Ocgnoton peeked through a barrel as a knight in blue steel armor grabbed another serf and put a clay more to her throat. From the cylinder helmet and coat of arms the man bore he was from a rival kingdom that never seemed to get along with his. They were the ones who boiled his arm and left the skin pink. gloves were to expensive for him, being that he lived alone and owed most of the money he made to another serf, ocgnoton hated them with a passion. Though he was cowarring in a barrel the rage in him built it and he began to mutter wicked things to the knight who came over to the hiding places, pondering what kind of demonic spell had been used on it, only to take the top of the ocgnoton's holder to the face and to have his helmet spun around with a hysterical laughter. He wasn't a warrior by any means and his legs were obviously shaking but he knew well that he was slippery enough to beat this knight. Drool came down him mouth when he thought of the possibility of a reward for his heroic deeds. Beef, venison, maybe a leek or onions, the very thought got him to drop kick the knight.

It was a good harvest season, Rika could feel it in the air. It was especially humid and sticky, great for corn and indigo. However, she was not a farmer and walking around in a heavy, metal suit, would be sooner likely to give her heatstroke than anything. But, someone had to monitor the town and make sure that the job got done.

Especially with the factor that the others were taking their time and slacking off today. As such, Rika continued her walk in her suit, with the lack of a helmet and an axe-shaped spear at her side. Though she carried a weapon, not many stopped to take notice of it and continued with their morning greetings to her instead.

As usual, she would wave back. The people just liked her like that. And as usual, she and the other knights did a good job ensuring their safety. . . Except for today.

No, today she would encounter a rogue imposter from another kingdom, being pinned down by a servant from the castle. She was able to step in at last second, holding her spear to the downed knight, "Freeze! You're under arrest."

Prince Aleksandr found himself kept in his room for the morning, studying his Latin before the Royal Breakfast was to start. He had promptly been awoken earlier than normal and been dressed and bathed before his usual time as to allow him study time. Now, he was simply reading A Handbook of a Christian Knight by Desiderius Erasmus. The man was praise worthy of writing some hysterical books. Although, the King did not agree with everything Erasmus wrote, his works were influential and well known, a mandatory reading. The Prince generally enjoyed Erasmus' writings, they were not complicated and addressed accordingly with his Greek studies.

Not too far into his studies and outside his window some unusual happenings made noises, but nothing so erroneous that the prince himself felt disturbed or in trouble. He continued reading, even if for a brief second he did pause and take note of the sound and ruffles outside. He awaited one of the servants to come and arouse and escort him for the time of the Royal Breakfast.

The king preferred his children to be escorted to main events of the day. Although, his children did have freedom to roam without guards inside the kingdom, but it was required a gaurd stay with the children of royalty when leaving the great castle. Even with the males being trained in combat, regulations were a priority safety precaution. Prince Aleksandr did not mind. The protection seemed to amount as an extra warning, a peacock of his status, not to say his status define him, but nonethless, with a rosary of beads hidden in his pocket, he was definitely one for theatrics.

Ocgnoton quickly scurried away at the scene of two knights in battle, the thought of one scared him to death. Though it was strange to find a woman as a knight, and most people would see her a a disgrace, this kingdom was much more welcoming to knew ideas. She was his hero, and his cheering for her was louder than expected. A powerful fighter of the female kind. She was his dream girl really.

"yeah, beat that bloody milkdrinker to a pulp, he tried to threaten ol' gretchin here show him what you're made of" said the serf encouragingly

To be truthful, the fact the man had lasted this long as an impostor was bad enough, he was the only serf that could tell something was off about the knight and now he knew more would come eventually.

Princess Nadia was wondering around the kingdom without a guard as she had sneaked out. She had always find that things outside the castle was sometimes even more fun when explored alone. Wearing a hooded cloak, she wondered around d the streets smiling at anyone that walked by.

After awhile, she went back before it was Royal Breakfast. Just as she was about to go inside, she came across the scene of the two knights and the servant. Blinking slightly, she took off her hood and approached them. "What seems to be happening?" She asked Rika, as she was more familiar with her than the other unfamiliar knight, in her soft voice.

