly steal his geography books and pretend I'm traveling around the world."<br>
<br>
She leaned back, looking up at the birds with him. "It must be nice," she said softly. "Traveling like that and seeing new lands. Someday, I want to visit all the places I've read about."<br>
<br>

Gavin smiled, looking at the finished gift. "You ladies are a wonder," he said. For a moment, he wished he had thought of gifts for the delegates. Though, for the twins, he might make an exception. Something to show his appreciation for their thoughtfulness.<br>
<br>
Turning back to the Comtesses, he said, "I am very pleased by this gift. Thank you both." He took their hands, kissing the backs. His lips lingered a few seconds longer then was proper.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"Your highness is too kind." Honore demurred politely. There was however a reckless streak in her and as the prince lifted her hand to kiss it, she turned it gently so that when his lips touched, it would be to the palm and bottom of her hand, where he could easily feel the pulse beneath her skin. A bit bold but that was part of her charm.</div>

He wasn't sure if it was the same in Goldspar as it was in Anstaria, but kissing the palm was an intimate thing. He took it as a sign that she was interested in him. When he straightened up, he looked into her eyes. His eyes held a promise of delights to come. In order to keep the other delegates from knowing of his intentions with the Comtess, he would have to be careful. <br>

"After dinner, I would love to show you the beauty of my kingdom," he said, including her sister in the invitation. "I don't believe you've seen our gardens. They are said to be one of the most spectacular sights in the world."</div>

After all, what was fun without a risk of danger. "You do me much honor, your highness." it was a game she was born to play, this game of words and intent. It was as natural to her as breathing. "I adore horticulture." most of the time it was for things of more functional use, such as healing, sensation or otherwise, but beauty had many forms. Perhaps she could learn something. <br>

"After all, part of our purpose here is to learn from one another..."the smile curved into a wicked little grin that hinted at all sorts of innuendo, as if her sister nor servants were in the room. "...is it not?"</div>

He moved between the twins, offering his arms to them both. "Our kingdoms can benefit from each other, and I feel that a closeness would be benificial."<br>
<br>
He let the suggestions hang in the air. In the twins, he felt lik he had found an equal. He never thought he'd think of women as an equal, but he knew he didn't think of them as below him. He would enjoy their company for as long as he could. Their time together would be bliss, and he intended to enjoy every moment of it.</div>

"I'm sure we can both learn a lot from each other, your highness." Due to his position, it -might- be less than HonorÃ¨ would like, but she liked playing with fire. With a smile, she took the arm he offered, her silent sister taking his other arm and the servants trailing behind him with the princess' gift still within its chest.<br>
<br>

A smile deepened on his face, his gaze drawing away from the woman, the very words themselves bringing back a pleasant memory of his travels. His right hand was fiddling, his thumb rubbing slowly across his index and middle finger in a slow, circular pattern. <br>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin smiled. "You will get to try Anstarian food another night. Tonight we will showcase Loidite cuisine. Tomorrow, will be Danbar and Goldspar following that. Since that is just dinner, you can try our famous cuisines for breakfast and lunch." He escorted them down the halls to the dinning hall. "If there is anything you wish to try, let me know. I would like your stay here be as comfortable as possible."<br>
<br>
As he passed one of the Ritter Hex, he said, "Inform the other guests that dinner is about to be served and offer an escort to the dinning hall."<br>

"I would love to read your experiences," she said. "In fact, I'd love to hear about your travels, if you don't mind indulging me with more of your company." She blushed, feeling a little forward.<br>
<br>
Diane was enjoying Lord Martinez's company when a Ritter Hex entered the cage. Worried that she was about to be told to go to her room, a common punishment for any time she stepped out of line, she tensed and moved an inch away from Martinez.<br>
<br>
"Your Highness, your lordship, dinner is about to be served," the Ritter Hex said. "Your brother requests your presance."<br>
<br>
Diane nodded. "Lord Martinez can escort me there," she said. Looking at him through her eyelashes, she added, "Would that be all right?"</div>

<br>
He would pull her up slowly and gently, leaving his arm for her to grab hold of as they walked to dinner. His gaze broke off, looking toward the Ritter Hex knight with a questioning look on his face, mouthing out the words, "Where is it?" to him out of the princess's sight.

She took him back into the castle and down toward the dining hall. She was a little sad to see their time ending. She was sure that her brother would manopolize the delegates' time after tonight.<br>
<br>
"Lord Martinez," she said softly, "I hope I'm not being too forward, but I'd be honored if we had more time to talk. I read in the garden nearly every afternood. If you can find time away from the discussions, I'd be honored if you came to see me."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"It would be a pleasure, your highness," he answered softly. His gaze came up to the dining hall before them. He stood tall, his step was measured. He seemed to take a moment between paces to assemble himself. His smile was gone, replaced by an impassive mask. His shoulders set back, his chin lifting, taking on an aristocratic air as they neared. By the time they reached the hall, he seemed a perfect cut of the lord, beyond the concerns below him, beyond the touch of those around him. <br>
<br>
He paused at the threshold, woman on his arm, waiting for whatever proceedure of announcement and entry the castle maintained before he would step inside. He had shifted slightly, almost imperceptibly, to go from the princess leading to taking the lead himself, ready to guide her.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane let him escort her into the dining hall. After they were announced, he took her to her seat. She wasn't surprised by how he shut himself off from her the closer they got to the dining hall. She was used to the men in her life ignoring her when in public. He was a proper lord, and she was just a woman. She knew her roles well. The more formal he got, she stood straighter and took a slight step back. Even staying on his arm, he was aways an inch or more ahead of her.<br>
<br>
She took her seat, giving him a small smile. A few moments later, Gavin escorted the two comtesses in, surprising Diane. She had never seen her brother open up to a woman before and was very shocked to see that he looked so comfortable with two on his arms.<br>
<br>
Gavin led the women to their seats, kissing their hands as they sat down. It didn't escape Diane's notice that he kissed the palm of one woman. Diane blushed, realizing that her brother may finally have fallen in love. She looked down, not wanting to witness any other moments of intimacy.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Another small smile as the prince escorted them to their seats, and kissed her palm once more. A dangerous game, indeed. This could indeed be fun. Giving her sister a nod, HonorÃ¨ looked around the table, taking note of who was there and who was not, before zeroing her gaze in on the princess. "Your highness." she nodded her head towards the girl, and motioned for the servants who had been behind them to stand behind the princess. "Your brother has already received our gift. Yours is in the chest that is now behind you." The two servants holding the ornate chest looked exotic and untouchable, as fragile as glass, yet they held the obviously heavy chest with ease, awaiting her orders on disposal.<br>
<br>
Once that had been dealt with, HonorÃ¨ unfolded her napkin upon her lap and sipped at the cool water that was sitting at her place. As she did so, she continued to assess those individuals around her as well as those who arrived after them, her gaze returning again and again to the prince, gracing him with a small intimate smile every time their eyes would meet.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Ser Eloran, still in his impeccablbe white cloak and armor ensemble, moves deftly to put himself between the chest and his Princess, while Gavin remains a few steps behind.  He is relatively sure the Comtesses aren't up to anything, at least not anything blatant, but he must still take precautions.<br>
<br>
He subtly signals to his men to get between Lord Martinez and the Princess, as well as for one man to claim the seat next to the Prince, Ser Eloran would take that position when they sat for dinner.  Gareth felt uneasy, not just because of the presence of magical nobles he has been fighting for years, but also because he had to watch his Prince being taken by the charms of a woman.  His cheeks flushed, and he felt light headed thinking about it, but he does his duty flawlessly, not allowing a single defensive gap.<br>
<br>
He also tells a nearby man to round up any missing delegates immediately.  Masako and the Loidite third son, Deston, were not present, and that worried him.<br>
<br>
*************<br>
<br>
A pair of Ritter Hex watching over Deston and Masako in the library approach the two.  "Dinner is served, Lords."  one says, his tone masked behind his visor.  "Please accompany me.  Your presence is mandatory."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Deston gave a long sigh. "Ugh more boring politics. Oh well if I must." He stood up looking at Masako to make sure she would follow them into the dinning room. She didn't seem like the kind of woman to like it when she was told to do something no matter how polite. Deston had read about such women. The barbarian women from the land of Goldspar. He had never thought he would see such people in his life.<br>
<br>
____________________<br>
<br>
Tansen walked into the dinning hall hungry from the constant argument, he had been practicing in his room. His entrance one that did not draw attention to it though he was puzzled at the fact that it seemed every man in the room, (other than Ritter Hexs of course) had a woman they had brought. Gavin had two upon his arm he noted. Such things could be used to his advantage in diplomacy, his advisers told him. As he sat down, he thought about commenting about such a thing but decided to let Gavin begin the talking. As for who was at the table he wasn't surprised to see that Deston and one of the Goldspar delegates, the one who he had forgotten to talk to, now cursing himself for such things, were the last to show. Looking around the room he saw the Ritter Hexs at the ready, it seemed that Gavin would not be taking any chances on someone loosing their temper.</div>

"Now that we are assembled, I'd like to introduce you all to my twin sister, Diane." Diane slowly stood, embarassed by the attention. She gave a small curtsy to Tansen, remembering that he was one of the ones that appeared out of no-where. She sat back down, looking at her plate. <br>

"For tonight's meal, we will be enjoying native cuisine from Loidi. I hope it is to your satisfaction," Gavin said as the servants brought in roasted pheasant surrounded by native vegatables from Loidi. The plates were served to each of the guests. Gavin looked over at Lord Martinez, "I'd like to speak with you after dinner," he said. "It's of a personal matter."</div>

She'd never had Loidite food before and this was going to be a new experience for her as she sat down at the table.

Deston knew instantly that Tansen disproved of his being late, but just shrugged. He had lost himself in the book.

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane slowly ate her food, moving the vegetables around her plate. Finally, she tried them. Taking another bite, she turned to Prince Tansen. "Your Highness, is this close to what you have in Loidi," she asked, curious about how well the kitchens had preformed. "This tastes good, so I was curious as to how authentic it was." Now that peace was being discussed, Diane could fantisize about maybe actually getting to travel to other kingdoms. Until that day, she'd do her duty as a good hostess.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">There was a faint amusement to be found as HonorÃ¨ snapped off the leg of the pheasant delicately, placing the tiny drumstick within her lips and tearing off the meat with small, pearl like teeth. After all, forks were not in common usage other than as serving utensils. "A very nice delicate flavor.", she commented as her lashes lifted from her cheeks; they had lowered to help her focus on the flavor. "It matches the vegetables nicely." HonorÃ¨ was very much a sensualist, but most people wouldn't realize what that really meant. Every sensation was important.<br>
<br>
It was time. Dipping her fingers into the bowl for that purpose, she then touched the napkin in her lap to clean then. Then reaching for her glass, she took the honor into her own hand, and lifted it for a toast as she stood. "Your highnesses, my lords and ladies." Bowing to each of the royal persons in the room as she spoke, making eye contact if they would and waiting for everyone to acknowledge her stance. "We stand on a great precipice. Within our reach is the singular honor of attempting to find peace for not one, but two" her next word was stressed so that each one would realize she was doing both countries honor. "great countries. It is often said that history only remembers the winners, but if we learn from that history and move forward, to greater things, the history will be but a footnote to the achievements that may be accomplished. Those achievements are brighter than any shadow that loss may bare. " Her phrasing was very careful, but a smart observer would note the nuances. After all, one side had lost in the previous war, and one side had won. She was glossing over the bitterness that came from that, and instead reminding them that while the past could not be changed, the future could be.<br>
<br>
"To the future..." And with a nod of her head at Prince Gavin, she toasted, and sipped her wine before sitting down. After all, it was not a proper dinner till at least once toast had been performed.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin smiled and stood to present his own little speech. "Thank you Comtess," he said. Turning to his guests and his people he added, "She is right. We stand today on the brink of history. Today has already seen a change in the status quo of the world. I will be the first to admit that Anstaria has not always been so hospitable to visitors, and I hope that this is just the first of many times we will welcome our neighbors into our boarders." Turning to Prince Tansen, he decided to take a chance and extend the olive branch publically. <br>
<br>
"To you, Prince Tansen, I am extremely honored to finally meet. I know we have had our disagreements in the past with the spats between our lands. However, I have always admired your brilliant manouvers in battle, and have come to respect you. I am sure that an intelligent man, such as yourself, and I can come to a peaceful resolution for our kingdoms, and I look forward to many discussions with you."<br>
<br>
He took his seat after offering another toast to peace. He wasn't lying when he said he respected Tansen, but he wasn't sure he trusted the man. He caught Martinez's eye, a silent reminder to talk to the man after the meal.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Masako simply grumbled a bit, there was a definitive lack of meat in this meal but she tried it out anyway but didn't let her idea of it slip in either her expression or what she said; which was very little.  It seemed like women were to be seen and not heard around here except either of those cowardly comtess' that certainly got their host's eye.  But the admission from him elevated her opinion of him just a little, at least someone could admit their faults.  <i>Perhaps that's why nobody likes you Anstarians.... </i> She thought to herself as she watched what was going on, one always learned more when they weren't talking afterall.  The blonde was paying key attention to the way the others reacted to each other, learning what they thought of each other by those reactions.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Tansen raised his glass, shouting out, "Here, here!" in agreement. It was not expected to be treated with respect, in Gavin's court, or even by Gavin himself. While Tansen had never truly seen him in combat, Tansen had to admit that he had respect for Gavin as well. The man seemed to wish only the best for his nation, and Tansen deemed him, a worthy leader. He been told by his advisers that, Gavin would try to make Tansen feel welcomed, so he tried to shake the opening statement from his mind.<br>
<br>
He looked across the room, hoping they would not expect him to give a similar opening speech. He was not one good with words and often spoke things in his own court as he saw fit, having little fear of those around him. But in Gavin's court, what he said would affect the lives of everyone in his country, and he would rather not have to come up with an opening stance on the fly.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">The servants brought out the second course of deer and roasted boar, surrounded by edible flowers and honeyed cakes. Diane's eyes lit up as she noticed this. She had a sweet tooth and was nearly never allowed to indulge. As she had a cake set on her plate, Gavin leaned over towards her.<br>
<br>
"Just one, sister," he said softly. "If you really must have more, have them delivered to your room."<br>
<br>
"Yes, of course," Diane whispered. She felt the dinner was going well. Her brother had made a toast and so far, no one had started fighting. That was a good sign.<br>
<br>
Looking back over at Prince Tansen, she said, "I hope you don't find me too rude for asking, but I've always been rather curious about Loidi. A nanny of mine used to tell me that you could travel through shadows. It scared me as a kid, but I never knew if it were true or not. Can you -"<br>
<br>
"Diane," Gavin warned, "don't bother his Highness." He gave a small smile to Prince Tansen. "You'll have to forgive her. After so many years opposed to each other, rumors and fairy tales tended to grow. I'm sure you understand, your Highness." He sent a glare to his sister, warning her to not ask about magic ever again.</div>

But even better than simply observing was stirring things up a little, then observing how people reacted. Which was precisely what HonorÃ¨ had done, if for different reasons than Masako would. <br>
<br>
As the second course was brought out, HonorÃ¨ managed to hold back a shudder. Lifting her eyes for a moment, she gave a simple prayer to the heavens, and this time it was she who barely touched her food. She picked up a flower or two and nibbled on them, but did not touch the meat and in this case, the honeyed meat.Instead, she turned her gray blue eyes to watch her dinner companions and to not have to look at her plate.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Tansen act his food hungrily, not saying much just listening to the multiple conversations going on, until the young princess, spoke to him. He quickly spoke to ward off, Gavin's apology. He put the fact that he did so, up to the fact they oppressed the women of the country. The fact that one would speak to a foreigner at a negotiations dinner, must have been looked down upon harshly, Tansen figured.<br>
<br>
"It is no problem, your lordship. I have no problem speaking to her of such things." He looked over to Diane, replying, "No we can not travel through the shadows my highness. We have a more reasonable way to travel. Are mages are able to make pathways across the world, in the dimension of magic, which is how were were, eh..." He coughed for a moment, he would rather not bring the topic up. "We were able to come to you land in such a manner. Of course such things can only be done by mages of a certain strength. We do not all have the ability to do so."</div>

But when Diane spoke up she laughed slightly at the question, some of her kind could do that. Hell Masako probably could herself if she really applied herself, but her demonic powers were untested and she didn't want to cause a stir by experimenting here, that could wait til she got home.  "Wooo finally." she exulted slightly as she accepted her portion of the new roasted goodness.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin noted that his companion wasn't eating. Leaning close to Honore, he whispered, "Is the food not to your liking? I can see if there is something more to your tastes in the kitchen?" He didn't want to insult any of his guests, and to see someone he was so vastly interested in be so uninterested in what he was offering tore at his heart. He would have to make sure that when the kitchens showcase Goldspare for the cuisine, he put something that the Comtesses enjoyed in the meal. Gavin did note that Masako enjoyed the meal, and, to be kind, would see to it that roasted deer was on her menu.<br>
<br>
Diane looked down at her plate, picking slightly at a flower. "I will admit, your appearance scared me. I was wholly unprepared for people to just appear out of thin air." She blushed, looking down. "I do not mean to chastise," she said hastily, in case Gavin was listening. "I was just startled."</div>

Tansen thought about his position, and that it was his order to appear in such a manner, "I should be the one to apologize, to you." He knew he would have to make up for such events if the negotiations were to pursue calmly. Taking in a deep breath he went back to eating the food. He was very much so amazed at how well the Anastairi prepared the meal.<br>
<br>
Deston looked about the room bored out of his mind. He over heard the discussion his brother was having with the princess laughing a moment at her. Then whispering to his brother, "She's looker even if she is an Anstarian huh?" He laughed at his brothers expression.<br>
<br>
Tansen looked straight at the brother for a moment, his fork still in his mouth, then he punched him in the arm. "Not here you dim whit. Sheesh you trying to get us killed." He laughed with his brother for a moment before going back to eating and listening to conversation.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">When Gavin made note of her appetite lack, HonorÃ¨ smiled back in kind as she whispered back. "I mean no offense, your highness. It is nothing you could have foreseen. After all, we were late arrivals to the delegation. It is only..." Her voice lowered so that only Gavin could hear. "The boar is sacred to my mother's family, and honeyed cakes are part of the offering. As trust, we do not eat boar or any animal that cooked boar touches." She smiled pleasantly. "It was just a bit of a shock. I forgot that so many other people do, in fact, eat it." A little weakness she let him see, that she was more personable. More human.  It  would have been difficult for him to know of such a thing, even if they had not been late to the party, so to speak. After all, they held their father's name, and their mother was a little no count noble from the rustics. <br>
<br>
While not distracted from observing those around them, she took a moment when most if not all were busy with their own conversations, their own delegation not withstanding, and looked the Princee in the eyes.The decision was made. She would be a bit bold. This would seal in her mind if she would dally in games with the prince further or go back to the game of diplomacy. Lifting one of the small sugared flowers, she reached forward and offered it to him with her fingers, a very intimate act in a public game. It was a quick, and if he turned it down, she would give no sign, and simply attend back to her meal, if he did take it from her fingers, she'd press one finger to his lip and then to her own, as if to lick the sugar off before going back to her more obvious observation, no further comment for the moment but a smile on her face.</div>

She had a  sweet tooth, and the Prince was a bit of spice with that sweet. Innocent in some ways that peaked HonorÃ¨'s interest. A challenge, if you would. She glanced up catching the princess' eyes and smiled back. Things were going to get interesting, she thought. And she was surprised at how much the idea pleased her. Perhaps she had grown too complacent.<br>
<br>
Removing her gaze from the princess, she looked over at her sister. Her sister was more pragmatic about things, but HonorÃ¨ was curious how she'd react to their food. After all, no matter that they could change easily with each other, people change so you must constantly observe them to know.</div>

Looking at the flowers on her plate, she was tempted to try that little trick, but dared not to. Maybe, she could just observe for the time of the talks and, someday, work up the nerve to act.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Deston noticed the little scene across from him and chuckled lightly. He was looking around the room, no longer satisfied to listen to the people's stories and talk. He pulled out of one pocket a small coin. Taking it he spun the coin upon the table, it seemed to spin around obsticals in its way, and last an abnormal amount of time. He would say that it was pure talent but any who paid attention could tell it was clearly magic.<br>
<br>
As soon as his brother saw what he was doing, he shot him a dirty look, and took the coin. He had no wish to tempt the Ritter Hex into reacting, no matter how innocent the magic. He would have a swift talk with his sibling after the dinner.<br>
Sighing Deston went back to studying the crowd wondering what it was he could do.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Martinez smiled. A bit of honey meat was held between his right index finger and thumb, barely a small morsel that he had peeled off the animal. He gestured slowly, his hand pointing towards the Prince Tansen as he explained his magic, a face etched into a slight smile, his eyes locked onto the prince and followed his words intently.<br>
<br>
"Created pathways of magic. Roadways along which magi could travel at a whim. Routes within the immaterium linking far off lands, only waiting for another mage to tread where others have once been," his smile widened, just a little. The meat was popped into his mouth slowly. His gaze shifted once more to Prince Gavin, nodding just slightly as he caught the prince's comment about conversing with him after the meal, showing his agreement.<br>
<br>
"The logistical implications alone are staggering." Another piece of meat was torn from the platter in front of him, another small bite which lingered on his fingers. Finally he glanced towards the deligation from Goldspar. Three women, subtly different to wildly unique. The comtesse's boldness with the prince was caught, but his tongue never moved. He merely ate his second bite of the boar, his eyes following the Comtesse's fingers.</div>

"Prince Tansen, is that true," he asked carefully. He would have to find a way to close any magical roads made the Loidites, and make sure it didn't look like a hostile act. He didn't want to give the people who had been his enemies yesterday a way into the heart of his palace.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Mentally, HonorÃ¨'s mind was turning, processing each piece of information it received. While the prince was speaking with Martinez, maybe she could have an audience with the princess to present their gift to the girl. She had to have noticed her brother's new accouterments and wondered what her own gift was. It would be unnatural not to, especially with it not ten feet away. Or maybe the girl wasn't naturally curious, although the Comtesse doubted that, it was most likely simply well trained in her not to show it. <br>
<br>
She wished there was an Aviary, or perhaps a hunt planned. It was only one day, and she was feeling a bit restless and out of sorts. She was used to an active lifestyle, and just these few hours of passive activity was wearing on her. But she also knew she couldn't excuse herself to see to her beloved Gawain. She was also used to smaller but more frequent meals. It seemed this entire ordeal would be a host of new experiences.<br>
<br>
She looked up as Martinez spoke, hearing his words but it took a moment for the realization to sink in. Catching the older man's eye, her own widened in shock and questioning, silently asking if he was sure he wished to bring up such a topic. If she understood what he'd said properly...he was right, the implications were staggering. Shaking her head a little, she felt herself shiver. She had nothing 'against' magic persa, but she felt a little less easy with it around, and she'd seen it every day of her life, in matters great and small and thought nothing of it. Give her people and mundane matters any day.</div>

His smile was still there as he barely nodded once at her. He leaned back in hsi chair, hearing Gavin question the Loidi Prince. His meal was left unattended, his smile gone as he spared a glance at the two princes. He was leaning to his left, his elbow resting on the arm of his chair, fist holding up his chin. He seemed completely relaxed as his eyes rolled back over to the Comtesse. He hummed, barely audible to those next to him as he looked at her.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">One eyebrow arched upwards as she continued looking at Martinez. Strangely enough, she wasn't disturbed by his stare. Merely curious. After all, he hadn't paid her any attention previously. While he wasn't 'that' old, he was still older than they were, and while innocent had its flavor, there was something to be said for vintage knowledge. With a quirk of her lip, she gave him a grin and picked up another flower, placing it to her lips. It was a shame that her taste did not run to courtiers, after all, they couldn't afford each other. That and she liked power under her fingertips. It would likely shock most in the room if the identity of some of the slaves in their entourage were known.</div>

The lord's shoulders shook once, as though he was holding back a laugh or trying to restrain a bad twitch in his gut. His hand lowered, the man leaning back fully in his chair, back against the hard wood, his chin up, looking down towards the comtesse. An amused smile was back on his face once more, his ears ready to pick up the conversation between princes even as he focused upon the deligate from Goldspar.<br>

"Yes, I have brought Gawain. I do not like leaving him to hunt with others for too long." Implied in that statement was the fact that she hadn't known how long negotiations would taken. <br>

Routes within the immaterium linking far off lands, only waiting for another mage to tread where others have once been," his smile widened, just a little. The meat was popped into his mouth slowly.

			Gavin's face flushed as he heard Lord Martinez. Could magic really work that way? Once he created a way into the palace, could they really just use that magical road any time they wanted? The thought chilled Gavin's heart.<br>
<br>
"Prince Tansen, is that true," he asked carefully. He would have to find a way to close any magical roads made the Loidites, and make sure it didn't look like a hostile act. He didn't want to give the people who had been his enemies yesterday a way into the heart of his palace.

Eloran brushes a hand through his long, black hair.  "If i just heard correctly,"  he takes a small bite of the roast, "The logistical implications," he says the words slowly, and takes a sip of wine, "are simple.  Enough capable wizards with a mind to, correct me if I'm wrong, it's called teleporting?  Anyway, enough teleportators..."  he fumbles with the word, "could bring an invasion host to our door, in the dead of night, instantly."<br>
<br>
"As well, it would seem that a mage has been here before, to establish this...gateway?"  He states his suspicion bluntly, sips his wine again, and takes another bite of his meal.<br>
<br>
One more thing to address, a little shiny something he noticed just a moment ago...<br>
<br>
"As well, and again, my Lords, I am but simple muscle among your higher minds, please do correct me if I'm wrong...but I do believe I stated earlier, and in no unclear terms....that <i>MAGIC</i>" he stands up, roaring,"<i>is not allowed</i>!"  He draws his sword in a flash, points it at Deston.  "Take him to his room.  This boy and his ill manners are interrupting our adult discussion.  Draw him a bath, and take his clothes to the laundry.  Prince Deston may have his choice of either bathrobe, or chains, his compliance being the determining factor."<br>
<br>
Two Ritter Hex's move to his command, to drag Deston away, unkindly if he refuses.  "See to it that he has ample protection for the evening.  Wouldn't want anything happening to him."<br>
<br>
Ritter Eloran forks another piece of meat into his mouth, and looks around harshly, his dark eyes raging.  "Resume the pleasantries."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Tansen thought about the prince's question then replied, "Well a fairly powerful mage must first create a connection from the place of origin and our castle. Mind you that the caster that establishes this connection must be of great strengths. A master by mosts standards. If you wish before we leave..." Tansen went silent as the Ritter Hex flew into a furry. He gave a long sigh. So much for the talk they were to have after dinner.<br>
<br>
Deston merely looked at his brother, now a little scared. He had no idea that they would take such small tavern tricks so seriously. He didn't say anything as they took him away, merely stared back at the congregation with a blank stair. He had not thought to take the Ritter Hex so seriously.<br>
<br>
Tansen watched as they dragged his little brother away. He was confronted with choices he suddenly hated to make. Would he defend his little brother and their honor or save what little peace he was sure there to be had at dinner, in hopes of finding peace for his nation. He half stood as the left the room, then fell back into his seat, staring at the door they had just dragged his little brother through.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin rubbed his temples and muttered, "Wizards," under his breath as the Ritter Hex took Prince Deston away. So much for a moment of peace. "Prince Tansen," he said, "as you can see, we take magic very seriously here. An early bedtime is good for the health of your young brother after such a strainous journey."<br>
<br>
Trying to get the momentum of the dinner back, he said, "You were talking about the point of your entry, I believe. I'm interested in what you were about to say."<br>
<br>
Diane stood up. "I'm sorry, but may I be excused."<br>
<br>
"Too much excitement," Gavin asked.<br>
<br>
"Yes. I think I'll just head to my chambers for the night," she said. Turning to the Comtesses, she said, "If it's all right with you, I'll look at the gift in the morning." She hadn't wanted to open it in public, but she did want the comtesses there when she saw it.</div>

Now THOSE were the type of men she liked, ones that could get things done and had no qualms about doing them.  "They're very efficient." She complimented them in general. <i>At least Anstarians do ONE thing well...</i> She thought privately as she watched everyone else, as she finished her own meal, consisting mostly of the roasted deer, she rose, pushing the chair out behind her. "If you'll excuse me. I believe all this passivity is getting to me, I think I"ll take a short walk....if that's ok with you your highness." She addressed Gavin.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin signaled the Ritter Hex. Two moved to escort Diane and two moved to escort Masako. "As long as you stay in the agreed areas, you may take a walk, Baroness," he said. "For safety precautions, you cannot go to the men's chambers, the research facilities, family living quarters, servant quarters or the military quarters."<br>
<br>
Diane said her good-byes and was escorted back to her rooms. The chest the Comtesses had given her was set in the corner of her room. She took her fancy dress off and changed into a plain gown. Taking her book of poetry, she sat by the window to read by candlelight. Too frustrated to read, she put the book away. She knew she should leave these matters to her brother, but sometimes men needed a gentle hand to help guide them. <br>
<br>
Knowing she had to sneak past her guards, she started plotting her escape from her room. When dinner ended, she planned on smoothing things over with the Loidites.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Masako bowed fluidly to Gavin and smoothed her hands down the front of her dress, giving a distasteful look for a moment before starting for the door. "No worries. I don't really have an interest in the men's quarters anyway, or any of the others." She said with a shrug and exited the room with the Hex following her.  She couldn't take it anymore, having to suppress her aura and began to let it seep out just a bit as she relaxed. It wouldn't have any real noticeable effect unless you were exposed to it for more then 15 minutes and moving around prolonged that even more.  "Can you show me the way to the stables?" she asked one of Ritter Hex.  She'd grown up with horse-nomads on the plains so she had an interest in the beasts and was curious to see the breeds they had here.</div>

Mother and Father have spoiled him, at home, so he tends to not listen to the rules." He looked back at the doors the hex's had 'escorted' his brother through. "But yes as I was saying before that disruption. We would gladly take down this connection for you once we left, as a sign of peace between our nations. Though I should warn you this requires the use of more magic." Now that he thought about it, he had no idea how they would get home. They had brought no other form of transportation other than their magic.<br>
<br>
Deston paced in his room, the first waves of fear now gone. Replaced by a feeling of anger. He was to be locked up in his room like some little child. He began to think about whether it would be worth it to use magic to escape, or mess with the guards that were now his, guards. He flopped down on his bed in frustration, letting out a deep sigh. What a bore this trip was turning out to be.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin nodded. "Thank you, Prince Tansen," he said. "I understand it would take magic to destroy magic. Thank you for the warning. I am sure that the Ritter Hex would be willing to allow you to take down the magical road before you leave with no interuptions." He looked over at Eloran after that. He just had to make sure that the Ritter didn't jump at the chance to imprision everyone at once.<br>
<br>
***********<br>
<br>
The Ritter escorts took Masako to the stables. The royal stables were set up in three sections. Horses for riding, horses for the carriages and horses for the fields. The riding horses were mostly for looks and not much use for anything else. The carriage horses were stouter and able to endure pulling a lot of weight and working in teams. The work horses were squat and strong, not much to look at but of good breeds.<br>
<br>
"If her ladyship wishes to ride, we must insist on waiting for daybreak," one of the Ritter Hex said.</div>

They were overall disappointing, it looked like these poor horses couldn't keep up with Goldsparite horses, whom could run marathons over the grasslands at home.  "I suppose I'll have to wait then. Are there any that are actually used for recreational riding? The ones that have those labels don't look like they could carry much or go for long.." she asked, still looking at them.

