Henrietta Stumbled down the hall, carrying a multitude of dishes, and barely saying them from toppling to the ground. "Yes your majesty" and them "Yes of course madam" then "why yes m'lord" she had no Idea what she was saying yes too. She just knew that, according to the delicate swaying pocket-watch hanging from her skirt told, unquestionably, that She was late.
"I'm late! I'm late! I'm very very late" The quote reminded her of an old children's tale she had heard somewhere. She had also heard that it was about algebra. However, this was irrelenat right now as no amount of algebra could get her where she was going in time. She dodged yet another request as she ducked into the kitchen, very nearly dropped the kitchenware on the floor, and bolted into the next hallway. Hopefully, I dropped those off in the right kitchen.. she thought, absently. there were a total of six kitchens in the palace. But only one sewing room. And that was where she was headed. She put all of her weight on the heavy door and forced it open, ready to see, for the first time, the Identity of her co-conspirators. This would be their first meeting. she had set a myriad of clues around the palace, which would leave the more intelligent, and those whom agreed with her, to this spot at this time. but as the doors swung open, no one was there.

Avaron wiped the covers from her slender young body and sat up on her bed and sighed. Though she was a princess and could ask for anything she didn't, She was not happy either. As she got to her feet and went behide the dressing wall and got into her formal dress and sighed once more. Then maids came in and helped her put her corset on, tightly as usual. Then they bowed and lefted her room. One had made her bed. ''I-I would of done that...nevermind..'' She sighed then went to her mirror and put her make-up on then put a smile on her face, though it was not true and the ones close to her would see that. She then sprayed prefume on herself then left the room. She walked down to the throne room where she had to sit and listen to all her subjects with requests of help. Through out she sighed and repeated the word ''Yes''. As she finshed up there she went back to her room and got into more normal clothing. The only thing keeping her from becoming insane was running, she loved running. She was going to sneak out just to do that and a smile came to her face and lit her eyes up like a light as she got outside and ready to running down the streets of Terrion.

After Avaron ran back up from the town and got back to the castle and she fell to the floor and breathed heavily and she looked up and the sky and laid on the ground infront of the castle gate, she looked like she was in trouble but then a smile came to her face and she giggled to herself then she sat back up and talked out aloud to herself cheerfully. ''Next time I will run further!'' She then wiped sweat from her forehead and looked back out to sea and sighed.
''Maybe I will see the world some day....'' She then got to her feet and stretched her arms out as it started to rain heavily and she smiled up to the sky and allowed herself to become soaking wet.

She spun herself around alittle to the point of dizziness, though she was a princess she was not one to shy away from hard labour or rain for that matter, course she dressed pretty when she had to but in her world she was a girl who climbed trees, ran in the rain and helped workers with their work, disgused of course; Don't know what would happen otherwise. She then toppled over laughing as she was dizzy then the frount door to the big enterance went and she quietly spoke to herself as she hid in a bush. ''Oh dear.....please tell me they haven't noticed I am gone..'' She then saw the maid pass and she jumped into a open window and slipped or shoes from her petite feet along she dip-toed through the building hoping that her bodyguard, Lance would find her first. He would probably go nuts like usual.

Even thinking about it made her panic. As she reached every corner she hoped as she took her turnings to her bedroom that Lance would not be waiting....

Lance paced back and forth through the hall way how the hell could he lose the princess was the only thing that came to mind. He ooked at himself dressed in black slacks, a black cotton shirt with a white ripped fur coat, and normal boots. Lance's blonde spiky hair shimmered in the liht as e walked back to Avaron's bedroom. Looking around to see if anyone noticed as he carefully opened the door, and got in. He was embarrssed that he was in his lady's room, but never less he found a pot with some water, and carefully began to manipulate it. Walking with a snake shape of water Lance jumped up to the ceiling and placed the water under his brown boots to freeze on it.

Waiting paitenly he felt his shirt go down and was exposed all the way to his neck. Lance was suprised when the avaron opened the door to her bedroom when he had been there for only five minutes. Putting on his most disapproving face he can muster Lance fell right infront of the princess landing on his knee. Lance forgot that there was still some ice on his boots, and as he rose he slipped on it and accidentily tackled her, "ooopppsss," he uttered. "Sorry," he said as he laid over her looking at her sharply.