Ogcnoton quickly lowered to his knees seeing he was in the presence of loyalty. In truth he owed them his life. Those who tortured him for so long payed thanks to the princesses father and he was sure she helped in some way. "Aaaah milady nothing to worry about here, merely a run in with a man of a bad manor please be on your way, nothing to fear" he said, unfortunately sounding creep as his voice often indicated he was.

Smiling at rika noticing how close he was to her rear the serf quickly grabbed his hoe from near the barrel and began to work on the crops, getting odd looks from the peasants and slaves. Ogcnoton smiled as he passed the rest of the group, he was great at farming and he worked like a dog. Of course it was mainly so he could fool around and 'check' on the cheifs 'testing' there foods.

A servant knocked on the door of Prince Aleksandr. Aleksandr shut the book he was reading and placed it on his desk. He scooted his chair back and stood up, removing himself from behind the desk. He pushed his chair back in before telling the servant she was allowed to open the door.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome," the servant smiled, hair pushed into a long, brown, silky ponytail.

They walked down long hallways, filled with pictures and statues of heavy ornate decoration and fashion. The castle was not at all stoic and stone, but lively and festive with lavish, golden, Rococo decor. She escorted him to the main dining room, where a long table was set with fancy silverware and dishes and glasses over a velvet, finely golden-embroidered and finished tablecloth.Tall wooden chair stood around the tall, long, wooden table. The chairs were finished with velvet seat coverings, and they stood femininely on cabriole legs. The appearance was intimidating and astonishing to an outsider, but refreshing and comforting to the Royal Family.

"Your seat, Prince Aleksandr," the servant pulled a seat out. Several of the other Royal Children were already seated, promptly awaiting for the rest of the family to arrive. The King and Queen were usually the last to arrive, with the expectations of their children sitting promptly and patiently for their appearance.

"Thank you, Yisuri," Prince Aleksandr smiled, slightly showing a pair of white teeth. He took his seat and looked at his siblings, smiling with a polite gesture.

"Nadia is missing," the oldest replied, "She left today, without warning Mother."

Elise was rushing around the kitchen preparing various dishes for the noble's breakfast. She was baking danishes, boiling tea, and preparing sausages all at once. She was notified by the head chef that the nobles had already started seating themselves. "So much to do," she muttered and whisked around the kitchen even faster. Right as the set the danishes and tea on a platter she was shoved out of the kitchen and into the royal dining hall to serve. She had no time to make herself presentable. She curtsied to the King's children as they were the only ones there at the moment and started setting food at the table, her eyes down as she was trained to do so, though she snuck peeks up, admiring the grand hall.

Helping herd the sheep and goat into there plots and feeding the horses and oxen (almost getting rammed into in the process as normal) Ogcnoton then prepared for his next job. Hunting. He wasn't much use with a bow but he was one of the best as skinning and gutting, as they were something he did often before moving to this new land. Pocketing his skinning knife, grabbing a bucket to drain out the blood and guts the rat of a man began to run after the men and women riding there horse. Horse never liked him so he couldn't ride but he had tricks to catch up to them and the majority of the time they were staying at a slow and steady pace. Heading into the woods Ogcnoton couldn't help but think about the rival knight who attacked him. The fact he could escape the man's clutches was amazing and that he didn't back don to this man over cowering to a single glare from a servant made him wonder about his morals in life.

Elise finished putting the food out and walked back into the kitchen. She was given the honorable duty of throwing out the leftovers to the pigs. She let out a small sigh, but someone had to do it. She carried the bucket of slop and actually was enjoying being outside. She whistled as she walked. The light breeze ruffled the apron that was over her trousers and plain green shirt that she worn. She was usually looked at strangely for wearing pants, but she didn't care, she preferred them for cooking in and just as an overall preference. She poured the slop to the pigs and grinned down at them, "Enjoy." She was walking back and looked out to the woods longingly, how much she wanted to explore it, but she hadn't found time to yet. She let out a small sigh and continued walking, swinging the now empty bucket.

Nadia was hurriedly escorted by Grallz to the dining room, where Nadia saw that everyone except her parents were already there. She gracefully went to her seat and sat down, smiling cheerfully at everyone.