				<div class="bbWrapper">As she watched the situation with the young royal, HonorÃ¨ felt a migraine coming on, and began to massage her temples. These people didnât need anyone else to screw things up for them; they were doing a fine job themselves. As she moved her fingers in their soothing circular motions, she bent her head, only to stare at the horrifying meat. <br>
<br>
Thankfully, the princess spoke and she had an excuse to look up. âYes, of course, your Highness.â At the rate the evening was going, she was going to end up pleading off her walk with the Prince. She really needed the freedom of a hunt, or at least a ride. Perhaps at least feeding Gawain his night meal would make her feel better. Sheâd not felt so superfluous at any point in her life previous to this. For once, it was with gratitude that she watched Lady Masako perform a faux pas, setting a precedent.<br>
<br>
"Yes, perhaps the day was a bit much for us all." If their rooms were ready, HonorÃ¨ thought she might indeed retire to them in preparation for her walk with the Prince. She needed to be in decent quality for that tÃªte Ã&nbsp; tÃªte.  In the morning though, she would have to go riding for at least a bit, to get her normal energy back.</div>

He knew he believed in hatred, in ancient grudges and in mankind's utmost willingness to shed it's neighbor's blood.<br>

What was peace, but a lull between wars?  Someone would break the truce eventually, and the land would turn into a hell all over again.<br>

He snarls to himself.  He knew a thousand ways to kill a man, had taken out cults and fought summoned demons, and infiltrated some of the toughest forts in Loidi.  He had never felt a true sense of belonging without a sword in his hand, though.  He had never been in love.<br>

				<div class="bbWrapper">And then there was three. Jaren had risen with the leaving of each guest, excepting the hauling off of Deston. He gave the proper bow to the ladies leaving the table before retaking his chair, Princess, Baroness, or Comtesse, he showed the same level of deferrment among all three. He still had a slight smile upon his face, leaning heavily upon his left hand, his right picking at the roast before him, still eating tiny morsels at a time, delicately tearing apart pieces no bigger than one of his toes. He picked slowly, waiting as Prince Tansen and Prince Gavin tried to smooth things over.<br>
<br>
"Sires... little is ever accomplished upon first night. We met, we feasted, we measured. Perhaps it is time to call it a good evening, and let the events settle in our mind. Unless you have such dire business that you seek to accomplish after our friends from Goldspar leave?" He spoke softly, his tone drifting as though his mind was not fully upon what he spoke. He popped a small morsel of honey cake into his mouth, swallowing slowly as he watched the Princes and the strongarm at the table.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin nodded, standing. "It has been a long night for us all. Comtesses, your rooms are ready if you wish to retire." He bent low to Honore and whispered, "I will be in the gardens later, if you still wish to view them."<br>
<br>
Looking at Prince Tansen, he said, "You may see your brother tonight. Please, stress to him that the Ritter Hex do not play games. It would be best that he either refrain from all magical activity here, or keep it to the confines of your rooms."<br>
<br>
Turning to Martinez, he motioned that he wanted to talk to the man. He brought Martinez to the library, not realizing they were followed. Leaning against a chair, Gavin said, "I'm not quite sure how to say this, Lord Martinez. It concerns my sister. You had a chance to meet her, I'm sure you can understand why I'd worry about her." Looking down, Gavin tried to think of how to continue. <br>
<br>
"Diane needs a husband," Gavin said. "Father wants, in the interest of peace, for her to marry the Loidite prince. I am uncomfortable with that idea. That would give them access to the throne and the kingdom. I need to keep her safe from that, to keep Anstaria safe. I think a marriage between Anstaria and Danbar will help matters, and further our political relationship."</div>

Tansen was very interested in what was to be said, that his ears were not ment to hear. He followed the two with the stealth that had been brought on him, in the various raids he had led against this very nation. Standing at the door of the library he was amazed at what he heard. He was quite amazed at such bargaining over anothers life. Such marriages were rare in Lodi, most women choosing for themselves who to marry.

Taking the glove and leash from the girl, she dressed her arm appropriately and took the bird to rest upon her. "Shhhh..."she soothed, stroking the bird's feathers; like his mistress, the bird was tiring of the confines of the trip. Hm...she had a choice to make, and she made it quickly. <br>
<br>
"Go, grab my cloak. Gawain and I will take a walk." Most likely one of the Ritter Hex would follow, but that was their choice. Their part in this whole farce was not so great that she'd risk the health of a bird worthy of kings. Hopefully, the fresh air would perk up the bird until the morning when she could find an excuse to hunt.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">He nodded slowly as the Prince started his suggestion. He seemed to take it all in stride, standing behind the prince as he leaned down. Jaren's hands were clasped behind him, orderly over the small of his back. He kept his stance measured, feet at shoulder with, shoulders squared, looking upon the Prince levely, not casting his gaze down upon the man. No more sly smiles, no more relaxed poses. He stood a good two paces behind the Prince, nodding once more as he finished his proposal.<br>
<br>
"The Princess," he cleared his throat a little, "Diane," he looked over to the Prince, seeing how he reacted to the use of her name. "Seems a proper lady. A true gem of Anastaria. It would be a terrible falsehood to say she would not make a magnificent wife, and a most welcome addition to my Clan."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin sighed, nodding. "She would make someone a fine wife. It's all she's been trained to do since birth. She can easily take command of this palace, knows all of the duties of the house mistress, and can fit into politics as the perfect little helpmate. I've seen to that much of her education. I always figured she'd marry some duke, but my father is insistant. He's not much longer for this world, sad to say."<br>
<br>
Turning to Martinez, he continued, "I can't announce this arrangement too soon. It might make the Loidites suspicious as to why she's suddenly betrothed. You understand that this must be kept secret?"<br>
<br>
He felt a little bad for selling his sister, but it had to be done. It was either a marriage to his allies, or to the man who had just a few days ago been his enemy. He couldn't give Loidi the tactical advantage of having a legal gain to his throne. That idea made him ill.<br>
<br>

<br>
Figuring that dinner was over, Diane crept out of her room by way of the back servant's entrance. Keeping to the shadows, she cut through the gardens on her way to the men's chambers. she didn't know how much went on after she left, but she was deturmined to at least appologize to the Loidites and warn them about what the pentalites of magic in Anstaria. It was only fair, after all.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Tansen stole a peek into the room as he heard the voices. They made it sound as if they were talking about ones prized cattle. The idea made him sick. He wondered why the women of the land stood for such injustices done to them. Such things as this was never done, unless the it was the man who, started the conversation with the woman's family, more so asking for her hand in marriage. <br>
<br>
Deston sat in room going bored out of his mind, as he began to resort to the magic that feared the Anastarians so much to keep himself entertained. He made sure to cover the seals of the doors so no guard could see what was partaking on inside the room. He had coins dancing and flying around the room, as small sparks seemed to come from the ground creating interesting shows of light. It was rare if Deston went a day without using his magic as a device to keep himself busy during the hours he spent in the castle, back home.</div>

His shoulders drooped down an inch, his stance less rigid now as Prince and Lord stood face to face.<br>

"She will be well cared for, Prince. Though I believe it may be wise to arrange some time where we might meet. I would not want to subject her to a sudden shock, suddenly joined to a foreigner.

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin nodded. "Of course. Tomorrow, you can take her out to a picnic lunch or go riding. I'll even call off the majority of her escorts to give the two of you some privacy. It won't be too much of a shock for her, she should be expecting it. I've drummed it into her that she'll most likely be married as part of a political union. And this whole affair is nothing more then politics. She might just be surprised it's you, that's all."<br>
<br>
***********<br>
<br>
As Diane passed through the gardens, she saw the Comtess and her hawk. She paused for a moment, thinking how beautiful and free the animal seemed. She made a mental note to talk to the Comtesses tomorrow. After all, her brother had certainly warmed up to them, and she felt it only fair she actually meet them. They, along with the Baroness Masako, were the only women she was given permission to talk to.<br>
<br>
Moving on, she used the servant's stairs to make her way through the men's quarters towards the Loidite's room.</div>

The Lord nodded once in a gesture of agreement. His heels clicked together, and he bowed deeply to Prince Gavin, right leg shifted behind him, left hand to his stomach and right arm extended out to the side in a graceful, well practiced bow. He rose slowly, straightening up fully, looking the Prince in the eye. Quite flatly he stated, "I expect to see proper papers drawn up soon however, including customary arrangements according to both of our customs. Inform my men when it is ready to sign."<br>
<br>
"And inform Diane her gift will be ready before the ride," a smile did creep onto his face there.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin nodded, a smile creeping across his face. "Not a problem. I actually took the liberty of writing the betrothal papers earlier. All that's needed is your name. The stables will be informed of your ride tomorrow, and Diane will be ready." He paused at the mention of gift, thinking his sister was going to feel like it was her birthday. "Diane will be ready," he repeated.<br>
<br>
He had everything ready. Diane's hand in marriage would mean a great deal to her husband. Her dowery included a noble title in the Anstarian royalty, estate and lands in the kingdom, a chance to inherit the throne and being privy to some of the secret sciences of Anstaria. Gavin knew he picked wisely. If anything went wrong with the peace talks with Loidi, he didn't want to put so much of his kingdom in the hands of his enemies.<br>
<br>
************<br>
<br>
Making it to the Loidite rooms, Diane used the back hall to enter. Knocking on the servant's door, she peered inside. "Hello? Am I interupting? I came to talk."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Tansen quickly and quietly left the area as the two began to wrap things up. Moving swiftly to his brothers room. The more time he was away the more time he would have to cause trouble that truly wasn't necessary between the nations now. His thoughts  were on the royal family of Anastari though. He realized what the prince did, he did thinking it best for his nation, but the rash and brutal part of him believed he just didn't want anything to do with the Lodites in anyway. As these thoughts went through his mind he found himself barging in on his brothers door, free of knocking.<br>
<br>
Deston fell over as his magic suddenly spun out of control for a moment then ground to a complete stop. He thought his brother may have been a Ritter Hex sent to kill him, for a moment. Yet in his eyes it was worse, his brother was steaming from the fact he had been preforming magic again. "Are you kidding me Deston?! What in the world were..." His thoughts were interrupted by a knocking on the servants entry.<br>
<br>
The two looked each other shrugging. Each expecting the other to know what it was about. Eventually Tansen walked over to the door opening it, his other hand placed where his sword should have been. He begged the gods that the Ritter had not seen his brother. Instead when he found the princess he was dumbstruck. "Uma... Your highness... It's a pleasure to see you. Please do come in."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">One of HonorÃ¨'s most cherished and well polished skills were the skills of observation. So despite her own meloncholy, she noticed the distinct difference in footsteps that moved through the garden. Turning just ever so slightly, she saw the flash of the gown from the princess and smiled. It seemed young Gavin's sister was not so meek as he thought. This could be interesting. Chuckling to herself, she handed the bird back to the servant who'd come with her and followed after the young princess. After all, if one could prevent it,  it would be bad form to let the girl get into too much trouble.<br>
<br>
Unlike the girl, HonorÃ¨ moved as if she belonged there. She even deigned to smile at one of the Ritter Hex that she passed in the garden on her way out, acting as if for all intents and purposes she had been called there, as if for an assignation. After all, Goldspar was all but considered loose and free women anyways, and not all of them knew what had transpired in the dining room yet. But once around a corner, she slipped out of sight herself, looking around her for signs of the princess' passage, doors slightly ajar, the scent of perfume. All and all, an amusing time that reminded her of her mother's training. But did manage to surprise her however, was where she ended up.<br>
<br>
She kept far enough back, that the princess who thought herself unobserved, that she would be unobserved and watched what would transpire. Once the princess was inside, HonorÃ¨ would go no further than the door to listen in on the conversation, but if she did not go in, which is what HonorÃ¨ feminine side wish, the comtesse would remain further back. But she did intend to wait for the princess to come out. And then perhaps it would be time for a discussion with the young lady. After all, if her brother caught her, it would serve no one no good.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin opened a cabnet in the library, taking out a bottle of Anstaria's finest liquar. Turning back to Martinez, he said, "A toast to the future." Pouring them both a glass, he handed one to his future brother-in-law. With luck, he could keep his sister safe from the vultures. This marriage would be beneficial to both kingdoms.<br>
<br>
******************<br>
<br>
Diane entered the room and closed the door, not realizing she had nearly missed seeing Honore behind her. She could see the coins scattered on the floor and chose to ignore that. She wasn't sure if they were just looking over their finances or not. Leaning back against the door, she said, "I came to say how sorry I was about what happened at dinner today. I feel as if the laws of Anstaria were not fully explained and that's what caused the misunderstandings."<br>
<br>
She looked back at the coins and then at the princes. "It's no secret that magic is outlawed. Anything to do with magic, even the most innocent of it is subject to fear. I'm sure that the young prince didn't mean anything by his tricks, but my people are on edge. It is normal to hear rumors of the Ritter Hex hunting down the barest glimmer of magic that crops up in our land, but to have it happen in the palace is just frightening.<br>
<br>
"I humbly ask that if you must perform magic, you do so only in your rooms. I would hate for you to give the Ritter Hex any reason to attack. I've seen them in full regalia and on the move, and it's a sight I never want to see again. It wouldn't sit well with our kingdoms if we were forced to imprision you and your brother."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Deston looked up to his brother a cheesy smile upon his face. Tansen had been ready to beat this fact into his little brother before the princess had showed up. Deston looked down at the coins, then back at her. "So then it is ok if we use magic in our rooms?" He hoped she would say yes, not only for the fact that he could do so with out being attacked, but also to win some small victory over his elder sibling.<br>
<br>
Tansen slapped Deston upside the head as he spoke, quickly adding, "What my brother means to say your ladyship is that, he is deeply sorry for not paying attention to your customs. We both will devoid from the use of magic in your land. I am deeply sorry for causing you to pay us this special visit, but thank you very much so for warning us." He gave a slight bow to Diane, as he saw his brother about to speak, he put his foot onto his grinding the small toes of his sibling.<br>
<br>
Deston opened his mouth only to let out a small whimper and bow to the lady as well.<br>
<br>
Tansen thought about telling the woman in front of him of the new he had learned of in the library. It would seem that he was spying on her brother, but he wondered what her opinion on the subject would be. As he thought about it he thought it wise to learn their custom on women first. "May I ask before you leave your highness, how it is marriages are chosen in your land?"</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"Marriage?" Diane felt a deep blush creep up her face. What had they talked about when she left dinner? Pressing back against the door, she said, "I guess that depends on what class you're talking about. If you mean for royalty, it's mostly betrothals to further one party's status. The families in question meet, agree on the terms of marriage and what each party would bring to the union. It's a business deal, I suppose."<br>
<br>
She smiled softly. "Someday, that's how it's going to be for me. I won't be surprised if I'm betrothed before the end of these talks. It would be a good political merger." Though she said it as if it didn't matter, it mattered in her heart. She could accept that any marriage would be purely a matter of status, but that small romantic part of her wanted to not only love her future husband, but to be loved as well.<br>
<br>
"How is marriage handled in Loidi," she asked. "Don't you also barter royal and noble weddings to help strengthen political ties?"</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Tansen laughed at how little Diane knew of her own life. She clearly had no idea she was already betrothed, yet her reply did not help him in any way decided who to tell this precious little bit of information to. All he knew was that he must ask quickly, before the knowledge was let out to the public. He looked down at the poor girl, she was little more than a cattle in this land. Her only purpose was to further her families agenda. Under his breath he spoke, of who she was betrothed to, hoping his brother would catch it, before he spoke, "In our land, their are of course women who are a bit pressured into marriage into anothers family for political reasons. Especially in the higher positions of our land, but for the most part no. We let the two to be wed choose. There are families who make choices due to politics but, at the very least we fool ourselves saying it is not, to those around us. I find it quite sad you have already accepted your fate." He shrugged looking over at his brother, wondering if he had picked up on his hint. His brother was smart and would most likely be the one to help him decide what to do with the information he had.<br>
<br>
But Deston seemed to not be paying attention to anything in the room, looking out into the window. Staring into the vast unknown. He looked back over to the two. "Miss Diane. Would you know if I am allowed to leave my room yet?" He hated being in one place two long, as he looked back at the two he realized he had absent mindfully began to play with the coins again, one now spinning around his feet.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane frowned slightly as she saw Tansen mutter something, but being unable to hear it, she thought it could be a curse or swear. She did smile at the mention that even in Loidi, political marriages existed. That made her feel a little better, somehow.<br>
<br>
"I should get back to my rooms," she said. "I'd hate to think of what kind of panic Gavin would go into if someone checks on me and I'm not there. Thank you for your time, Highness. I'll talk to my brother over breakfast about letting the young prince out. I'm sure he only meant for this to be just for tonight."<br>
<br>
She gave him a low curtsy and slipped back out the door. Her mind was occupied on the question of marriage. Did he ask her that question because Gavin was already trying to secure Loidi through a wedding? It would be very bold of her brother to bring that up so early in the talks. And with Loidi? That didn't sound like Gavin. He was distrustful of magic. <br>
<br>
Head down, she walked through the passage slowly, trying to figure out what it all meant. She couldn't ask Gavin, that would mean that he'd know that she was sneaking around. And to go to a man's room unescorted? Unheard of! She'd never see daylight again if he found out about this.</div>

<br>
Tansen bid farewell then turned to his brother. "I have information. Powerful information. But I know not yet what to do with it." Deston looked at his elder sibling. He could tell he was looking for guidance so he followed up with the expected question.<br>
"What information do you hold?" Deston was shocked to hear it. Such things would at least of been made knowledge to the princess in their country, but this wasn't his country.<br>
<br>
"My brother I suggest, you use this information quickly. Even if it does us no good now it may down the road." He continued on, explaining to his brother what he thought was best to do. The two came to an understanding shortly, and bid each other farewell. Tansen went into the halls, acting a little suspicious of the Ritter Hex in the hall, as he made his way trying to find the Prince Gavin. First going to see if he would be allowed near the princes quarters.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">For a moment, HonorÃ¨ debated whether to leave quickly or to reveal herself to the princess. She decided upon the latter. Stepping out from an alcove where she'd hidden herself when she heard the preparations for the princess to leave again, she looked at the princess, slightly disapproving, but softening it with a smile after a moment or two for the princess to get nervous.<br>
<br>
"Your highness..." She nodded her head in acknowledgment of her position. "Might I suggest we take advantage of each others' presence to provide ourselves an alibi for our location while we discuss how unwise this trip might have been." She gave the girl points for being spunky, but she hadn't thought of how more likely it would be to be caught after the fact, and how it would be obvious that she was coming from the men's quarters, however, if she was escorted, even if by a woman from Goldspar, at least it was a woman. One whom the prince had already shown favor with at that. Besides, perhaps with this secret between them, there would be another measure of trust gained.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">The Lord took the glass, holding its stem between middle and ring fingers on his right hand, his Clan's signet clinking as the band impacted on the cup. He held it aloft, clinking it with the Prince's own glass in tradition before he drew it back to his face. He held the glass under his nose, breathing in the scent of the liquar, letting it fill his lungs before the glass ever touched his lips. He drank slow, taking only a thin sip to start, enough to get a small pool on his tongue, letting the flavor linger there before swallowing. As the fire passed into his stomach, he nodded slowly towards Gavin.<br>
<br>
"To Future, friendship, and fiances," the smile came back to his face, taking another drink, slower, deeper this time. He set his glass down on a nearby surface. <br>
<br>
"There is one more thing, your highness. A small token I have brought for your lordship, perhaps you would wish to collect it in the morning."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane gasped as Honore stepped out of the alcove, startling her. She hadn't really thought of being caught. Normally, Gavin would look the other way when she went to his chambers to sneak a look at books, but this might not be worth forgiving. Being caught by another noble was just surprising.<br>
<br>
"Comtess, you startled me," Diane said. Quickly, she motioned for Honore to follow her. "I would appreciate it if this trip isn't ever mentioned again. This passage will take us out by the gardens, we can just pretend to have been there all night." She and the Comtess went to the gardens. Taking a deep breath, she said, "I hope your stay here in Anstaria is pleasurable. We have a lot of sights that you might enjoy here."<br>
<br>
Thinking back to the bird she had seen earlier, she said, "I'm sure if I talk to my brother, he can arrange for a hunting trip. He enjoys hunting, the forests near the castle provide his favorite past time. Finding another who shares his passions would be nice." She wasn't so innocent she didn't know what kind of passions the comtess would stir in her brother.<br>
<br>
"Also, if you would be so kind as to walk with me to my room, I can open your gift now," Diane said. "Unless you'd prefer to wait until morning." She had been very curious as to what the visitors got her. She wasn't used to gifts.<br>
<br>
*********************<br>
<br>
"That would be wonderful," Gavin said after he took a sip of his drink. "Actually, the morning sounds just right. I will have the paperwork ready for you by then. I left them in my room, locked. I can keep them there until we wish to make the announcement."<br>
<br>
He made the offer, knowing that some lords like to keep a hold of the betrothal papers. Personally, he'd prefer to keep the papers himself, just in case. It's not like a lord hadn't backed out of a betrothal in the past.<br>
<br>
"Just out of curiosity, Lord Martinez, is there anything you require for this betrothal," Gavin asked. "I know our traditions aren't the same, but if there is anything I can do to help prepare my sister to be your wife, let me know."</div>

Martinez's left hand came over towards his right. His thumb and forefinger pinched down upon the ring on his right ring finger. He slowly twisted it, removing it from his finger, holding it out towards the Anastarian Prince as it fell into the palm of his hand. He nodded down, indicating for the Prince to take the ring, the signet of his clan, marked with the sigal of his family from long before they achieved nobility. <br>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin hesitated. His signet ring was his symbol of power. It was how he signed any paperwork, his signature. If he handed it over to Lord Martinez, he was pretty much giving him the power of the throne. There had to be some way to comply with the tradition and not give over his ring.<br>
<br>
"Lord Martinez, I would love to exchange rings with you," Gavin said slowly, "however, the signet ring is an important tool of the ruler of Anstaria. I can't let you have it."<br>
<br>
Quickly, though, he said, "I do have my seal on an amulet. Would that work instead?"</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">HonorÃ¨ chuckled, the girl was extremely protected, but that served her purposes as well. "I came to make sure that you were not being coerced against your will into the men's quarters, your highness." Obviously, she had not been, as she left rather quickly for that purpose. "I'm sure -my- stay will be most pleasurable however it goes. I have no particular fondness for my country of birth. I once had plans to travel the world." Another small laugh. "but after an accident as a young woman, my family refused to release me upon the world. After the accident, any attempts at betrothals had to promise to leave me on  land should he travel." She  smiled at the young woman. "This is as close as I get to travel...with my sister in tow."<br>
<br>
"Be grateful, if these talks end in your marriage, you'll likely have more freedom than you do now."<br>
<br>
They walked a bit further, HonorÃ¨ catching a servant's eye. "Please bring her highness a cloak, so she does not catch her ill", she then turned back to the girl and explained. "If you are going to be sneaky, act as if you are perfectly within your rights to be wherever it is you are. If you look sneaky, people will believe you are up to no good. If you act confident, they will simply believe you belong there." A small lesson for the sheltered girl.<br>
<br>
As they reached the gardens however, she took the girls words into considerations. "Gawain would love a hunt, as would I. It is amusing to note what interests your brother and I share." She would not shelter the girl as most might, she needed to be prepared for her position, no matter who it would be with. Gavin would not have brought his precious sister to simple peace talks. She knew he was planning on marrying her off. It was just a matter of who. There was the Loidites, but he seemed far too mistrustful of them to give her over. All of Goldspar's delegation was female, so her bets were on that Lord Martinez, unless Martinez was simply representing someone else. But she mentioned none of her pondering to her charge.<br>
<br>
"As you wish, your highness." And so they began the walk to the princess' quarters. After that, she would need to meet with the prince if she chose to see what laid down that path. "Yes, a hunt would be nice... but first, your presents."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">His hand outstretched, the signet ring still in the palm of his hand, his fingers curled up slightly as the prince spoke, his smile fading slowly as he presented his counter offer. His shoulders were tensed, and his posture straightened up a little more, and his hand dropped just two inches from where it was.<br>
<br>
"I understand, Your Highness," he bowed deeply at the waist towards Prince Gavin. His left hand deposited his signet ring on the table, right next to his barely touched glass of Anastarian Liquar. He rose slowly from his bow. He seemed relaxed one more, his face neutral as he came up. <br>
<br>
"If it is convient for you, I would rather the ring, I will give you time to have your men craft an appropriate piece. In my lands, such tokens are the marks of servants and slaves, not of brothers to be." He bowed once more, a small gesture, barely lowering his head nine inchs. He stepped backwards, towards the library door. <br>
<br>
"The hour grows late Your Highness, and I have much to attend to among my people, as I am sure you have much to impart to yours."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane smiled, threading her arm through Honore's. "Act confident," she repeated. "I suppose I always took it for granted that I was the princess. Even though I wasn't allowed in the men's quarters, no one ever really reported me. Gavin babies me. We all know it." She smiled softly. "I'm his sister and he treats me like I'm made of glass. He means well, but sometimes I wish he'd be less careful of me and just let me have fun."<br>
<br>
She brought Honore back to the women's quarters. "Marriage doesn't really mean freedom for me," she said. "What if I'm married off to some stuffy politician? I'll just be his quiet little wife. What I want is to marry a man who loves me. That would be wonderful."<br>
<br>
She looked at Honore, "Don't you agree? For nobels, marriage for love seems so rare. I don't mind if it's all politics in the end, as long as he really cares about me."<br>
<br>
*******************<br>
<br>
Gavin nodded. "Of course, I will have a ring made first thing in the morning. It might take a few days to get it right." He looked at the door. "If you will excuse me, Lord Martinez, I believe I'm late for a date with a very lovely lady." He excused himself and left, walking out to the gardens. If he was in luck, then Honore hadn't left yet and he could still enjoy some of the night with her.</div>

He began to pace back and forth in front of the door, but soon even that could not keep him preoccupied. He dragged out one long sigh, then began to head back to the library, hoping the Prince had not yet left. It seemed he would never be able to have a nice talk with the prince, Tansen chuckled as he began to roam the halls for where he had followed the prince once before.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Hmm..would the girl be more dangerous with knowledge or without. Gavin wouldn't appreciate her enlightening his sister most likely, but the girl seemed intelligent enough if given a chance. The problem was, she hadn't been given the chance, which was a self perpetuating cycle in that she didn't seem like she could handle it.<br>
<br>
"How about you go open your present first." This one took a little more trouble than usual, HonorÃ¨ was known for her impetuous nature but she genuinely felt sorry for the girl. Every girl wants love, even one such as her. "But yes, nobility is a burden that the commoners do not know when it comes to marriage. We must sacrifice our virtue for the sake of alliances. But there are cases where even alliances can lead to that emotional upheaval called love. Tell me, if you thought your brother would give you to one of the men here, who would you prefer? You can't know what you would love, if you don't know what you would like." It seemed the odds were against her meeting with Gavin tonight unless his meeting ran long. It was a shame, she would have enjoyed the walk.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">The Lord stepped aside as the Prince rushed past him. He gave the man a polite bow as he left, even as his eyes went back to the table, to the signet ring he offered, and where it remained twice rebuked. With the prince gone behind closed doors, his face darkened. The polite mask was gone, his face seemed slack, his eyes sunken back, his skin paler than it had been before. He reached out slowly, taking the ring back in his left hand, slowly putting it back on his right hand, securing it in the old familiar spot it has rested for years. He looked over towards the elite knight of the Ritter Hex stationed in the Library, saying nothing to the man who had silently watched the whole event.<br>
<br>
He moved deeper into the library. His eyes scanned over old spines and open tomes. His pace was slow, letting him linger in spots as he caught better looks at some books. His hand reached out, feeling the bindings as he walked, running along lettering. Deeper into the library he went, towards tables with stacked books. Places he found inkwells and quills. His paces lingered here longer. Until finally he reached one tome that brought him to a stop. He flipped through pages slowly, reading a few passages quietly. He slowly closed the book, tucking it into his arm. He made his way back out of the library with measured steps. Chin up, shoulders back, he never glanced at the knight again as he made his way to the door. He opened it without a word, turning on his heels and heading down the hall to his quarters. He said nothing to the men in the hall. Not until he reached his chambers, and shut the heavy door behind him.<br>
<br>
His men looked towards him, and the Lord said only one thing:<br>
<br>
"It is done."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane thought that over. "Who would I choose to marry? That's an odd question," she said. "Of the men I've met, I'm not sure. Lord Martinez and I have had a chance to talk, and I find him to be very nice. However, knowing my position and that of my brother's, I'd assume that I'd be married off to Prince Tansen. It could very well help cement the bonds between Anstaria and Loidi."<br>
<br>
She chewed on her lip. The question had been whom she'd want to marry, but she could barely wrap her mind around that. In each person, she saw potential political pulls. Lord Martinez was from a kingdom that Anstaria had a trade agreement with, yet her brother was supposed to be trying to stay on Loidi's good side. "I really don't know either of the men to make such a choice," she said. "Both seem to be very nice men."<br>
<br>
Behind them, Gavin entered the gardens. He spotted them across the way and hurried over, trying to not make it look as if he were hurrying. By the time he reached them, he heard Diane say, "I suppose I'd just have to get to know them better before I can answer."<br>
<br>
"Answer what," Gavin asked, walking behind the two women.</div>

"I simply asked her which of the men here she most liked the looks of." Not a complete untruth, often it was only the looks that women concerned themselves with at first, or so men believed. "Girl talk if you would." Frivolous and completely innocent for all intents and purposes. "On one hand, we have Lord Martinez, who while not a warrior, is wealthy and handsome enough. He seems intelligent. And then we have both of the Loidites." She seemed to brush off the Loidites as inconsequential, even if Goldspar was supposed to be their intermediaries.<br>

The tension was still apparent in his body, not a single part of the man was relaxed and calm. His frame was obviously tense, his shoulders were hunched up more than normal. His brow furrowed, eyes narrowed. It was a good four seconds before his expression softened before Tansen, the corner of his mouth tugging up into the smallest of smiles, his shoulders dropping just a little, his brow relaxing, his eyes opening back up. <br>

Diane smiled, any confidence she had once displayed squashed as she took on the role of obediant sister. "I just felt like some fresh air. When I ran into Comtess Honore, we agreed to go back and see the gift she and her sister brought. I was very curious as to wha it was."<br>
<br>
Gavin nodded. "I see no reason why you can't go look at it now. If comtess Honore doesn't mind, I have to see to some personal papers first. Our walk in the gardens would have been delayed. This may make it seem as not so much of a delay." He took Honore's hand, chastely kissing the back. "I will stop by my sisters room to see if you still desire our walk, or if you'd prefer me to just escort you back to your rooms."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane took Honore to her room. "It's not really much," she said, showing the comtess inside. "I never really put much into my room, knowing I'd be leaving someday." Her room was rather plain with only a bed and armoir and vanity. Most of the luxury that one would think of a princess had been left out. Not only were the Anstarians rather modest peoples, but Diane didn't want to move too much when she married<br>
<br>
The chest that the comtesses had brought sat innocently in one corner. "I'm rather curious," Diane said. "I wasn't expecting anything from anyone. Normally i am kept away from any political meetings. The last time we had guests, I was sent to a small manor in the country."<br>
<br>
*************<br>
<br>
Gavin headed quickly back to his room. He paused when he saw Martinez and Tansen standing in the halls near the men's quarters. He slowed, walking up to them. "Is anything the matter," he asked. He was sure that Martinez was heading back to his chambers, but he wasn't sure why Tansen was wandering around.</div>

He has a great distrust of magic. I do not think it likely he would do such a thing, even if it was ill advised. Both I and my sister have done likewise when we believed the other to be making a mistake." She smiled. "I could be wrong, but if he chooses the delegate from Danbar, they at least look upon their brides with pride, and as a married woman you would  have a great deal of freedom." It came to her mind then that she wasn't sure where and why she had picked up the knowledge of Danbar marriage, but quickly dismissed it from her mind, it was likely just a random bit of trivia from one of their merchants.<br>
<br>
"They can be polygamous though, so if the bedroom is not to your liking, you might not be called on often." She realized then that her words might frighten the girl. "But for all their seeming disregard of women, they actually do cherish them. How many wives a man has shows how wealthy he is. As a princess, you'd be cherished even if he took other wives or had other wives already. Although, I'm sure your brother wouldn't give you as a second or third wife to anyone, so you just have to worry about later, most likely." She lifted a hand, waving it around.<br>
<br>
"I don't mean to distress you. But I think you deserve more credit than you get. Which  is why I'm speaking honestly with you. And it is also part of the reason behind our gift. I want you to remember us well. If it was any male delegate giving you a gift, then you'd could probably be sure they are there to try and marry you, but from me and my sister, it's all about trade relations." She lifted the lid of the chest so the princess could see what was inside.<br>
<br>
Like her brother, there was a bed of silver fox fur that would turn out to be a short luxurious capelet for her, and then a gorgeous <a href="http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu236/Veteratorian/Random/bridgetnecklaceemeraldweb.jpg" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">emerald, pearl and gold necklace.</a><br>
<br>
"Consider it a wedding gift as well if I turn out to be right."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">The lord bowed quickly, a short, curt, but generally polite gesture as he stepped out from between princes, heading back down the hallway towards his chambers. His steps were slower than they had been when Prince Tansen ran into him. His tension was out of sight. With the tome tucked into the crook of his left arm he navigated the way straight to his chambers, not looking to talk to anyone, guard, servant, or otherwise on his way to his chambers.<br>
<br>
Inside the door, he quickly made for his bed, setting the tome down upon the heavy blanket, a long slow sigh escaped his lips as he moved deeper into his chambers. His servants were quick to move, knowing his mood without him having to say a word. One ran off to fetch up a fresh basin of flowered water, another breaking into the Lord's trunk, pulling free the Danbari Noble's nighttime wear for the day. Another approached, peeling the jacket off Martinez, setting it aside.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane slowly lifted the fox fur caplet. She needed the time to actually think over what Honore had told her. Yes, she was expecting to be engaged before the ink was dry on any peace treaty signed. She hadn't spent a lot of time with any of the visiting men to fully decide whom she'd prefer to marry. If it was Lord Martinez, she'd have to spend more time with him to see what kind of man he was. Though, she didn't think she should rule out Prince Tansen just yet.<br>
<br>
"This is beautiful," Diane said, rubbing the fur against her cheek. "It's so soft."<br>
<br>
Looking back at Honore, she said, "What do you think I should do? I've never known any life outside of this castle, and never even thought to look into the traditions of the other kingdoms. You're a worldly woman. Can you teach me how to be not so naive?"<br>
<br>
*******************<br>
<br>
Gavin motioned for Tansen to follow him. "You can talk on the way to my room. There are some things I must take care of, and then I'm needed in the gardens. What was it you wished to discuss?" He walked briskly toward his room, needing to update the betrothal papers. <br>
<br>
He knew he had to get the betrothal set before the Loidites found out about it. He couldn't risk having Tansen go after his sister before she was properly wedded.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">She smiled."Well, we can start with this one. This is Goldsparite Silver Fox. One of the most rarest of gifts that is able to leave the country. It is used only as gifts for royalty or wedding presents. In your case, likely both." She reached out and touched the girls cheek, curling her finger to brush along the skin before tugging a curl of hair loose to frame her face better.<br>
<br>
"You're an attractive young lady, never be afraid of using that to your advantage. However!" she put up one finger as a warning. "Never be so brazen that you scare the men. Lady Masako is an attractive woman as well, but she relies too much on her brute force. A woman is meant to be soft. Men have fragile egos. They need comfort and understanding. They have to be the best, the superior one. Never question this, or show any reason to question their judgment publicly. If they underestimate you, you can train them. The courtship game is all about this. in this, you have an advantage. It is much like war for women. We retreat as they advance, and casually mention ideas that do not occur to them. This is how women work. You have to look for reasons."<br>
<br>
A well shaped finger slipped up to tap against her lip. "I'm not sure what to show you. I do not want to anger your brother..." A small grin "...yet. Anger is also a tool that can be molded."<br>
<br>
"Alright. Well, what do you wish to know? I'll try and decide if it would be wise to teach you. After all, you may end up with Prince Tansen after all and not Lord Martinez. We don't know, and all eventualities must be prepared for."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane looked down at herself. "Well, as you see, I don't really have a lot to work with." She gestured to her clothes that covered her from neck to ankle. "I'm expected to be modest and leave everything up to the imagination of the men. I wish I could dress like you. You're not fully modest, but you leave a lot covered."<br>
<br>
She smiled softly, "I saw how you and Gavin were acting at dinner. I wish I could be that bold. I've never seen Gavin so interested in anyone like he was in you. If you want, I can help you keep his interest. I know him better then most people do, just as I'm sure you know your twin better then most."<br>
<br>
Diane looked back at the caplet. "I want you to teach me how to be seductive. Please?"<br>
<br>
******************<br>
<br>
Gavin frowned. "My father is very ill. He came down with a mysterious illness not too long ago. I'm in charge while he's unable to be with us." He looked down, not wanting to discuss his father. His father was a strong man and now, he was a shell of his former self. He was fading fast, and Gavin was worried that he'd die. He wasn't sure he was ready to rule just yet.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">At this, HonorÃ¨ had no choice but to chuckle. " My dear, seductive can be fully dressed or no. A simple touch can seduce a man..." she leaned closer, her cheek almost touching Diane's but not quite. "or even a woman.", her breath and voice curled around the princess' ear. She leaned back, to see how discomforted the girl was. <br>
<br>
"The prince likes me because I'm an oddity. An intelligent woman, who as you say, more modest than some, but know what to do with my body. I am not scared of my body. I know it can bring pleasure." She watched Diane for a moment, considering.<br>
<br>
"Tomorrow. If you are not scared, tomorrow afternoon when the men retire to talk politics and the women are excused from the proceedings. Then I will teach you not to fear that which brings pleasure." For a moment, just in her mind, the image of a male body pressed her against soft grass, telling her to calm that it was her body which brought pleasure, flashed through her mind. Yet, she knew she'd had no experience like the one she'd just imagined.</div>

<br>
"Sure thing," Diane said, her voice slightly husky. "I normally have all afternoon free. Maybe we can have lunch in the bird cage? It's really a girl-only garden, and the birds can cover up anything we talk about." Diane knew she had to learn everything she could.