Avaron grinned sheepishly as Lance. Her appearance was apaulling, she was soaked to the bone and her underwear showed completely and her milky brown hair dripping wet and she laughed nervously. She then got to her feet and helped Lance up. ''I was here the whole time!'' She shouted. It was a obvious lie but she thought that she could at least try and slip her way through this one.

''I swear!'' She then saw Lance's face grow even more annoyed and she sighed. ''Fine, I was running..'' She then looked up at her ceiling and saw the ice the she looked on Lance's foot. ''Ice....again?'' She then went over to the dressing wall and throw off her soaked running clothes and slipped into a dressing gown, she was going to get into the bath after Lance had his say. She then thought to herself as she sat on the end of her bed. Wonder where that lovely maid is? Henrietta is her name! But where is she? I really want to know some secrets! She giggled to herself then she looked to Lance and grinned again and awaited his lecture.

"Thank you." Lance was grateful hat his princess had helped him up after his tackle. He listened to everything that Avaron said and knew most of it was a lie. Crap, he forgotten to turn he ice into water what was with him today. He wasn't really sure if what to say and when Avaron a got out of her running cloths and into a dress he was embarrssed when he had just stared at her getting dress. Turning away from her his face inflamed by a cherry red blush that had swept across his face.

"Why did you get out! Do you know how danger it is on the street? You could've been killed! You know princess sometimes I think you don't use your head good lord why can't get your head out of those silk dress and stars it's like you think about those more then you do about your actions." Walking to the door and punching it harder then he thought looking back at it there was a trickle of blood coming from his knuckles. Calming down looking back at Avaron his face lightened. "Listen I'm sorry that I yelled at you it... was uncalled for," apologize he kindly. Damn what was he thinking yelling at her she was above him and he yelled at her, but the king gave him a order to protect her and nothing else.

Avaron shot to her feet and ran to Lance when she spotted the blood she then ran into the bathroom and got out cloth and ran back to Lance. She then wrapped the cloth around his knuckles and rubbed his hand in a circular action and she smiled warmly up to him. ''No, I am sorry Lance. I know I shouldn't..'' She then walked over to the end of the bed and ran her fingers over the smooth silk fabric before sitting back down and then continued to speak. ''But it is the only thing I can do, t-to be happy, silly I know but....what is life without happiness.'' She said gentally looked to her feet for moment as she wiggled them the back to Lance.

''I am sorry for worrying you Lance...Next time I will tell you..'' She then sighed as a strand of her hair was in the front of her face that continued to drip then she giggled. ''Maybe I should run in before I get this wet.'' She then smiled to Lance. ''I am so lucky to have a caring man by my side like you Lance.'' She then got to her feet and got a towel from a drawer then walked towards the bathroom then stopped and looked back to Lance. ''I really wonder why your not married sometimes Lance.'' She smiled and went into the bathroom and closed the door gentally.

She then slipped back out of the dressing gown and started to fill the bath, as it got to half fulled she hopped in and started to wash as the bath continued to fill up. As it got to the point she liked it being filled she used her foot to turn the tap to stop the water. She then washed her hair and sighed as she was relaxing, she hummed to herself alittle before finishing up and getting out. Though she was a princess she never used up things if she didn't need it, she was good in that way. Sometimes she would give things away to the poor without the maids and servers knowing. She got out the bath and unplugged it, she then wrapped the towel around and picked up the dressing gown. As she got out she saw Lance still standing there in thought, she quickly slipped into relaxing wear and walked over to Lance and placed her hand on his shoulder gentally. ''Are you okay Lance?'' She asked politly in consern.

"Thank you." It seemd like he was thanking Avaron to much today. Watching her trace the smooth silk fabric of her bed, Lance changed his mood to kinder one, she was still a child in his eyes. ''I really wonder why your not married sometimes Lance.'' "Why would you say such things." The blonde knew he was the talk of some noble ladies though it didn't matter to him he would just brush of the dinner invitations. Thinking about the question Lance had known the answer for a long time he just didn't speak of it much. He looked back to the ice on the ceiling and turned it water which had made a small noise.