"Did everyone have a pleasent morning?" She asked as the room was quiet.

While skinning an elk for the hunting group a whiff of food caught Ogcnoton's attention. Following his nose he shuck up upon a group of men with armor to the sides unequiped and large meals in there hands. Smiling as he realized they were of the rival kingdom's men he knew well he could steal from them, and so he hatched a plan.sneaking to there horses ogcnoton took off there saddles with ease despite there moving. A knight came over to check what was wrong but was not quick enough when he noticed the saddles gone and now moving towards a pond in at the bottom of a him. As he and his rushed down the hill ogcnoton tripped the man and his freinds laughed now drawling there attention to him as ogcnoton grabbed a helmet, greaves, and a battle axe from there equipment, pushing the rest to the ground drawling the group's attention to a new area. Hiding in a hollowed tree as the knights searched for there spectater, putting on the the piece of armor he stole. He was still very unequipped but at least he was still fast enough. Charging his first opponent and smashing his helmat into his foe's head he alerted the others as he attempted to lift his weapon but failing miserably on of the men jabbed at his with a sword only for ogcnoton to go through his legs and sweeping him to the ground and running towards the camp they had. As the others caught up to him, there horses were up to meet them, chasing them away. As the serf munched on his new meal he realized these men wouldn't be alone, they were in small camps to spread out, who would know were they were, or how many there were. As he pondered one of the hunting membered grabbed him and set him on the horse they were riding, running out of the forest.

"we were attacked, the others are out there somewhere, I think the kingdom might be under attack soon"

Nadia looked around the dining room, seeing that no one answered her. She pouted slightly and soon enough, her parents, the King and Queen came and sat at their places. "Let's eat!" the King said, smiling at his children, the Queen by his side. Breakfast was soon dug in and everyone started eating. Small talk was made amongst one another but no one paid attention to Nadia. Nadia ate her food in silence and looked out of the window, only to see Ogcnoton on a horse, riding towards the castle from the forest. "I wonder what happened.." Nadia mumbled to herself, wanting to be excused but knowing that she can't.

Soon ogcnoton made it to the entrance to the keep only to be stopped by the guards who did not believe his story, only when a few other peasents and serfs agreed did they go to get someone to listen, he realized if it were not him that knew more about there plans people would listen but he knew thanks to his normal reputation no one would listen, but the guards would hope fully ask the royal family, he knew the duke well as they often played tricks and nabbed food together and the prince had met him thanks to the fact he often worked as a servant in the castle and the princess had met him this morning.

As they ate their breakfast, Nadia was lost in thought as to what had happened. "Perhaps it had to do with that knight earlier on..? He was rather unfamiliar and I do know most of the people in this kingdom.." She thought to herself as she ate. "Nadia? Is something wrong..?" The Queen asked, looking at Nadia worriedly. Nadia snapped out of her thoughts and looked at her mother, smiling at her. "Uhm, nope, nothing wrong" She said with a small laugh. She looked at her plate and realized that she had already finished her breakfast. "May I be excused?" She asked politely. After given the permission, Nadia hurried out of the castle to cease her curiosity about what had happened.

Elise saw the servant on the horse and hurried after him out of curiosity. She knew she would probably be punished for not coming back in a timely fashion, but she didn't care at the moment. It looked like he had an urgent message. She pushed through the small crowd around him and walked forward, "What did you see?" She said curtly. She knew this particular servant vaguely. He had the tendency to steal food from the kitchen and get himself into large amounts of trouble. She wasn't quite sure if his sotry would even be real, but she asked anyway.

Rika was far too dense to have noticed the odd looks from the serf -- Ocgnotion. Instead, she raised the fallen knight to his feet and led him back to the castle. The entire way, he tormented her -- points of her gender, of her being a disgrace. It was very much looked down upon and it did bother her, but the kingdom was far too often in time of tension -- they needed her.

She arrived at the castle, standing tall in front of the guards, her fellows. She saluted them; they being her superior. "If their majesties would be so kind, this man needs to be tried immediately under terms of espionage and arson. He should be punished at the most empty moment, sirs!

Now to wait for a response. .
