    The maid rolled her eyes. "That's Nicolae for ya... I'm sorry, miss. I woulda thought he'd know better than to get in with the queen-to-be..."
  2. Zephrun’s Imperium
    "I did, yes. But I got the day off, I did, so... maybe it's not all bad."

    Nicolae smiled faintly. "Oh, 'lo there, Katie."
  4. Zephrun’s Imperium
    Nicolae sighed heavily, his previous fire of emotion completely burned out. He wasn’t annoyed, he wasn’t angry, he wasn’t bubbly, he just felt dead. Even his self-loathing had dimmed, if only just slightly. Stars, what a morning... Ah, you’re alright, Nicolae. Deep breaths, yeah? You’re alright...
  5. Zephrun’s Imperium
    Nico's anger dissolved. "I... thank you..." He hung his head and took a shaky breath. "I'll... You doesn't need to provide anything, I can... Thank you."

    "She assumed I would, so I..." He growled in frustration, holding back tears. His head hurt. He'd been embarrassed beyond belief. Stars take my soul, I can't keep this up...

    "No, I ain't drunk, you know I doesn't drink on the job, sir." He bit his lip. "I went down to dress her, sir, your Eleanor, and then..." His eyes narrowed.

    Nicolae sniffed, his frame shaking. Though he didn't cry, his eyes looked betrayed. "You set me up, didn't you?"
  9. Zephrun’s Imperium
    There came a knock at the door and before Nicolae could protest, a young woman let herself in. "Good morning, Lady Eleanor. I'm-" Nicolae and the girl locked eyes and there was a terrible moment of awkwardness. "Am I... interrupting something?" the maid asked. "Oh, Stars...." Nicolae buried his face in his hands. "I was assigned to help Lady Eleanor get ready this morning, but if you-" "No, no, no, no, no, I'm... Oh, this isn't..." Nicolae ran out of the room in tears, leaving a confused maid in a quiet room. Tears of sadness were immediately replaced with red-faced, storming anger. He set me up, that old bastard! Nicolae marched right back to the king's quarters, wiping the tears off his face. He knew yelling at the man would be a poor idea, but the injustice was too much to ignore. He knocked on Ivian's door, fists clenched.

    "Oh, you has a sister?" Nico gestured for her to give him the next layer.
  12. Zephrun’s Imperium
    "Yeah, yeah..." Nicolae found his bashfulness replaced with bitter as he helped her get it over her head. "Had servants to do this for ya, yeah?"
  13. Zephrun’s Imperium
    "Oh, ah..." Nico blushed. "You'll have to be patient with me, miss, I've never really..." He cleared his throat and approached her to help.

    Riva was in a bad mood. And that wasn't healthy for anyone. She flagged down the man who cleaned up her torturing stations. "Excuse me," she said, "did you get rid of that woman who died this morning? She would have had blood on her face; quite a lot of it." "I was just about to do that, miss," said the older man. He'd worked here for quite a while and though he did have a healthy fear of the woman who employed him, he was not nearly as timid as most were when they spoke to the Raveness. "Was there something you needed to check with the potion's effects?" "Not exactly." She cracked her knuckles. "If I try to work right now, I'll kill something, and that's no good for extracting confessions. I'd rather stab something that can move, but I'll settle for a corpse." The janitor nodded. "Very wise, miss. If I may... what's troubling you?" "None of your concern. Go take a break, Daku." "As you wish, Lady Raven..." He bowed and departed, letting Riva get her hands dirty.

    "Of course. Your Majesty." Riva gracefully bent down to pick up her mask, then left, the sound of her heels betraying her anger.
  18. Zephrun’s Imperium
    Riva raised an eyebrow. "You would really kill me over not wedding this man?"
  19. Zephrun’s Imperium
    "And what would that gain you?" Riva sneered.
  20. Zephrun’s Imperium
    Her back straightened and she glared. "Am I not always a threat?"
  21. Zephrun’s Imperium
    Riva put her hand on Ivian's shoulder, digging her nails into his skin. "If you marry me off, I swear you will regret it. You rule an unstable kingdom and the fear I culture is quite often the only thing standing between you and death. Why do you think Darrin was the first assassin you've faced in years, hmm?"
  22. Zephrun’s Imperium
    "There will be no wedding," Riva hissed, "or so help me you will rue the day you were born."
  23. Zephrun’s Imperium
    Riva wished for nothing more than to grab the king by the throat and strangle him. Unfortunately, however, she was perfectly aware that if she tried such a thing he would easily be able to throw her to the side. Instead, she threw down her mask, half hoping her ugly countenance would scare off the general. "This is an OUTRAGE! I refuse to marry him!"
  24. Zephrun’s Imperium
    Riva growled behind her mask. "My age has not hindered me from delivering results and when it does, I will tell you as much. But that is not your concern. I will not settle down, not with that brute of a man!"
  25. Zephrun’s Imperium
    "Ivian, if this is some sort of prank, I don't find it particularly amusing," Riva growled, fists clenched. She strode up to the king. "I am not some noblewoman to be married off for any political gain; I am the Raveness and I could dispose of you - BOTH of you - any number of ways, or don't you remember?"
