alrighty then . . .

March tried to stop his approach but was too slow.

June screamed loudly as a sickening crack echoed through the room. August winced from where he was sitting.

"How is that better?" March asked, "I still have to kill him."

2 minutes ago, Ookla the Mom Friend said:

Her face shifted slightly sadder at December's comment, and she quietly answered, "Yes," to September.

December didn't really seem to notice.

He nodded thoughtfully, "That makes sense, as they're sort of like dreams . . . My father won't be happy it's not a quicker process though."

he smirks, writes down "You can cause him pain this way. the break will heal within a month if you set it right, and you can do this over and over again. this is often worse than death. unless all you want to do is separate the body from the head, be my guest, but at least make it a spectacle."

"I-I'm sure it'll be fine . . ."

December glanced out of the window, "We'll be there soon, do you know what the plan is?"

"Not really, I think he wants to use you to catch February off-guard, but that's all."

She nodded, "I expected as much."

March just stared at him.

"I'm not sadistic or anything!! He needs to die because that's the law, period. I don't need a spectacle, I just need justice to be carried out."

The carriage had now reached the outskirts of Jouken.

"yes, but why have laws? its better to have a central authority who is wise and creates the laws and they change with the ruler? I mean, thats how my monastery works." he looks like he honestly believes this, and cannot understand why thats not the case everywhere else.

March sighed and ran a hand over his face, "He just MURDERED our 'CENTREL AUTHORITY', as you put it. So I'm going to kill him, because that's what Father would have wanted. This is not complicated!"

The carriage pulled around the palace, arriving a in a smaller back-area that looked like it was used for food delivery and that sort of thing. It rolled to a stop and there was a few moments of silence were nothing happened.

Arke froze, stared at june, looked at March, chuckles a little bit, then notes "well then, go ahead." and steps back. he cant argue with that logic. however, he does pat June on the head before rolling his eyes and walking off.

but then promptly turns around and puts himself in front of June again, looks up at March, and writes down "But now that central authority is dead, and you havent obtained a new one"

"I'm glad you're all being so cooperative! Hopefully we can resolve this so that it all ends quickly," February said kindly. "It's been a long day after all, who'd have thought things would turn out like this . . ."

March glanced at everyone, "I'll get it done with then."

February nodded, "Yes, best to do it first."

March turned to approach June and July, who were still standing near the doors, blocked by soldiers. July looked like he was in a bit of a daze, and June was still gripping his arm.

Less then gently, March grabbed July and pushed him towards February, ripping him out of June's grip. He let February pull him away from the doors, he still seemed shaken up.

"What are you doing?!" June asked, "Don't hurt him."

"We're not going to hurt him June," February explained, hands still on June, "He's not that one who committed murder."

June paled. He really had no way out of this.

March raised his already drawn sword.

"W-wait you can't do anything to me without challenging me to a duel first! Remember the contract?"

"I think the murder of my Father is challenge enough," March said with a cold gleam in his eyes. 

February didn't contest him.

"Wait-!" she started.

Then proceeded to disbelievingly watch the ensuing insanity.

Why did June kill the emperor again?

Jan came around and unlocked the door. He pulled December out, and then closed the door again. Through the window, she could see them both enter the palace.

"He'll come get us if he needs us . . ." September explained quietly.

"Yeah, It'll just be October or something, the rules aren't going to change," March said casually.

"Thank you for you confidence brother!" October said from across the room.

June killed the emperor because he just agreed to send July away for long time and he really really can't handle that.

Plus the fact that the emperor is kind of the source of all of his problems . . . sending July away was the final straw, really.

She brought her knees to her chest. (Even if he couldn’t see her move, he could hear the motion, as it was otherwise silent.)

I do, but the way she sees it is he is her superior. Until otherwise told, she will see the situation as “January is my master now, and September is his heir. I won’t speak to either unless spoken to”

We could say he hears her breathing quickly and asks if she’s alright

I understand that, and saw it in your other post, hooooooowever . . . . 

he doesn't really have a reason to talk to her, unless you can think of something. This is an opportunity for your character to do something, and if she does nothing that's fine, but getting him to change sides is something she has to instigate. Is this really not a chance she would take? Even if it risked getting in trouble with Jan?

September's not going to hand this to her, is what I'm trying to say.

Rye comes up with a cool new invention in his head.

"Do you mind if I use this corner of the throne room?" he asks the guards, gesturing to the darkest and dirtiest (yet still mostly spotless) part of the room.
