Snippet #1282142

"Fahn and I will go to the stables. She can distract Phillip while I snag the manure." Hoooooolllllld up. When did this become part of the plan? Hana opened her mouth to object, but her objections were immediately pushed aside. I know the situation's dire, but do we really need Fahn to distract him? I'm I could distract him myself and Latika could just give the medicine... Hana let out a disappointing sigh, but there was no arguing here. Fahn was the best when it came to distracting people. Even women and men with ambiguous sexualities turn their heads at Fahn. It was impossible not to turn your head at her.Oh well, there's no point arguing about it now. I can get back at her later. Of course it wasn't like she could just completely ignore her jealousy. Teenage girl crushes were impossible to completely ignore.

Hana looked at her sister, Latika. "I guess we might as well start planning." Taking a piece of blank paper and a pen off Jo's desk, Hana drew a very detailed map. She didn't forget a single piece of detail. Every hiding spot was clearly labeled. It ranged from hiding under tables, behind shelves, inside cabinets, you name it. "So daddy's probably going to be in his throne room, putting on his armor. We'll go through this hallway, turn here, left here, through the storage room, along this path, and eventually we'll get there. This is the one of the fastest ways to get there without being noticed. Along the way we can hide under here, in here"... and so continued long list of hiding spots. "If the bedroom is locked, we can use the room next to it, and scoot across the windows sill. Daddy always keeps his windows open. Remember, we have to be really quiet and move quickly. If any of the servants see us walking around with some strangely colored liquid that also has a weird smell, we're bound to be caught.

Izzy had awoken that night from a loud crash outside her window. Peering out, she smiled on her face. "Ohoho. What do we have here?" Blackmail wasn't out of the question. Though Izzy wasn't completely evil, she was ruthless. And blackmail was just a tool. It's not like she was really hurting anyone. Now that she was awake anyways, Izzy decided there was no point in sleeping. Putting on her dance outfit, which was entirely different than the formal wear the princesses were expected to wear. Normally, the princesses' outfit composed of a long dress with long sleeves. For formal events, sure they were needed, but do I really need to wear them all the time? Her dance outfit was much more tighter, allowing her to dance without tripping. Flipping her auburn hair into one spot, she managed to easily tie it into a pony tail.

Unlike Hana, Izzy was given much more freedom. Well not exactly. The servants and guards were just afraid of her, so they never reported her. Walking down the hallway, she past several guards. Each one quivered in fear, stood aside, and bowed to her. It was a spectacular sight to behold, a bunch of grown men bowing to an unarmed fourteen year old girl. Nowadays, you never see fourteen year olds getting that much respect. Anyways, Izzy continued down the hallway. Like the rest of her sisters, she had a favorite spot. Izzy's spot was an unused storage room, next to the room of the castle's band. She never understood why they even bothered practicing. Her sister Gi, had more talent than all of them combined. But it was nice having music to accompany her dancing. It gave her a beat to dance to.

Izzy began by standind in a strange position with her head held low. Then she continued to sway her hand with her index finger pointing up, before she stopped and quickly extended her hand out and snapped. The rest of the dance was continued with sharp moves, a very flawless dance. Forgive me for not describing the dance in much detail, it is very difficult. By the time she had finished her morning practice, the castle was booming with life. As she exited the room, she was greeted by a servant.

"Eeeeexcuse mm-me..."

"Spit it out now, I don't have time to stand here all day."

"T-the k-king requires-ires you-u in the di-dining ha-hall."

"Fine."

The servant let out a sigh of relief. Serving for Izzy was potentially very dangerous. You could lose your job for even the slightest mistakes.

As the king finished his announcement, Izzy realized how stupid he was. What does he plan on doing? The Yonador army could probably destroy him, especially since he wasn't taking all his troops. Was he daft? That is a plan that could only result in failure! But a glimpse of her sister, Jo, made Izzy feel a little better. Despite her bookish nature, Izzy had a deep respect for Jo. She was intelligent and her plans were flawless. There was absolutely no way, her sisters would allow their father to do such a thing. She made her way across the hallways, seeing her sisters having a special hallmark moment. Izzy was never good with these type of things, so she waited, before proceeding into Jo's room.

Jo then related the plan to all her sisters. "Itosha and Evania can get the pumpkin blossoms, from the courtyard." Simple enough. There was no way servants or knights would stop them from getting the blossoms. At the hearing of Fahn distracting Phillip, Izzy giggled.

"Ooh! I smell a cat fight! How simply exciting!" Izzy said in a signature sarcastic tone. Hana, along with a few other sisters, briefly turned towards Izzy.

"Well not, I must go collecting some blossoms!" And without even waiting for Evania, Izzy dashed out of the room.