				<div class="bbWrapper">Eloran was surprised when Gavin offered Diane to Martinez.  So quickly, it seems his Prince was becoming quite ruthless.  Maybe moving a little quickly Eloran furrowed his brow.  Then again, he figured the Prince knew what he was doing.<br>
<br>
He sighed, anxious to see the outcome of all this, but he had been pessimistic about this from the beginning.  His ears pricked at something, and his eyes snapped a little wider, suddenly ready.  He stood up from his slouch in a flash, and made a step to his Prince's side quite unsubtly.  Eloran remained silent, eyes drilling into the crafty wizard prince.  His first thought was that he had spied on them, but did he do it magically?  Was he hiding in the library, or did he have a spell that amplified his hearing?  He supposed he could have just leaned his ear against the door.<br>
<br>
Something felt wrong in his stomach.  He didn't like this, these people walking from room to room, conspiring against each other and wringing their hands....<br>
<br>
He focused.  This was a powerful wizard, he was offended.  He was currently at war with them.  Would Gavin be able to smooth this over?  Would the Tansen make a move?<br>
<br>
<i>No.</i>  Eloran's brows furrowed intently, predatory, lying in wait should he become hostile.  <i>He won't be able to make a move.</i></div>

He felt rather then saw Eloran stiffen next to him. It was obvious the Ritter Hex didn't like the direction of the questions either. "I have a busy night, Prince Tansen," Gavin continued. "I don't feel like playing word games. If you have something to say, say it."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Masako would return to the women's quarters after she'd gotten her walk in and instead of going straight to the room itself, she'd converse politely with a few of the maids in the corridor. Feigning interest in the goings on in the castle and the Anstarian culture in itself; she didn't agree with alot of it it seemed but learning more about it might be helpful. But It wouldnt' surprise her if the maids didn't even speak to her or knew very much so it might be an act of futility to do it but at least they didn't grate on her nerves.  Reina himself had remained where he was the entire time but had gone to the men's quarters and stationed himself in an out of the way area and leaned up against the wall, eavesdropping on any conversations within earshot.</div>

"Alright then, you have work tonight to do, young miss." she leaned in close, to where their breath mingled, her gray blue eyes staring at Diane until the woman showed a slight discomfort. Then slowly, she raised one hand and traced her nail along the girl's jaw, the touch feather light before leaning closer in, and pressing her lips softly to the other girls. It was not a quick kiss, but nor was it a long one. Simply one to implant it firmly into the girl's brain.<br>
<br>
"Tonight, I want you to think about how the kiss made you feel." She leaned back. "And now I take my leave, your highness. Tell your brother that I am in the garden if he wishes to see me still." she began walking towards the door before turning back around. "Also if you'd like to mention the idea of a hunt to him, I would appreciate it." And as simply as that, she stepped through the door and towards the gardens.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Tansen was relieved when he was told to speak plainly. He had no love for politics and cutting around the hedge. He had been a warrior in the Lodite army the past five years, and developed a love for being able to speak plainly in front of men. "Your highness, I have to admit, I have very little love for your nation, and I know you have very little love for mine. But if we are to make these negotiations continue towards peace as our fathers have wished, then you should not lie." He watched the Ritter Hex out of the corner of his eye. He knew the Hex would have no problem with putting a sword to him now, so he had to stay alert.<br>
<br>
"The very least you can do is respect me enough to tell me the truth. I if you wish to go behind your fathers back that is your choice. I should wonder if your children will carry out your last wish if you were on the death bed in the same way." He began to slow down nearly turning around as he spoke his last words. "But as you said, you have a very busy evening, so I think I shall be off to tell her of your wonderful news."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin stared down at the retreating form of Tansen. The man was still a mystery. Gavin wasn't sure if the Loidite was hinting that he knew about the betrothal between Martinez and Diane, or if that was just his guilty concious talking. Turning to Eloran, he said, "Follow him and report back to me. Try to not let him know you are there, I don't want to spook him. He knows something, or thinks he knows something, and I want to find out what."<br>
<br>
Walking to his room, he went straight to where he kept the papers. Hurriedly, he signed them and used his ring to make it official. He wasn't taking a chance that the Loidite prince might ruin the union between Anstaria and Danbar.<br>
<br>
***********<br>
<br>
Diane's fingers came up and touched her lips after Honore left. That was her first kiss. It wasn't as she had imagined, but it wasn't horrible either. Her lips still tingled. Closing her eyes, she pictured the feeling of the kiss. Would it feel the same if it were the prince or Lord Martinez? Did she have the courage to find out?</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">After the door closed, HonorÃ¨ let out a quiet chuckle. If the girl was as innocent as she supposed, then she'd likely be thinking about the kiss for a long while before she fell asleep with it on her brain. "..should make for interesting dreams." She tried to recall her first kiss, but while there were shadows there, she could not put a face to it. It was like this every time. ValÃ¨re aaid it was simply her mind not wanting to think about his death, but she'd seen her dead betroths portrait. It didn't feel like him. Shaking off the maudlin feeling, she continued on the way to the garden. She'd been like this since dinner when Lord Martinez had mentioned Gawain, as if he'd known her previously. It was frustrating.<br>
<br>
She gave one of the Ritter Hex's a smile and moved into the garden. Even as late as it was, she could see the flowers in the moonlight. It was a perfect night for a walk. Brushing aside a bit of imaginary lint, HonorÃ¨ moved to a bench, and leaned back and stared up at the moon, sky and stars. Ever constant was the moon, looking at generation after generation of humans wandering lost and alone. As she looked, and believed herself to be alone, she began speaking to the moon, one of her few frivolous habits.<br>
<br>
"A black cat among roses,<br>
Phlox, lilac-misted under a first-quarter moon,<br>
The sweet smells of heliotrope and night-scented stock.<br>
The garden is very still,   <br>
It is dazed with moonlight,<br>
Contented with perfume,<br>
Dreaming the opium dreams of its folded poppies.<br>
Firefly lights open and vanish   <br>
High as the tip buds of the golden glow<br>
Low as the sweet Alyssum flowers at my feet.<br>
Moon-shimmer on leaves and trellises,<br>
Moon-spikes shafting through the snow ball bush.   <br>
Only the little faces of the ladiesâ delight are alert and staring,<br>
Only the cat, padding between the roses,<br>
Shakes a branch and breaks the checkered pattern<br>
As water is broken by the falling of a leaf.<br>
Then you come,<br>
And you are quiet like the garden,<br>
And white like the Alyssum flowers,   <br>
And beautiful as the silent sparks of the fireflies.<br>
Ah, Beloved, do you see those orange lilies?<br>
They knew my mother,<br>
But who belonging to me will they know<br>
When I am gone."   <br>
<br>
It was a depressing thought, but at her age, she had all but given up hope of being married and having children. It was not their place, her sister would say.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">After rehiding the signed papers, Gavin made sure he was presentable and went down to the gardens. He was pleasently surprised to see Honore there, waiting. Walking up to her, he smiled. "I'm glad my sister didn't talk your ears off," he said. "I was a little worried that I'd be alone tonight."<br>
<br>
He took her hand, kissing her palm, his eyes never leaving hers. "If I may be so bold, but you look lovely in the moonlight, comtess. Like a rare gem that I feel like hiding from the eyes of others, hording you for myself." He sat next to her, looking up at the moon. "Would you care to see the atrium? We have a collection of rare birds that are quite lovely."</div>

"I think I would like that walk. I love birds and I've found that at night, you get to witness their true majesty. Even the simplest of jewels can be brilliant if polished correctly." It was true, she adored birds, her own Gawain a crowning jewel that she'd received long ago from a suitor. Luckily the majestic birds had a long life. <br>

"Prince Tansen seems to think he knows something about me, but I'm not quite sure what. Since he's not currently bothering you, I guess it's not my interest in you that's his big secret."<br>
<br>
He opened the cage door and led her inside. Being night, most of the birds were asleep, but it was still a private area. Gavin gently pulled Honore closer to him, bringing her to one of the benches. "This place was made for some past queen. She had an allergy to the sun, I believe. This was for her to enjoy nature and not worry about it." He looked up at the trees and perches. "My sister and I used to come here at times. It was our favorite secret hiding place."</div>

"So tell me about this interest you  have in me." She smiled even though it would be difficult to see. "After all, a woman does like to have her ego flattered as well." That and it would put it out in the open between them; HonorÃ¨ was not known for mincing words, although she often choose them wisely as she was able. She knew she was a novelty for the prince, but it wouldn't hurt to see how well he played the courtier's game.<br>
<br>
She sat down on the bench, reposing in a way that she knew was attractive, the long lines of her body that showed off every curve and hinted at what was beneath. This was one of the things she would teach Diane upon the morrow.<br>
<br>
"Hiding places are a necessity, your highness. One must always have a place to retreat, regroup and prepare for the next advance. Even a prince."</div>

What are your dreams, your hopes? What brought you to politics?" He leaned in closer, his breath tickling her neck. "What are your secret desires?" He planted a small kis on her neck, breathing in her perfume.<br>
<br>
"When I saw you, I knew you weren't like the other women," he said softly. "You and your sister are intelligent, a quality that I find rare in Anstaria." He gently stroked her cheek. "You can be so bold, yet you're never vulgar. I find that intoxicating." He leaned closer, his lips barely touching hers. "Just say stop, and I will." It was an offer he would never have thought to make to any other woman. He was the prince, the man, the one meant to be in charge. However, he knew that if she said stop, he'd obey that wish.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Her perfume of choice was much like the garden they were in, her natural musk mixing with the compresses of orchid and lilies. She found the prince charming although so very young. However, she did not refuse the kiss off her neck, and instead savored the sensation against the softness of her skin. <br>
<br>
"A woman, whether intelligent or not has many desires, your highness. It is still a man's world. A woman desires security." She looked at his eyes then, "I will not lead you a whore's game, but I reserve the right to rescind my permission." No matter that he was not used to being told no, most likely, HonorÃ¨ had more than a few tricks up her sleeve if he got out of hand. With that, she moved that incremental amount of space, and pressed her lips softly to his, bringing her left hand up, to caress his jawline, much like she had his sister, the nerves at the taut stretch of skin highly sensitized; perfect for her purposes. Drawing it upwards, she cupped his ear with her hand, and caressed the sensitive curve of his ear even as she deepened the kiss.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">the kiss sent a shock through Gavin's body. A pleasent thrill that surrounded him and pulled him closer to Honore. His hands moved down to clutch at her hips, his fingers curling around the soft material of her dress. One hand moved behind her back, playing with the stays of her corset. He pulled back from the kiss slightly, moving his lips down her neck. He eagerly bathed the skin of her neck and along the neckline of her dress. <br>
<br>
***************<br>
<br>
In her room, Diane slowly took off her clothes. Standing in front of her mirror in her chemise, she took a good look at herself. She wasn't an ugly woman, she just never thought to put her beauty to any use. Her dark red hair tumbled over her shoulders and she liked the look. Maybe, tomorrow, she'll keep her hair down. She smiled, thinking that sounded like a plan.</div>

I have been meaning to meet the the good Lord Martinez, tonight and I'm on my way there now. If it is your wish then you can accompany me. I have to schemes as you believe." He would be damned before he was ordered around by a Ritter Hex. The war had inspired a hate upon their kind that burned with such anger and hate that could only be equaled to blood lust.

It amused her; his ardor was quite lustful, and she'd have to keep a tight rein on things. But she had handled these before.<br>

"Your highness." Her voice was breathless as she spoke. "Please. I am a Lady of noble family, not a wench to be tumbled upon the ground." There was regret in her tone, but she was indeed a lady, and only so much could be permitted.</div>

The thought of what he would do tomorrow in such a boring place seemed to become rather old as well. His mind was just starting to finish with the conversation the two princes had with the princess, when he thought about how she came in without anyone knowing. The thought came to his head that the entire time he had been in his room he could be out around the castle.<br>
<br>
Jumping for the chance to leave, he quickly opened the door to leave when he stopped. He turned back grabbing from the draw a black rain cloak that would conceal his face if need be. He made his way out. He decided to head to the right deciding that the left had no coverage, in the case he needed to hide. He began making his way into the garden, looking for something to quench his boredom.</div>

When he finally got himself calmed down, he sat back. "Of course," he said. "I have been crude. A lady of your caliber should not be tupped in the middle of the garden. You deserve wooing and fine gifts."<br>
<br>
He smiled, "Forgive my rudeness, Honore. I let my own desires cloud my manners." He moved slightly so that he wasn't rubbing up against her, but was still sitting close. He still wanted to be with her, but he would do her justice by taking it slower and being a gentleman. It was what she deserved.</div>

It was awkward, calling someone by their formal title after such a passionate interlude, but he was royalty and he'd not given her leave to call him anything else, and she would not be presumptuous. "Although, my taste is eclectic, you'd be hard pressed for gifts that would actually serve a purpose in wooing me." She laughed then, her voice still a little husky from their endeavors.<br>
<br>
"But speaking of hopes and dreams, what are yours? Not just as a prince of the blood. But as a man. Perhaps we can start there. Learning of each other." She leaned over then, and kissed him softly. "Lighter kisses would not be amiss either." And smiled as she leaned back to await their discussion.</div>

All my dreams revolve around them," he said. "All I want is for Anstaria to be safe and my people to be happy. I want to find a good husband for my sister so she'll be taken care of. I want to find a good wife to stay by my side."<br>

He looked down, trying to think of any of his dreams that didn't put his kingdom first. His happiness seemed to rest on Anstaria. At this moment, what he wanted for himself was Honore, but he'd hold back for her sake. Other then a few moments of bliss, he couldn't think of anything that didn't mean he'd have to sacrifice for his kingdom.</div>

He was healthy just last month, and now he's wasting away. I may not marry right away, but I have to find someone for Diane. She has to be taken care of. I owe it to her."<br>
<br>
He leaned down, kissing her softly on the top of her head. "And, yes, my marriage will be solely to better Anstaria. It's all I can do. What kind of king would I be if I didn't put my kingdom first?" What he needed in a wife was a woman who understood politics who would be a helpmate for him. That meant looking outside of Anstaria.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Deston walked through the garden flipping the coins in his pocket doing various tricks, apparently learning nothing from his past experiences. He made sure they were low profile tricks in the least, not to catch anyone's attention if they were to see him from a far. He made sure not to go to deep into the gardens, such places were for couples at night back home and he did not wish to see if such traditions still held up in this country.<br>
<br>
Rather he moved around the outskirts of the garden until making his way back to the courtyard. He knew he could not renter the castle from there and decided to back track a little heading back to the place he had first seen the princess looking through the window. Finding the room familiar from where she stood he decided to enter this way. The meeting room was empty, and now it was pitch black. He donned his hood, as he prepared to make his way to his room once again.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"Your best advantage is to marry her to the Loidite prince, but you can't bring yourself to do it, can you?" She knew her own twin would never accept anything less than what she considered the best for her sister, and HonorÃ¨ was the same way, except that HonorÃ¨ knew that ValÃ¨re had no inclination to marry. She'd seen how he'd reacted to the Loidites. She leaned her head on his shoulder. In some ways, he seemed so young to be taking on such a large responsibility, but it had happened before. <br>
<br>
"You would need a wife who is politically smart in a time when there is such turmoil in your country, yet at the same time, she has to be impeccable in behavior. No offense, but your Anstarian women do not seem the type that most would be capable of being a partner to you. Will you look to other kingdoms? Not Loidite, perhaps, but there are many noble families in the world. Not all of whom are friendly towards magic. At the same time, if you fear magic as much as your Ritter Hex, it is a weak point for you. You can not learn the weaknesses of something if you fear it." She sighed, it always ended up as politics. But it was what she was here for, after all. She felt bad for the girl though.</div>

"He seems stable, and intelligent enough." she agreed with him, it sounded like a reasonable offer, assuming that Martinez agreed.<br>
<br>
At his comment about her, she tilted her head up from his shoulder and kissed his cheek. "You flatter me, your highness. I am but a comtesse, a shared title at that. You are destined for a princess, duchess or marquise. We're a both a little out of each other's range, I'm afraid." A small laugh then. "Although I'm fairly sure even my sister would not be able to argue against me marrying a prince, soon to be king. She thinks that none of my suitors are worthy of me. You, she could not argue."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"We have no choice in the matter. We never know from day to day who our ruler will be. You either live and breathe politics or you lose everything." There was a bit of bitterness in there. She still blamed their father for losing their fortunes. First the cargo ship that he'd invested in heavily that had been lost at sea along with her fiancee. And then secluding himself in the country when their mother died. He'd all but committed political suicide. So far, he'd maintained his title, and if he did die, she'd be a Marquise since she would share the title with her sister. It would be nice to have a title of her own, even if it was one far grander than she'd ever expected.<br>
<br>
"Yes, if you ask for my hand in the light of day, I will consider it honestly. Here.." Turning slightly in his grasp, she lifted her hands and took a lock of his hair, braiding it down. "This is a promise lock, if you wear this, I will know your intentions are honest. It is sacred in my mother's clan." For a moment, there was a flash of doing this for someone else. Thinking once again of her lost fiancee, she let herself savor the bitter moment, before moving on to the present. As she braided, she thought about her dreams.<br>
<br>
"I love hunting, I'm an excellent horsewoman and Austringer. Like any woman, I seek security in the world. I think it is one reason I have refused to become a mistress. No matter how good a contract, in the end, you are still left." She let him have a peek at her inner workings. Give a little, get a bit back. "I have a decent hand with sewing and accounts, but I have little taste for lies. I think perhaps that is why my political career does not grow as fast as I would like." she was speaking of herself as a singular. Something she did rarely. Truly, he was being treated. "There...finished." The braid framed his face, much like some of the more barbarian cultures, but it was a warriors mark, and normally only a woman to whom he'd promised himself had the right to braid it for him. It was a bold move, but one that would let HonorÃ¨ know he was serious about his intentions.<br>
<br>
((Austringer is a word for a hunter who uses Hawks, or more properly Falcons))</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin closed his eyes as Honore braided his hair. The way her fingers artfully twisted his hair was erotic. He could let her do this every day. There was just something so intimate about it.<br>
<br>
"You enjoy hunting," he said, opening his eyes. "I can arrange a hunt while you're here. I normally hunt in the woods outside the palace, and I fear that once I'm king, I won't have the time to go anymore." He could get a hunt together in the next day or so, it would be a nice distraction. Surely the men in the talks would enjoy getting out as well, and he had a feeling that hte baroness would also enjoy hunting.<br>
<br>
He touched the braid. "I won't ever take this out," he promised.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">She laughed then, a laugh that seemed to make her young and girlish again. "Hunts can also be diplomatic...Gavin..."  she decided to be bold then, and use his given name. After all, in her mind, she'd just given him his promise braid. That meant she was allowed certain intimacies. "When people are in the middle of a hunt, something that holds sway over life and death, that rush can be used to manipulate them. Several of Goldspar's previous kings have used to them to great advantage."<br>
<br>
She laughed again at his comment about his braid. "It'll fall out on its own without some unguent. I have some in my room, if you'd like, I can apply it tomorrow." she smiled. It was nice to be so easy and free with someone else. Most likely ValÃ¨ree would be simmering in a rage in their rooms, but she would not dare to upset her in this.</div>

She "knew" they all looked down upon her for being so brazen and bold about her appearance and personality; the blonde had done away with that damnable dress and had packed it away and was sitting on a chair looking out of her window.  It had a view but in the dark she'd have to wait a few moments before her vision turned over to nightivision before she could see it all in the low-light.  "Man this is so boring... I can't wait for tomorrow to come, maybe I can sneak out and go for my own ride." she mused some and continued to watch the outdoors.</div>

"When I see you tomorrow, I'd love for you to help me put the unguent in my hair. I can only pray that I don't mess it up with my tossing and turning tonight." He smiled, brining her fingers to his lips. "I wonder how Diane would feel about the prospect of having a sister-in-law?"</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"The biggest problem is that technically speaking, you are in the most vulnerable position here. To the victor go the spoil." HonorÃ¨ was quiet as she thought about the problem. "I'd say offer some kind of technological advance that they won't have figured out with their magic yet. But I myself am not too sure of what it could be. But for any kind of peace out of all of this, they'll want something big. Perhaps agricultural technology. It's much harder to do something with the earth in magic, as mother nature does not like to be forced to do anything." She sighed, things always had to be so difficult. She leaned back, and looked back up to the moon, much like she had when he'd first arrive, the faint light highlighting the curves of her body in a most attractive way.<br>
<br>
"I know that all beneath the moon decays,<br>
And what by mortals in this world is brought, <br>
I know frail beauty like the purple flower,<br>
To which one morn oft birth and death affords;<br>
That love a jarring is of mindsâ accords,<br>
Where sense and will invassal reasonâs power"<br>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane stepped aside. "Come on in, maybe I can help," she said. Her brother had a bit of a problem of letting first impressions color his perseption. She had a feeling that she'd spend most of her time smoothing over his mistakes. What would he do without her? "Please, make yourself at home and tell me what's wrong."<br>
<br>
She could actually see why her brother would avoid the baroness. The baroness didn't really seem to go for the Anstarian modesty, and that could be a problem for Gavin. It made Diane uncomfortable, too. However, she smiled and sat demurely on her bed.<br>
<br>
****************<br>
<br>
"And you are so poetic," Gavin said. "I wish I had that talent. I'm afraid, I'm very boring. All my life was nothing but preparing for when I'd be king. My only hobby is reading or hunting." He gave a small laugh. "Diane is like that too. I turn a blind eye when she steals books from the library that she shouldn't, but I spoil her. Reading is her only joy."<br>
<br>
He looked down. "Saying it out loud, I feel like I've failed her. That's why I need to make sure her marriage works. I've done nothing for my sister before, and now I'm out of time."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Masako bowed her head to the princess and a relieved look passed over her face. "Thank you your highness." She said and joined her in the room and looked around for a moment.  "It just seems like... I'm not really welcome here compared to the other two delegates from Goldspar." She admitted.  "We come from different areas of the country where things are naturally different. I grew up in a clan of warrior-women that don't put much stock on just words and have a natural distrust of nobility that didn't have to earn their right to it." Masako said ruefully, being honest and opening up some.  "So I just be myself. Is that really that big a problem here?" The blonde asked, seeming really bothered by that.</div>

Then again, you haven't realized them about yourself. I've only known you one day, but I can see you are struggling against a lifetime of preconceived notions to do what's right. For your sister and your country. You are kind and as long as people don't push you, you don't push back. At the same time..."It seemed it was her night for giving advice.<br>
<br>
"You have to open up, both yourself and your country. Or the world is going to pass you by. You can't let one war mark your country forever. Loidi is doing very well, and could do your country even more damage if they were so inclined. I'm not always comfortable with magic, but I understand the necessity of it in coexistence. It's not just going to go away. The best thing you can do is prepare your country and the future of the country for its existence. Perhaps even more moderate Ritter Hex. Just tonight, if the Loidites were inclined, the Ritter Hex's behavior could have prompted another war. Over a child's game." She didn't want to reprimand him, but it was a fact, the Ritter Hex had insulted a prince of the blood of a country that had previously been at war with this one. It could not possibly be sitting well with the Loidites.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane sighed, looking down. "Well, yes, that is a problem. Anstaria is a very old-fashioned, closed kingdom. We barely even have visitors. This is a big deal to us, opening our boarders for so many people to come through. We are naturally a suspicious lot, and it is a culture shock to have so many who are so different from us running around."<br>
<br>
How could she continue and still remain political? She hadn't been there when Masako and her brother met, so she wasn't sure how much friction there was. "If you showed your lack of respect for my brother, as you've told me you feel for nobility, I can see why he'd wash his hands of you. We are a proud people, and to have a guest come in and spit in our faces is an insult that is too great to bear. As a delegate, we are obligated to try harder to understand you, but don't think that will save you. I suggest you don't sneer at my family and our position and try to understand the land you are in."<br>
<br>
***********<br>
<br>
Gavin nodded. "I will speak with both the Loidites and with my Ritter Hex. I am afraid that the normal situation of Anstaria has gone to Eloran's head. The Ritter Hex rarely have to answer to even the king. If he cannot control himself, i may have to enact an ancient law and demote him. I'd hate to have to do that after all he's done for my family in the past, but I can't risk having us go to war when peace is on the table."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Masako looked at Diane as she looked down and tried to fight back the urge to tell her to look up. But really couldn't, as if it ran counter to her nature; she reached over and laid a gentle hand on her shoulder. "You don't have to look down at the floor when you speak... you have such pretty eyes, anyone would feel honored to see them." she said.  "and you're right. It's not all that fair of me to do.  For it I apologize." Masako said.  "I don't spit in his face because of the fact he's nobility.  When I first showed up..." Masako said and explained what happened for first impressions. "As shallow as it sounds it feels like women are supposed to be..covered from head to toe with as little seen as possible.  That just makes no sense, I tried to walk in a dress and tripped 3 times, I'm glad nobody saw me fall on my face." she chuckled.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"I'm afraid your Ritter Hex will not like having their power diminished." leaning back, she thought of everything that had occurred in a matter of hours. "I will be honest with you, Gavin. When I came here, it was to stories of a enfeebled kingdom under the control of a magic backward Ritter Hex. I didn't expect to respect or even like you." She chuckled as she lifted up the riding crop she almost always had on her right hand. "This isn't just a tool for horses. I expected everything from rape to being ignored." It was likely hurtful what she was saying, but in her own way HonorÃ¨ was as blunt as Lady Masako. Her own clan was not one of Amazons, but they had respect for talents beyond the field of battle.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"It sounds like you pushed my brother and he pushed back. You feel unwelcomed, but how welcomed should you feel if you come in and start off flaunting our rules in our faces. Everyone else tried to conform, or at least respect our traditions. Despite their use of magic, the Loidites have backed down and are willing to play the tradions while in Anstaria."<br>
<br>
She stood up. "Have a seat, Baroness. I'm going to tell you a dark secret of Anstaria, something that we very rarely whisper beyond our boarders," she said. Pacing slightly, she started her tale. "After the Great Upheaval between Anstaria and Loidi, we were in a great turmoil. The magical battle had saturated our lands and many lives were lost. Back in those days, the women of Anstaria enjoyed freedoms that are now seen in only the other parts of the world.<br>
<br>
"In those days, there was a princess. The decree to go back to the most ancient of teachings, to wipe magic from our boarders, had just been spoken. She didn't like it, and was poisoned against her own people by a wizard from Loidi. This wizard convinced her to start a riot, to rally others to her cause and go against the king and queen.<br>
<br>
"The princess, the wizard and several of those who were on the princess' side were exiled from Anstaria. They formed their own little land just in the south-west, a spit of land between us and Danbar. I don't know if you've heard of it, but they called themselves Hekata. You'd like them. They are everything that we are not. Women rule there, men are subserviant. They are heathens who twisted the gods into what they want. Magic runs wild in that strip of land, and they have lost their humanity."<br>
<br>
Diane looked over at Masako. "I follow the laws of my land, even knowing that it wasn't always like this. My family has been the rulers for centuries since the Great Upheaval. We earned our place, and we've held it. We have kept Anstaria safe from the Loidites in the north and the Hakatas in the south. You may not agree with our traditions, or that my brother has a right to rule, but it has served us well. There have been no more riots or uprisings since then, and that means a safe kingdom."<br>
<br>
****************<br>
<br>
GAvin looked at the riding crop. "I suppose we deserve the rumors. We have not been a very friendly kingdom. We've had our problems and tought to close our boarders. The less we interacted, the more the stories grew." He gave her a small smile. "If its any consolataion, I never thought I'd enjoy the company of a strong, intelligent woman."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"But why. Refusing entrance to the Loidites, I understand, but why the rest of the world? From what I understand from my grandmother, people here did not used to be so closed minded. I've even heard tales of women holding equal power with men. But due to the lack of information, often it's just dismissed as a fairy tale." She brought up her riding crop, putting the tip of it just under Gavin's chin.<br>
<br>
"Just because the knowledge of wisdom is different, makes it no less valuable. I could show you things that would turn your knees to jelly and your brain to mush. I am a woman of slightly above average intelligence, but I use everything I have to get what I want." She smiled, using the tip of the crop to bring his face closer. "But I'd far prefer an equal who compliments me rather than a subordinate or a superior. Inside the bedroom however, well...we shall see...." And with that said, she leaned forward and kissed him again, the riding crop still at his throat, the soft hide pressed against his skin even while her lips pressed to his, her tongue slipping out to wedge between his in an open invitation of an earlier continuation of the courtship game.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"I see..." She said, thinking about what she'd just learned about Anstaria. "Love can make people do stupid things sometimes your highness." Masako said.  "Not to be insulting but has anyone thought that that might be the case?  The princess may not have been "poisoned" as you describe it but simply chose love over what had to seem at the time to be an oppressive regime?" she asked.  "And they might say the same about you Lady Diane." She pointed out.  "but I suppose that's not important." she chuckled.<br>
<br>
  "To be honest princess, the only thing I really want from your brother right now is some form of acceptance for who I am, I won't let him try to cram me into the stereotype of women Anstaria has. Is that so much to really ask?" she said "I'm wiling to make some adjustments for taste adn all but I simply don't understand the necessity of having to constantly "cover up' other than for warmth.  How acceptable is this outfit I have right now by your cultural standards?" she asked, lifting her arms to display it.  It looked more rough and casual and for exploring or doing stuff outdoors.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin moaned low, his hand coming up to cup Honore behind the head and pulling her closer to him. His lips parted, taking her tongue in his mouth as he returned the favor. The subtle touch of the leather crop against his skin made his heart race. He had no idea how he'd be able to sleep tonight without her. She was driving him crazy.<br>
<br>
Pulling back, he mumured, "I know you deserve more then a tumble in the hay, but I am finding it hard to control myself around you. Every fiber in my being is on fire for you. If I don't stop now, I fear I will do you a diservice and never stop." He gulped, trying to keep his emotions under control. His desire for her was so great.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane frowned. "I doubt what happened could be construed as love. Love would be just running away, not trying to overtake the kingdom and inciting a revolt in the wake of a war. That isn't love, that's the opposite of it." She went to her wardrobe and pulled out a dress. "Here, try wearing this one. Attempting to understand our people would be a step in the right direction. Sneering at our way of life and demanding that we respect you based solely on you not even respecting us is wrong. Make amends with my brother and you'll see a difference."<br>
<br>
She tossed the dress at Masako's feet. "If we had gone to your land, my brother would have had to bit his tongue, but he would also have followed your traditions. Do us the courtesy of acting like the delegate you claim to be." She didn't appreciate that the bloodiest part of her country's history was demeaned down to a simple lover's spat. She lived with the consequences of those wars every day of her life. If she could do it for a lifetime, then one delegate could humble herself for a few hours a day.<br>
<br>
"The other female delegates managed," she added. "They still show more skin then is proper here, and yet, manage to still adopt a healthy respect for our land while in public. I don't care if you strip naked behind closed doors and call us uncultured, inbred baffoons, but in public it is best to attempt to get along with your hosts."<br>
<br>
Despite it being her room, she stormed out and walked briskly down the hall. She had no destination in mind, just as long as it was away for awhile. <br>
<br>
**************<br>
<br>
Gavin gave a low moan before pulling Honore to him. He savagely kissed her, like a drowning man. With her, he didn't feel like the proper prince, but a man. When she mentioned being in his bed, all he could do was picture her naked, laying on the fur cape she had presented him. She was the most bewitching woman he had ever met.<br>
<br>
"You test my patience," he murmured against her lips. "Everything about you ensnares me. Should I worry that you've done this so well, so easily? Or should I just assume that it was all a coincidence?" In truth, he didn't think he minded if she set out on this goal. She had been expecting to meet his father, not him. Gavin had imagined that he'd be away during the peace talks, until his father fell ill.<br>
<br>
"I think you are a dangerous woman," he said with a smile. "Perhaps I should keep you away from my innocent sister. The gods only know what you'd teach her. Then, I'd have to worry about two women twirling me around their little fingers. I already deny my sister little, and I doubt I'd deny you anything. I'd be at your mercy."<br>
<br>
He picked Honore up and placed her on his lap as he kissed her neckline. "I can think of nothing sweeter then you, my lady."</div>