He heard the of the bath filling, "guess she's taking her bath". Watching Avaron walk to him in towel his cheeks turned a bright cheery red. It would've been alright if she hadn't placed her hand on his shoulder. Yea I'm fine, y-you should put some cloths on and don't come near me when your not fully dressed; if the maid was to see this he'll probably report it to your father." As he moved away Lance had slipped on he water, "thud". Opening his eyes Lan was dizzy as he got up the whole world swarmed around him, looking behind to see Avaron he said, "I'll be okay, stay in your room while I take care of something, and don't follow me." Crap. why did he say that, don't follow him, it was just like saying follow me.

He preambulated out the door and back into the hallway gliding across the tiles Lance followed the clues that were to easy to solve, he agreed with what the person was trying to do. As he moved through the hallway he saw a door that was closed and swung it open revealing a girl that looked like a servant girl standing there. "Are you the one who left the clues?"

((Oops! Forget this! I accedentially posted the same post twice ^^'' sorry))

As Avaron saw Lance swiftly take his leave she put a fist up towards the door and spoke out aloud to herself. ''He didn't even answer my damn question!'' She then sighed and walked over to the dressing wall and slipped into everyday noble wear ans she sighed for a moment and planted herself onto her bed and tried ot take the mick out of Lance and put a manish voice on. ''Stay in your room while I take care of something, and don't follow me.'' She then huffed and crossed her arms then her frown softened and she thought out aloud to herself again.

''Don't follow me? What? Why?'' She then returned the frown on her face. ''That just makes me want to follow him now...'' She then jumped to her feet with a wide grin on her preety youthful face. ''Then it is settled! I will follow him! But try and not get cause...again.'' She laughed to herself nervously as she remember the last time she tried to do it, the following thing was the easy thing...but the being caught thing was well....easy for Lance to do. She remember his scary face he had on last time, that was the most thing she didn't like. That was the most thing she worried about, even though she should worry more about getting kiddnapped or something. But she was too carefree and curious to make that her first thing to worry about.

She then ran out the door and saw Lance that he practically vanished, but she noticed that he found a new way to travel....by roof. She then nodded to herself and went to a opened arch way that led all the way to the cort yard below. She gulped and climbed onto the small wall. She held onto the pillar for dear life and spoke out aloud. ''Jeez....this is high...but he will not out smart me!'' She then went and jumped onto the nearest roof top with her bare feet, she slipped alittle but that didn't bother her to much. Some times she would think that she would probably suit being a guy for the way she acted was so tomboyish. She then jumped to the next and slipped onto her knees and cut them on the sharp shards of tiles from where Lance's boots had travelled.

She then yelped in pain. ''Ouch! Wooh! That is abit of blood...how am I going to cover this one up?'' She asked herself and sat on the roof for a bit to rest and see of the bleeding would stop. As she saw that the bleeding would not stop she sighed. ''Damn, he wins this time....looks like I am going to have to bandage my knees up for some times and wear longs dresses too...god knows what my father would do if he found out that I had been trying to climb roof tops and cut my knees up this badly...damn....he would punish me..'' She gulped as she got back to her feet and she jumped back to the ledge and swiftly got back int her room. She sighed in relief and hoped she had not been seen and she closed her double doors shut.

She hobbled to her bathroom and got some bandages, she soaked her cuts and slightly winced from the pain then wrapped the bandages onto her knees. ''Well...these are going to become small scars, well! I got call them my battle scars!'' She giggled to herself then went back into her bedroom and flopped onto her bed tired from the day. ''I should get some sleep now, since I got alot to do in the morning.'' She said aloud in a lazy tone of voice as she hobbled her way to the dressing wall and changed into sleep wear and crawled into bed. She pulled the covers up to her face and turned to her left side and closed her eyes slowly and soon after fell asleep.

Henrietta had grown weary of sitting alone in the room, wondering if everyone in the palace was too damn dense for her clues. They were simple too. So why in the name of Lyrimos was no one here? That was when the door swung open, widely and loudly. She ushered them inside without second thought and closed the door behind them. "Yeah, I left the clues. sit down, make yourself at... sewing room." she said, motioning toward the needle-ridden chairs. "Are you alone?" he said, knowing him to be the girls bodyguard. "She better not be here with you. She cannot know. Not yet." she said, looking out the window, blankly. She turned her gaze to the newcomer. To her endless surprise, her eyes were met by those filled with the power of a goddess. That was odd. Her powers of insight did not fail her, of course, in this moment. Her mother, Lokiata, sometimes seemed to wish her ill fate, but Henrietta still found a certain insight to every mind. And his was filled with a bloody goddess. She cocked her head at him.
"what in the name of bloody hell...." she murmured, confused.
But it wasn't his mind itself.... she mused, curious.
"Anyway. Tell me everything you know."

