I'm going to go talk to the kids." [/color]Nearly running down the stairs she came close to sliding down them. Barging into the children's room she squeezed in and shook Alastair and once both were awake she started. [color=f6989d]"I have made a decision that concerns you both."[/color] She looked from one kid's eyes to the other's. [color=f6989d]"For your safety and by extension my own I hereby declare you no longer royal. You will not be addressed by anything other than your names or a pirate nickname. No more "Your majesty, or m'lady" unless they are being normally polite. No more Prince or Princess. It is not safe for you on land or sea. The enemy that attacked us will be looking for you and your father and he will now be called your father and nothing else until he wakes up."[/color] [color=f6989d]"You will do as the captain or the crew asks as long as it's dignified." [/color]She waited. Alastair would probably like it but Not his sister. [@Animera]