It was like an ice bucket to talk of such things, when passionate blood was boiling. As his fingers moved up, she thought again of what her own sister would say. <br>
<br>
"But we can not do this. It would bring dishonor to both of us." She had her secret passions, but they were done in such a way that she was beyond reproach. In fact, this was the first time that she could recall a man being this close to being in her bed. "I have my good name to protect as well as my position as delegate..." she actually sounded regretful, and in a way she was. After all, it was rare to find any time for herself. But even as she said the words, her finger nails were skimming around the edge of his throat, dancing along the skin revealed by his collar, teasing him lightly with what else those nails could do.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"I still desire to unguent. I will come to you early in the morning, if you desire," Gavin said. "I tend to rise early in the morning and have breakfast here in the gardens. If you are up that early, I'd love for you to join me." The mornings were normally his alone time. Diane ate in her rooms, prefering to be alone.<br>
<br>
They barely made it to the door to the women's quarters when Diane came walking out. She nearly collided with her brother and Honore. Stopping, she looked at them, surprised.<br>
<br>
"Diane, why are you wandering around after dark," Gavin asked.<br>
<br>
"I was just getting some fresh air," Diane said, not wanting to let her brother know she just had a run in with the baroness. If Masako was ever going to be seen in favor with Gavin, it wouldn't do to tattle on her just yet.<br>
<br>
"It's late, Diane. You should be going to bed. You," Gavin said, looking her over, "are in your nightgown."<br>
<br>
Diane looked down and sighed. "I forgot about that."<br>
<br>
"Something bothering you?" <br>
<br>
"Nothing much," diane said. She got a good look at her brother, pointing to the braid. "What is that?"<br>
<br>
"Nothing," Gavin said, looking at Honore. He had promised to keep it a secret, for now. "Honore...I mean the comtess and I were talking about traditions, that's all."<br>
<br>
Diane smiled. "Well, I'd love to talk to the Comtess more about traditions tomorrow." She turned to the comtess. "We are still on for lunch tomorrow?"<br>
<br>
Before Honore could answer, Gavin said, "No, you're not. You're having lunch with Lord Martinez tomorrow, Diane."<br>
<br>
"When were you planning on telling me?"<br>
<br>
"Tomorrow."<br>
<br>
Diane sighed. "Can I at least go get a book from the library? Please?"<br>
<br>
Gavin looked uncomfortable. He didn't want to seem cruel to his sister in front of Honore, but she was in her nightgown! "I'll go get you a book. Please take the comtess to her rooms for me."</div>

She hated to disappoint the girl, but she thought her discussion with Gavin had gotten fairly well along in terms of his views on women. Smiling, she laid a hand on Gavin's arm. "Thank you, your highness. It was a most enlightening discussion. I look forward to continuing it." And with that, she moved away to hook arms with the princess.<br>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Deston put his hood over his head hoping the guards would mistake him for his elder brother. Moving down the halls he made his way past the library, taking a quick look in the library for a book on the history of Anstaria. Finding one, he went back to roaming the halls, he made his way into the women's quarters attempting to steer clear of the men's. He saw the figures in the distance in the hall speaking. Deciding it would be safe from the Ritter Hex if he approached them he did.<br>
<br>
He bowed to the group, pulling down his hood down as he did so. He came up a grin upon his face, "How are you this fine eve, ladies; Prince?" He looked at the group. The prince and Lady Honere he figured where out for a walk this night, seeing how they were acting at dinner. Diane he smiled to while he noticed she stood in her night gown, he wondered if she knew about her marriage yet.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin smiled. "I'm sure my sister will have time after lunch to spend with you, Comtess Honore," he said. "You two can spend that time with whatever girl talk you wish. Or, whatever girls do."<br>
<br>
"Braiding each other's hair," diane said.<br>
<br>
"You'd best not," Gavin said.<br>
<br>
Just then, Deston approached them. Gavin was surprised to see the young man. Immedietly, he pushed Diane more into the women's quartes. "go to bed," he said, sternly. Turning to Deston, he said, "Your highness, what brings you so close to the women's quarters? Are you lost? Here, let me escort you back to your rooms." He was angry that a foreign man had seen his sister in such a state of undress. It was embarassing for him to see her like that, but to have a stranger...Unthinkable! Hopefully, Lord Martinez would keep her from running around in her nightgown once she was married.</div>

But she let Gavin push them both into the women's quarters with a whispered smirk. "I hope he doesn't think that a woman won't wear less in bed...that could lead to problems with his future wife..." she chuckled, but let Diane lead the way. After all, she had not seen their quarters yet.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin paled for a moment, before turning a brilliant shade of red. Grabbing Destan by the arm, he yanked the prince toward the men's chambers. "I don't want to know how you found out," he snapped as he roughly pulled the Loidite princeling along. "If it was magic, I don't want to know or I'll have to have you executed. If it was good, old-fashioned eavesdropping, don't tell me. I may be tempted to still have you executed. As it is, I am very tempted to toss you into the deepest dungeon until you learn when and where to mention men's business around women!"<br>
<br>
Once they reached the men's quarters, Gavin marched Destan through the halls, coming up on where Tansen and Eloran were standing. "I believe you lost something," he snarled, pushing the princeling forward. "And, I'm sure you'd love to talk to him about what secrets are. I now know what you know, Prince Tansen, so that little card has been played. Go back to your rooms, both of you, and just call it a night."<br>
<br>
He turned to leave, before turning back, "And furthermore, Prince Destan, I would advise you to not go running about the women's quarters at night. If I catch you looking at my sister again while she is unclothed, I will cut out your eyes!" With that, he stalked away, heading to his chambers.<br>
<br>
**********<br>
<br>
Back in the woman's quarters, Diane and Honore made their way back to their rooms. Hearing the last words of Destan rang in Diane's mind. Did that mean she was already betrothed, and to whom? Well, the Loidite prince wouldn't congradulate her unless it was to Tansen. Right?</div>

Why had his brother even allowed him along on this trip. She was seriously questioning the wisdom of this trip.<br>
<br>
"I suppose the cat's out of the bag, your highness. But at least it's Martinez and not the Loidite prince." She grinned, trying to soften the blow. "I believe I won our little bet..." But the question was, what prize would she take.<br>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane looked over at Honore. "Lord Martinez? But, with the younger prince congradulating me, I was sure it was his brother." She sighed, "I guess I am the last to know. I was always so certain that I'd be told before everyone else." She forced a smile on her face. "Well, I guess you do win our little wager. You'll have to let me know when and what you wish to collect."<br>
<br>
She walked Honore to the comtesses' rooms. Once upon a time, they had been Diane's mother's rooms before her death. It showed how much the prince thought of the comtesses to give them these chambers. "I hope you'll find your rooms to your liking," she said. "There really is no better in all the palace."<br>
<br>
Looking down, she added, "Would you mind if I stayed a while. I had a little spat with the baroness and left her in my rooms. I don't know if she's left yet, and don't wish to walk back in if not. It was childish of me to storm out, but I don't think my ego can take the blow if she's waiting."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Deston let himself be dragged by the prince till he saw where he was taking him, "Um... good Prince there is no need to drag my brother into this. Or that Ritter Hex for the matter." He was not strong at all and his protests did little to stop Gavin. As they pulled up to the other two standing there, the prince yelling the whole time, Deston reddened around the cheeks though his face grew ghastly pale. "Oh uh hey there Tansen." He spoke while scratching the back of his neck. He recognized the Ritter Hex as the one who had him expelled to his room, and his entire face went very white.<br>
<br>
Tansen looked at the Prince confused a moment then understood it all very quickly. He shot his brother a dark look before looking at Gavin. Shouting out he asked though he knew it helpless, "Your highness! I must ask you to let me go to the Lord Martinez for the night! Me and him were to be speaking some moments from now. I have no clue what my foul brother has done now but..." It was to late. The prince was gone.<br>
<br>
Deston put up his hood quickly hiding his face from the Ritter Hex. Tansen grabbed him by the arm roughly whispering into his ear "What the hell has gotten into you. Looking at the princess barely clothed?! Sneaking out of your room, to go to the women's quarters?! Telling him our secret!? If we survive the night I'll be sure to have father put you through the rack."<br>

All Deston could do was mumble back, "I thought you had already told him..."</div>

And true to her word, once they entered, Valere had gone off somewhere or was already asleep. "If you don't mind, your highness. I'm going to dress for bed myself." Instead of waking any of the slaves to help her; she thought the sight of them in their private clothing might startle the girl, she decided to use Diane's help.<br>
<br>
"Would you unloosen my stays?" she asked politely, and once they'd been loosened, she removed the coat from atop her dress, and let the rest of it fall to the ground, revealing all of HonorÃ¨ in her natal glory other than a pair of stockings and garter. She was not even wearing a shift beneath. If Diane demonstrated any shock, she'd explain. "Goldspar is colder than here. I am too warm around here. Since I have no intention of letting anyone but a husband of mine see what is beneath it, I see no harm. " A grin of conspiracy. "But let's not mention that to your brother, shall we?"</div>

Piece of shit hospitality if you ask me. Be nice you Anastartians bent a little bit for peace ya know." He started shuffling moving towards his room.<br>
<br>
Deston looked up a twinkle and a grin in his eyes saying before saying, "You said may? Oh hell yes. May means I have a choice. We'll thanks for your offer but I think I'll be going now." Deston with a hoot and a holler took of down the hall before he let the Ritter Hex protests. He quickly made turn after turn, knowing that the Ritter would never be able to match him for speed in his armor.<br>
<br>
Tansen looked back as his brother took of down the hill shaking his head mumbling, "That kid's gonna get us killed." Deciding at that his brother could take care of his self he continued moving in the opposite direction towards his room. He gave a silent prayer for his little brother hoping they wouldn't be to hard on him if he was caught.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">The scene has stirred up a bit of commotion, bored nearby Ritter Hex's have come to see what's going on.  Eloran makes a hand gesture in Deston's direction and two guys tackle him before he moves three feet.<br>
<br>
"If you don't want to come, lad, you may go to bed.  This time with a special nanny who will watch you while you sleep, make sure you don't cut out of those servants passages.  Mauler, would you like to be Prince Deston's special friend?"<br>
<br>
Mauler nods, one of the men who grabbed the young prince.  He's a big ugly motherfucker, that being one of the least crude ways ever to describe the man, who sported a face like a slab of granite.  His grin cracks his horrific craggy visage, big teeth gleam from the wartorn mans face.  "An honor, sir."  He laughs like a landslide.<br>
<br>
"Mauler is delightful company.  He has a wide knowledge of childrens bedtime stories and lullabyes." the white knight looks deadly serious.<br>
<br>
"Squire!" Eloran roars, "make some sandwiches and bring them to my study."  He looks to Tansen.  "What do you want on your sandwich.  And what are you drinking, for that matter.  Whenever I'm in Loidi I prefer Agonnazzar's Red, you had that one?  Got a whole crate from some cultists."</div>

A wide smile on his face though the man could obviously crush the small young lad. Tansen shook his head at Deston though when Eloran spoke of being in Lodi Tansen nearly struck the man.<br>
<br>
He looked at the Ritter Hex hatred still in his eyes, "I don't eat things the enemy makes." As far as Tansen was concerned the Ritter Hex always have been and always will be the enemy of Lodi, no matter how friendly the two nations were with themselves. "And I believe I was ordered to my room. I have a strange feeling that my room is not your study so if you would be so kind as to lead me there I think we will be done." Every nerve in his body twitched as he wanted to pummel the man in front of him. Flashes of the war coming back that seemed as if they had just happened. His fingers grew twitchy as the magic so familiarly came to his tongue.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane averted her eyes. "No, of course not," she said, finding the floor very interesting. "I would have no reason to mention your attire to my brother." Not that she didn't think Gavin could figure it out on his own. Keeping her eyes down, she said, "Do you sleep naked as well? I heard that many kingdoms outside of Anstaria do that."<br>
<br>
She had tried that once, sleeping without her nightgown. Her maid had tattled to her father and she had been punished. She stated she had gotten hot in the night and did it to cool off, but it was still scandalous. The idea that it was normal elsewhere intrigued her and terrified her. What if her husband slept in the nude?<br>
<br>
Diane herself would never have the guts to go without any of her clothing, even in private. She admired that Honore could feel so comfortable to be undressed under her clothes.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">She nodded, as she padded over to a mirror. As she inspected her body, she saw that Diane was averting her eyes. Like Misako, it was a bit much. "Gods girl, lift your eyes! The human body is nothing to be ashamed of. And yes, I do sleep in the nude. Especially in a country that's warmer than mine." Satisfied with what she saw in her body, she moved towards the girl. "Your mind is a gift that only your husband will know; and hopefully appreciate, but your body is where he will find his pleasure even before the wedding. By looking at it, knowing that it will be his. If your body knows pleasure, his will be all the greater. Any man can push himself on a whore and find release."<br>
<br>
She moved towards Diane slowly. "But if you know how to please him, he will give anything to keep you. This is how a woman barters with her husband. As long as you do not seek to cuckold him, anything can be gained. A man does not want a terrified ice maiden in his bedroom, only in public where she will ward off any attentions but him."<br>
<br>
"Do you still want me to teach you?"</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane nodded, forcing herself to look at Honore. "I have to learn everything I can to keep my husband," she said. "You told me that Lord Martinez's people can have more then one wife. Call me selfish, comtess, but I wish to keep my husband to myself for as long as I can. If he must seek other brides, I want it to be because of politics and not because he has tired of me."<br>
<br>
Her fingers played with her nightgown. "I know he expects a virgin when he beds me, and I will be one for him. However, I don't want to be embarassed by him findig himself a scullary maid because I can't hold his attention. That's what I need to learn, how to keep a man's attention."<br>
<br>
In the back of her mind, she wondered if she could learn that. Men, she felt, wanted exciting women. If she could be more like Honore, then maybe she stood a chance.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">She smiled softly, "Good girl." It was easy to be charmed by Diane's innocence. A few others had come to her like this, but they had to prove that the had the intention of staying with you. "Fine, but you have to prove you're willing to go through it. What I ask of you won't be easy for a girl as sheltered as you. As I stated earlier, you must find out what pleasures your body can bring." With that she took her hand and lifted the girls head to look directly in her eyes; still firmly holding it, she bent down and pressed her lips to Diane's. This time was no firm but gentle kiss, this time it was a kiss of claiming; making sure that at this moment at least, Diane's complete and total attention was on her. She fully intended with this kiss to leave the girl breathless and excited.</div>

Increase security, move nonlethal takedown to first reaction for any protocol breaches.  Loidites, <i>go to bed</i>!" He roars at Tansen and Deston, hatred edging back into his voice, no longer speaking whimsically.  He turns in a flash of his cape and walks off.<br>

I thought Anastarians were supposed to be smarty pants. Not big meat heads. I mean look at Mauler here. He looks like a frigging troll. Where did you find him? Some cave in the mountains?" He smiled and laughed the entire time they took him to his quarters.<br>
<br>
Once in the room Tansen quickly changed wearing only a set of loose fitting cloth pants, and he began to work off the steam, he had just recently built up, doing simple exercises such as, push-ups, sit-ups, squats and the sort. His brother sat down on his bed talking to the guards seeing just how angry he could make them.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Masako had indeed fled the princess' room after she'd gone, knowing that it probably wouldn't be a good idea to get caught in there at night.  But in the haste to slip out unnoticed, she'd left the dress where it was and was now back to wandering the corridors; thinking about what Diane had told her.  "Maybe I'm the wrong person for this job. I'm just too much like the tundra at times, frozen and unyielding about what I hold close." she muttered, leaning up against the wall next to a torch that was illuminating that area.  "Oh well, worse comes to worse I can just slip out without anyone else noticing, not like i"d be missed."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Another soft smile for the girl. She hated to think of how easy it would be toy with her. As HonorÃ¨ pulled back to study the girl, she watched with bemusement the myriad of emotions cross her face. That would be something she'd have to watch in front of her husband to be.<br>
<br>
"It is not always that good, but sometimes it can be better." With that said, she lifted her hands, cupping Diane's breasts through the thin nightgownn, rubbing the pads of her fingers over the nipples a few times as she leaned in again. "Sometimes it's like this...." And this time Diane was crushed to HonorÃ¨, one hand moving away from her breasts to cup her head in her hands and hold her to her. The other hand still moved over Diane's sensitive body parts unless she made some strong protest. She had agreed to HonorÃ¨'s training, even if she didn't know exactly what it would entail. Only when she felt like Diane couldn't take anymore would she pull back.<br>
<br>
"Now are you certain you wish this training?"</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane moaned as Honore kissed her again, her hand moving over the virgin body. Everywhere that Honore touched felt like it was on fire, sending flames licking through her body. The touch on her breasts sent a bolt of heat to the core of her body. She felt like she was burning up, but it wasn't painful.<br>
<br>
When Honore moved back again, Diane gasped for breath, clutching the comtess. Her nipples were hard and aching, poking through her nightgown as if they were begging for more. She felt wet between her legs, and when she squeezed her legs together, the contact caused shivers to ripple through her body.<br>
<br>
"Now, are you certain you wish this training?"<br>
<br>
Diane looked up at Honore, her eyes clouded by the lust she felt. "Yes," she whispered. "I can't think of anything I want more."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"Alright, You can sleep with me tonight." It was perfectly acceptable; even in this country. Women, and even men often slept in the same bed for warmth. "All of this..." at the word 'this', she reached out and tweaked Diane's nipple, twisting it slightly for a bit of pain and effect. "...needs to simmer inside you for a while." Releasing the girl's nipple, she headed into the one that was obviously not Valere. And by that, she meant the right room. Odd as it was, the twins had always shared a suite,  and Valere took the left, Honore the right.<br>
<br>
Smiling, she turned and crooked her finger. "Come along my dear, I won't bite. A small grin as she looked at the nipple she'd tweaked. "At least not yet..." if that comment didn't scare the girl off, nothing would. Training such as this was not for the faint of heart.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane took a wobbly step towards Honore. "Would my husband make me feel like this," she asked, her body still burning. There was a slight disappointment that Honore stopped. Everything in her cried out for more. She placed one hand over the breast that Honore had tweaked.<br>
<br>
She wasn't going to go back now. She not only wanted to learn how to please her husband, but she now wanted to learn everything about pleasure. That little taste had fueled a desire in her. Taking her nightgown in her hands, she said, "Maybe I should try things your way, sleep in the nude. Surely, only Anstaria is this prudish and Lord Martinez might expect me to be comfortable in my own skin."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"If you wish to please him, then yes, I'd say this might be so." True, Danbarians expected their women to remain chaste and covered in public, but a truly passionate woman could keep her man by her side. Coming back towards the princess, she knelt down slightly and lifted the garment without another word, her hands sliding along Diane's skin, the back of her arms catching the dressing gown to lift it over the girls head. As the garment was finally removed, both of the naked women were pressed together. Crushing the gown in her hand, she held Diane against her with it as she leaned down for another kiss, the entire length of their bodies pressed together as HonorÃ¨ went for another searing kiss.<br>

Taking a bit of initiative, Diane reached out and let her hands cup Honore's breasts. Just as Honore had done to her, she massaged and tweaked her nipples. "Show me everything," Diane said breathlessly. "I want to learn all you know."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">HonorÃ¨ smiled and enjoyed the sensation that the other woman's hands brought to her body. But unlike Diane, she knew how to use that to focus her intent. "That would take more time than we have. Hopefully, your husband will be kind and teach you what else you need to know, or perhaps hire another tutor. It is not unheard of." She slowly removed the girls hands from her breasts, and led her into the bedroom. The slaves had done their job and turned down the bed and were thankfully out of sight; a reward might be needed for this batch, they were becoming very efficient. <br>
<br>
Turning the girl slightly so that Diane's back was to the bed, she grasped the girl lightly but firmly around the wrists and bent her head down. This time she did not kiss her, but took one of the still perky nipples in her mouth, sucking and drawing it to a tight painful pucker before biting down on it with her teeth sharply. Enough to garner a gasp from the inexperienced girl before sucking again gently and flicking her tongue over it's peak. After teasing this nipple, she then moved to the other, repeating the motions. If her knees would not hold her, she'd gently press Diane down to the bed.</div>

"Honore," she moaned, arching up to the more experienced woman. By instinct, she parted her legs and let the woman lay between them, her hips pushing up to make contact with Honore's body.

				<div class="bbWrapper">HonorÃ¨'s body lifted so only the weight of her breasts were touching Diane, knowing that the torment would be sweet, to watch the girl writhe. With a back thought, she wondered if the prince was sleeping peacefully yet or still thinking of her. But she quickly kept her mind where her body was and slid her hands down Diane's body, molding and moving the bits of flesh as she would. But her mouth kept busy upon the young nubile woman's breasts. <br>
<br>
But her hand slid down further and further until it reached the apex of the girl's torso. Sliding it across her stomach, she used her thumb to seek out the slit hidden among the downy hair there. Once her finger had touched the clit, she lifted her head from Diane's breasts and smiled down at her. "This is the secret to a woman's pleasure, my dear." her thumb sliding across the nub with a well practiced hand. "It is Gersemi's pearl." With her thumb still rubbing the pearl, the rest of her hand slid around, and one finger slid across her moist entrance before dipping that one finger inside her slit. "And this Gersemi's gate..." Slowly, she worked her finger in and out, watching the girl and her responses.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane arched to that touch, her breathing coming in pants at the first glimmer of pleasure. "I don't know who Gersemi is," she moaned, "but by the gods, I thank her." She gripped the bedsheets, not sure of what she was supposed to do. Her body knew, pushing up to meet the slowly thrusting fingers. It was an invasion. She had never thought that anything would go down there, but she felt like this was right.<br>
<br>
In the back of the pleasure, she took note of what Honore was doing. It would only be polite to show her teacher what she learned, after all. Assuming she didn't burn alive from the flames that Honore ignited in her.<br>
<br>
"I feel," she moaned, writhing on the bed under the onslaught of new pleasure. She couldn't describe it more then that. She felt like she was going to fly apart in a wave of bliss.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"Good...now tighten your entire lower body. Tighten every muscle you have. It will sweeten the pleasure." Another finger slipped in then, pushing against the upper walls and then moving around the inside of Diane's sweet body, pressing at certain points, and playing at others. But she only did this for a few minutes.<br>
<br>
"Relax...now I want you to do to your breasts what I did to them earlier. Play with them, tease them, pinch them until you feel pleasure again..." And with that order, she moved backwards, her hands sliding away, even as she spread Diane's thighs apart, and put her own head in its place. Moving her hands inward, she pried apart the soft hair and lips of her labia, spreading them until Diane would feel like she could peer at the very inside of her body. And then she knelt. "And this is worshiping at Gersemi's temple." And with that, her lips wrapped around Gersemi's pearl and her tongue delved between her gates, sliding its length in and out of her body in a motion similar to that of her fingers, but not deep enough to allow Diane any release. Frustrating the sweet girl as much as she was able. Her hands would hold her down, not letting her body rise too much from the bed as she devoured the maiden's sweet flower and nectar, playing with her, toying with her, and allowing no release, she knew the signs to watch for, and if she saw them, she would stop.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane moaned, tightening when Hononre told her to. The jolt of pleasure increased and she gasped. When Honore told her to relax, she forced herself to do so. At Honore's command, she brought her hands up to cup her breasts. She had never known that touching them would bring such bliss. She massaged her hands over her globes, tweaking her nipples. That instant of pain and pleasure nearly took her breath away. <br>
<br>
She nearly jumped up when she felt Honore's tongue inside her sex. This was something she had never thought of. She kept her hands on her breasts, floating in the bliss. There was a gathering in her body, but Honore was keeping it at bay. Diane felt like she was a dam, and if only she could just let it all flow out.<br>
<br>
"Please," Diane moaned as she tweaked her nipples, "please Honore. I need something. I feel like it's gathering. Please, I need release."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Those were just the words that HonorÃ¨ wanted to here. Smiling to herself, she stood up while the girl seemed lost in pleasure and crawled across the bed, picking Diane up with ease, the movement probably startling her. Carrying her slightly, she pushed the girl up to the head of the bed. Reaching over to the back of the bed, she checked it; and sure enough the slaves had done as expected, and she brought up two straps of leather, and with long practice wrapped them around her wrists and tightened the belts into place, and therefore locking Diane's hands into place before she could fully realize it.<br>
<br>
By this time, Diane should have enough sense to come out of it at least slightly unless she was more sensitive than HonorÃ¨ bargained for. "This is all part of the training, sweet girl." No longer a princess, but a sweet girl, which is what HonorÃ¨ wanted her to think of herself as. "Tonight you'll sleep like this, with my hands to touch you as free as any husband, but you'll find no release. Oh yes.." She realized she'd forgotten something. With a quick, hard kiss to Diane's lips, she climbed off the bed and moved to the bottom of the bed again, finding the other straps. Splitting Diane's legs apart in a spread eagle, she strapped each leg down as well, so that she could not find release by rubbing her legs together. Satisfied with her handiwork, she climbed back into bed, bringing not the silky sheet that might have soothed Diane's ache a little; this she discarded. No, she brought the scratchy blanket that was meant for warmth. After all, the girl wasn't used to the chill of the night. Laying down beside her, she played with Diane's breasts, the globes delightful in her hands as she teased and tormented them, curious how the young girl's brain was processing all of this.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Being tied up did cool her lust a bit, but she was still aching for that denied release. Diane tested the straps while Honore tied her legs. "Is this what my husband will do," Diane asked. This was a side of Danbar that she never thought of, or was this only something that Goldspar did? She wiggled a bit as Honore played with her breasts, the scratchy blanket rubbing erotically on her senstitive skin. Everything was causing her heightened senses to go haywire.<br>
<br>
She arched the best she could to pushe herself up to Honore. It escaped her notice that all Honore called her was sweet girl, only focusing on the pleasure that the other woman was teaching her. Her mind was swimming in a sea of pleasure. She couldn't move to find her release and Honore had said she wouldn't allow it.<br>

"Please," Diane begged. "Please, I need release. I'll do what you want."</div>

It didn't bother her really and she'd soon be out like a light laying diagonally across the bed with her forearm over her eyes.  She was a quiet sleeper and didn't tend to snore or toss and turn at night; in fact she was more or less "dead to the world." Reina would remain in the hallway, sitting in a corner leaning back against the wall, with a gesture, an orb of pure darkness would form around him, blocking out all forms of light; it was the only way he found he could sleep in a place like this. But it blended in with the other shadows in the area so nobody would probably notice it til the morning.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Her voice was almost loving, but very firm as she knelt over Diane. Holding the girlâs chin with one hand she spoke. âSweet girl, this night I have asked you three times if you wished my instruction.â As she said the word three, she took three fingers and moved them from her sternum down the girlâs body, lifting the blanket as she drew them down to her pelvic region, the tip of her middle finger pushing against the nub of her âpearlâ, moving it back and forth to make sure the girl was paying attention. âThree times you replied that you did. If you are to have my instruction you will not ask for release at every new thing. Everything I do, I do for a reason.â She sighed, in truth this was the most tedious part of any training, getting over the initial hesitation and fear.<br>
<br>
âYou ask if your husband might do this, and the truth is, he might. Danbarians are known for the exotic tastes in their belongings.  And make no mistake of it, sweet girl. You will be a belonging. Your husband will own you. But you can purchase gifts of freedom with your body. Your brother also purchased an alliance with Danbar with your body. â This statement was a bit cruel, but it was a matter of fact that Diane needed to understand. âIs it any less important that you use it?  You who must live with it, than your brother who if he truly wished has to never see you again?â Not that she believed he would, but that he could. During this time, she continued to play with Dianeâs most private of regions, her nimble fingers teasing and tormenting the girl.<br>
<br>
âIf you say nay at this point, I will release you, but I will not teach you anything more. This is a thing your husband will not give you. He will simply seek another. But if you wish it, I will give you your nightgown and send you back to your room, and we will never speak of this again. You will be left forever wondering what could have been, what pleasure you could have known. Make your choice. I wish to sleep.â At those words, she removed her hands from Diane completely, letting her feel their absence. The sensitivity would remain, the blanket would still scratch, but there was no true hope of relief without HonorÃ¨âs help. That is what she needed to see and decide upon.  Once decided, she would either release Diane or she would go to sleep cradling the girl, only lightly teasing her as she tried to sleep.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Tears pricked at the corners of Diane's eyes. She had been raised to not annoy or trouble anyone, and felt as if she had just failed Honore. "I want to learn more," she said softly. "I won't ask for release again. I promise." She gripped the straps around her wrists, trying to ignore how her body ached. She hadn't known she wasn't supposed to ask for release. Now, she knew.<br>
<br>
"I will abide by your rules," Diane said. "Please, don't end our lessons. I want to learn." When Honore curled around her, Diane stayed awake, thinking about what the comtess had said. Her body was all she could call her own. She had been raised to just submit to her husband, but Honore made her see that she could hold some power. She wondered what power she could wield, and if any of it would work on Lord Martinez.<br>
<br>
A wicked thought entered her mind, and she wondered if Honore's lessons would work on any guy. She could use her wiles to help her brother with the peace treaty. She wasn't sure if she could go as far as sex, but it was tempting to think she might have something more to offer then her title.<br>
<br>
*************<br>
<br>
As the sun rose the next morning, Gavin woke in his bed. He had a very restless night with visions of Honore dancing in his head. He quickly dressed and got himself ready. Out in the gardens, a table was set up for his breakfast. He hoped Honore would join him, but he would understand if she chose to sleep in. He had last seen her with his sister, and he knew that Diane could talk anyone's ear off when she wanted to learn more about them. He hoped Diane hadn't bored Honore.<br>
<br>
Putting on the fur cape that the Comtesses had given him, he left for the gardens.</div>