Watching the servant girl, with his blue eyes, Lance kept calm when the girl had asked him the questions. He looked around the sewing room and seeing that they were the only ones in there Lance made his way to a chair and sat down. "Yes I have come alone and she did not follow me," he said calmly. Watching Henrietta walk to the window and gaze ouy it Lance realized that she was still a teen that probably was 17 or 18 years of age, who probably wanted her way, although Lance wanted to see Avaron on the throne instead of her sister. The spiky haired blond was confused by the girls question, what was he suppose to tell her.

"Well lets see, you want us to try to put Ava on the throne instead of her rude and arrogant sister," he said only the short side of the whole mission. Lance usually dropped the formalties when a person higher then him, wasn't in the room. Looking at Hex, his eyes sparkling, Lance was suprised that no one had arrived before him. The male tapped the floor softly in the hopes of passing the time. Man, he really should have healed his hand with some water on the way to the sewing room, but he couldn't risk someone seeing that.

Looking up to the girl, his blue as the ocean were looking at her sharply. Moving his hand back and forth on the chair he decided to ask a question of is own. "So when is the rest coming, or are they so stupid that they couldn't follow the directions?" He knew that the question would be hard to answer since no one can guess the nature of a person they barely knew, though Lance knew many things about Avaron since he was her bodyguard for five years. Rolling his shoulders a litle to get the cramps the male yawned, he hadn't gotten enough sleep last night, and was still in need of it .

Henrietta sighed "No, instead of her stupid arrogant brother. Women are not allowed to rule." she sighed once more. "You would think that the princess's bodygaurd would know more than the serving girl. But then, she was there, at every convention, collecting information. "We will wait for others. for now, let me tell you what I know." she said, sitting down and motioning him to do the same.
"The king and queen are having marital problems. we can use this to our advantage in weakening the throne's grip on the people. I can deal with their spymaster, don't you worry. I will hive him pure hell" A smile crossed her lips.
"We will use these and other thing to move the people to a rebellion of some sort. With that distraction we will be able to take out those who stand before the throne, and " she explained
"Well, that is one possibility. No matter what, we will have to be killing the prince, and likely his parents." She cringed. She knew that Ava, the kindhearted soul she was, would free her and many others from slavery.
"Also, we must spread the conviction that she is meant to be queen" she paused "Many other things must be done, but I hate to waste my breath"


((I did not explain clearly that they are slaves (the bodygaurd being an exception) though this is to make their purpose more justified, not because slavery is fun to add to rp's (which it isn't)))

Lance had nodded at everything he heard, the girl knew her stuff. She was right that the king, and queen were having martal problems, Lance did see the king take a maid to a closet, during his round around the castle. "Well by the looks of it I'll probably be the one to kill the king and prince along with the general although I'll probably train a few to help me with that," Lance said while he stopped tapping the floor with his boot, she was probably getting annoyed with that. Though what she said was interesting, the king and queens spy master was a tricky bastard. Looking at the girl keenly Lance was curious to know what she could do, by her appearance she didn't seem like the person you'd find in combat.
"Well I hope the rest comes soon, before I have to take my round around this forsaken castle," he said. He was woried about Ava, if her parents were to find out about this ploy then they might get rid of her and that was something that Lance couldn't stand, he'd go into a blood lust if it were to happen. Looking out the window Lance was feeling the urge to exit out of the castle and go to a temple Rienda, to pray for the safety of his princess and the success of this rebellion.

Henrietta nodded. "Indeed. But you need listen well; when it comes time to take them out, it may be best for you to take part in the distraction. Of course, I have no idea, given that I do not yet no who will join us. But, I promise, We will have no trouble avoiding discovery." She was raised for several years under her father- a spymaster in his own right, though granted in another kingdom. She knew her way about these things. She knew a good bit more about that which happened in the palace, some of it gossip, some important, but you had to be careful with information, and regardless it hardly seemed relevant now.
