"Where would you go Devika? You can't go more than a few feet from me. The further way you are the weaker the bubble will be." Roxy pointed out as she moved to the desk. She was going to need access to it to see who might be able to come in. She would look through her list of upcoming jobs for someone whose emotions wouldn't make Devika too uncomfortable. There should be a few they could start with.

She pulled the chair up to the desk and pulled up her list of jobs that were on hold. She too the one who been waiting the longest and sent them a message. She was sure she would get a response within an hour. She stood up and went back to the other side of the garage. She wanted to stay as busy was she could. "Do you want to start lunch while we wait for a response?" She asked.

"She isn't her own person though." Reginald explained. He wasn't too worried about the empath yet. He was watching her though. She could be a weak link in his plans. He couldn't allow her to ruin everything he had worked for. "She is my daughter. I arranged for her to marry Maxwell because it benefited both of that. I am saddened that arrangement doesn't suit her but a deal is a deal there is no way to undo it."

"I really don't see why this is a problem." Maxwell shrugged. "It isn't like I am being very understanding. Roxy wasn't part of the agreement and Reginald had no way that she wouldn't be into men."

Roxy grit her teeth. Most people would think they were being reasonable. They were willing to change things to suit her. But that wasn't the point. She would basically be a two timing hussy. "I am not marrying you. I sure as hell not sleeping with you."

"You will give me a heir Roxanna. That isn't negotiable." Maxwell leaned forward and put his hand on Roxy's arm. She jerked away. It took everything in her not to hit the man. She wanted to so bad but if she did there would be consequences and that wasn't something they needed right now.

Roxy glared at the Duke. She flipped him off. She wasn't the least bit impressed by his status. "If you are under the impression that your safe just because you too my knives you are greatly misinformed." Just because she preferred knives didnt mean they were the only weapons she could or would use. Hell she didnt need a weapon really. She walked right up to the man. "I don't need weapons to kill you Duke." She told him. She wasn't know as Shadow for nothing. "So you don't want me to kill someone. What do you want?"

"The Princess is ill. We've been hiding it while we search for a cure." Roxy crossed her arms over her chest and waited. They obviously didn't want her to kill the girl so they must have some other use for her skills. "Unfortunately we haven't had a lot of success. A prophet arrived a week ago." Roxy snorted. She had no use for magic users of any kind but Prophets were the worse. They came out of the wood work when people were the most desperate and it seemed the king was there.

"Let me guess. This prophet just happens to know of some mysterious vague item that had been hidden years ago that could save her if we can solve the riddles that lead to the many well hidden mysterious ingredients. And we were chosen because we're the only people who met the description in the riddle 'A woman of shadows and a Disgrace Mage'." She quoted the titles the given them a few minutes ago. She raised an eyebrow. "How'd I do?"

For Country and Princess (WT & KW)

Roxy followed the guards as they lead her to the King's throne room. She could have told them she didn't need their guidance but she didn't think they would take that very well. She smirked at the thought. While she wished that she had her knives but she didn't need her knives to but dangerous so she said nothing. She would see what his arrogance the king wanted with her. There were all kinds of possibilities that she was curious enough for her to allow the king to capture her.

The walls of the tunnel had once been made of stones of different shapes and sizes but concrete had been but over it because some of the areas had been crumbling and had needed reinforced. A tall pair of granite doors marks the entrance to this dungeon. Beyond the pair of granite doors to pass many different passages, most of which she had explored since she got there. Roxy had made sure that they knew that she was there because she chose to be not because they were able to keep her there.

Once they were out of the dungeon they headed to the throne room. They started to pass people. Which made Roxy a little uncomfortable. She usually stayed out of sight. She heard people whispering as they passed. Most people didnt know who she was or why the guards were escorting her through the castle. They would know soon enough and when they did her life would come a lot harder but she had known that would be a risk when she decided to see why the king was looking to hire her.

Eventually they reached the door to the throne. The guards opened the door. Inside were three men. Roxy recognized the king but not the other two. One who was on kneeling before the king. She stormed across the room right but to the king. She heard the guards draw their weapons as if they could act before she kill him if that had been her goal. She glared up at him. At barely five foot tall she was used to looking up at people. "I want my knives back." She demanded and held out her hand.
