I can bet! I'm excited to see more of him~
Haha oh bless him! It makes sense though, he is a warlord after all so violence must be a natural instinct to him. It will be interesting to see how that side plays out when we get into things like the assassination and potential threats to the crown.

Elise was soon learning just how invested Manawyndan seemed to be in her marriage to Ozragad with the fact he had referred this matter as something of state. “I suppose not.” It was easier agreeing with him, it was no ordinary lovers quarrel as for one they weren’t even lovers and she doubted she could even consider that term in the future. Not when every time she closed her eyes, she could see the image of his hands wrapped around her throat and deep down she feared it would happen again. This truly was a matter of state, a marriage to stop a war and bring prosperity to both Kingdoms, to even think love would be involved was naive.
Without realising she found her eyes narrowing towards him, bring guards to ensure her physical wellbeing? The very thought angered her making her feel sick at the idea she would even need guards to make sure he didn’t lay his hands on her. Taking a moment to compose herself she stopped herself from making a comment and nodded as he left to wait for her to follow along. It wasn’t that she would need them, but more that if it would make her feel comfortable then she could bring them and she was thankful she didn’t speak too soon on that matter. Taking guards would not be needed, she would not surround herself like she needed to be protected.
I do not need their protection from a brute. Elise thought to herself as she took one last sweeping glance of her room before taking her steps outside to follow Manawyndan to finally talk with the King. Offering a forced smile to the Lord she closed the door gently behind her and followed him in silence whilst she let herself think about the upcoming meeting. Building herself up to apologise she hated the idea already; she didn’t feel she did anything wrong. It was he who had pushed her to snap with his comments, maybe she had overreacted but at the end of the day he had started it and finished it when being violent towards her.
Still… I should remember Lady Cheldarines words. I’ll have to apologise he probably doesn’t think he did anything wrong.
Walking through the castle with the Lord she took in the sights, it had been a few days since she had left her rooms that she had been forcibly confined too and it felt great to be out of them. A fleeting feeling of freedom. Regardless of the fact she had been confined she still walked with her head held high, she would not let anyone see anything but confidence from her even if it wasn’t a true reflection on her feelings inside. There was a hint of doubt that maybe Ozragad would not marry her and just have her killed instead like the rumours foretold. It was still option, even if Lady Cheldarine had spoken otherwise in regard to this Kingdoms state it could still happen.
He needs me, I have to remember that. I won’t be some inferior woman that he can choose to beat around if he so pleases.
As they came to the doors, she heard the knock before his voice called out for them to enter, at the sound of his voice she could feel her stomach churn hesitant to walk inside at first as the memory of what happened in the library was still fresh in her mind. Taking in a deep breath she pushed the thoughts down before she moved inside as the doors were opened for her acting as if nothing had happened between them. It was the first time she had stepped foot in this chamber, but before she could take a look at her surroundings, she bowed respectfully to the King still remembering her manners even if she wanted to disregard them and snub him hoping he did not catch the flicker of fear passing through her eyes.
“Good morning your highness, is now a good time to talk?”