Turning to her bed partner, she smiled to herself as she reached one hand over the girl's body and rubbed her hand down the soft skin to her pubis, running her hand along to the slit that hid the most precious pearl. And this is how HonorÃ¨ would wake Diane, her hands delving into private folds, fingers slick thrusting into her most secret of places even as her head bent down and took the girl's nipple in her mouth, sucking on the sensitive flesh with enough force to light another fire within. But each served their purpose. HonorÃ¨ had things to attend to,such as Diane's brother, and she had things to tell Diane first, regarding her instructions.</div>

She had promised to not ask Honore for release, and she meant to keep that promise no matter how hard it was.<br>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Lifting her head, she smiled at Diane; it was a lovely way to wake up. "Good morning, sweet girl." She brought her hand up, covered with the sweet tang of Diane's own body to the girl's lips, making her taste of herself. "Know this, and know that it is good. Never believe that it is evil." once she had gotten acknowledgment for her statement, she would continue, her fingers playing about Diane's lips, letting her do what she  would with them. <br>
<br>
"I have several instructions for you today. First, you shall wear your hair down. From my understanding, this is not untoward for a maiden. But it will make you more attractive to men. They will think of what your hair would look like spread upon their coverlets. This too gives you power. Also, think on a signale. This is a word that will have me to stop your training at any point. But using it will have me stopping completely. There will still be no release until I decide you are ready. This is the only reason I will stop the training once started. For the term of our engagement dear, you are as much mine, as you would be your husband. Also today, I want you to think about everything I have made you feel. I do mean everything. Even if it includes shame. We must know it so we can prove it false." And she leaned down, pressing her lips hard to Diane's biting the lip so that for a good portion of the day, Diane would feel the blood throbbing there and think on it all. "Is that all clear?"</div>

He stretched, muscles lightly aching from wearing his armor all day yesterday, and not having had any proper exercise.  He sat quietly for a moment, and looked at himself in a mirror.  He sniffled, looked away from the glass, and considered his outfit options.<br>
<br>
Scale mail, then, today.  He opened his large wardrobe, filled with his gear.  His scale armor was shiny black, and he donned it along with a crimson cloak, and hurried out to catch up with Gavin in the hallways.<br>
<br>
"Getting breakfast?" he asks.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane nodded, still tasting herself on her tongue. It was a musky taste, not unpleasant but different. It was a taste she wouldn't mind on her tongue again.<br>
<br>
"Wear my hair down," she repeated. "That is easy to do." In truth, she had been thinking about doing that anyway. "And you want me to think of word to stop my training? What if, something you are teaching me scares me, but I don't want my whole training? We can work through something that scares me, or hurts me. Should I come up with two words? One to stop the whole training, and one to slow down?"<br>
<br>
She could easily agree to the rest of Honore's demands. She would think about everything even without being ordered to. it would be on her mind regardless. She did have more questions, being inquisitive by nature. Even if that was frowned on, she was always brimming with questions.<br>
<br>
"What about my lunch with Lord Martinez," she asked. "How should I act around him?" He would be her husband soon. Should she be seductive or meek? What if he expected something from her? Now she was worried about disappointeing so many people.<br>
<br>
************<br>
<br>
Gavin nodded to Eloran. "Yes, breakfast in the gardens. It's a lovely day and I feel that today will be more productive." He smiled, thinking of Honore. "Oh, and I plan on seeing Father later today. You will be acting as my bodyguard today, Ritter Eloran." He wanted to keep an eye on the Ritter Hex and nip any friction in the bud.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">There, now Diane had gotten a laugh from HonorÃ¨; a genuine one. "No, sweet girl. I will not stop it permanently. Only to allow you to ready yourself or save that particular training for later. We have agreed. We will not stop the training for anything until one of us leaves here. The word is only a temporary stop. There is no need for two words." She tweaked each of the girl's nipples till they stood at painful attention.<br>
<br>
"As for Lord Martinez...I think you should act demure, but let him see you think about the things I've done to you. Like so..." she turned the full power of her gaze upon Diane, letting her see the heat and desire, that HonorÃ¨ was already thinking of things to do to the young woman. With a flutter of her lashes, it was gone. "That will fuel his desire even if he doesn't know why." Just as it likely fueled Diane's own.<br>
<br>
Sitting down, she reached over, and released Diane's arms, rubbing them slowly in circles to bring back the circulation. "One other thing, you may not touch me anymore without my permission. Like your husband, you must look to me as if I am the center of your world. You will learn what pleases me. And through that, you will learn how to look to see what will please your husband. Eventually, I will not have to tell you what pleases me, you will seek it yourself. Now go and stand at the foot of the bed" the straps at her ankles would allow this much but not more.<br>
<br>
Once Diane had done so, HonorÃ¨ reached over to a box that sat beside her bed. She did not allow Diane to see within, but locked it firmly after pulling a single long ribbon from its depths. With this, she wrapped it around Diane's waist and around each leg in such a manner as to create a V, the ribbon slipping right through the girl's nether regions and would constantly rub against her all day. "This is so you do not forget me. You may not remove it, but you may remove your leg straps, replace your nightgown upon your body and go to dress in your room. I will see you again this after noon when the ladies retire." With a firm swat to Diane's backside, she'd send her on her way.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">The Lodite princes sat in there room staring back at eh guards that held them virtual prisoners in there own room. Their blood was no longer boiling as it was last night but still they were clearly not in the mood to be discussing any sorts of peace. Many times Deston thought about making the large man in front of him set aflame. He found the idea very amusing, especially when he found they were not out of their room until discussions were to begin.<br>
<br>
Tansen punched Deston in the arm, acting much like young brothers do. "I blame you ya know?"<br>
"Me? What did I do?! Your the one that yelled at the captain of the guard!"<br>
"I wouldn't have yelled at him had someone been able to make keep a secret!" The two continued to bicker in there room, providing entertainment for themselves, and the guards that had staid there the majority of the night.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane dressed quickly and went to her room to get formally dressed. She kept her secret ribbon from the servants as she put on a dark hunter green and gold gown. Her dark red hair was kept down, brushed into silky waves and a strand of gold and pearls strung through it so that she glittered.<br>
<br>
She had breakfast in her rooms and stayed there, reading. She was nervous about her lunch with Martinez and practiced her heated looks in a mirror. She didn't want to ruin a thing. She was Honore's student, and, if she were honest, she was Honore's girl. If Martinez could make her feel half as good, she would enjoy marriage.<br>
<br>
Around the palace, breakfast was brought up to the various delegates' rooms so they could dine in private. On each plate was a welcome letter from the king, who was too sick to take charge of the meetings. There was also a note that he would like to speak the delegates in private, to welcome them to the kingdom. Though on his death bed, he was still in charge and he would act like it.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"Is it wise to consort with both siblings, sister dear."<br>
<br>
Valere watched as the princess left the quarters before removing herself from the shadows. Clad in the simplest of gowns the woman still struck an imposing figure. A smile pulled at her features as she crossed to her the comtesse, cupping the soft flesh of Honore face she stroked the skin.<br>
<br>
But her eyes hardened and the smile fled as she struck her sister.<br>
<br>
"I swear you would ruin us with your frivolous pursuits of the flesh. What if I had not finished my work?"<br>
<br>
With a shove the Comtesse sent her sister back into the bed she'd spent the night toying with the crown princess of a country that hated her. Careful measured strides had her standing over the fallen women and felt passion at the display. Leaning over the bed she touched the sides of her beautiful sister.<br>
<br>
"Don't get me wrong sister dear; but we have only just begun. You would pluck the fruit before it is ripe and all would go to waste."<br>
<br>
As she talked her body lowered itself and her slender fingers tightened upon the flesh. Her breath became heavy as the scent of sex upon her sibling drew her into a sort of madness. Lips parted and descended upon Honore with hunger, teeth nipped and bit and a most jealous and possessive of growls rumbled in the throat of Valere.<br>
<br>
"Dear sister, you are mine as I am yours. Please do not forget."<br>
<br>
The comtesse laid pressed against her sister with loving passion.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">For a moment, HonorÃ¨ was helpless as Diane had been, as she felt her sister's hand on her cheek. Her own sister's desires were strong, it was difficult to not just give into them. It hadn't been just the sweet girl that HonorÃ¨ had tormented but herself as well. But it was something she was used to by this point. As ValÃ¨re's hand struck her cheek, her head snapped back, feeling the faintest taste of blood in her mouth. But she would not bruise. This her sister knew well.<br>
<br>
"It is not frivolous, sister. I am merely securing your safety, as I always do. The prince gave us the grandest quarters, did he not? To please me. You may see my revels of flesh as something beneath you, but they serve us both well." But she got no more chance to say anything as she was shoved back on the bed, her limbs akimbo, the perfect picture of submission, inciting even her own sister to desire.<br>
<br>
"I have no intention of plucking the fruit before it is ripe." Words spoken between her and Gavin however, she kept even from her sister. It would only incite further violence. But further violence there was anyways as ValÃ¨re sought to devour her twin and HonorÃ¨ lost herself to her sister's desire.<br>
<br>
"Of course, sister..." The weighty press of her sister's body against her own gave birth to a deep ache that would remain with HonorÃ¨ through the day. Through her breakfast with Gavin, and her afternoon lessons with Diane.<br>
<br>
"But plans must be followed through. I promised the prince I would break my fast with him..." Her own voice was commanding as well. They each had their plans, and they would compliment each other. ValÃ¨re simply thought her moving too fast. She always did. In truth, HonorÃ¨ was the more physical of the two, but even in a country where her sister's kind was hated, she would protect her with her life.</div>

Smiling, he came to the table set out in the gardens. The smile slipped as he saw a note. Fearing that it was from Honore, he opened it.<br>
<br>
"Father must be feeling better," he muttered. "He is requesting that the delegates meet with him privately during the day. The Loidites have the first honor, then he wishes to speak to the Comtesses. Lord Martinez is next, which is good. He won't miss the lunch with my sister. Baroness Masako will be after him and then he wants to talk to Diane."<br>

