Alexander rose as soon as King Edin requested it, adjusting his jacket as he stood tall before His Majesty. 

Of course, he was correct about the verdict given to Duke Vikena. It was what had to be done to ensure the fool remained alive. The man was a pawn, yes, but a pawn that had navigated to the end of the board without anyone realizing it. Tonight… tonight was not when he’d topple the king that stood alone without his queen. 

 When Roman Ravenwood’s trial was mentioned, Alexander simply nodded along before saying, [color=gold]“We all see, Your Majesty. I fear Caesonia could use more examples of what that looks like. Wealth and status will crumble against the might of your sword of justice.”[/color] As much as he wished to, he did not smile at the prospect of seeing Roman Ravenwood removed from the board. He had some level of respect for the man’s way of thinking, but he needed him gone like the others who had proved to be an obstacle. 

[color=DDB775]“For tonight, go enjoy yourself. Listen to what my court is saying... Especially about me. And keep your eyes open for another matter as well. Caesonia will require a queen again, eventually… Birth, beauty, obedience, usefulness. I trust you understand the qualities worth noticing... Be discreet, Mr. Deacon. But do not be idle.”[/color]

[color=gold]“At once, Your Majesty.”[/color] Alexander offered a brief bow before turning toward the rest of the ballroom.
