The hooded woman had watched with mild interest, her legs crossed as the man was brought out. She was ever so still, her arms crossed and her boot bopping slightly with anticipation. Her long plain cape shrouded her face as a smirk played across it. Her dark hair fell out from the hood, moving with the breeze.

[color=a187be][i]Nesworth. I expect a show.[/i][/color] 

Her shrouded gaze shifted upward. It landed on the small balconies around the arena that held her camouflaged men and women. [color=a187be][i] And so do they. [/i][/color] 

She twisted her own spyglass in her hand. The young Darius met her eyes and she responded to his nod with her own. That was his cue. The question was not if she could trust Darius, she knew she could. He was eager to please and pull his parents out of poverty. She knew what that felt like enough to know he would obey. But would he succeed? The question was if Alibeth could rely on him and what better way to know than to put the young man on execution duty. 

He spoke well enough; he said all the right things. But Alibeth still noticed each and every sweat bead as it rolled down his skin. [color=a187be][i]You wouldn't hurt a fly, would you? ... Glad I brought a woman for the job.[/i][/color] Cameron took the chance to speak to ramble on like a lunatic as she suspected. However, he revealed more than she had thought he would. It was almost too much, yet it was worth the risk if she could weed any other of the fools out today. Those on the balcony knew to watch the crowd closely now, looking for any suspicious reactions. 

Alibeth knew very well she'd still be the first to spot any. She untwisted her legs and sat up straight, her spyglass in hand. Bringing it to her eye, she gently moved it over the crowd as the man screamed. Certainly, she did find some reactions that did not align with her wishes. So she marked the fools, even before her guards inevitably would. The subjects always showed their true colors when they thought there was no one to catch them. It was all too similar to a teacher not attending a classroom for a day. The children would feel free to shout, yell and take out the toys from their backpack. The toys that the teacher did not normally permit in her classroom. [color=a187be][i]One, two, three, four... The unfaithfuls will grow in number as long as he reigns. But I shall disparage them in this instance. [/i][/color]

The Queen knew Cameron Nesworth would reveal himself just as he was. Her eyeglass fell on his burning frame. Many would not have noticed the gleam of his red eyes, but she did. Her smile grew as the breeze had picked up. [color=a187be][i] Oh how you denied it all. I knew you'd reveal yourself to me finally.[/i][/color] She set the eyeglass in her lap and watched as Darius struggled against the flame. He eventually was able to put it out in the sand. This was an ideal situation considering Nesworth's capabilities. More importantly, this was enough of a display to perhaps make the other little performers known to her. Alibeth raised her head. She remained still amongst the mixed reactions to Nesworth's death. It wasn't long before she thought to herself, [color=a187be][i]I see quite a few of you. There will be more blood for this crowd then. I am sure even this terrible death will not deter you vermin. [/i][/color] She rose to her feet once she felt she had what she needed. [color=a187be][i] I'd love to finally meet the cat who keeps bringing these rats to my door.[/i][/color]

With a lowered head, Alibeth had planned to leave at that moment. That was when she noticed a girl just a few seats ahead of her faint. She paused in her footsteps and watched the commotion play out over her shoulder. [color=a187be][i] Now this is interesting... Lady Mina Blackwood. Executions are not for the faint of heart. But you must know that. Could it be that you're a player in my game? [/i][/color]
