[color=f7941d]Location: Meraton Royal Palace, Meraton, Khomeria[/color]

Ixyan, the 8th of Gerna 1200 AU - 08.03.1200[/center]


Remis' steps rang out through the quiet hallwaw, nobody there daring to speak to her or Mertenis and just stare away from the two. Remis has had a reputation in the palace and through Khomeria as she seemingly knew everything that happened around the kingdom. And she remembered, knowledge is power and at her current level of knowledge, she was more powerful than her brother herself.

Two palace guards pass by her nod to her before going past her. In return she smiled at them and went on her way into the throne room, accompanied by Mertensis. The lord who sat on the throne was Lord Maridan Steelskin and older brother to Mertensis. On the throne to his left, usually occupied by the king's wife was Lord Leimar Shattershield. Odd enough, Lord Fokas was missing, despite knowing that refusing the king would have dire consequences.

Remis smiled at Lord Leimar and Maridan and spoke in a respectful manner, yet she clearly mocking the two. "Lord Maridan, Lord Leimar, had I known you two married I would've brought gifts!" She said to the two smiling.

Lord Leimar started growling and was about to speak, but Lord Maridan stopped him and smiled politely at Remis and ignored her comment. "My lady, glad you could join us today!" He said. "I would like to have a word with you!"

"About?" She asked raising a brow. "Let me guess, now that you two have the power, you want to be rid of me, correct?" She asked, still smiling.

Lord Leimar showed genuine surprise at hear her words and wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Maridan. "Right as always, my lady." He answered. "But not because we simply wish so, no, but because y..."

"You think that I made lord Fokas disappear, correct?" She asked yet again with a wide smile, nobody would really out do her when it came to information, she knew what these two had planned all along.

Now, even Lord Maridan seemed slightly surprised, but came back too again fairly quickly. "You are quite informed, my lady, yes, we charge you with the kidnapping and possible assassination of Lord Protector of Vermilias, Fokas Stormborn!" Maridan said smiling victoriously now. "Guards, seize her at once, she will be jailed until King Dorias returns and decides what to do with her!"

However, the guards did not move at all and simply stood in their place, ignoring Lord Maridan's orders. "My lord, you must more stupid than Lord Leimar over here if you think that you could bribe the palace guards here in Meraton to arrest me."

To this, Lord Maridan opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Remis again. "Though I do have to give you credit for disguising your men to look like the guards of Meraton when having ambushed Lord Fokas, isn't that correct, my lord?"

One of the guards at the gate removed their helmet, revealing to be Lord Fokas himself and approached Remis. "Yes, my lady, they had me fooled as well when they ambushed me and killed my guards!" He said, glaring at Lord Leimar and Lord Maridan.

"But in the end, you two were the fools for thinking that you could outsmart me right here in Khomeria, where I know what even the lowliest of peasants had for dinner or what their aspirations are." She said. "And now, my lords, I can have the both of you imprisoned and maybe even executed for high treason... what do you say?"

Now, the two lords seemed utterly terrified, their hands shaking. When either of the two tried to speak, their mouths opened, but yielded no words. "However, instead, I will kick the both of you out of here and will ask my brother to remove the two of you from the heads of your families... I suggest finding a cozy place to rest, maybe Wyvern Keep?" She asked the two lords. Both of the men rose from their thrones, Lord Leimar speaking in an unsteady and shaky tone.

"You'll, p-pay for t-this you vileborn!" He says storming out of the palace along with the stunned Lord Steelskin. All this time, Remis had smiled at the two lords, however, as soon as the two left, Lord Fokas began speaking. "They're going to accuse you of injustice and revolt, my lady." He spoke, now having taken a seat on the throne to the right of the king's throne.

Remis, sitting on the main throne answered with her ever present smile on her face. "Oh, they'll certainly think they will, but they'll find that trying to fight me will end up with them either disowned, or killed." She said. "And worry not, all of this was planned by me, my lord, anything they think they're gonna do on their own volition in truth be something I indirectly guided them to do."

With a heavy sigh, Lord Fokas nods and speaks. "My lady, you are a truly scary person indeed." He says. "I am truly glad that I am on your side and not theirs."

"But what are you speaking, Lord Fokas, you are with the king, not with Lady Remis, those two are just traitors seeking to usurp the king Kammeth has chosen for this land of ours." Mertenis speaks, smiling as Remis did.

"Hush the two of you, lady Armonia should be here soon with a request from us to help her rid of the vilespawn that will soon assault her precious fort."
