Snippet #1311461

Lucian

Lucian let a small smirk stretch across his face at his lords new... predicament, and was glad his helmet hid it from the world. He was curious as to what he would do seeing as his wife and children were know asking for max, although as far as royal guards go he was average, his skills with a blade were high but he was inexperienced as far as the others go in war. His abilities however in attracting the princesses and even now the queen were unmatched it seemed. When the guard max had taken the blade and waved its point, he had clicked his blade from its sheath not drawing it, but allowing it to be drawn quickly if needed, although he had no intention of doing so as he had a feeling it was more for the dramatics of intimidation than anything else.

Closing his eyes, he knew it would be useless to argue, so moving his hand he began to unclasp his white cloak that had his rank on it, and gently fold it. To watch two spoiled brats... to be exiled... to be demoted, but he would do his duty none the less. Laying the neatly folded the white cloak on the ground, and climbed into the second carriage sitting down with his back to the front. He didn't intended to bring anything, because in truth he had nothing. He had never settled down; his entire life had been about war... all he had was what he wore his coin purse (which the amount he will not tell anyone), and his blade; shield, and halberd although he was leaving the latter here as for such a small guard entourage the weapon would be close to useless.

Charles

The king glanced between the confrontation, and was well aware of Lucian preparing to disembark behind him, closing his eyes he spoke softly "I am sorry love, but I did make a promise that they could chose, and so they have. I question their choosing abilities, but I cannot in good mind take back my word. Lucian will be going with them, so I do not fear for their safety, however, I entrust him to also keep a close watch on Max to ensure that dignity and virtue are left intact. As such, Teacake will have no say over Lucian, I will entrust his command only to Rose as she is the more level headed of the two. Guard Max will listen to both equally. Since Teacake was given your trinket I assume this will be a equal trade off. Guards listen up, they will be your ladies, they say jump do not ask how high, just jump. You will only be able to act on your own if their orders endanger their lives. Max if you attempt to run, I will have you hunted down and executed. I will spare no expense in having you hunted down."

Moving he glanced at his wife, shanna and bowed his head "I am sorry my love, but my word is my oath. If you want anything else name it, and it shall be yours."
