<looking for a female writer to write for the Queen will be looking to add both male and female npc roles you would find in a AU royal court (circa 1500's) ...looking for more than a line a time...please PM first>
Asbar King was dying ,aged and weak he spent his days in bed , barely aware of his surroundings. His trusted doctor was allowed access to the King but beyond that single visitor the kings son allowed no one to contact his father. Not even his fathers wife , the Queen who had no power in her own right.
Simon Prince of the Ahsant sat on a soft chair in his private quarters, he had just turned 18 yet for the last two years he had worn the mantle of leader of his people in all but name. He was a skilled horse man and swordsman thou his body was not of a powerful built like many of the warriors in his own army. His hair was long and lank , he smiled rarely.
Looking at the latest message from his step mother begging for an audience made him sigh...he had no love for her thou her beauty was great , his spys told him she took many lovers both male and female despite publically proclaiming her devotion to his father.
His spys also told him that she planned to do what ever she had to , to avoid two fates he controlled.....the first the ritual of Sah when the wife of a king who has just died joins her husband on the funeral pyre to serve him in the after life.... unless of course the new king grants her life.
The second fate if life is granted ,is a life in a nunnery until the day she dies with no servants to attend her, unless the of course the new king takes her as his wife .
Simon made a note and moved to the next bit of paper work, he would allow the woman to see him in a hours time. A trusted servant picked up the note and left for the Queens chambers a few moments later.