Sitting at the table, he tapped the letter against his knee. He hoped his father wasn't pushing himself.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">HonorÃ¨ smiled as she watched her sister leave. In truth, ValÃ¨re was all she had left. It was her that had found her when she'd had her accident while riding, who had nursed her through a month of fevered dreams and helped her recover for almost a year. Who had held her when her fiancee, Lord Issex had been lost at sea on the same boat that had carried their family's fortune. But even through the loss of both of those, the two sisters had persevered and had gotten to a place of relative safety.<br>
<br>
The smile was still on her face as she allowed entrance to two of her slaves to help her dress. The braids in her hair were taken down, and brushed out, leaving the red burnished brunette waves to dance down her back. Upon her body, she was gowned in a delicate chiffon gown that looked as if it might tear from a single harsh look. In truth, a wanton angel despite being fully covered as almost any maiden of Anastaria.<br>
<br>
~~~<br>
<br>
"Your highness."<br>
<br>
She announced herself as she reached the gardens, the small container of unguent in her hand as she made a bow and waited for the directive to stand.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin motioned for Honore to stand. "Please, Comtess, join me for breakfast." The braid in his hair was still there, but it was a little frazzled. He hoped she brought the unguant to fix it. By keeping the braid, he hoped to show her that he was still serious about all that he had told her.<br>
<br>
"I hope you will enjoy breakfast," Gavin said, holding her chair out for her. "It's the best pastry and fruits in the kingdom. And the sweetest milk. Everything is fit for a queen." As she sat, he kissed her shoulder before pushing her chair in.<br>
<br>
"So, my sister didn't annoy you last night, did she? She can be such a little squaking bird when she has questions." Gavin smiled, showing that he cared despite his words.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Standing, she looked over the food and smiled in approval. Nothing that she would not be able to eat. She knew that sometimes the morning after could be the food from the night before. She knew she could not face another dish of boar. Luckily, he seemed disinclined for meat first thing in the morning. As she  was seated, she forced herself not to wince as the prince kissed the shoulder of the side that ValÃ¨re had bruised. <br>
<br>
"No, your highness." A glance around to see what guards or the like were around and in doing so, keeping the proper formalities. "She was a delight. We stayed up far too late discussing whatever struck out fancy." There was a hint of a smile then of what exactly had struck her fancy. "I think we'll become the most bosom of friends. " she picked up a bit of fruit, and placed it on her tongue, using just her lips to pull it into her mouth fully, yet slowly, letting Gavin watch and imagine. <br>
<br>
"But tell me, did you have pleasant dreams?"</div>

"I have ordered the cook to not make boar while you are here. In consideration for your mother's people. You don't have anything against deer or fowl?"<br>
<br>
He took a grape and held it out to her as she had done last night. "I'm sure you know by now that my father wishes to speak to everyone privately. He's a charming old man, who still acts like he's young. I humbly ask that you and your sister don't over excite him. He has been very ill lately."<br>
<br>
He looked down for a moment. "Before any of the delegates entered our land, my father just collapsed. His illness was so sudden. I never thought he'd ever be so frail. I'm not sure what I'd do if I lost him."</div>

Leaning across the table, she plucked the grape from his fingers with her teeth, letting him see just how delicate her touch could be. The grape was not pierced or cut as she took it in her mouth, and swallowed it whole.<br>
<br>
"Yes, of course." This, the idea of meeting the king. Of course, yet another thing ValÃ¨re kept from her. "We shall be the picture of propriety. After all, I would not want to offend your father..." Reaching across, she brushed the back of his hand with her own, seeking to display some comfort for him. <br>

"I'm sure that things will work out the way they are supposed to. No matter how little you think of yourself, I think you will make a fine king."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">(Talking with Gavin)<br>
<br>
Eloran considered the note, furrowing his brow as he thought.  "My Prince, I will serve personal guard to the King during his private meetings."  He said it with finality.  "It's a matter of my duty." he explains.<br>
<br>
(When Honore shows up)<br>
<br>
He greeted the Comtesse politely.  "Good morning, Comtesse." he said when she finally sat down, professional and unobtrusive.<br>
<br>
The Knight set to eating with furious zeal, silently stabbing and chewing.  He would have a servant get him a side of bacon afterward, he made a note to himself.  It wasn't unpleasant company, he thought.  The Comtesse seemed to have an alliance on her mind, he could tell, and that was the goal, after all.<br>
<br>
Something bugged him, though.  She was being rather to the point about it.  She had an objective, the Knight could smell it.  He'd spent too much time cutting his way through political webs of intrigue to be oblivious.  There was also the matter of her sister, Valere, who had gone to pains to make herself unremarkable, allowing Honore to take the spotlight.<br>
<br>
Shadows were never good, he thought.  He watched Gavin and Honore while they talked, trying to spot a chink in the armor of words.</div>

He took a bite of the pastry before him. "Oh, and I've scheduled a hunt for tomorrow. It should be a nice day and the vigerous activity should prove a nice diversion."<br>
<br>
Running his thumb over her hand, he said, "How is your sister? I haven't seen much of Comtess Valera. She is well?" He knew that travel could upset the delicate nature of a woman. Maybe he should send a note to his sister to visit with Valera if she was unable to come to the morning meetings.</div>

Finding there seats it seemed they were the firsts there, once they found their letter they understood why. Calling the small servant back they asked him to lead them to the king. They had no need to stay put and wait for the others, when they could be discussing things with the king. Moving along the many passages and corridors Tansen wondered why the King would wish to see them if he was so close to death. Then the fear arose in his mind that, what if the man should die while the two were talking to him. Would they get blamed for the act? He regained control of his thoughts just as they approached the door. The servant led them in and announced them. The strode in then bow to the King of the land, making sure not to come up until told to do so, as a sign of respect.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">The king was a frail, old man who could barely raise his hand anymore. Once, he had been robust, but his illness had robbed him of his facilities. He was wrapped in a pile of blankets to keep his skinny frame warm. His skeletal face managed to show some surprise as the Loidite princes were ushered into his private chambers.<br>
<br>
"Not wasting time this morning, are you," he wheezed. "You'll have to forgive me if I do not return the gesture. I haven't been myself."<br>
<br>
He motioned for them to sit on the chairs placed by his bed. "I'm glad you came. You must be Prince Tansen. Your father speaks very highly of you. I hope my son is showing you curtesy while you are in my lands," he said. He turned his head as he coughed. "Gavin is a good boy, much like yourself, Prince Tansen. And my daughter is a wonderful girl, good head on her shoulders. You'll like her, if you meet her. Gavin can be very protective of his sister, treats her like a glass baubble."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"A hunt sounds wonderful, your highness. Perhaps it will settle everyone's restless spirits." The Ritter Hex near by would have few reasons to fault her other than the fact she was a Goldspar whore, as they were likely to put it. That was something she could not help. She gave him a smile any time she saw him looking her way, to let him know she saw him, but other than that, her attention was focused solely on Gavin.<br>
<br>
"As for my sister, I would not recommend sending your sister to her. ValÃ¨re is..." she paused, trying to think of a way that would not insult her sister or his sister's capabilities. "fractious when she first gets to a new place until she gets her bearings. She does not like to travel, but she would not let me do this alone." she softened then, and looked over at Gavin with a smirk upon her lips. "She is overprotective of me. She sees me much like you see your sister. ValÃ¨re is often quiet and reserved until she warms up to people." She was still slightly annoyed that her sister hadn't mentioned anything about seeing the king. She hadn't, hadn't she? Thinking back to this morning, there may have been something, but she had not been paying attention.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">The two brothers sat in the chairs designated for them. The two were amazed to see the man in such bad shape. Through out the war it seemed the man had well able to rule his country. Now Tansen could very well see why, Gavin acted like he was the king of the land. There would be very few ruling coming from this shell of a man.<br>
<br>
"Yes, well we were not inclined to talk much at his mornings meetings." He gave his brother a look that Deston quickly understood. It was one telling the young man not to say a word about the last few moments of last night. But Deston just shrugged his elder brother off. If the topic were to come up he would speak. His brother had no real power over him while they were in Anastaria.<br>
<br>
Tansen nodded as the King spoke, "Yes your son is very... understanding. It is hard on him to see us in his land, though we are both quickly coming to an understanding of each others ways." Tansen held back a smirk, as he thought of all the things his words ment. Of course it would seem as though he only spoke good of the prince to the King.<br>
<br>
Tansen decided not to comment on the princess. This had turned out to be a touchy subject and he was unsure what to say. He thought about his option for a moment. These talks always seemed like a miniature battle to Tansen. One must choose in which order to speak of things. Sending all your units in a dead charge at the enemy was almost never a wise decision. Before he could say anything Deston spoke up. "Congratulations on her marriage by the way." Tansen nearly jumped out of the chair as he heard his brother speak. Tansen swore he was dropped on his head as a child.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin nodded. "I know how protective siblings can be. I will make sure that Diane doesn't disturbe Valere today. Diane can be overly friendly at times, she's so eager to finally get to meet guests." He moved his thumb over the soft skin of her wrist, lightly pressing over her pulse. He hoped he could get a letter to Diane before his sister got it in her head to start bothering his guests.<br>
<br>
*********<br>
<br>
The king smiled at Deston's words. "Yes, quite a bit of luck, eh? Have you had a chance to meet with Diane? It's not the first time you've seen her, Prince Tansen. You were still young when your father and I tried to approach peace. We met on Loidi soil without the benefit of mediators. Daine and Gavin were still in swaddling clothes. I kept Gavin by my side, but you were put in charge of watching Diane. That's when I thought a marriage between our families would be usefull. Too bad your father ruined that."<br>
<br>
He placed a hand on Tansen's arm, his skin as thin as parchment paper. "WE have a second chance here. I don't think the same mistakes will be made."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Tansen shot his brother an evil look then went back to the king. He had few memories of the time the king talked about. Everything back then seemed so different. It was before everything that made him who he was. It was before the war. Tansen shook his head, as the kings leathery skin touched his, "I have no idea what you mean sir. We are here to talk peace are we not? Why do you speak of meetings from the past?" He knew the man and his father were not the best of friends so he let the fact that he insulated him slide, with little more then a grimace upon his face.<br>
<br>
Deston smiled back seeing the king take the news rather well. He had no idea why his brother was mad at him. If anyone were to know about the marriage surely it would be the king. But he to sat there wondering what it was the king was getting at, it made little sense to even him how the princes would affect the treaty now.</div>

"I appreciate the delicacy in which you've handled the situation." She felt her pulse leap slightly under his fingers. HonorÃ¨ herself had no modesty unless it was a tool to be used, but it did seem passingly strange that Gavin was being so bold right under the eye of the Ritter Hex, especially knowing how they likely felt about Goldspar. <br>
<br>
"After we finish eating, I can apply the unguent to your hair if you wish. It looks a little rough for wear." She reached up, and ran her fingers along Gavin's cheek, the fingertips sliding along the braid in his hair, it was an intimate and familiar caress. "Truly, you look most handsome with the warriors braid."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">The king smiled. "We are here to talk of peace and of a new future. You must not remember that fateful meeting. Your father and I were going to sign the betrothal papers when it all went sour." He leaned back in his bed. "It must have been a shock when Gavin approached you with the papers. Have you seen Diane?" The king sat up a bit. "You did sign the papers, didn't you?"<br>
<br>
It was starting to be obvoius that the king, as had Diane, mistook Deston's congradulations to mean Tansen. Confusion clouded the old man's face as he tried to figure out why the Prince wasn't more excited about the upcoming nuptials.<br>
<br>
*************<br>
<br>
Gavin smiled, "I will be honored if you applied the unguent. I think the braid suits me. I may never take it down." He winked at her, continuing to eat. He enjoyed looking good for her. It was such a little thing, wearing a braid. He truly felt handsome around her.</div>

With that said, she went about finishing up her breakfast. She wondered if the Ritter Hex had anything against Goldspar, or if it was just magic. After all, while Goldspar hadn't been directly involved in the war, there were mercenary troops that 'helped' sometimes in smaller battles. <br>
<br>
"Have you ever tried Goldspar windfin? It's delicious, the animals are as large as small ponies and leap across the waves in clusters but their meat is tender and almost falls off the bone with a minimum of cooking."

Perhaps we should go now. I believe the breakfast meeting will begin soon. Was there someone you for me to send up?" Tansen stood up and his brother followed right behind him.

"I would also like to request that you have dinner with me in my private chambers tonight. It's an invitation, you do have the right to say no if you wish to."

				<div class="bbWrapper">"Ideally yes, but we can have a later dinner together. Maybe a snack instead. I just would like to be with you longer and I fear that these conversations would cut into my time to shower you with the attention you deserve." Gavin finished his breakfast. "I should also go see my father before we start the meetings. Everyone should still be eating. You and your sister are invited to speak to him later on."<br>
<br>
He waved a servant over to take any empty dishes away. Once the dishes were gone, he smiled at Honore. Breakfast was a good excuse to see her, and he wanted to spend more time with her. However, duty was calling and he had to prepare his father for when the others saw him. He couldn't let his father find out about Diane's engagement just yet.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">She nibbled on her lip, letting him see uncertainty before she lifted up her eyes to his sight, let him see the promise of pleasure that she held within them. "As much as I would like to, I don't think that it would be proper. I don't want to taint the meetings if anyone should see anything untoward." Not a rejection once again, but enough to fan the flame of desire for the prince. She wanted to see him, but it was not proper. And she cared about propriety, like a good woman would.<br>
<br>
"However there is one promise I would keep." She first cleaned her fingers of food by rinsing them in a bowl set aside for that purpose and then wiping them on a small towel. And then smiling at Gavin, she reached into the small pouch at her side, and dipping her fingers within, they came out covered in a small purple powder. It seemed dry enough. But as she reached towards him, her deft fingers quickly untangled his hair, heedless of the watching Ritter Hex; if Gavin's words were true she would have to get used to them, now wouldn't she? With her back to the Ritter Hex, she straightened and re-plaited his hair, her body pressed fast against his side, so that his hip and arm would feel every soft curve of her front side, from her firm but soft breasts, down the curve of her torso, with the back of his hand pressed to the juncture off her thighs.</div>

With his hand at the juncture of her legs, he gently pushed up, just a small movement that would be covered by her body. A promise of his devotion to her, of his lust.<br>
<br>
"I hope you at least continue to have breakfast with me," he said. "I would enjoy your company for as long as you are here." He smiled down at her, letting her fix his hair. "Once these talks are over, I will make you my wife. I don't care about your status, you will be a princess - a queen," he whispered softly.</div>

Her voice was low and for his ears only, the slight impropriety meant to inflame him like much of what she'd done this morning. "And after I am your wife, then my nights too." letting the promise linger on her lips, the final bit of the braid hanging beside his chin.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Masako would be up early that morning only to face a semi-frantic search for something at least half-way decent to wear but only had the black leather outfit she'd arrived in and the other dress.  Other than that she had a chain shirt and metallic bracers and Leather greaves for riding along with more casual clothing.  "This probably won't due that well." she said and thought about it for a few moments, considering just what might be appropriate to wear as she didn't have that much time to decide in the end.  She'd get up and strip off her clothing and bandage up her chest to make it look a bit smaller, though it couldn't do much.  "I'm probably going to regret this a bit later, I just hope I don't get caught." she said and began to cast a spell, an arcana symbol forming on the floor as she did and began to glow a soft purple color as she put the clothing into it, except the armor.  Masako was using a bit of fabrication magic she'd picked up to help make clothing on the fly when she needed to, useful when you didn't have time to make a new coat in the dead of winter.<br>
<br>
In a few moments she'd transmute it all together into an outfit that should last for at least 24 hours.  She'd come out of her room in a few moments with the leather corseted dress with the area that covered her legs to  fit a bit closer to her legs and still allowed for easy movement, at least without tripping and the deep-v in the leather dress covered by the red satin of the other dress, her arms covered by the sleeves of the red dress cuffed into the silvery bracers that bore a sword enfolded in bat wing emblem of her family on them.  Masako would braid her hair into the thick braid and exited the room to go meet the others, walking with grace and dignity instead of the naughty strut she had the previous day.  <br>
<br>
"Hello good sir, can you tell me where everyone is meeting this morning?" she asked one of the Ritter Hex politely. "And Please carry my compliments to Lord Eloran, I was quite impressed with him yesterday."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Breakfast was a somber affair in the chambers of the Danbari Deligation. Silence reigned through the rooms, servants breaking thier fast out of the Lord's sight, filling themselves with what meager gruel was to be found for the slaves and servants in the Anastarian larder, while the Lord pecked at the fruit brought in. He ate only with his right hand, his left holding down the pages of the tome he had liberated the previous night. The letters seemed to have his full attentions, line after line passing under his fingers. Every few moments he would flip a page, scanning through it once more. It took a solid hour, before his hand reached for another piece of fruit, only to find the platter empty, only the note he had read earlier remaining.<br>
<br>
With a groan, he stood up, his joints popping loudly as his body stretched out. The tome he was reading was shut, left on the small table where he had ate. Without a word he crossed over towards his chests, two of his retinue peeling away from thier meals to attend to him. He closed his eyes as his people fitted him. The only sound coming from him a grunt as a sash was tied tightly. He lowered his arms slowly as the final layer was donned, turning around slowly before brushing his servants off. He crossed back towards one of his smaller chests, lifting first a fine wooden case, scrolled with a procession of warriors along the top, a simple, if well done bit of wood working. He handed it over to one of his servants, instructing the man quietly to make sure it was delivered to the Prince's chambers before noon. And with that, he swept out of his room, pausing only to take a worn, cracked, leather bound book. It was unmarked, with a curl in it showing it had been rolled up, stuffed into a scroll case or perhaps a pocket many times in its life. It was curled up in his left hand, the Lord Martinez stalking out his door, and taking a quick turn towards the women's quarters. Not to Diane's, or one of the other deligates. He was striding with purpose towards where the old woman was quartered. He was still scowling, his shoulders back, hsi steps even, measured, and quick as he marched towards her quarters.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">After finishing her breakfast, Diane thought over what she could do to occupy her morning. She had lunch with Lord Martinez, but she wasn't sure what he would really expect. She remembered that Martinez had arrived with a frail, old woman. Maybe that as his mother or something. She'd be able to help Diane. <br>
<br>
Slowly, she made her way to the old woman's rooms. She had to move slowly because the ribbon Honore places through her legs rubbed against her sensitive flesh. She had to bite back a moan if she moved the wrong way. Knocking on the old woman's door, she announced herself and waited for the door to open.<br>
<br>
************<br>
<br>
Gavin smiled, looking deep in Honore's eyes at her promises. It was a promise he couldn't wait to make good on. Still looking at Honore, he answered Eloran, "The braid is a promise for later. Don't worry about it."<br>
<br>
Coming back to himself, he moved to quickly write a note to Diane. He gave it to a servant, not wanting his sister to bother Valere. He didint' know she had already left her rooms. "Let's go see the Loidites," he said. "I would like to know when they plan on seeing Father. After them, you are scheduled, my dear Comtess." He kissed the comtess's oiled fingers and took a step away before he would be tempted to embarass her.</div>

He planned on going over certain trade routes today, something that he was sure Lord Martinez would like to be there to help hammer out. After all, any of Loidi's trades meant for Anstaria had to take a ship down to Danbar before coming into Anstaria. It would mean a whole new way of things.<br>
<br>
Sitting at the table, he pulled out the papers and waited. He was sure that this would be something he and Prince Tansen could agree on. More money in both their pockets.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Jaren slowed down, seeing a person ahead, one of the castle's women heading towards the same door that had been his destination. His pace died off quickly, slowing to a crawl as he saw the small hand reach up and rap upon the heavy frame. His fist clutched the book tighter, curling it around another inch, he stepped aside, angling behind the line of that woman's periphery, keeping as out of sight as possible in the hall. His eyes narrowed, watching as the door opened slowly...<br>
<br>
The door cracked open. With a creeking squeel a blast of hot air rushed out to greet the princess. Inside a fire roared, crackling loudly. The woman was bundled up in heavy furs still, despite the heat of the room. Not a bead of sweat appeared on her brow. She breathed raggedly, trembling as she peered out at the princess.<br>

<br>
She waited until she was allowed in. the room was so hot that Diane felt sweat start to drip down her back. She wished she didn't have to wear so many layers of clothes. Sitting at the small table, she smoothed her skirts. "I suppose I should start off with the fact I am having lunch with Lord Martinez today. I don't know if I was supposed to know or not, but my brother and he have discussed a betrothal. I wish to make a good impression on him, and I thought you might help me."</div>

He would have to wait for Martinez to come to the meeting before he could address the trades with Tansen.

				<div class="bbWrapper">Once he'd gone, HonorÃ¨ arose and wondered how to spend the rest of her morning. She had no other plans for the morning besides meeting the king; she wasn't even sure when that would be. She'd simply have to wait on a servant to come and tell her the king was ready for them, she supposed. It was the thing that HonorÃ¨ hated the most off all, bored with nothing to do. <br>
<br>
Lifting her skirts, she decided the best thing to do would be to head to the library. She wasn't sure if she could truly be a wife. let alone a queen like Gavin deserved or thought her to be. She was not given to idleness like the women of Anastaria. As she approached the library, she wasn't even sure what she'd find to read. Something to simply pass the time. As she entered though, she saw that the entire library was not as pitiful as she'd thought it might be at first. The poetry books did not interest her despite the clerk's determination to point her in that direction. Instead, she found a book on the laws of estate. This would tell her whether Gavin's marriage to her would damage him. It was not unknown for a prince to be disinherited for marrying a woman not of his class. And while HonorÃ¨ was a noble, she was not in the true high peerage, even in her country.<br>
<br>
Sitting down with the book, she began to read.</div>

"Nothing I can complain about so far." Deston was about to say something, but from the look of the mood his brother was in, he was actually worried his brother would really hit him. The two princes took there seats in the meeting room. It felt a bit weird being in there with so few people, Tansen realized.<br>
<br>
"Actually, we've already met him your highness." He chose not to go into details as of what they talked about. It was to early in the morning to fight, and keep his wits about him. Deston on the other hand, was ready for the scene but decided he'd make it in front of the others. Speaking out he just had to know how long he would have to wait for that. "Do you know when the other delegates will be here?"</div>

Deston satisfied with what was going to happen, decided he no longer needed to be at this meeting. "Well in that case, I think I shall leave then. I have no place in these talks." Getting up, he quickly left before his brother could put up some protest.<br>
<br>
Tansen sighed then turned back to Gavin. "What kind of issues is it you wish to discuss?" He was glad his brother chose not to pick the fight this time. Perhaps it was better he left after all, Tansen thought.<br>
<br>
Deston moved his way down the hall looking for the Lord Martinez's quarters. Finding he was not there, he began roaming the halls, in search. He made his way to his favorite place in the castle, the library, hoping to have a bit of luck on the issue.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"You saw him already?  You were scheduled for an hour from now!  Who let you in to see him!"  Eloran looked at them intensely for a moment, lip twitching, before he took a deep breath.  He grumbled and searched his belt pouches for his cigarrettes, lighting one and breathing out the smoke slowly, relaxing.  "I suppose it's all right, I'd know by now if you tried anything."<br>
<br>
He kissed his smoke again, and brushed some wavy black hair from his eyes.  "I've resolved not to provoke you, Prince Tansen.  I was on edge last night, and I apologize, from a host to a guest.  But you still owe me a drink."<br>
<br>
He leaned against a wall, and finished his cigarette, a strange little smile playing at his lips, while his eyes remained hard and anxious.<br>
<br>
<br>
After a moment he grumbled, and sent a nearby Ritter Hex to get two named men to serve as Gavin's silent shadow.  They will remain unobtrusive but protective should things go awry, and most important was that both were honest men that Eloran knew personally.  When they arrived, Eloran gave them the orders, and excused himself.  "Well, my Lords, it seems we are ahead of schedule, and that Comtesse Honore may be meeting with the King at any moment.  I excuse myself as I will attend to his guard for the duration of the meeting.  Prince Gavin, you will be accompanied by Ritter Hansel and Ritter Mauler in my abscense."<br>
<br>
He leaves quickly, a bit embarrassed by being caught off guard, but relieved that all had gone smoothly.  <i>Maybe things were going well</i>, he grimaced.  <i>Maybe he could relax.....<br>
</i><br>
<i>No.  Relax and things go wrong....</i></div>

"Milady, the king awaits you and your sister in his quarters."<br>
<br>
HonorÃ¨ glanced up, she hadn't expected it to be so quickly. "Yes, of course." She hadn't found what she sought yet, but handed the book to the servant. "If you would, have this taken to our rooms." After the servant had taken the book, she took her leave once more from the library and headed to the men's quarters, asking directions to the private quarters of the king's.<br>
<br>
"Your majesty?" she entered quietly as the servants at the door opened those very doors. As she stepped within sight of the man, she knelt, keeping her head bowed. "I am at your service, your majesty."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">The door opened fully. The chamber had been decorated over the night, or so it seemed. Banners had been hung from unusual spots in the chamber, over seats, over the bed, a pennant was attached to the doorway itself. They came in a wide variety of colors, greens, blues, blacks, reds, whites, emblazoned with the marks of houses both familair and strange, heraldic symbols as simple as the stag, to as complex as the ancient family emblems of houses who added with each conquest. All were marked by fine embroidery, but hardly the strangest thing this woman did. <br>
<br>
She walked, shuffling her feet back towards a long table she had someone set up in her chambers. It had only two chairs, one a ramshackle three legged stool, made from peasant hands and obviously not of the castle's normal decore. Opposite it across the short distance of the table was one of the chamber's normal chairs. The old lady shuffled around the table, taking up the stool. She lowered herself slowly, bones popping and cracking as she took her seat.<br>
<br>
The table was a mess. Before both seats were clear spots, but hte rest was littered with tubes, boxes, and curios of quite a wide variety. The old woman's hand reached out, taking up a pile of coins in her bony fingers. Strange coins, an Anastarian piece was in there, at least, but also coinage from Goldspar, Loidi, Danbar, Hekata, and locales more exotic. The woman held them up in her worn palm towards the sky, and towards the Princess.<br>
<br>
"What is your question, lady?" her voice came out as half of a whipser and a screech, ancient tongue unable to keep the dust of years out of her voice.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">The old king smiled as Honore walked in. "Well, you are a sight for sore eyes," he wheezed. "Never thought I'd see a delegate that was so pretty." He struggled to sit up and had to get help from a healer. "In my day, the delegates were all stuffy old men. It's nice to see some change." He gave a wheezing laugh and motioned for her to sit down as he was caught up in a coughing fit.<br>
<br>
*************<br>
<br>
Diane looked around the room before turning her attention on the old woman. "I want to know how to be a good wife for him. I want to know what he likes, so I can hold his attention." She would be the good wife she was raised to be, and keep Honore's lessons for private times.<br>

Gavin tapped the papers. "Just some trade agreements. I think we tried to talk about it yesterday, but tempers flared. We can approach this with a fresh mind." He smiled, trying to be friendly. "This should be easier to come to a conclusion when we are not at each other's throats."</div>

In truth, the unguent had many properties. But it was a rare thing that was not exported, not even for royalty.<br>
<br>
She knelt again instead of taking the seat, offering lifting her hands with the small packet of unguent with quiet resolve, offering no threat, only a desire to help.</div>

Deston finding no such luck decided to check if Martinez was out in the gardens then, taking a short cut through the women's quarters, he was surprised to find the man standing in the hallway, doing what appeared to be spying on a conversation. He moved as quietly as he could up to the lord, whispering, "My lord. The king wishes for me to tell you that your lunch with the princess has been canceled. Oh and the prince wishes to see you in the meeting room, as soon as possible. Their trying to work some trade things out and say they can't do it without you."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">The woman turned her hand as Diane asked, the coins clattering onto the table, scattering over a small area. Golds, silvers, coppers, emblem and face, unmarked or gouged. Her empty hand gestured for the woman to enter her room. "Close the door, lady, the chill enters."<br>
<br>
Enter or not, her hand would turn back down toward the scattered coins, her eyes studying them carefully. She did not touch them, just letting her hand hover a few inches over the coins. After a moment, one of the tubes was opened up, an old vellum scroll slid out, unrolling, the elderly woman reading it slowly, her lips moving the whole time.<br>
<br>
"A man on a forked road, the silver egg..." she mumbled slowly, looking back up towards the princess. "The farmer cracks open the silver egg, looking for the jewels inside, only to find a golden yolk." <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The Lord did not jump as the voice called out to him. He turned slowly. Dressed in a light robe of Danbari Textiles, white, with a dark blue sash around his waist which held his jeweled ceremonial dagger. Soft sandles did not make a single sound as he turned to face the Loidite prince. Traditional, simple garb at the surface, but it was well made. Golden embroidery decorated the simple outfit, the mark of Martinez's clan upon his breast, patterns around the cuffs, made of excellent cloth hand weaved by a true artisan. <br>
<br>
The lord nodded slowly toward the Loidite prince, walking slowly back down the halll, away from the chambers of his other servant, and back towards the meeting hall. Head up, shoulders back, his hands were clasped behind his back, still clutching that worn book.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">The king nodded, barely glancing over at the door when Eloran entered. "It's good that Goldspar sent women," he was saying. "It would provide some diversion for my daughter. Have you had a chance to meet Diane? Wouldn't surprise me if Gavin has her locked in the tower, he's extremely overprotective of her."<br>
<br>
He sighed. "When their mother died, I wasn't much of a father for a few years. Concentrated too much on the war with Loidi to see that my children needed me. Gavin and Diane grew close. Of course they would, they're twins. However, Gavin seems to think that Diane will break and Diane thinks the sun rises and sets on her brother's command." He grinned for a moment, "I must be boring you, all this babbling about the past." Struggling to sit up once more, he said seriously, "How well do you think these talks are going to go? I normally don't care for a woman's opinion, but I do know that the women of Goldspar are very politically savvy. You wouldn't have survived this long if you weren't. Nearly married a woman from Goldspar after my wife died, and she was the most shrewdest woman I've ever known. It didn't work out, though. Sad story, never mind."<br>
<br>
************<br>
<br>
Diane stood up and went back over to the door. She closed it without seeing Deston outside. Taking her seat again, she said, "As lovely as that little story was, I wish to know more about Lord Martinez. If I'm to be his wife, I should know how he expects me to be. I was hoping you could give me some insight in his character?"<br>
<br>
She wondered if the heat had boiled the old woman's mind. It was just too hot in that room, making Diane feel a little light-headed. She just hoped that she got her answers fast.<br>
<br>
************<br>
<br>
Gavin looked relieved. "Wonderful. It's so sad, seeing my father like that. He was such a strong man all my life. I'm sure you'd feel the same if our roles were reversed." He tapped his fingers on the table for a few moments. "It was the oddest thing," he muttered, mostly to himself. "Healthy one day, sick the next."<br>
<br>
He looked up when Martinez entered the room. "Good, you're here. Take a seat and we can begin. These are the current trade agreements between our lands. I know we tried to straighten this out yesterday, but got no where. Today, while we are fresh, let's try again. Currently, Anstaria only imports some baubles and clothes from Loidi, and I know we export certain farming machines and spiced meat."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"Yes, I've met the princess Diane. She's a lovely girl, who I believe you are correct, is a bit overprotected by her brother. But it is only due to love that he does so." She smiled, sibling love was such a sweet thing, in all the many ways it could be. HonorÃ¨ knew that her sister loved her, even if she felt like she was smothered by her most of the time. "My sister and I are twins as well, your majesty. I do understand that closeness. It is not babbling. When a man is sick, he often thinks about the future and the past." she spoke true words, ones that her mother had once spoken to her.<br>
<br>
"As for the talks, your majesty..." she paused reflecting on the events of the previous day. "Loidi seems to enjoy antagonizing the Ritter Hex, while the Ritter Hex seems to hold an equal animosity. Danbar holds itself with the utmost of respect. Prince Gavin is doing his best to keep the peace, but the day was rift with unrest on all sides. Even Goldspar was not innocent of this. Our Lady Masako seemed to overwhelm the prince with her...charms.", she was trying to be politic, but it was hard when everyone seemed to be going out of their way to cause obvious troubles. No matter what, he was still King, and needed the truth. <br>
<br>
"My sister should be here shortly, but she often has a rough first day or so when traveling. She has studied the troubles between the countries extensively, even further back than the War, she would perhaps be better able to offer an insight. I try to look more to the future and what can be done than what has happened in the past. If you can not look beyond the past, you are doomed to repeat it."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">She had spent long hours in preparation for this solitary moment, and at last the Comtesse was ready to see the King of the Anstarians. With clothes out of character for her the Goldspar woman had dressed herself in a creamy white tunica, over which was draped a richly wine red dalmatic and even over that was a richly decorated superhumeral collar. Every bit was decorated with complex geometrical shapes, silver and pearls were weaved into the fine silk. It was a very conservative apparel that did nothing but reveal and revel in the wealth of the owner.<br>
<br>
Soft padded steps took Valere to the King's chambers and in her hands she clutched a small iron ring.<br>
<br>
When she was allowed entrance she did not cast her head about in wild glanced; but instead let her eyes dart about while facing stock forward. Her hands were clasped at waist level before her and she still held onto the ring. Over all for such an austere and colder woman then her sister Valere looked down right Imperial in her outfit. Her "sickness" from travels had faded and she was prepared to take centre stage in this grand plot of peace talks.<br>
<br>
It would only do to further her reputation to be a chief leader in the brokering of the peace.<br>
<br>
Calm measure steps had her before the King; but her eyes were upon Eloran. With a subtle look of fear and concern she looked at the man who guarded the sickly monarch. Valere felt she had to tell the Ritter something important, that could determine the course of the peace talks.</div>

At least she wasn't getting the dirty looks she was getting yesterday, even though he clothing style was magically created, she just hoped it wasn't giving off a noticeable aura the Hex would pick up on.  But while she was heading down that way she'd spot Deston hovering outside a door seeming to be listening to what was going on or something.  With faint footfalls she'd walk over and gently touch his shoulder. "Sir Deston, just what are you doing?" She asked him softly  "an dis your brother around?" she asked.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">She turned slightly as her sister entered, not a trace of her surprise showing on her face. <i>Showing off a bit much</i> was what she thought, but she'd not say something like that to her sister, or especially in front of the king. ValÃ¨re was modest enough, but HonorÃ¨ would not go so far as to say that she was austere but even HonorÃ¨ had to admire her sister more than usual. There was more of a marked contrast between them today, and she felt a bit of bitterness well up inside her chest. Would this be how she lost her sister? To the game of politics.<br>
<br>
But as the king spoke, she gave her full attention to him. "Never, your highness?" It was almost completing a puzzle that HonorÃ¨ felt just slightly out of her grasp. She looked over the Ritter Hex who was normally at Gavin's side...and wondered. Was that why he was willing to be so circumspect? Was she just a novelty? It pricked at her pride, and she wasn't sure she would continue playing the courtship game with Gavin. Grecian Love, and yet if he knew of her 'toys', he would revile her. This was going to require a great deal of thinking.<br>
<br>
"Yes, your majesty. I do believe that Gavin has many distractions. Even the Lady Masako has managed to un-nerve him."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">The woman's hand reached down, scooping up the coins into her weathered hand. It trembled as it lifted the coins, holding them up to the sky again, eyes closing as a whisper died upon her lips. Slowly she lowered the coins back down, setting them in a stack upon the table's surface. She shivered as they left her hand, the woman drawing up the heavy furs around her frame even tighter, her hands retreating into the heavy coat.<br>
<br>
"He expects what he knows of you, lady," the old woman's voice was weak and strained, barely able to reach Diane. "Practical man he is. What is weighed and measured he seeks. He knows what you have to offer. That is all he expects. Practical man though, he knows not to overlook what is before his eyes."<br>
<br>
---------------------------------------<br>
<br>
The lord nodded as he entered the chambers. He took a seat slowly, between Gavin and Tansen. Almost immediately as the topic was broached, he gestured over towards one of the servants, calling him over he said simply, "Bring me a map of the lands." He dismissed the servant with a wave of his hand to scurry off to the task.<br>
<br>
"It is hardly a simple issue, your majesties, but I am certain that we can arrange an agreement before our time is through. Indeed it will be a good first step towards peace." <br>
<br>
His elbows propped up on the edge of the table. His palms flat together, index fingers pressed to his lips. His gaze was drawn towards the middle of the table, the map wasn't there yet, but his eyes moved as though tracing routes and destinations.<br>
<br>
"The garrison issue from before will tie into these negotiations as well, if you are both willing to consider it."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Tansen nodded to Martinez, before talking, "Yes, it does seem that we could offer each other more. I believe we are willing to part with some of our more exotic herbs, and spices, for starters. Depending on what we could get in return we may even offer some of our more valuable resources." Looking over to Martinez now speaking on the topic he knew so well.<br>
<br>
"I would undoubtedly be willing to lower garrison count, if it would mean peace and prosperous trade. That is if prince Gavin also did so." His last few words said looking at Gavin. He was hoping things wouldn't get to detailed into trade. If it did so then he would have to call upon his advisers for reference. He no longer trusted either of the men, as they seemed more than willing to keep Lodi out of these trades if it ment more profit.<br>
<br>
____________________________<br>
<br>
Deston held his breath as Diane shut the door. Leaning in hoping to see anything through the cracks in the door, but sadly he could not. So he just leaned against the wall beside of it, taking in everything that he heard. He hoped he would be able to use every last bit he heard. He wished he knew who the other person was in the room. Or even what that other person said.<br>
<br>
When Masako spoke, Deston seemed to leap in the air, as his heart quickly picked up speed. "Oh jeez. Miss Masako, it's just you." Breathing a sigh of relief he replied, "I thought you were one of them damned Ritter Hex or... never mind. But me? I'm just eh... waiting for the Princes Diane to come out. I'm to lead her to the meeting room when she is done." He looked over his shoulder at the now shut door, hoping the princes didn't come out any time soon. "As for my brother the last I saw of him, he was in the meeting room with Prince Gavin, discussing trade or some such nonsense."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane sighed. The old woman didn't seem willing to give her a straight answer. Riddles, riddles and more riddles. Standing, she said, "Well, thank you for your time." She walked to the door and opened it. She was surprised to see Deston and Masako standing by the door.<br>
<br>
"What are the two of you doing here," she asked. "Did you have business here?"<br>
<br>
***********<br>
<br>
Gavin nodded. "Fewer men at the garrisons can be achieved. As long as the same number is agreed upon by Prince Tansen. An equal number would help prove that the other isn't planning an attack." He looked over the map, pointing to various key areas. "Here, here, and here will be part of the deal. If we can work out a peaceful trade agreement, then I suggest this pass here be the primary trade route."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"You must broaden your views, your highnesses," Martinez said slowly. His finger reached out across the map, pointing at first to a duchy on the border with Danbar in Anastaria, and then to a seaside province upon Loidi's shores. They were the areas through which most commerce between the two and Danbar traversed. He tapped twice on both locations before drawing his hand back towards his chin.<br>
<br>
"A new route upsets the lords of both lands there. They are, accustomed to certain practices which are the normal in business. They become rich and more powerful off the trade, becoming accustomed to a certain level of respect and wealth." He spoke with an even tone, a slow cadance that would have given him time to pick his words as he spoke.<br>
<br>
"A sudden change would, upset them. Cooler heads do not always prevail, and the spoiled child often sneaks behind the parent's back to get the treat now withheld. Thier wealth threatened, you cannot predict what will occur. It has not been unknown for desperate nobles to resort to raiding and piracy."<br>
<br>
He reached out slowly again with his right hand, tapping on the pass that Prince Gavin had pointed out. "And there, is your answer to that problem. Increase the garrison. Draw men from those provinces, limit thier ability to cause trouble. And perhaps, promise them new, lucrative practices."<br>
<br>
"Draw an equal number of men from other lands, ones not used to such practices. They will balance out the corrupt ones, with a good leader. A larger garrison keeps, opportunists at bay. Secure, quick, free from the usual, customs. You will easily get back the minor costs of growth at the garrisons."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Tansen looked at the map thoughtfully, rubbing his chin as he did so. More men at these areas would cause outbreaks of violence on both sides. He could not see what good would follow from such a plan. If they needed a garrison to stop these lords, it would inevitably bring about a civil war anyways. Letting out a sigh Tansen shook his head, "No. I do not think bringing more men to those garrisons will provide any help. If such a problem seems to be true I shall just take some of my more veteran warriors to, 'babysit', the lords in my control."<br>
<br>
He motioned to the garrisons that Martinez had just done, "These areas are to close to the border. I fear an increase would cause spontaneous outbreaks of violence on both sides. Not to mention open our inner borders, so if one of us were thinking of treachery, they would have a direct path into our countries."<br>
<br>
_______________________<br>

Deston jumped up again when Diane appeared behind him, he did not like where this was going, "Oh hello your highness. Um... yeah... well you see your eh... supposed to come with me to the meeting room." He motioned down the hall towards the meeting room. He looked back at Masako, an idea suddenly coming to his head, "Actually Miss Masako, I believe the king is seeing the delegates from Goldspar now. You may want to hurry over there. You don't want to make a bad impression by being late or not showing up at all."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin sighed, slumping back in his chair. "No, I see what Lord Martinez is talking about. If we make a new trade route, then we will be robbing the nobels who made their living on the existing trade routes. The new routes might cause the lords in that area to start taking airs on the lords who used to run the trade routes. This will cause inner turmoil among our own kingdoms. However," Gavin continued, "what if we agreed to split the trades? Keep the normal trade routes for what we already trade with Loidi, and anything new that we agree on will use the passageways. That way, we are not taking from the existing status quo, but we are still opening up to new trade?"<br>
<br>
"As for the garrisons, an open treaty should suffice. Lord Martinez advises we keep the current numbers or up them. While I do see the wisdom in that, I am worried that having so many soldiers posted near Loidi couldn't be seen as an invastion attempt. And visa-versa. We will always be trying to match and growing and that will push us over into war." He tapped his fingers on the table. "What I propose is we keep a minimal staff at the boarder garrisons, but we can man the inland garrisons as we see fit."<br>
<br>
*******<br>
<br>
