Snippet #2544330

Serai observed Thalia very carefully and smiled. "I think that young girl is smiling right now dear one. I quite agree this dark being has an agenda and will not stop." She quietly turned and observed Marek and Locien guarding at a distance. The Queen gave an amused smile then, she knew how to have some fun with this.

"I will accept the alliance, but let's have a bit of fun, I'm one for a gamble. I see your Bodyguards have quite the weaponry." She hinted with a small smirk. "Why not come to my palace later in the evening. I like to judge those who follow the sword, and here's my wager. If I win in a small duel, I will still join the alliance. If I lose the duel, I will be in the alliance, plus possibly gain someone I find worthy to court with."

Marek spat out his drink in surprise as Locien calmly looked at his hand, pondering if that was a good idea. Cildur on the other hand gave a small silent nod of approval. "Very Well. I accept that offer. And I assure you, you'll have a splendid match."


"I think he is trying to force me into it. He's got another thing coming if he's throwing me under that bull. Marek can easily do it too!" Locien thought in slight annoyance, plus he had a distinct feeling that he might need more then luck to avoid this evening's events.
