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.

@LuckyBlackCat LOL. This is all surface stuff. We have a lot to uncover. But I'm glad this ok.

Thought I would check in and see what your thoughts are. Still enjoying this?

Hopefully Sanctuary

If you want to bring in a second customer feel free. Otherwise we can skip to the end of the day.

Roxy looked at Jess. It hadn't been much. Barely a whisper but the empath had stood up for for. Sort of. Still it was more than anyone had done for her. No one had ever taken her side.

Reginald smiled indulgently. "I see you're one of those believe people should be allowed to love whoever they want to." He sighed and looked at Roxy but she ignored him. Her eyes didn't move off Maxwell. He was the threat here. Her father wouldn't hurt them. At least not physically and other wounds didn't count. "Normally I would agree however I arranged Roxanna's marriage years ago."

"I'm willing to allow Roxanna to have a woman on the side if that is what she needs." Maxwell shrugged as if it didn't matter to him. Roxy rolled her eye. She tried to shove the irritation and fear she felt into the box she kept her emotions in. She didn't have the luxury of dealing with them right now. Not that she would deal with them later. She had been avoiding feeling for years. It was much easier that way. "Heck I'd even watch."

"You have your heir father. You can leave me alone." Roxy hated that she had been sold off to the highest bidder. It didn't matter that Maxwell had worked with her father for years. She wanted nothing to do with either of them. "As for you Maxwell you can go to hell for all I care. You can find another wife. I hear Russia and China have some you can buy." She snarled.

Roxy snorted. She shook her head. Devika was a people pleaser. That much was clear. She wanted everyone around her to be happy. Roxy had no use for happy vibes. Life was anything but sunshine and roses. "We don't mesh. I don't know if we will but right now we don't." She pointed out. She blamed herself for the fact the bubble that was supposed to protect Devika not working. From what she read that was rare. Very rare.

"The empath/anchor program has been around a few years. They had done a ton of research on it. It's rare for the anchor not to be able to protect the empath from their emotions. Sure sometime the bubble only covers a small area so the two have to be close until they trust each other or mesh or whatever but the times that an empath has felt an anchor's emotion is very small."Roxy shrugged. She didn't know if allowing more customers to come or not was a good idea but she wasn't opposed to trying.

"I'll see if anyone else wants to come in today. Maybe open the schedule so that I have two or three jobs a day if you think you can handle it. Most don't wait here for the work to be done but some of them do. I don't want you to push yourself too much." Roxy suggested. She was in no hurry.