Diane started to follow Deston, but stopped when she heard him tell Masako to go visit her father. "Oh, has Lord Martinez already seen Father? He had an order to when he wanted to talk to everyone. The Comtesses were the first part of Goldspar he wished to talk to, and Baroness Masako was after Lord Martinez. If he hasn't gone yet, then she would be early."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Masako simply shrugged at the question as to why she was there, having dropped into an actual respective curtesy to the princess though she loathed to bow to a woman that seemed to have no self-worth about her.  Diane's seeming acceptance of her station had labelled her a "sheep" in Masako's mind but she was wise enough not to let it show openly.  "I was just passing by when I saw sir Deston waiting here." She said and grinned. "Oh I know, but I've heard that Martinez can be a conniving windbag when he wants to be so I'm in no real rush but I'll hurry on over there if you think it's all that important." She said and turned to walk off, seeming to glide down the hallway toward the throne room or wherever it was that the King was meeting with everyone.  Reina falling in beside her, dismissing his orb of darkness he'd been napping in.<br>
<br>
"Makes you wonder why you were called in last and separate from the others from Goldspar..." he muttered.<br>
<br>
"Probably because we'd just bump heads or worse." Masako said. "Did you pick up anything?"<br>
<br>
"No, other than whispers that the Hex aren't too thrilled about what's going on. Maybe it could work to our advantage over the others. If we can buddy up to them, we'd have a good leverage..." the tiefling shrugged.<br>
<br>
"Eh maybe. but for now, try to keep track of what the other delegates are doing.." She instructed. <br>
<br>
"Sure." he said and stepped off and departed from her side to try and find a way to eavesdrop on them, but was being extremely cautious about seeming suspicious.<br>
<br>
Masako reached the meeting place in a few moments and looked around to see if she was late, early...what?</div>

I will have to say that I very much agree with Gavin on this one, what about you Lord Martinez?" Tansen was happy as long as there were not more troops at the garrisons. In his belief it was the garrison increases that was the precursors to the war.<br>
<br>
________________________________________<br>
Deston shrugged barely able to contain his laugh as Masako talked of Martinez, as he watched her head off he thought of shouting to her that Martinez had not gone yet but decided it was not worth it. Turning back to Diane he shrugged again, before speaking, "I guess she'll be a bit early then. But speaking of Martinez," He moved stopped in the middle of the hall, "your father said that you'll not be going out with him today. In fact... I think he wishes you to speak with my brother over lunch. Come on, "Deston started walking down the hall the way they had just come from motioning for her to follow, "who wants to hear about trade? What is it you do for fun around here?"</div>

A low humming came from him, his eyes moving swiftly over the map, taking in details quickly, his eyes lingered over the passes, and the provinces on either side.<br>
<br>
"Balance would need to be maintained. If these new routes are too profitable, the same situation arises again. But the premise is sound. I take it you already have your ideas upon the terms?"<br>
<br>
He leaned back slowly in his chair, his arms lowering, resting at his side, hands folded in his lap. He had a soft smile on his face as he looked to Prince Tansen, and then back to Prince Gavin. <br>
<br>
"There is just one more term, I ask you consider. Direct trade, removes the buffer your nations have had through my countryman's own lands. There was a certain safety in this. Our people are familiar with the ways of both of your lands and cultures. Customs, is something your men have limited experience with."</div>

Valere's voice was soft and muted as she carried a grave secret. Stepping closer to the Ritter Hex so she could confer in confidence she spoke to him.<br>
<br>
"Eloran, Head of the Ritter Hex, there is a plot to kill your King."<br>
<br>
Hopefully Eloran would have the composure to remain passive as the Comtesse did not want to unease the King in his sickness, it was a risk she had to take as any where else in the castle would have risked exposing her to those parties that would threaten his Lordship. It would also allow Eloran to broach the subject with his King to see what could be done.<br>
<br>
"I do not know much; but something is planned for today. Take this Ritter Hex."<br>
<br>
With those words she offered up the ring she had clutched.<br>
<br>
"My father made no deal with devils, he was as staunch in his defiance against the devil's work as you are Eloran. Take his ring, it will protect its bearer and allow them to fight with boldness and bravery against the evil of the world."</div>

It's last time being when a plot had been revealed to try and seduce the King.<br>
<br>
Handing it over to Eloran he could read that it stated simply that the King was in danger and that he should be watched intently from all harm.<br>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"An assassination?!" HonorÃ¨'s eyes rose in surprise that could not be faked as she looked to her sister. She knew better than to question her, but she worried about her sister, and the various intrigues she got herself into, even as her sister returned the favor. "Surely no one would dare..." at this phrase, her concern turned to the Ritter Hex Eloran.<br>
<br>
"What of the prince and princess. Are either of them aware?" Her concern for both of them was obvious. "Your Majesty, if I may, I'd like to remove myself and go see to the welfare of their highnesses." Yes, it was true that a Ritter Hex could be dispatched to check on them, but this was for HonorÃ¨'s own peace of mind, a concern that would show gravely on her face. She cared for both of the children of the king even in such a short time.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane sighed, watching Deston start to wander off. "I don't think it's a good idea for you to wander the women's quarters," she said. "Why don't you come with me? You said Gavin needs to see me, and it would make me feel better to have an escort." She knew that, just as women were not supposed to go into the men's quarters, men were not really supposed to wander the women's quarters. She didn't want any more people to get into trouble.<br>
<br>
**********<br>
<br>
Gavin nodded. "I already agree with you, Lord Martinez. While a direct route would be ideal, I do understand how it can create tension between those who have grown rich from the current trade and who would be elevated if we change the routes. I vote to keep the trade routes as they are for now, and maybe impliment a slow and gradual change. Having goods go through Danbar is a long and tedious journey."<br>
<br>
He barely looked to the door when he heard Masako ask to enter. He waved her in, turning back to Prince Tansen. "Does that sound like a plan? Keep the trade routes the way they are for now." Let wars be a thing for his children's children to worry about.<br>
<br>
He was about to bring up the items for trade when he heard a commotion outside. He looked up in time to see several Ritter Hex walking into the room. "What is it," Gavin asked.<br>
<br>
"It's your father," one said.<br>
<br>
************<br>
<br>
"An assassination plot," the king wheezed. "Who? How?" He tried to get up, but started to gasp for breathe. He started to shake as it became evident that he couldn't breathe. The healer rushed forward, putting medicine down his throat. There was a silence before the king's labored breathing could be heard.<br>
<br>
"He's alive, but I don't know when he'll wake up," the healer said. "This came as a shock to him. If he wakes up today, I suggest that his meetings are very short. And only if he is up for them."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"Your majesty!" HonorÃ¨ was faced with an unpleasant decision at this point, but once she made up her mind, it was done. She handed the small package of unguent to the Healer. "Here, in case he needs it again..." She had more after all, and if it could help, she'd be glad of it. She shot a small look of concern to her sister before fleeing out of the room, and running down the hallway. The only problem was, she had no idea where the prince was. Hadn't he said something about a meeting with Martinez? <br>
<br>
After what had happened last night, that seemed reasonable to her. Checking with one of the servants, she was directed to the meeting room. In front of the door, she tried to compose herself as much as possible before stepping inside. She saw the Lady Masako, the back of Lord Martinez, Prince Gavin, and the two she had not meet closely yet, the Loidite princes. Giving a glance to the Ritter Hex's she waited to hear what they would have to say before she spoke her own peace, no matter how urgently it beat within her breasts. She wasn't even sure she'd be let in by the guards, and so she simply waited, her hair tangled by the running, but managing to look composed despite it.</div>

He pointed at a nearby Ritter Hex and barked the order.  "Ritter Hansel, Ritter Mauler, please round up our guests and show them to the feast hall for some lunch."<br>
<br>
He twirled in his crimson cloak and strode back to the King's room.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"Then it is decided then. I will agree with the princes plans, on redirecting trade over time." Tansen nodded, just as the swarm of Ritter Hex stormed into the room, talking of the king. At the sight of the Ritter entering the room in a large group, Tansen's hand instinctively moved for where his blade would have been, of course it was not there. His jaw slacked a bit when they spoke of the king.<br>
<br>
His mind quickly rushed to think of what it was that could cause this. The king could be calling an emergency meeting for some reason. Or perhaps he had died from the sickness that he and his brother had seen him in moments before. He had seemed deathly ill but it would surprise him if such a thing took him so quickly.<br>
<br>
He looked opened mouthed towards Eloran, waiting for his explanation as to what was going on with the king. His eyes shifting uneasily, at the sight that his brother seemed to be nowhere in sight. He did not like it when there was trouble about and his brother seemed to be the only one missing.<br>
<br>
____________________________________________<br>
<br>
Deston sighed. He dreaded going back to the meeting room, especially after the web of lies he had laid down lately. But it seemed he had no other choice, he could not force the princess to avoid the room and it was his own lie that had gotten him into the situation. He thought for a moment, if it would be wise to come clean. He quickly shook his thought from his head, he was not out of cards yet.<br>
<br>
"If that is your wish. But I think a more suitable form of escort would be the Ritter Hex. They don't accused of much around here." He let out a half chuckle, as his heart began to pump the blood through his system. He would not know if his web of lies had crumbled yet or not until he had got there, and he hated taking chances of the sort. "So what were you planning on doing with Martinez today?" He spoke as he slowly began walking back down the halls from which he came. He was in no rush to get back to the room.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Masako entered the room just as the buzz began to spread of a possible assassination. And she definately didn't like the looks some of the Hex were levelling at her, they obviously wanted to try and blame her, for how she so flagrantly threw down most Anstarian culture.  But she had nothing at all to do with it and no reason to hurt the old man on the throne.  Nervously, she slipped closer to Tansen, feeling more at ease with the Loidite than she did the others. Discreetly she nudged the Loidite prince and glanced at him, speaking softly as to not be overheard. "Tansen, when you have a free moment, I'd like to speak with you..privately." she said quietly and very very slowly produced her supernatural charm, directing it at him to make him  more agreeable, nothing more.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane shrugged. "It was a lunch set up by my brother. Probably just a little time for us to get to know one another. After all, we are to be married." She started for the meeting room when a small band of Ritters came walking up to them. She feared that Deston had once again gotten himself into trouble when one of them grabbed her arm.<br>
<br>
"What is the meaning of this," she demanded. <br>
<br>
"Ritter Eloran has requested we find you," he said. "It's an emergancy, highness. Please come with us. The foreign prince is to go to the feast hall."<br>
<br>
She barely was able to protest when they forced her down the halls. Moving faster then she could hope to, she was fairly dragged to the meeting room. The ribbon between her legs sent mixed messages to her mind and her fear overrode any erotic sensations.<br>
<br>
ONce in the meeting room, she saw the grave looks on everyone's faces. "What is going on," she asked.<br>
<br>
Gavin pulled his sister to him. "They say that it has to do with Father, but no one is talking," he said. Fearing the worst, Diane burst into tears, clinging to her brother.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">HonorÃ¨ had moved when everyone else had, but she was perturbed by the idea. But she could at least see that Gavin and Diane were fine, which relieved her mind somewhat. She reached up, brushing her own soft curls behind her ears as she stood proudly erect. At the moment, not even her sister could have comforted her. In her outburst to the king, she realized things were not going the way she had planned. So for now, she simply kept her distance from everyone, her eyes moving around the room, wondering who had set this up, dismissing each person as her eyes rested on them and assessed the situation. This was what she'd trained for and it frustrated her, both that she couldn't comfort Gavin and Diane as well as the fact that it had been her sister who had caught this tidbit. She'd never live that down.<br>
<br>
But for the moment, she remained silent. She hadn't been acknowledged yet, and of course, she'd told Gavin not to mention their agreement, so she had no position to go to him and comfort the other twins like she wanted to.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Martinez turned slowly in his chair as the Knights, and their charges, entered the room. He kept to his seat, leaning against the back of the chair, his hands still folded in his lap. His ceremonial dagger remained at his side, never a muscle moving towards the elaborately inlaid blade, despite Tansen's move towards his missing weapon. His eyes shifted over towards the Knight who brought the message, as limited as it was. His right eyebrow raised slowly as he looked at the man, keeping his eyes upon the Ritter Hex up until the moment the Anastarian Princess entered the room. His eyes locked onto a tear, following it down her face as she embraced her brother.<br>
<br>
"By the Nine Fates, speak your piece and let them find their peace!" the lord snapped out loudly at the knight who had prompted it all. He never rose from his position, but his voice was projected loudly and harshly at the Ritter Hex who only spouted off three words.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin kissed one tear-stained cheek before he gently pushed Diane toward Lord Martinez. "If you would kindly take her back to her room," he said. "I think she needs to rest." He turned from them, walking to the door. He stopped by Honore, emotions warring on his face. He wanted to hold her, to find comfort in her arms, but he knew it wouldn't be proper. Their secret was tearing him apart.<br>
<br>
Instead, he took her hands and kissed her fingers. "Pardon me, my lady. I must go to my father," he said. He gave her a slight squeeze before he left, rushing to his father's chambers.<br>
<br>
Diane, still sobbing, barely managed to choke out, "Please, I don't think I want to be alone." Her shoulders shook as she cried. No one had told her that her father was still alive.</div>

Turning, she looked at Diane and heard her words. Propriety be damned!, she thought, marching over to Diane and wrapping her arms around her comfortingly. Luckily, for women it wasn't as improper to be seen as affectionate in public. She hadn't heard Gavin's comment to Lord Martinez, <br>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"Of course, my dear..." her voice turned to a whisper then. "...sweet  girl." Hoping that the term of endearment would help sooth her. Grief could do many things, and that vulnerability was part of it all. One arm wrapped around the princess, she moved past the Ritter Hex with a glare that could sharpen daggers. And they'd worried she would have told everyone? By saying things they way they had, everyone was jumping to the wrong conclusions. But it was still not her place to contradict them.<br>
<br>
"Go heat water for a warm bath", she ordered one of the servants. While HonorÃ¨ may not have been in charge here, there was something commanding about her presence, and she did seem in charge of the princess at the moment. She waited until they were away from the room, and on the way to hers before speaking. "Don't be upset, sweet girl. Your father is very ill, but he is not dead... Please..." she tilted Diane's head up, and brushed away her tears with the pads of her thumbs.<br>
<br>
"It'll be alright. I'm here and I have no intention of going away any time soon.." a hint perhaps of things to come, but nothing that she could say out loud to anyone else.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"He had a fit and is resting, but he's fine." she confirmed. "That was what I was on my way to tell his highness and you before the Ritter Hex busted in and got everyone upset." She sighed, and looked down at Diane, waiting until the order was given, and the servants dismissed before she replied.<br>
<br>
"Yes, sweet girl...", her voice purred as she stepped forward, tilting the girls head up before capturing it in a powerful kiss. "I'll stay, because I don't trust your emotional stability right now. I'm here, and your my sweet girl. Isn't that right?" There was an odd play in her words that would coax a hopefully positive response from Diane. <br>
<br>
She grinned, just a little wickedly. "I shall even play your chambermaid..." as the last servant left and she helped Diane to stand. There was comfort in this game she played with Diane. It was familiar. Once the girl was standing, she moved around her back, slowly unbuttoning the dress until her back was bare. Her hands against the girls shoulder, she slid the dress off of the girl until both the dress and the shift beneath pooled at her feet, the only thing remaining the thin looped blue ribbon betwixt her thighs. HonorÃ¨ leaned forward then and brushed the princess' hair aside, placing soft kisses along her shoulder as her hands moved along the royal girl's waist and hips, eventually resting next to the ribbon where it wrapped around her waist.<br>
<br>
"I think we can remove this for the moment." And with that, she tugged on the ribbon, pulling it backwards, so it slid along every crevice of Diane's body. Her intent was training, but also to distract Diane from her worries. Hopefully, it was working.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane stood submissively while Honore undressed her. When the ribbon was removed, she gave a gasp as it slid against her clit and wet slit. She stepped into the bathwater and sat in the tub. "Thank you for staying, Comtess," Diane said. "I don't think I could bear it if I were alone now." she turned in the tube she could face Honore. She smiled slightly, washing off the tear stains. "I like it when you call me sweet girl. It makes me feel wanted." No one, not even her father or brother, ever called her anything but her name or princess.<br>
<br>
She reached for the wash clothe and soaps. Though Honore had said she'd play the part of chambermaid, she wouldn't force her friend to do so. Looking down, she said, "I haven't thought much of the words you asked me to come up with. I hope you don't mind if I haven't figured them out just yet."</div>

Yet, at the same time, it felt so good. She closed her eyes as Honore's hand slid down her body to cup her sex.<br>
<br>
she spread her legs as far as the tub allowed. In a slightly shaky voice she said, "I will listen to you. I want to keep you happy." It was all she ever knew, keeping others happy. Selfishly, she enjoyed it when she made others happy. Sometimes, their happiness paid off for her. <br>
<br>
She arched slightly in the tub, her nipples just poking out of the water. She knew better then to beg Honore for the sensations her touch caused, but she couldn't stop her body from reacting.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">HonorÃ¨ gave a small chuckle, she was very responsive. This was good. She continued rubbing for a few more minutes before she stood up, leaving the girl aching and walked over to the door. Opening it, she spied one of the servants. "Her highness has changed her mind. She does not wish to be disturbed for any reason." One of the maids bobbed a curtsy and HonorÃ¨ shut and locked the door. <br>
<br>
"Now, sweet girl...we won't be disturbed..." She sat back down, and picked up the cloth again, rubbing it along Diane's body with practiced ease. Her hand went back to where it was, rubbing against the pearl of her most secret realms even as her head dipped low, taking Diane's nipples within her mouth, biting sharply upon them to get her attention, and then suckling them for a contrast. Slowly, her mouth and hands would work, getting Diane into another state of frenzy, but a state where she would not have to think too deeply about the occurrences of the day.<br>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane was almost disappointed that Honore had sent the servant away. she had wanted the wine, at least, to calm her nerves. However, it appeared that Honore had her own way of keeping Diane's nerve from being over frayed. when she returned and started to play with her pearl and breasts, Diane had to bite her lip to keep from moaning loudly.<br>
<br>
She barely heard Honore's praise as the pleasure shot through her body. She knew that she shouldn't ask for a release, but she knew she needed one. She bent her head back, arching to the Comtess's touch. It was like a fire had been ignited in her body, a slow burn that was quickly devoring her.<br>
<br>
She gripped the tub's edges. A part of her knew instinctively that unless Honore gave her permission, she shouldn't move from the tub. She acted as if she were tied down again, submitting to the woman's will.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"Such a good sweet girl..." she murmured as she continued rubbing the pads of her fingers against Diane's pearl and lips. She kissed all along Diane's neckline and up her jaw, eventually settling about the girls ear where she nibbled. She began to bite harder on her flesh as her hands rubbed more and more vigorously below. This time, because of the situation she was going to get her release. Of course, she'd have HonorÃ¨ to thank for it.<br>
<br>
"There you go, sweet girl...just relax. Let it build.", she whispered in Diane's ear. Her fingers slid inside of Diane's body, thrusting three fingers into the princess' tight hole, over and over again as her thumb, still upon the rough rag rubbed her pearl. As the girl's body would tense, she'd wait till just the right moment before giving the sharp command of "Now!" just as she knew Diane would in fact release her orgasm. With her eagerness to please, it would be a simple jump in logic for the girl to assume that it was HonorÃ¨'s command that had allowed the release. Making it all the easier to actually do so the next time.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane's breathe came in ragged gasps as the pleasure mounted. She moaned low, feeling the sensations build up past the point of last night. When she thought she could take no more, she heard Honore's command of "Now!" The command sent a thrill through her and she felt the fire consume her. Her whole body shook as she had her first release, ever. She couldn't help the cry that escaped her lips. However, given the state that anyone had last seen her in, any hearing that would most likely assume she had started to cry again.<br>
<br>
Taking a deep breathe, she felt the shocks still course through her, silently begging for a second round. She moaned low, sinking slightly in the water. Finally, she looked at Honore and gave her a small smile. "Thank you," she said. "I never knew of anything so wonderful." At that moment, she would do anything for Honore.</div>

"Oh, my good sweet girl...this is just the beginning." Before she pressed her lips to the princess' as if to devour her, to possess her, to own her very soul. The sensation would build, but she would get no release yet.<br>

Finally, she pulled free from the girl and looked at her with great affection. "Come, my sweet girl. You're going to catch a chill if you remain in the water much longer." It was shame that they weren't in HonorÃ¨'s room, or she would do even more delightful distractions to the girl. But for the moment, her intent was to get her into bed before going to hunt down the servant who'd brought the wine. Now would be a good time for it, to warm the girl up and settle her in. It was only the beginning of the day, but it had been rough emotionally, and she wanted to make sure that she was well cared for.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane allowed Honore to kiss her, eagerly opening her mouth for her. She pushed herself up from the tub so that she could press her wet body closer to Honore. The comtess's lips were so soft, yet demanding. On Honore's command, she stood up and grabbed a discarded towel. She let Honore play chambermaid and dry her off before making her way to her bed.<br>
<br>
"I don't have any of the things you do," Diane said softly, looking at her bed. "I have some scarves if you wanted to tie me down like last night." Her body tingled at the thought of being helpless. She should have been terrified, but she didn't mind giving up what little control she had to Honore. "If you require anything at all, let me know."<br>
<br>
She sat on the bed, waiting for Honore to tell her what to do. seeing how wet she had gotten Honore's dress, she said, "I can let you borrow any of my clothes, if you want to change."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">She chuckled softly. "No, I'm sure they'll be dry by the time I leave. I need to speak to your brother concerning some things." They troubled her a little, but she'd make sure things worked out. "But I will expect you in my room tonight. I'm sure your clever little brain can think of some reasoning." she tapped Diane lightly on the nose, teasing the girl as one might a younger sister. Once Diane was in bed and settled, she went back outside, taking the cup of wine from the maid and bringing it back. <br>
<br>
"I'm going to put a few herbs into the wine to help you relax, and so you won't have troubled dreams, alright?" There was slightly more to it than that, but of course, telling Diane what she was doing was likely to make the girl believe that it was all as she said. And in truth, it would relax it, but the herb she lifted from one of her side pockets was also a mild dissociative. It would loosen Diane's inhibitions even further even as it helped her relax. And if she trusted HonorÃ¨ to do it in front of her, she'd never question anything the comtesse gave her to eat or drink. There was no assumption of risk. She already trusted her.<br>
<br>
"Here, drink this..." she commanded when she was done, letting Diane see everything that was put in there even if she wouldn't be able to identify the herbs contained. She lifted it to Diane's chin, acting as if she was a child, in fact, babying her in a way.</div>

She felt light-headed from the wine first, and the herbs second. The room spun, but she never thought it was anything more then the wine.<br>
<br>
"I need to lie down," she said, clinging to the covers. She couldn't think clearly, just that a small voice in her head was telling her to always make others happy. It sounded like Gavin. All her life, he was always telling her that her place was to make others happy. Make father happy, make him happy, make her husband happy.<br>
<br>
Looking up at Honore, she said softy, "I want to be happy. I'll spend my whole life making others happy, but who will make me happy?"</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"I'll do what I can, sweet girl." HonorÃ¨ could see why Gavin was so protective of her, after all, she was starting to feel some of the same affection. "I can't promise it will always be like this, but I will at least make sure you have warm memories to keep you comfort." She let the girl lay down, chuckled as she realized the girl was still naked  beneath the sheets. Lying down with her, she wrapped her arms around the girl, letting her know that she was cared for, and that the comtesse would do everything in her power to keep her safe. Hopefully, the girl would sleep soon, and HonorÃ¨ could think.</div>

<br>
Pulling herself closer to Honore in her sleep, she felt safe. She had only felt his safe once before. After her mother had died tragically, Gavin had taken care of her. He had been her protector and teacher, and he was the only other person who made her feel safe. She was glad that Gavin and Honore had found each other, the two people in the world she knew she cared for.</div>

The princess would remember nothing of the conversation, but she would remember what was said, back in the deepest part of her mind. She spoke of what she would like to do to the princess, of what pleasures she would  give her. And she also spoke of Diane's brother, of how strong, virile and handsome he was. What an attractive specimen of manhood. The terms she used were ones that a woman would use when speaking a man she wished to bed, these were the images she would plant into Diane's slumbering mind.<br>
<br>
"Sleep and know pleasure, sweet girl...you and I shall find it together..." And so she would continue talking to the girl until she was deeply asleep, each phrase designed to think of herself as a woman meant for pleasure. To give pleasure, to receive it, that nothing was forbidden to her. Only HonorÃ¨ could forbid her anything, but it was only for her own good.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Deston was a bit taken back by the Ritter that suddenly came upon the two, he looked over at the princess now basically being dragged off as another pair 'escorted' him to the feast hall. As the Ritter Hex grabbed his arms and took him quickly to the large room empty of apparent life, only filled by the metal suites of the Ritter Hex, he began to shout, "Hey now what's the meaning of this!? I've done nothing wrong!"<br>
<br>
Once inside the hall, the Ritter removed from his side and went to their duties, as he was alone apparently in the great room. For a moment he stood there wondering what was going on. His thoughts seemed to go in circles though, and soon he decided to wait and see what happened and until then he would entertain himself. Looking around he found the silver wear, which he quickly came over to picking out a spoon.<br>
<br>
Taking his new found item, Deston then moved over to one of the Hex around the wall. Putting on a small show Deston made no sounds as he looked into the helmet of the suite, showing the spoon with as much grandeur he could muster. Slowly he brought the spoon to his tongue, letting it slide across the cold metal. Quickly he pressed the spoon to his nose and let go, as a smile grew upon his face when the spoon did not fall to the ground. He stood in front of the Ritter, his arms stretched at his sides, his hands shaking as if to show if his little trick.<br>
<br>
_____________________________________<br>
<br>
Tansen sat in his chair as the room seemed to have people disappearing left and right. He himself dared not move from his seat due to the looks of the Ritter Hex. He could tell something was going horribly wrong, but no one seemed to care enough to tell the guests. He pulled as much of a calm face over himself as he could, leaning back into the table, wishing someone would tell those left in the room what it was that was going on.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane's slumber was filled with dreams that would normally confuse her. Images of Honore, naked and entanged with her in bed. Images of herself pleasuring others under Honore's instruction. Confusing images of her brother calling out to her, whispering in her ear words of a lover. As if her mind were rebelling, she could see Lord Martinez taking Gavin's place. Finally, in deep sleep, she saw herself as she had never imagined herself to be. Like Honore, she was a confident woman, one who knew how to use her sexuality. She saw herself helping Gavin rule by using her charms on visiting lords. She was a femme fatal.<br>
<br>
***********<br>
<br>
After seeing his father, Gavin walked briskly to find Eloran. When he did, he said, "You will watch over my father. I want only your trusted men to get his food and bring it up from the kitchens. Have someone taste it before he eats or drinks. Let no one enter alone. If he wakes up and, for some insane reason, wants to finish his meetings, keep an eye on the remaining delegates. If my father so much as burps while they are there, they are to leave. Everything he ate, drank or touched is to be brought into question. Nothing is to pass his bedroom doors without you investigating it. Do you understand?"<br>
<br>
He signaled for the Ritter Hex to move about their new jobs. "I also want the Comtesses brought to my chambers. I will talk to them about this assassin plot myself." With that, he left for his rooms.<br>
<br>
********<br>
<br>
Ritter Hasglow watched Prince Tansen. "YOu wanted to know what was going on," he said. "I am not at liberty to reveal all, but the security of the palace might be breached. For your own safety, we would ask that you and the other delegates remain in the feast hall. Either there, or in your rooms. It is your choice, highness."</div>

Eloran nodded gravely, the precautionary measures were entirely sound.  "Yes, my Prince.  I would like to know what the Comtesses have to say about this, my lord, if you would speak to them here, with me?  Then we can work on investigating when we are both more informed."<br>
<br>
He set about, calling for men, some by name, assigning them to parts of the operation.  Men are sent to search the grounds, some to check on secret passages, others to use tracking skills to locate an intruder in the yard.  Some are tasked to go around questioning the servants and staff about unusual activity.<br>
<br>
"One more thing to consider, my lord."  Eloran turned back to Gavin, "if someone wants your father gone, I suspect you may be in some danger as well."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Once Diane was slumbering, HonorÃ¨ slowly removed herself from the girl's side and went back to the servants, ordering the retrieval of one of her own servants, Nicole by name. Once that was done, she had the bath removed, as well as had a new gown for Diane brought in. A matter of certain niceties before Nicole arrived with a change in dress for HonorÃ¨. Nicole was built similar to HonorÃ¨ with a lighter chestnut color to her hair. It was enough of a semblance that Diane wouldn't startle too much immediately upon leaving her dreams. Nicole had been with her the longest, and was who she deemed the most trustworthy. That did not, however, stop her from leaving her with some very vivid descriptions of what she'd do to Nicole should ANY harm befall Diane while in her care. Nicole was also to instruct Diane upon waking of HonorÃ¨'s instructions.<br>
<br>
"Tell her that I've had you remain while I speak to her brother. Tell her to replace the ribbon, and assist her with it, taking your usual care. Give her another cup of the wine." This time, taking the care to have another cup of wine sent, and putting a milder dose of the medicine within. It would not make her sleepy, only more pliable to HonorÃ¨. It would not work without a good deal of trust in the person you were around, but those people you trusted you were more likely to do anything, even more so than usual. "You are the only one to assist her with her dress. Make sure she trusts you. You will be her big sister in regards to the training. You know what to expect. " With Nicole's head nod and reply, HonorÃ¨ patted her on the head fondly.<br>
<br>
"Good girl. Now assist me in dressing and once I leave, go wait by her bed for her to awaken." Once adorned properly, the long tresses of hair pulled back into a quick lover's knot, she made her way out to the corridors once more. She would have preferred her braids, but they would take too long to put up, and the long hair was currently too much frustration for her to deal with calmly. In that regard, her sister had more patience than she. Perhaps that was why she dabbled where she did. But once outside, she saw the guards and Ritter Hex moving every which way, and she wasn't sure what to think about what was going on.<br>
<br>
"Where can I find, his highness Prince Gavin?", she inquired of one of them.<br>
<br>
"Comtesse de Morhban?<br>
<br>
HonorÃ¨ was taken aback. Were they looking for her and/or her twin, for some reason? Her response was hesitant a purpose. "Yes, I am one of the Comtesse de Morhban."<br>
<br>
"Come with me." Not like she was given any option, as one took her roughly by the arm, and began leading her back Prince Gavin's chambers, his manner curt and almost to the point of rudeness. The Ritter Hex were on high alert, it seemed.<br>
<br>
"Excuse me, you do not need to handle me so roughly."<br>
<br>
A glare was returned to her, with which she gave its equal back. She would not be cowed by a servant too far above his station. But his grip did not release. "Security has been breached and the prince wishes to see you and your sister immediately about it." He made it sound as if she and her twin were the ones who were the threat, and not that they had been trying to prevent it. Misunderstandings abound, it seemed. Then again, if you tell one person only that you want to see someone about an assassination, it was a likely conclusion if you weren't inclined to think about the fact that this one person had been sharing a private walk and breakfast with the son of the person who was in danger. Then again, perhaps it was.<br>
<br>
Whatever the case, the Ritter Hex arrived at the door to the Prince's chamber with HonorÃ¨ unhappily in tow. She may not have bruised easily on her face, but the same could not be said of her arm. Already it felt tender.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin looked up as Honore was 'escorted' into his private chambers. His eyes widened as he saw that she was being manhandled. That was no way to treat the future queen of Anstaria!<br>
<br>
"Let her go and then leave. Go protect my father or my sister, I don't need you here," Gavin ordered. He waited until the Ritter Hex had left before turning back to Honore. "I am so sorry," he said sincerely. "I told them to get you, but I didn't think they would do this."<br>
<br>
He motioned for Honore to sit with him by his desk. "I understand you and your sister discovered the assassination plot against my father. I would like to know any information you two have about this. How did you discover this plot?" His tone let her know that she wasn't in trouble. He was just worried about his father.<br>
<br>
**************<br>
<br>
Slowly, Diane woke up. At first, she thought that it was Honore sitting next to her bed. After she had sat up, she realized that this woman wasn't Honore, but someone who looked a lot like her.<br>
<br>
"Who are you," Diane asked. <br>
<br>
"Nicole, ma'am," the woman said. "I serve Comtess Honore. She left me here to dress you and to tell you that she is going to talk to your brother."<br>
<br>
At the mention of Gavin, Diane felt herself blush. For some reason, Gavin's name made her think of her brother, but not in a sisterly fashion. Looking down to hide her blush, she said, "All right then, help me dress. It's almost lunch time and I should really see if I'm still eating with Lord Martinez or Prince Tansen."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">When she was released, HonorÃ¨ sighed and rubbed her arm. She was a little hurt when she'd thought that Gavin had somehow thought that she'd had something to do with the assassination attempt. But she sat calmly down, and let him explain. It gave her some reassurance, although she let him see the hurt in her eyes.<br>
<br>
"I don't know that I can do this, Gavin. I want to be with you, but as long as I'm a member of the Goldspar delegation, I'm always going to be mistrusted." she looked past him, surveying the room with a sad expression in her eyes. "I won't be trusted as your wife, let alone if anything else happens. Perhaps it would be best if we left and went home if we can serve no useful purpose here." She placed her hands in her lap and looked back at him.<br>
<br>
"My sister discovered the plot and told it to the Ritter Hex. I had just given your father some of the unguent that I had with me to ease his cough. Unguent serves many purposes, medicinal as well as cosmetic." At this point, she was trying to remain stoic, and not let the situation seep in to hurt her, but her manners were stiffer than her usual collected self. "Other than that, I have no information, your highness." Even going so far as to address him by title once more.<br>
<br>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br>
<br>
"As you wish, your highness." when Nicole rose, it was with the same grace that HonorÃ¨ carried, but with a more submissive air to it. She lifted the bedsheets, and offered a hand to help Diane out of the bed. Once standing, Nicole grabbed a towel, and began to vigorous towel dry her again, this time to clear her body of sweat that accumulated when she slept. HonorÃ¨ liked the nice rosy tint that it gave to the skin as well. <br>
<br>
After that, it was a polite "please remain here." as she went to get the ribbon and returned to the woman child's side. Kneeling, she fastened it back around Diane's waist, her hands slipping into crevices that would reawaken Diane's dream feelings as well as her body. With a smile, she bent her head, and placed one gentle but firm kiss atop the mound of hair that hide the goddess' pearl and then explained.<br>
<br>
"That is a servant's prayer to his or her goddess that is the Mistress. It shows pleasure with being able to give service and to please her. This is the only time you may touch the Mistress without permission and only when she is undressed." Nicole was going a bit beyond what HonorÃ¨ had told her, but it was understood what was planned for the girl. "She also requested another restorative wine for you." she motioned to the cup beside the bed where a  new glass of wine remained.<br>
<br>
"Drink that, and I shall finish dressing you."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin made sure that they were alone. Any and all guards, servants or Ritter Hex were sent from his rooms. Moving to Honore's chair, he knelt in front of her and took her hands. It hurt him to see the woman who had so warmly accepted him just that morning be so cold and distant now.<br>
<br>
"Honore," he said softly, "I am not accusing you or your sister of this. And once the real perso who is behind this plot is found, no one will hate you. You and your sister brought this to our attention, and that shows goodness." He kissed her fingers. "You even tried to help my father. When word gets out about that, you'll see that my people will warm up to you."<br>
<br>
He turned her hands over, kissing her palms. "I don't want you to leave. I was serious this morning about wanting to marry you, and I am still serious about it." He took her hand, holding it over the braid. "My people will grow to love you as I do. And you're doing so wonderfully with Diane. It's good for her to have a friend. I know she will adore you as much as I do."<br>
<br>
**********************<br>
<br>
Diane shivered as Nicole placed a kiss on top of her mound. The reaction was automatic and she felt her nipples harden. "I think I'll have to remember that, the servant's prayer," she said, a bit breathless. The ribbon was already rubbing against her, making her feel pleasently aroused.<br>
<br>
She took the cup of wine and quickly drank it down. She felt so good, her mind continuously going to the lessons from Honore to her dreams of the future. She let Nicole dress her, but kept the first few buttons of her dress undone. It wasn't as low cut as Honore's, but there was an extra inch of skin showing. To Diane, it was the first step in being sensual.<br>
<br>
"You're mistress is a wordly woman," Diane said. "She knows the best way to a man's heart. You must have picked up something from her? Any advice before I go offer myself to the wolves?"</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">She let tears well up in her eyes, although they did not fall. She was not that weak of a woman, but she would let him know she'd been hurt by the actions of his people. "If the person is smart enough, they could find a way to make it seem as if it was I or my sister. The only way I would be above reproach would be to be your wife. People will always say whatever they choose." she looked down at him on his knees, and gave him a soft smile.<br>
<br>
"Your sister is a treasure. A lovely pearl that would glow with the right polish." she was trying to change the subject to something that was more pleasant. It was likely that the Loidites, and Goldspar by extension, would be placed to blame and nothing would come of the romance at all.<br>
<br>
~~~~~~~~<br>
<br>
"I am my Mistress' servant, hers to command. I can only hope to aspire to be like her one day." There was obvious admiration in Nicole's voice as she spoke of HonorÃ¨. "My only advice would be to realize that you too are a priceless gem, and that your gift to the world is yourself and if a man does not treasure you, he is a fool and therefore not worth your time." But she stood anyways, and helped Diane dress, her fingers light even as they teased various parts of Diane's body.<br>
<br>
"There is only one sin, and that is to not honor that which you claim as important. HonorÃ¨ honors you with her time and attention because she believes you are worth it. In time, she will love you as much as you will grow to love her. But you will both be richer for the time spent together."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin barely heard what she said about Diane. Instead, his mind raced with her mentioning that she could be above reproach as queen. In a normal kingdom, that would be true. Not in Anstaria.<br>
<br>
"We must work hard to make sure that the right party is brought to justice," Gavin said. "Remove all doubt from the minds of the people. And, remove all doubt from the minds of the Ritter Hex." Gavin still remembered how dangerous they could be. After his mother's death...no, murder...he made sure to try and stay on their good sides. However, he wondered if that was a good idea now that it jepoerdize his future marriage with Honore.<br>
<br>
"We have a chapel in the palace," Gavin said. "Marry me, Honore. We can keep it a secret for as long as you like, but I want you as my wife."<br>
<br>
******************<br>
<br>
Nicole's fingers teased Diane, and she unconciously leaned in toward's the servant girl. Her mind was a blur of erotic images, half formed by her virgin mind. She could feel her nipples pressing against the material of her dress, each movement sending shivers through her body.<br>
<br>
She smiled at the mention of Honore believing her worthy of her time. "I am very grateful to what Honore is doing for me. She is a wonderful teacher. I can only hope I make her proud," Diane said softly. "I am hoping that with her teachings I will have a marriage filled with love. That's all I really want; love."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">She looked at him, her face confused.<br>
<br>
"Will that not make me seem more guilty. That I suddenly appear and marry you while I am considered an assassin by your Ritter Hex? We've only known each other a short time. They will consider me an enchantress or worse, a witch. My mother died by the same accounts and we lived in Goldspar, I can only imagine what your people would do..." She looked down at him, her hand lifting to cup his face affectionately before sliding through his hair. He really was quite charming. Leaning in slightly, she pressed her lips to his. "I ...lo.." her voice then cracked and she looked away, as if the sight of him brought her pain, or rather the idea that she'd soon no longer be able to see him. "..I care about you.." she corrected herself, too close to using that most potent of words, upon which kingdoms had risen and fallen.<br>
<br>
"I would not see you hurt by my presence. As much as I wish to be with you, to counsel you, to lie beneath you at night in glorious abandon..."She had let herself get carried away with the mental imagery, but it was a desire of hers to be able to do all of the above with a man worthy of her. She continued looking at him, seemingly uncertain of how to decide. As much as she was her own woman, her sister held certain things over her.<br>
<br>
"Yes...but it must be quick before my sister finds out about it...even for a prince, I do not think she would allow it..." she finally relented, but it was the first uncertainty that Gavin would have heard in her voice. "I trust her with my life,  but she is overly fond of me."<br>
<br>
~~~~~~~<br>
<br>
Nicole smiled. "Well, the Lady HonorÃ¨ loves all those who serve her well. If you would have her love, serve her with your whole being. While you are hers, forbid her nothing and she will shape you into a thing of such beauty that mere mortals would tremble at the most delicate curl of your lip." The thing she didn't mention to Diane was how well HonorÃ¨ was loved by those who served her. So loved that a few had refused to leave her service, such as Nicole herself, despite her own high standing within society.<br>
<br>
"Men fear that which is unreachable, but it is also what is desirable. Become that, and you will have their love. "</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin smiled, hearing Honore's last words. He stood and pulled her to him. "Come on, we'll go straight to the chapel. The priest will marry us." He happily took her in his arms and kissed her cheek. "I promise you, Honore, I will be the most devoted and loving husband in history." He quickly took her up to the chapel, hoping that she didn't change her mind on the way.<br>
<br>
The old priest had a few concerns, though. "If I marry you secretly, you must be married in public as soon as possible," he said after Gavin explained their needs.<br>
<br>
"We will. I promise that as soon as all this clears, I will take the Comtess as my legal bride in the eyes of the people," Gavin said. He turned to Honore. "Will all this meet your approval, my love?"<br>
<br>
***********<br>
<br>
Dressed and ready, Diane wrote two notes. One for Lord Martinez and one for Prince Tansen. She was to have lunch with one of them, and she wasn't sure who. Each note stated that if he was the one ordered by Gavin to lunch with her, then she would be waiting in the gardens. Turning to Nicole, she said, "Have these delivered to the right parties. I will be in the garden, waiting."<br>
<br>
She had a duty to her kingdom, and that meant marrying. Even though her mind rebelled and she wanted to stay with Honore and Gavin, she would be the girl that she was raised to be.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">She was a touch bewildered by Gavin's exuberance, with all of the things against it that she'd spoken of, she'd thought for sure he'd call it off. But if anything, he seemed even more excited and encouraged. It wasn't exactly how she pictured her wedding day, in fact, she'd stopped picturing it a while ago. But looking at Gavin and how happy it made him, she couldn't quite tell him no. So, she stood before the priest.<br>
<br>
"Yes, of course, Father." She turned and looked at Gavin with true affection, one hand resting upon his cheek. "I would feel uneasy otherwise, after all, what is kept a secret could remain a secret. Goldspar is full of stories of women who thought they had only married in secret only to find out that it had been done only.." her breath caught, airing ones dirty laundry in front of a priest just wasn't done unless it was to confess.<br>
<br>
"But I want some token of your word, Gavin." Her eyes were bright, but she was deadly serious. "I will not be put away like some Danburian wives if it doesn't suit you."<br>
<br>
<br>
~~~~~~<br>
<br>
"As you wish, your highness..." Nicole took the notes, and headed out of the room, leaving Diane to her own amusements. But she could not hand deliver them herself, as she did not know who Prince Tansen or Lord Martinez was. So she handed them off to another servant, and went back to Diane's door, simply waiting for the princess to come out.</div>

