[color=FAD271][center][h2]Prince Tol Anzi-de Carragua[/h2][/center][/color] [sup][@AnyAlex][/sup] [color=FAD271]"AND? What are they suspected of? What crimes have these foreign invaders,"[/color] an edge of excitement was in his voice as he said those two words, [color=FAD271]"Committed against our glorious kingdom?"[/color] Dramatically he turned to face the boat, [color=FAD271]"What ne'er do wells have disembarked this vessel? Tell me. I will handle it on behalf of his majesty, the King. What actions do you reccomend to handle these villains?"[/color] [hr] [color=a36209][h2][center]Queen Celestius[/center][/h2][/color] Meanwhile, a Royal Guard stood outside the King's bed chamber, relaying the message that had come from the messager of the docks. [color=a36209]"This is rather inopportune timing, as the King is in his... recharge cycle,"[/color] said a groggy but alert Queen. A sigh escaped her as she beckoned the guard forward. [b]"Yes. And ah. Your Majesty. Uhm,"[/b] hesitated the guard. She strode to a table, flicked her fingers, and a lantern illuminated it. As she gathered some parchment and her quill pen, she told the guard, [color=a36209]"What is it? Dont be shy, now."[/color] [b]"Your ah. Son,"[/b] the guard swallowed nervously. She began hastily writing, [color=a36209]"What about him?"[/color] [b]"He's gone to the docks."[/b] [color=a36209]"Ah. I see,"[/color] she yawned, [color=a36209]"Also. I suppose he neglected to inform anyone, but his Majesty did send out a missive for... assistance."[/color] As the Queen finished writing, the guard watched her drip wax onto this quickly folded parchment, stamp the royal Crest into the wax, and the guard felt quite surprised at how well she was handling the news of the Prince handling the... oh. Had she assumed it was her [i]other son?[/i] [color=a36209]"Take this to the docks. You. It is an order. The captain will be brought before his Majesty for questioning,"[/color] said the Queen as she passed her guard the paper, [color=a36209]"Anything else? Are you feeling well? You appear to be sweating. Suddenly."[/color] [b]"Simply ah. Running a fever, your Highness, I will deliver it promptly,"[/b] replied the guard with a salute. As the guard practically ran out of the room, the Queen stared at the door wearily as it closed.
