A Fantasy Kingdom

[Jeselynn]

Queen Jeselynn



Walking into the Banquet Hall, Garrett at my side. Ever ready.. his body tense and eyes looking at everyone.. I bowed and then moved towards my seat.


'Let us all feast, for we are all friends and have this amazing meal in front of us.' i spoke

Sir Garrett

I walk in with the Queen, and stand to her right as she sits at the head table. I won't be able to eat as I need to watch the people in here for any treachery. Aethelwulf is standing to the Queen's left, there are two guards at each entrance and the 10 man detachment is ready behind the tapestry that is behind the head table.

Shane

he blinked ..musta fell asleep he seen people gathered in the room now and he stood up looking around then grabbed some balls and started juggleing them some as he looked around to see who all was there

 

[Lacewing]

Enter a new gal

She walked in with royal air, her dress the hieght of court fashion yet oviously special made for her and revieling yet covering, layers of glimmering gauze in the black of mourning. She gave a high look over the crowds before seeking a seat at the higher tables Oviously a noble woman of some birth. As she walked there trailed a light sent of expensive and well worn fregrance.


(OOC:

Countess Helideran D'Auber
She's pretty in an athletic way.
VERY snotty. New inheritance of her property. Small Island called "Desire" they specialized in making exsotic fregrance

Tonight is her 18th birthday. She just lost her father and is the only remaining member of her family

Daniel enters the hall readily aware of the eyes upon him. William almost pushes him into the great hall.

"Eyes ahead and pretend there is nobody looking at you."

Daniel knew better, most of the people in the hall had been idly chatting with each other, however with the appearance of the elf, dressed as he was the talk had stopped for a few moments. Daniel bowed to the Queen and nodded in as submissive a posture as he could conjure up at a moments notice towards the strong lord Garrett. He then moved over to the side of the hall, aware of the eyes that were upon him. Something just didn't feel right to him. He looked over to Garrett, trying to gain his attention. Failing at that, he unslung his small wooden lyre, and started to sing to the Queen's honor. He was failed to notice that the broach that William had given him had begun to glow and emit it's own light that was plain to see by most of the audience.

 

[Jeselynn]

Queen Jeselynn



I watched as the elf walked in.. he seemed nervous.. standing 'please join me,' my voice carried across the room. 'I have saved you a seat here. For our only elf in attendance'

 

[Lacewing]

The young noble woman watched the entrance of the others. Seemed the party was to start. She hoped it would be good since she herself was looking at it as a sort of impromtu birthday party. Only without pressents since she had no family to throw one for her.

She was alos using this as a way to intraduce herself to teh court in general. Since she now ran the island and the perfumes tehre. Let them see a face and know that face to be the ruler of her little peice of land.

 

[airborne92]

Sir Garrett

I stand by the Queen's side, my hand never far from the hilt of my sword. I watch the people as they enter the banquet hall, and watching the balcony overlooking the hall itself. The nobles assembling were mostly those that wanted the throne for themselves, at any cost. I knew that Aethelwulf was as loyal to the Queen as I was, which is why he stood on the other side of her.

 

[tomasu]

Samoht

IC:<Samoht was pleased to see his inside man enter the banquet hall finally. He was dressed as a server and was carrying many cups of wine and ale on a platter. He began placing cups on in front of the lords and whatnot. He then came to the queen, bowed deeply, then set a cup in front of her. As he turned his back and walked away, he couldn't help my smile.>

 

[Lacewing]

She drummed her fingers on the table bored. Banquets always boring unless you were the one running it.

So she looked around in hopes to find someone to talk to. She didn't see anyone she could spot as important enough to talk to at the moment. No neighbors to her lands. Not even any atractive men without a lady on their arm already.

Such a drag.

 

[Jeselynn]

Queen Jeselynn


giggling and motioning for the music to begin. i took a chalais, and looking inside i saw it was red wine... 'Waiter, take this away. only grape juice' i spoke.


'Garrett, please have him return quickly..'

