First topic message reminder :

The call had been sent out a fortnight ago. The Cardinal queen was dead. A new queen from her realm would be chosen and a sixth queen would take her place. The banners had been changed to black for mourning and the mysterious king had yet to give the orders to change them back.
Arliss Ravenclaw stared at the stone wall in front of her and made a face at the banner still waving there. She'd been tossing rocks at it for days to no avail. It was never going to come down. Not without the king's guard. Another rock wouldn't do any harm...
Silently she shoved the mass ebony curls over her shoulder and heaved the jagged rock at the banner, wincing as she finally heard a loud rip. It should have been more than a little satisfying if her guard and handmaidens and even her mother were not standing nearby. 
It took no more than a second for her mother to turn around, fury, blazing in violet eyes that matched Arliss' own. Her luck was not getting better it seemed.

"I don't have time to play games with you, girl." The king snapped. "I have a memorial and a wedding to plan." He hissed, stomping away from her.

Arliss' slammed her foot into the man's crotch and bit his hand in the same motion. It was a desperate bid but it was her last chance.

Neb continued to smile as she watched the king leave. She had gotten under his skin, and he hadn’t taken her head. That was something. “You were mighty qui...” She had turned to where Arliss was supposed to be, though her words died off when she realised the other young woman wasn’t there. “Fuck...” She threw off her cloak, knowing it would only slow her down as she sought out the highborn runaway.

The man made a grunting noise, but didn’t release Arliss. “You think your the first to try that, girl?” He sneered, his blade away from her throat now, though he instead used it to slice through the front of her bodice. “I like breaking in the wild ones...”

"I'm not afraid of you." Arliss' hissed, though it was not true at all. She threw herself away from the powerful man, using the sudden element of surprise to her advantage.

“You should be.” It wasn’t her captor who spoke, it was Neb standing behind him. Before the large man could turn and react, she had slowly dragged her strange coloured dagger across his throat, covering Arliss in his blood. “Come on. Someone will find the body soon.” The slender woman simply stepped over the still twitching body and took Arliss’ wrist. “And your mother will no doubt have me beaten for losing sight of you in the first place.”

At first Arliss didn't move. She stared down at the body, poking it with her foot. "Why is he dressed so strangely?" She breathed. "Like he came from the wilds..."

“You’ve never seen a pict before?” Neb asked with an amused snort. “What exactly have they been teaching you in that tower?” She added pulling on Arliss’ wrist again. “They’re the only kingdom without a Queen, and refuse to bow to any orders from the cardinal city. Uncivilised, yes, but they enjoy bloodsport, and are quite good at it... usually.” She mused again, imagining how humiliating it would have been had she left that man alive, wounded by a woman and left to limp back to his master. “I imagine the king would enjoy their treatment of women, if they didn’t wage constant war against him.” This time she didn’t smile. This time there was a bitter edge to Neb’s usually velvet soft voice.

"They have women where they come from? Like...their own?" Arliss' questioned. She pulled her torn bodice tightly against her and looked out toward the darkening sky. "And the king allows it?"

Neb arched her brow as she cast a sideways glance at Arliss. “You think the king cares about the treatment of women? The other kingdoms basically breed wives for him.” She remarked with a bitter snort.

"Why?" Arliss' asked, trying her best to sound as mature as possible. "What does the king really get out of it? More power? Noterioty?"

Neb couldn’t help the smirk that again pulled at her lips. “Variety.” She remarked dryly. “Don’t you ever wonder what really happened to any of the previous queens? Bet he has them locked in the cellar or something.”
