Maddie considered it and then nodded. The Countess, even with her limited interaction, knew more about Lilie than she so Maddie decided to trust her judgement. They had a one in four chance on the mages so Lilie it was. Maddie picked up a chip and tapped it on the table for a moment before laying it gently on Lilie’s picture. She was a pretty girl that was true though she doubted her hair choice did her any favors. But hormones never cared about the color of someone’s hair, Maddie supposed. 

[color=deepskyblue]“Are we sure that’s the choice we make?”[/color] The smirking dealer crooned. [color=deepskyblue] “Last call for bets.”[/color] Maddie bit her lip and nearly nodded until a thought occurred to her. He said appropriate faces. As in, more than one face could be chosen. Maddie was curious but she’d voice the idea to the Countess next round. She had a sneaking suspicion the game was rigged in their favor. For now.

[color=FC8686]“That is the Countess’ choice.”[/color] Maddie said softly and the dealer nodded, humming as he pulled the first card: The Kill Card. With a flourish, he slapped down Ralmevik. [color=deepskyblue]“Lucky, lucky. No lost chips!”[/color] A counter on the abacus next to his name flew from one side to the next. He drew another card from the box and slapped it down, revealing Aaron and just like before, a counter next to Aaron’s name flew from one side to the other.. [color=deepskyblue]“Well, not so lucky I guess. No winners, no losers, this round goes even!”[/color] He pushed the chips back to the girls. The two cards vanished and the dealer held up two fingers.

[color=deepskyblue]“A house divided cannot stand and yet it does, again and again, against a ruler now long dead. Fear their lies and their truths, for chaos reigns each century anew.”[/color] The Dealer spoke their next clue immediately.