He would give her anything she asked. As his wife, she would have access to most of what was his anyway. Not really legally, but he knew his mother could enter areas that the king had access to because she was the queen. Honore would be allowed in his private library and study, and he would happily allow her.<br>

<br>
Diane took Nicole down with her when she entered the gardens to wait for her lunch date. She hoped that the possible assassin plot against her father. On the way to the gardens, she heard the servants whispering. At first, she took no notice, until she heard her name.<br>
<br>
Looking around, she listened in on what they were saying. Her heart clenched when she heard them saying her father had died by an assassin. And that her brother was injured. Trying to stop her tears, she ran back to her room.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">She smiled, he was rather eager to please. In that he and his sister were not too different. "Nothing as definitive as that. But perhaps a document signed by both us, and the Monsignor? Signifying that it is a valid marriage." She didn't need anything so grand as a ring or anything, but it was to protect herself if anything should happen. Normally, only the church and the husband got a copy of the record. "Then I suppose we can begin whenever you wish..." It was simple really, it wasn't as if HonorÃ¨ was greedy for power or wealth.<br>
<br>
~~~~~~<br>
<br>
Nicole had been silent the entire time, watching her 'little' sister while she went about her business. But as she heard the other servants gossiping, she had an idea of the storm that was to come, and as soon as Diane fled, Nicole followed her, shutting the door back behind her. But this time, her voice was not soft as she spoke to Diane.<br>
<br>
"Is this what you think of HonorÃ¨ to deny the words from her very lips? She told you, your father is not dead." It was another thing that HonorÃ¨ had entrusted to Nicole,  but only so she would ignore any servants gossip and hopefully keep Diane calm. "Are you saying she lied because of what servants are gossiping about? Are you really that weak willed? Perhaps my Mistress was wrong about you, and you are unworthy to be trained." Her voice was harsh, and despite the fact that Diane was a princess, Nicole had no fear of her.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Tansen nodded at the Ritter nodding his head in understanding. "Lady Masako, I don't believe today would be such a good day to talk in private. The current situation would be against us, so perhaps another time." He stood up, almost mechanically as he moved out the door noticing the Ritter following right behind him. He gave a sigh, for he and his brother were likely the top two on the Ritter Hex's take out list and this would give them the perfect excuse to do so. Coming to his quarters, he opened the door to see if his brother was in, calling, "Deston? Hey you here?"<br>
<br>
Hearing no reply Tansen shook his head turning to head down to the feasting hall, but his task was ended before it had even started, as a larger Ritter Hex shoved him into his room. Tansen nearly lost all balance as he stumbled backwards into the room, the large man merely glared at Tansen saying, "You are to stay here under penalty of death." Tansen took his words seriously, even as every muscle in his being twitched for retaliation. Finding his own bed he sat down and tried to collect his cool; this was no time to fight.<br>
<br>
A while later the Ritter out side his door came into Tansen laying on his bed. Tansen half feared he had come to kill him, his eye moving to where his sword lay in his bags. He gave a sigh of relief as the guard merely held out a letter for him. He got up from the bed, quickly reading the letter. It was his get out of jail free card. He went about preparing to leave for the garden, when he was done moving for the door only to be stopped once again by the big man at the door. "I have a meeting with the princess, I must attend."<br>
<br>
"What proof do you have of this?" The metalic voice came rasping from the tin can of a man.<br>
<br>
"This letter here." Tansen handed the Ritter Hex the letter, fully expecting the man to take that as a valid excuse, yet was stopped once again at the door.<br>
<br>
The large man once again spoke in his seemingly emotionless voice, "These come from the princess. My orders come from a higher power. You are to stay here until further notice." Tansen was shocked that he was rejected his freedom to pass, moving back to his bed. He decided to bring his bag with his swords into it closer to the head of the bed, just in case.<br>
____________________________________<br>
<br>
Deston sat back down after giving the Ritter a little show, sighing at the lack of emotion. Letting his breath exhale as his head came down upon the table. He thought he would explode from the lack of happenings now. The thought came to him that he still had no idea why he was in the room all alone, coming up to the Ritter Hex that stood by the entrance. As he opened his mouth, another voice called to him. "Letter for you sir."<br>
<br>
A frail boy nearly came into the room but the Ritter Hex kept him just outside, holding his hand out demanding the letter. Opening the letter and seeing it truly was what the boy said he handed it over to Deston, who snatched it from his hands a grin growing upon his face. Reading the letter he called for the boy to come back and deliver it to his brother. The boy asked where Tansen was but all Deston could do was shrug, the Ritter had told him nothing since he entered the virtual prison.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane turned to glare at Nicole. "I am not unworthy," she said. "What if something happened? Between the time Honore said everything was okay and now? All I know is that someone wants to kill my father. What about Gavin?"<br>
<br>
She hated that she was called weak for caring about her family. She opened her wardrobe and grabbed a small jeweled dagger in the bottom. she hooked it to her dress. "Honore's word was a while ago. I don't even know how much time has passed. I trust her, but I do not trust an assassin."<br>
<br>
She left the room, not caring if Nicole was following. She went back to the gardens, armed and ready. <br>
<br>
**************<br>
<br>
Gavin smiled. "A signed paper is easy," he said. "We will all sign so there will be no doubt." He never thought of denying her, and if this proved it, so be it. He turned to the priest. "Three copies of the marriage contract will be made." The priest sighed and nodded. If the prince wanted to include his bride, that was his business. He knew they did things differently in Goldspar.<br>
<br>
The wedding started, Gavin held on to Honore's hand the whole time.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Well, there'd be a small problem with Diane leaving the room. Nicole was blocking the door. "Stop, your highness." Nicole did not use titles for other people, but if it got her attention, all the better. "The reason you are unworthy is because you're becoming the mindless creature you said you did not want to be. Think. If something truly had happened, right after an assassination attempt, would not Gavin, HonorÃ¨ herself or at least a small squadron of Ritter Hex be at your door, surrounding you and protecting you even against your will. Most likely, no one has cleared up what's gone wrong from before when people thought he was dead."<br>
<br>
"If you don't calm down this second, and try to truly think, I will personally tell HonorÃ¨ that you're nothing but unthinking, blind creature. The most telling feature of a man is how he acts when he's challenged, not when he's at peace." She put a hand on Diane's shoulder. "That being said, I do not think it unwise to take protection. Do not rely on anyone else for your protection. But for heaven's sake, be more discreet about it." After she'd said her peace, she moved, and unlocked the door. Either she would continue to be a foolish girl with no thought in her head, or she would learn to be a true gem of a princess. Worthy and equal of her brother. The choice was hers as far as Nicole was concerned.<br>
<br>
~~~~<br>
<br>
The priest had a acolyte run off to have another sheet of the document brought out, luckily the clerk had  a quick as well as beautiful hand. Once they had all the copies, the priest had begun the ceremony. HonorÃ¨ was surprised at herself, despite her normal quick memory for the details of things around her, she wasn't thinking or looking at anything else but Gavin. For probably the first time in her life, she was acting and looking like a besotted woman. She heard Gavin speak, but it took a moment for the priest's voice to register to her brain.<br>
<br>
"HonorÃ¨? Do you take Gavin to be your husband â to live together after Godâs ordinance â in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, for better, for worse, in sadness and in joy, to cherish and obey...." That earned him a glare, and Gavin an arched eyebrow but he continued for the second time", forsaking all others, keep yourself only unto him as long as you both shall live?" That last one got a chuckle from her, with certain things taken into consideration, that last one would likely be subject to negotiation. While she wouldn't normally leave it to said negotiation, there was a certain rush to things.<br>
<br>
She looked at the priest, and then Gavin with a soft smile. "the obey might be a little tough sometimes, but I do..." she was lighthearted in a way that she would never be in public. It was usually only her sister and slaves that got to see her thus.<br>
<br>
"I now pronounce you husband and wife." the priest then looked at Gavin and smiled, knowing the signs of a boy full in lust. "You may kiss the bride..." <br>
<br>
And as to be expected, HonorÃ¨'s first act of dis-obedience was to place each of her hands on Gavin's cheeks and kiss him passionately before he could do the same to her. After the kiss would end, she'd be smirking even as she gave him her own promise, that the priest would not hear. "In public you shall have my obedience. In private...we'll see..." The very words seemed to promise something that she was sure he'd enjoy.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Eloran paced the room nervously, anger slowly growing inside him.  If Gavin was getting information from the Comtesses, he was taking his sweet time.  This was important, the Prince should be here, solving the problem.<br>
<br>
He cursed, looking at his weak King and the frustrated healer tending to him.  "Amox" he snarls, his anger seeping through into his voice.  A teen aged boy in a squire's tunic approached Eloran.  "Yes, sir?"<br>
<br>
"Go fetch Prince Tansen and Prince Deston, the Loidite visitors.  Tell their guards this is my order, and be pleasant to our guests."  He spits the word.  "I need to speak with them, it is important."<br>
<br>
"Yes, sir."  Eloran's squire, Amox Harrison, ran off to do his Knight's bidding.  He knocked on the door to the Loidite's room a few minutes later after scurrying through the stone hallways.<br>
<br>
"Sir Eloran has requested an audience with you, Prince Tansen, and Prince Deston."  Amox bows to one knee as he addresses them.<br>
<br>
The guards in the room grunt, and step away from the doorway.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Tansen heard the young lad enter the room and quickly moved shoving his bag under the bed. "What is it now?" Tansen spoke curtly. He was in no mood to be pushed around more by the Ritter Hex. He moved quickly across the room to where the boy was standing.<br>
<br>
"Sir Eloran wishes to speak to you and your brother, your highness." The boy must have been no older than thirteen yet already one could see the signs of a warrior begin to grow on him. It was a nice change though from the large lurking guards he was used to.<br>
<br>
"My brother is in the feast halls I would expect." He moved round the boy swiftly forcing the small lad to put a little spring in his step to keep up. Quickly making it to the halls where once again the boy had the Ritter move and let open the doors. Deston was still sitting in his seat seemingly lost in thought, but quickly came out once he heard the door move.<br>
<br>
"Aha! Life! I was afraid everyone had disappeared of the edge of the world. So what's new?" Deston moved with the grace he had learned in his studies, to his brother and the young squire. He knew nothing good would come from the two being called upon by a squire but it was a nice change from the boring room.<br>
<br>
"We are to meet with the Ritter Eloran. Apparently there are problems in security." Tansen held back a smile, glad as he was to see his brother safe and sound. In his mind he started to think if Eloran would really accuse the two of the crimes apparently being called into question. If so it would be helpful if Deston kept his mouth shut.<br>
<br>
The two began moving down the halls to the king's room, at a faster than normal pace. Both Tansen and Deston had no wish to stay in suspicion any longer than needed. "Great. So I take it, we will be blamed for such 'problems'?" Deston chuckled as he replied sarcastically. The three made it two the door, and the princes waited for the squire to give them passage in.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane moved the small dagger to a pocket in her dress. "I am thinking clearly," she said. "I am going to the gardens to do what I would be doing if all hell had not broken loose. I will continue on this path until someone tells me what is going on. Whether I eat with Prince Tansen or Lord Martinez, surely one of those men will know something. And coming from lands that do not always hide knowledge from women, maybe they will tell me what my own brother would not."<br>
<br>
She moved past Nicole, holding her head up high and ready to show that she believed all was well. No assassin would find her an easy mark. She made her way to the garden and waited for her lunch date.<br>
<br>
**********<br>
<br>
Gavin smiled, stroking a hand down Honore's face. "In private," he whispered, "I will gladly see all that you can be. Claws and all, my love." He turned to sign the papers and then held the pen to Honore for her to sign.<br>
<br>
"I can't have you spend too many nights in my room before we tell the world of this," Gavin said, "however, I do not wish to be cheated of a wedding night with my bride. Come to my rooms tonight, after everyone is abed. I will give you a missive incase you are stopped."<br>
<br>
Tonight, Gavin intended to be with his wife. No one, not even the Ritter Hex, would stop him.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Not that it was unexpected, but that did put a damper on her plans for Diane. Perhaps she would leave Nicole with her. That way she could get some satisfaction as well as training. Yes, that would do it. With that settled, she turned to Gavin with a smile that was sweet, yet full of heat. Bedroom promises...<br>
<br>
"Of course, husband o'mine." she signed each copy of the paper swiftly, putting her own signet down as well to mark it. It was strange. There was no ring on her finger, and she didn't feel married, but she saw the words there on paper. She was no longer one of the comtesse De Morhban, she wasn't sure what she was, but she wasn't one of two now. Except she was and was not. Perhaps it would all make sense in the light of day. With that thought in mind, she smiled at her 'husband'. "I suppose this means we must go back and face my sister now. But what of yours? Should we tell her of this?"<br>
<br>
~~~~~<br>
<br>
Nicole sighed, at least this was slightly better than before. But the girl was not a good actress. She could only hope that HonorÃ¨ would come back from the prince's soon. She could at least keep this brat princess under control. But she followed Diane anyways. She had her own orders from HonorÃ¨ and this was one princess who did not disobey her mistress.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin smiled. "Of course we can tell our respective sisters. Diane will be overjoyed. She'll," he paused as a thought suddenly came to him. Deflated, he looked down. "Damn! I forgot that she was having lunch with Lord Martinez. I didn't tell the Ritter Hex to let him pass for her. Knowing them, they've got the delegates strung up in the dungeons."<br>
<br>
He kissed Honore. "Assuming Diane hasn't been locked in her room, she'll be waiting for her lunch date. I'll go make sure that it's all going as planned. If you want, I will be with you when we tell your sister. I won't breathe a word without you." He started for the door before walking back to her. He took off his necklace with his family crest on it. "Take this. If anyone gives you any trouble, show them this. It will prove that you are under my protection and my word. Anything happens to you, and I will see to it that who so ever laid a hand on you is punished by the fullest extent of our laws." He kissed her again and then ran off to make sure that Lord martinez could get to Diane.<br>
<br>
************<br>
<br>
Diane made her way to the gardens, ignoring the whispering of the servants. A table was set up, though no one was waiting for her. Diane sat down, wondering how long would be proper to wait before she left. As she waited, she thought of a safety word for Honore. There wasn't much for her to do. it was either wait out here or wait in her room. Waiting, waiting, waiting. Hopefully, marriage would be less waiting and a little more freedom.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"I'm not sure how wise it is to tell my sister." But what was done, was done. Not much could be done about it now, except dispose of Gavin before the bedding. Which, to be honest, HonorÃ¨ would not put past Valere. She shook off the morbid thought and watched as Gavin walked off, slightly amused as how adamant he'd been about the marriage, and yet how quickly he walked off. She tucked the crest within her bodice and mused thoughtfully.<br>
<br>
"Tell me, monsigneor? I just married a prince of a fairly powerful country, and yet I'm second guessing myself. Is that normal?" She didn't have much use for religion usually, but there were moments she remembered her mother's fervernt passion for her own religion and wondered if there wasn't something in it for people. She didn't really expect an answer, but now she wasn't sure what to do with herself.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Tansen came into the room not expecting to be greeted as such. It was definitely not a hostile greeting but it still put Tansen on edge, it was to fast a mood swing from shoving around to calling friends. Still Tansen let a half-hearted smile come across his face. Deston on the other hand had a smile on his face the second he had come through the door. He loved the change of doom and gloom to buddy buddy.<br>
<br>
"Thank you good sire. It will be a nice change from these politics, to speak what one really means." Tansen wrapped his hand around the far side of his brothers neck, so it would look like a friendly gesture, but Deston knew it was ment to shut him up before he said anything stupid.<br>
<br>
"So were all friends here, and we all just want a bit of peace between our countries then? I think we can get on to why it is you have called for my brother and I." Tansen found a chair where the two could sit and it would look like he was just resting his hand on Deston's chair. He didn't like the look of Eloran's. He looked like a man made with passion, far different than the stoic Ritter he was used to.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Jaren smiled as he received the letter from the servant. He brought it up slowly towards his nose, sniffing at it just once before taking it back down. With one hand he tore it open, flipping it out, reading its quick message as he sat in that self same chair that he had conducted his meeting from just a scant hour or so ago. He carefully slid the letter into a fold in his robes, pulling his hand out slowly, now empty. <br>
<br>
A three count later he pushed up out of his chair with grace, leaving the table at a slow walk. His hands were held over his stomach, tucked into the sleeves of the opposite arm. He nodded to the servant as he left out the open door. He walked past a number of Ritter Hex knights, never saying a word to any of them as he made his way through the corridors. He moved at a stately pace, never lingering, but not exactly hustling either. He had a soft smile on his face, his eyes often drifting from his path until he finally reached the door to the gardens.<br>
<br>
Lord Martinez stopped as the sudden sunlight enveloped him. He blinked three times, adjusting to the light before his gaze cleared. Almost immediately his eyes locked onto a table, and a woman sitting at it. His smile widened just a little as he walked over towards the Princess and their lunch.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">The priest rolled up his copy of the marriage contract. "Well, I would have to say that yes, it is normal your highness," he said. "You and the prince rushed into this marriage. A process that should take a few months took a few minutes." He started picking up the articals of the marriage and clearing off the alter.<br>
<br>
"I won't lie, I don't think a rush and secrecy is good. However, I've known Prince Gavin since he was a little boy. You are the second female he's ever even cared for; the first being his sister. For years, his father has tried to get him interested in women, but he only seemed to care about learning about his kingdom and trying to find the perfect husband for Princess Diane." The priest shook his head. "Those two were so close to each other. I know twins are often close, but not boy and girl twins. After their mother died, Gavin took care of Diane. He never let her out of his sight. After she became an adult, he was forced to stay in the men's quarters, but they spent most of the day together."<br>
<br>
He looked down. "I don't know how they'll deal when Diane leaves to live with her husband. It'll be the first time ever they'll be truly apart."<br>
<br>
*****************<br>
<br>
Diane looked up at Lord Martinez approached. Though it was not custom, she stood up to wait until he was at the table. "Lord Martinez," she said, dropping in a curtsy. "I am glad you came. I was starting to worry that my lunch was cancelled."<br>
<br>
She smiled at him, motioning for him to join her. "I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty of ordering us a simple lunch. Nothing too heavy, considering the events of the day."</div>

His arms came out of his robes, and in his right hand was clutched a curled up book. A soft cover, cracked and worn, stained in spots. It was unmarked, there were places where the edges were frayed and pages that had their corners marked. He set it down on the table to his right before sitting back in his chair. His hands were folded in his lap, his eyes never leaving the princess's face.<br>

"However, I know that my brother would want me to continue with the engagement." She smiled, sitting up straighter. "I hope that the engagement is going all right," she said. "I know it's only been a day, but with the excitement, I am worried that something could go wrong."<br>

She reached over the table and laid her hand on Martinez's. She gently rubbed her thumb over his hand, looking him in the eyes.

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane could feel the thin hairs on the back of his hand starting to stand up as her thumb rubbed over him. The smile faded away from his face, his body settling back in the chair, slumping down just another inch. His other hand reached over slowly, resting on top of Diane's, his fingers resting on top of her wrist.<br>
<br>
"There is something, Diane," he spoke softly, so that she would barely be able to hear him, much less any servants or knights that might be lingering around. His eyes stared back at hers, catching the dazzling sunlight off her blue irises.<br>
<br>
"Tell me what you truly want, Diane. You have dreams, I want to know them."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Deston spoke first this time, he was a bit confused at the Ritter's sudden change of mood, but he was more or less impatient with Eloran asking his question over multiple times. His professors used to use the type of techniques and it annoyed the boy greatly. "Yes, yes. Come on get on with it. It's obvious we are for peace. So how can we help?"<br>
<br>
He expected his brother to put pressure along his neck but instead he saw there was a scowl on his face also. Tansen looked long and hard at Eloran, trying to figure the man out. One moment ago it seemed he could have been from the loony house, yet now he was stone cold. Tansen did not like dealing with men that could flip personalities in an instant. It made words very dangerous.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Both Tansen and Deston were taken aback by Eloran's request. Tansen didn't know much about healing magic though he was sure his brother would but even then he doubted the two could ever heal the king, when he was in such a condition. "My good Ritter Hex my brother and I are not healers and your king is obviously in need of a healer. If you so wished we could bring a healer back from our lands."<br>
<br>
Deston simply got up and walked over to the king. The man seemed an inch away from death, a shell of a once mighty man. "What are the symptoms?" Deston had no love for the king or Eloran, but saying he saved a the king and brought peace between the two lands was something he couldn't pass up. Magic seemed the only thing he was good at so he beat his brother every chance he got to use it. His mind drifted to dreams of what could happen if it was he did help the king as he waited for an answer.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Eloran smiled again, even wider than before, and shook with excitement.  "We can do this?"  He looked around the room, at anxious Ritter Hex's, shifting in their armor, their expressions hidden behind their masks.  "We can do this!"<br>
<br>
He stands up, and extends his hand to Tansen's for a shake.  "I'm....impressed....and, I thank you, my Lords, for agreeing so readily to a show of good faith.  This can be the beginning of a new era."<br>
<br>
Eloran turns to the King and Deston.  "The symptoms?  He....well, he is not a particularly old man, but he has no energy.  He is awake less and less each day, he cannot walk at this point.  Coughing fits that are increasingly violent.  He can barely eat.  Sometimes he....and it pains me to say this of my King, he goes insane. He rambles for hours...it seems to be nonsense, though, I have heard very similar tongues spoken by cultists during rituals, dark sorcerers who seem to sprout up and disappear from time to time in the more remote wilderness areas of Anstaria.  Not all of them are related to Loidi, and many are outcasts even among your people.  It....well, to my ear, at least, does not sound like the spells that Loidite wizards typically invoke.  I believe it's a curse, and it seems unlikely that it is any of your doing, especially given your acceptance to help cure him."<br>
<br>
"How quickly can you summon your finest healer and cursebreaker?"</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Diane leaned forward, her lips brushing his ear. "All I want is to travel, see the world," she said. "I want the freedom to read what I wish and not be restricted to silly poems." Taking a chance, she kissed him softly underneath his ear before sitting back. "I can be whoever you want me to be in public. As your wife, I can be as meek as you desire, as long as I can see the world."<br>
<br>
She smiled, running a finger down her neck and the little exposed flesh at her throat. "My requests aren't so demanding. As your wife, I would gather that I'd be traveling with you anyway. I just ask that I'm not locked in my room all the time."<br>
<br>

<br>
Ritter Hasglow frowned. He was one of the ones assigned to help protect the king, and he was not liking what was going on. They should be protecting the king from wizards, not inviting them to fiddle with the sick monarch. The only spells they knew existed were battle ones, but that didn't mean that the Loidites couldn't have more of an arsenal. <br>
<br>
"Sir," he said, stepping forward to Eloran, "is this wise? We know nothing of what is wrong with the king. What if a mixture of magics harms him further?"</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">HonorÃ¨ wasn't sure how to respond to the priest. She had let herself get caught up in Gavin's enthusasim, but was it really wise. Yes, she could use him for her own purposes, and normally, she would not have had a problem doing just that. She took the rolled up document and sighed, what was done was done.<br>
<br>
"I don't approve either, monsignor. But these peace talks are important to him, which is why I cautioned him. Technically I am supposed to be here to make sure the Loidites aren't taken for granted, if they found out that I'd married Prince Gavin..." A small hoarse chuckle slipped from between her lips. "It could ruin everything for him. Everything he's worked for. And with his father sick...I can be a cruel woman when I need to be, but I have sympathy for him, having no mother." <br>
<br>
She left the priest, and began wandering the hallways, not quite sure where she would end up, simply aimlessly roaming, the document tucked into a pocket of her dress. Where she ended up was the stables. Her gelding had been groomed and was happily eating oats. "What do you say we go for a ride, love..." Her somber mood broken with a laugh as the horse reached out to nuzzle her through its feedbag.<br>
<br>
Once he was ready, she saddled him herself and trotted him out past the guards. It was interesting to think about, that her freedom might soon be as restricted as her now sister in law. No, she wouldn't allow that, not really. Moving into the forest, she kept her gelding at a gentle trot as she tried to think about everything the last twenty four hours had brought.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Hasglow frowned. "With all due respect, sir, this could be seen as a threat. No offense to the Loidites, but if this is magically influenced - and we have no evidence of such - than wouldn't throwing more magic on it be dangerous?" He found it very suspicious that his commanding officer, a man who fought hard to keep magic out of Anstaria, was now embracing its dark hold.<br>
<br>
"If we are going to invite all the magic users here, why not call on the Baroness Masako? Why not see if the Comtesses might know more," Hasglow growled. "This is an unwise move. Even it it were not magically related, letting people who, until just recently, were enemies of the state so close to our dying monarch is ludicrious." He looked over at Tansen and Deston, "No offense meant, of course."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Tansen nodded in agreement with Ritter Hasglow. He didn't want to rush into something that could cause problems. All it would take was someone with a hot temper or one mistake, and the Hex would start the war all over again. "I have to agree with the Ritter Hasglow, Eloran. It would not be safe for us to perform magic in your country. Anything we do could be seen as an act of war. Perhaps if we informed Prince Gavin of your plans, we would be more helpful."<br>
<br>
Tansen yanked Deston away from the king. He didn't want to be anywhere near the frail man when he died. Such actions could easily be pinned on the two princes and he saw that clearly. "I understand your concerns completely Ritter Hasglow. I would not be so keen on leaving my father in a weekend state with many Ritter Hex."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Eloran considered for a moment, a smile quirked at the corners of his lips.  "A folly then." he waves his hand, dismissing the past few minutes from his concern.  "But what have we gained from this exchange?"  He beamed at the men in the room, looking between Hasglow and Tansen and Deston.  "This may have been one of the most polite exchanges between the two most iconic figures of our time, the bloody Ritter Hex, and the demonic magi.  We could work together.  There is no reason we shouldn't.  Ages have past since long buried men started this conflict.  This man here," he pointed at the King, "has treated with your father, Prince Tansen, in the past, to finally bury the issues of dead men, but still we war.  It's evident that we can share this continent, we've been doing it so far, and if we weren't killing each other all the time, we could be a much more advanced people."<br>
<br>
"So, my Lords of Loidite, when you nobles resume your squabbling over the conditions of the peace, well, don't let something as trivial as some upset merchants alter your course.  This can be YOUR legacy," he roared.  "You and Gavin, the two Princes who continued to throw men at each other, or the two Princes who brought a golden age of peace and plenty."</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Hasglow stepped between Eloran and the Loidites. "I think, it would be best if their highnesses went on their day. It's near lunch time, and I am sure our cooks will be happy to serve some of our deliscious foods. Plus, there are meetings this afternoon, and I know that delegates often have notes or past treaties to go over before bringing up new business," he said. Gently, he placed a hand on the Loidites' shoulders, pushing them toward the doors. "It would be best if the king were only open to the meetings he had placed for the day, and their highnesses have already met with him."<br>
<br>
He propelled the Loidites to the hall and helped them out of the chambers. On his way, he motioned to one of his loyal men to keep an eye on Eloran. He found it very suspicious that the Ritter Hex had a change of heart so fast, especially around the sick king.<br>
<br>
On their way down the hall, they ran into Gavin. He had found out that Martinez was having lunch with his sister and that Honore had just left for a ride. He was planning on seeing his father, but running into the Loidites surprised him.<br>

				<div class="bbWrapper">After being shunted aside by the activities going on around the castle, Masako found herself on her own yet again.  This was starting to get frustrating, it seemed like some kind of stupid conspiracy to keep her from having any real contact with the other delegates and it was starting to rightly piss her off. She'd tried everything she could think of to ingratiate herself from sucking down her pride and accomodating the Anstarian dress style to toning down her bold or even brazen force of personality.  She didn't like the subtlety of being demure and quietly seductive; she had a body made for sin (literally) and Masako enjoyed flaunting it; considering herself (perhaps arrogantly) to be one of the greatest beauties on the face of the planet.  <br>
<br>
In her agigtation she'd undo her personal limitor and began to let her demonic power seep out to infect anyone who was nearby with it's supernatural charming effect.  She was done playiing stupid little games, if she wanted the attention she was going to force people to pay it.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Hasglow suddenly straightned by his prince's side. He motioned for two of the guards in the hall to stay with the princes while he went to investigate. He had the itch between his shoulders, something he only felt when he was around magic. It wasn't around the Loidites, so he knew they weren't doing anything. But someone was. Someone was using magic and it was causing his skin to crawl. He kept his ability a secret, even from the Ritter Hex, but it served Anstaria well.<br>
<br>
He searched the castle, moving towards any direction that made the itch stronger. He was only mildly surprised to see it lead him to Baroness Masako. His hand on his sword, he approached her. "My lady, I believe you were warned about magic in Anstaria. I must insist you cease your activity at once."</div>

"I'm sick of playing nice only to get ignored by everyone, if you don't like it; that's too bad.

			Diane leaned forward, her lips brushing his ear. "All I want is to travel, see the world," she said. "I want the freedom to read what I wish and not be restricted to silly poems." Taking a chance, she kissed him softly underneath his ear before sitting back. "I can be whoever you want me to be in public. As your wife, I can be as meek as you desire, as long as I can see the world."<br>
<br>
She smiled, running a finger down her neck and the little exposed flesh at her throat. "My requests aren't so demanding. As your wife, I would gather that I'd be traveling with you anyway. I just ask that I'm not locked in my room all the time."

The Lord's skin was warm under Diane's lips, his blood pumping heavily, her kiss able to feel his pulse beneath the skin. He was leaning forward, his eyes drawn to her delicate finger at her neck. He reached out across the table, the back of his right hand reaching up towards her face, his fingers brushing her from cheekbone to chin. His hand lowered back to his edge of the table, forearm up upon it, his hand still pointed her way, index and middle finger rubbing against his thumb in a slow circle. <br>
<br>
"You can have all of that, and more," he whispered towards her. He pushed his book out towards her side of the table, the worn leather bound volume. "A token of my word," he promised, as the cracked, heavily marked book stopped near her place.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Deston and Tansen went compliantly with Hasglow. They were beginning to become used to the Ritter Hex ushering them all around the castle. Seeing Gavin, Tansen took a quick look at Hasglow to see if it would be wise to mention what it was that had just happened. Hasglow seemed to have been very disturbed by Eloran's motion to use magic and Tansen could understand why. Even he was confused at Eloran's change of heart.<br>
<br>
Instead of finding the large man face he saw him going towards Masako, and all Tansen could do was shake his head. All this castle needed was more friction between the delegates. "Well since you got the question out first, we were just finishing a meeting with Ritter Eloran. I must say it was very interesting to say the least. And may I ask how your search for the assassin is coming?"<br>
<br>
Deston sighed. He wished his brother would just flat out say that Eloran wished the use of magic on the king but he could see how that may cause problems. From what he knew the Ritter Hex were virtually a second government in this society, and starting large amounts of friction between the crown and the Ritter would be unwise while your in the middle of it.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin started to open his mouth to answer Tansen's question, but paused. Would it be prudent to just blurt all this out? For all he knew, by sundown he'd be king. He had to act like one.<br>
<br>
"The investigation is coming along well," Gavin said after Hasglow ran off. "There will be a brief delay in the meetings. Why don't the two of you take the time to see some the sights of Anstaria. We have a beautiful garden in the palace, as well as a lovely city beyond our gates. Not to mention that you can use the horses to go for a ride in the woods. Why not familiarize yourselves before tomorrow's hunt?"<br>
<br>
********************<br>
<br>
Diane slowly picked up the book and her eyes lit up with wonder. "A journal of travels," she said softly. She opened the book, eagerly reading a few lines. "Oh, thank you, Lord Martinez! You don't know what this means to me." Dropping her seductive act, she impulsively reached over and hugged him, placing a kiss on his cheek. <br>
<br>
"This is the best gift I could have hoped for," she said, her fingers lovingly stroking the leather binding.<br>
<br>
*************************<br>
<br>
Hasglow escorted Masako to her rooms and roughly pushed her inside. "If I were you," he said, "I'd be careful of what I say. Prince Gavin will hear of this, and you had better hope nothing happens to His Majesty because of your little tricks. If it weren't for the position you just previously held, I would be under authority to execute you. We tolerate demons less then we do magic-users. I suggest you remember that."<br>
<br>
With that, he had the door locked and walked away. Unfortunately for all involved, Masako's impulsive magic had already triggered a set of events. The power flowed through the palace, putting many of the Ritter Hex at unease as it brushed by them. As the trendils of power touched the king's room, it set off a well-placed trap. Eloran may or may not have felt the ring given to him heat up - A warning? A trap? A coincidence? - mere seconds before the air above the king's bed burst into flames.<br>
<br>
The startled men in the room barely had time to draw their swords before a demon dropped from the fire and ripped open the old king's chest. The assassin had struck.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">"Hey watch it you bastard." She snarled flatly. "Instead of just doing all this, why not just let me leave huh?" she grumbled and looked about the room for a way out. She didn't like being caged up like this with everyone against her; Masako would get out even i fshe had to make even more use of flagrant magic.  There was no point in concealng it now, she'd cast yet another spell as she felt the infernal energy rising n the castle, using it to conceal what she was doing.  In a few moments, a dimensional gate would open leading to a predetermined spot miles outside of the castle, just outside of Anstaria as a matter of fact.  Just like the Loidites, she too could travel great distances by magical means. The necklace she was wearing allowed herh to use this particular spell one time a day for situations just like this.  When she stepped through the door, she'd automatically step out into the spot she'd set the receiving end a few weeks before.  Upon the moment of the portal closng it'd explode with hellfire, scorching the room and blackening the walls to make it look like a suicide instead.<br>

				<div class="bbWrapper">Gavin motioned for Tansen and Deston to follow him to the stables, intent on showing them a measure of trust by allowing them to pick from the royal horses for a nice afternoon out, when a guard came running up to them. The man was wide-eyed and covered in blood.<br>
<br>
"What is it? What is going on," Gavin demanded, his fears going to his father, his sister and Honore. Did something happen to them?<br>
<br>
"Your father," the guard gasped. "A demon! Oh, gods, the king!"<br>
<br>
Gavin pushed past the guard and ran to his father's room. By the time he got there, he had to push past the Ritter Hex. For his own safety, they held him back, but he could see the blood splattered room. He sagged in the arms of the Ritter holding him, unable to stay up in the face of his loss.<br>
<br>
The old king was dead. Long live the king.</div>

				<div class="bbWrapper">A lot of things can happen in a few moments. A life can end, a monarchy can begin. While HonorÃ©'s plights was less dire, it too had happened in a manner of moments. A wrong turn, taken too quickly, with not enough attention paid to her surroundings and her horse had gone down, and her with it. The horse had recovered quickly, as it was trained to do but HonorÃ© had taken a quick tumble, hitting her head against a tree. And when she tried to stand and walk over to the horse, she'd slipped in the same hole that had taken her horse down and twisted her own ankle. <br>
<br>
"Gods be damned...", she muttered, lying back against the ground. She'd either be here till morning when the hunt came or at least until someone noticed her gone. If anything further had gone wrong, it was likely that the hunt would be canceled, and her disappearance not even noticed. With the way things were gone, that seemed almost a certainty and she and the horse stared at each other for a moment before the horse turned to graze. "Traitor..." she muttered, although she was happy she wouldn't have to put the horse down, she was slightly disappointed that she wouldn't get a wedding night. It was true that she'd done plenty of other things beyond mere sex, but she had enough of a girlish heart to want that as well. <br>
<br>
"Come here, you..." she snatched at the reins, and Gavin would either be shocked or pleasantly surprised at the more rumbled countess as she fought to grab her horses reins while nursing an injured ankle. Finally, it was gone, and she looked the horse in the eye. "Go back to the castle. Find your brother." Their horses, like they, had been twins, which is why they were given to the girls, despite their value. It had been seen as a sign. An extremely fortuitous sign. Rising up on one foot, she slapped the rump of the horse and sent it off. If nothing else, it would seek out its brother, not because of orders, but because food was there. Hopefully someone would think something odd of a riderless, but decked out gelding coming back to the keep.</div>