 

[tomasu]

damn picky-ness

IC: <Samoht swore in his mind, seeing the queen turn back her drink. His hired man took back the cup and turned away from the crowd. He looked up to Samoht and shrugged to him. Samoht gave a menacing glare back and made a 'cutting throat' motion across his neck, pointing at the man.>

<He was obviously nervous and started talking to himself. No doubt, thinking on what to do next. Turning back to the table, he bumps into another waiter. The other man trips to the ground while Samoht's hired hand spins around, barely holding onto the tray with all the drinks. He steadies himself, making sure he didn't drop any of the drinks.>

<Wiping the sweat from his brow, he grabs a cup from the plate to quench his thirst. He gulps it down and gives a gasp out loud, realising which cup he just drank from.>

<Samoht smacked his forehead with his palm and cursed some more at the incompetence in his men.>

 

[Jeselynn]

Queen Jeselynn


Hearing a loud crash...
I looked towards Garrett he moved to reveil the server on the floor. 'What has happened?' I asked..


'Please everyone, quiet.' I spoke above the crowd.

 

[Lacewing]

The young dutches watched the server fall with interest. Maybe this ball wasn't going to be so boring after all. She stood hips swaying as she walked to the side of the room to get a better view. Looking aorund she spotted another man looking on from the shadows then blinks. An assasin?

 

[Suikodude007]

A knight of about 20 winters of age walked into the room. He wore shining silver armor with a rearing lion on his chest. He was powerfully built. He had a handsome face with deep, introspective blue eyes. He had clean cut jet black hair. A cross shaped scar was on his right cheek.

 

[airborne92]

Sir Garrett

"Aethelwulf, stay by the Queen" I say as I move around the front of the table. I kneel down to see what has happened. I have seen the effects of poison before, and know that is what has happened. He had the goblet in his hand still. I recognized it as the one he had just given the Queen moments before.

"He drank some poisoned wine Your Majesty. I believe that it was meant for you" I say to her as I rise.

"Guards seal this room immediately!" I bellow out. I had seen the waiter making gestures to someone hidden in the room. Now I had an assassin to find.

 

[Suikodude007]

He sighed. Because he just arrived, the people would probably blame him for the poisoning.

 

[Jeselynn]

Queen Jeselynn


Standing from my seat, I raised forth to reiterate Garrett's command, 'Seal all the doors and windows.'


Looking around the room I sat back down, letting the weight of the situation grip me and as i began thinking... 'where is that baron? I want to see him right NOW!' i yelled

 

[Lacewing]

She went and leaned against the pillars and raised a brow, if the killer was of any decentness he'd be gone by now. Either way this was highly interesting to watch.

 

[tomasu]

Escape?

<Samoht was perched up in the corner of the room. There were more guards than he expected. Like an idiot, he didn't consider the fact that there might possibly be more than a couple guards.>

<He looked at ever possible exit. There had to be a window somewhere that he could break through. It's not possible that there isn't ANY way out of here. A window, a door, a chimney... whatever!>

<Maybe a hostage is his only way out.>

 

[Lacewing]

She moved back standing to stare around the room with her normal cold gaze as people began to panic or chatter excitedly among themselves.

Such fools.

She stroled to the corner of the room and stood near the fireplace and waited for the commotion to settle. She had quite enough of the party and wanted to retire to her own room in the town before heading home again. It seemed this trip was a total waist of her time.

 

[Suikodude007]

The unknown knight walks up to the woman who was obviously the queen. "Can you tell me what has happed your Highness?"

(ooc- going to bed, night)

 

[tomasu]

Last Resort

IC: <Looks like this is his chance!>

<With amazing speed, Samoht lept down from his pearch and landed behind the woman standing near the fireplace. He wrapped one arm around her shoulder to keep her arms still and whiped out a dagger wih the other and held it to her temple.>

<The crowd gasped and screamed as Samoht made himself known.>

"Back off! Or I will kill this whore!"

<The crowd backed off as Samoht walked slowly to the nearest window, which looked over the garden in the front of the castle.>

"Fare well!"

<Samoht, with girl in hand, lept through the glass to started falling towards the garden floor.>

 

[Lacewing]

The young dutches screamed as they went flying out the window.

This was NOT what she had planed to do on her birthday!

 

[airborne92]

Sir Garrett

I rush to the window the assassin went out. I can see him heading for the gate.

"Seal the gates. Archers kill that cowardly dog, he just tried to kill the Queen" I yell out to the guards at the gate.

I jump out the window and give chase. He will die or be my prisoner in a moment.