“Good morning your highness, is now a good time to talk?”
Hey no worries! Take your time :)
Elise knew she had to keep her wits about her when it came to this councillor, the way he had shut Lady Cheldarine down had struck a chord with her and she had a feeling that he had a lot more in this plan than met the eye. Perhaps she was just being far too suspicious of everyone around her, but that wasn’t a bad thing when she was practically surrounded by wolves who could kill her in a heartbeat. “That is… wonderful.” Trying to keep her smile in place as he said how the King would be receptive to that idea, or perhaps he was just waiting for another moment to wrap his hands around her throat and choke the life out of her.
Unable to tell if Manawyndan was truly happy about the decision she watched the smile and it looked honest enough, no ill will behind it. “O-Oh.” Caught off guard by the fact he was willing to go now, she hadn’t expected it but maybe it was best to go bury the hatchet whilst he was on agreeable terms as the Lord had said. Even though he had offered her to take time to prepare she didn’t feel like it was an option as already it looked like he was ready to go, eager to fix their fight.
“No need.” Waving it down as she came to her decision that it was best to resolve it now, as much as she would have loved to have been dressed to the nines it didn’t feel all that important. “If we are to be married, he will see me in casual attire, so I will not change for the audience with him.” Leaning forward as she placed her cup back on the table knowing the server would clean it up whilst they were gone.
Rising to her feet she brushed the simple pale pink dress down as she kept the grey shawl wrapped round her shoulders debating on if she should take it. Considering the options, she felt it was better to take it, she could hide her hands beneath the fabric, and he would not be able to see her fiddling with the shawl. Plus, it would keep the cool air at bay, something that she had started to feel more lately which she put down to lack of sleeping.
“Of course, if it’s no bother I take it you would like to leave now?” Giving him a smile, she wasn’t sure if she liked the idea of it being a private audience with a few trusted councillors. Whether it was for her benefit or not she hated the idea that she would have to back down in front of others when she really didn’t want too, but on another hand perhaps them being there would make him think twice about strangling her. The marks had faded, but when caught in the right light could be seen to those who were looking for them, after all Lady Cheldarine had caught on to them so easily but Elise knew she had subconsciously touched her neck there giving it attention.
“Are you certain he will not mind a visit now? Without any sort of warning?”

Elise just flashed Manawydan a polite smile at his compliment of her being too kind, she was sure he was just being polite with her as she had ordered new refreshments for them both. Leaning forward she picked up her own cup of tea to hold it in her hands so she could enjoy the warmth more than anything. Manawydan had to be here with an agenda after all and she just had a feeling it had to do with Ozragad, that’s why everyone had visited her so far this evening.
“Quite, if I’d have known I would have dressed up.” Elise spoke simply as she swept her gaze across the room before falling back on the Lord, “Oh you know, just idle gossip. Lady Cheldarine was telling me all about her sons, the idea of setting them up marriages.” Waving it off as if they had just spent the day chatting like most of the ladies in court would. “I think she was just being kind seeing as I have not been able to engage in much conversation over here and I showed interest when speaking with her at the feast the other day.”
Giving away no hint that they would have discussed anything else, after all she did not personally trust this man and she feared she could get the woman into more trouble when she had been trying to help her. Elise could see the smile that didn’t reach his lips, but she wouldn’t slip up not whilst here within enemy walls. Lifting the cup to her lips she took a sip of the tea watching him over the rim of her cup as he approached the reason why he was here.
Tapping her finger against the cup she let the words sit for a moment before she rested it back on her lap, she knew she shouldn’t be surprised to find out that Manawydan knew of her and King Ozragads disagreement. This Lord had to be a part of the council and perhaps Ozragad was already coming up with plans to kill her off and be done with it after her refusal to marry him. “I have had plenty of time to consider my options. Yes.” Making it sound like it had been her decision, it hadn’t but regardless she found it that it irked her that he assumed she had come to a reasonable position. King Ozragad practically had her life in his hands, for a moment she had thought he would just strangle her to death, but no she had to be the reasonable one.
“I must have been feeling quite under the weather at the time, homesick perhaps.” Elise picked her words carefully, that she had been unwell and that was why she had denied marrying the warlord. “Certain decisions should have not been made in that state. I was looking to seek an audience with him to discuss it.”

Oh yeah! Good idea! I should be able to post tomorrow :)
Yeees! Sounds good!
Omg I am excited for it! Who are we going for with the assassination?

Omg I know what you mean! I feel the same sometimes when playing other characters haha xD We can finish up this conversation quickly if you'd prefer? That way you can get back to Ozragad!
Elise couldn’t help but watch the exchange, eyes looking from the pair and she could tell with the undertones there was some sort of fight for power between them. It was like being back at home in her own court watching as others tried to gain some sort of upper hand over the over, little jibes and comments that to any onlooker would seem pleasant when there was a darker truth beneath them. Remembering how her brother would often tell her that keeping up appearances meant everything, that you should never divulge your true thoughts or feelings unless absolutely necessary.
Not that I followed that when speaking with Lady Cheldarine earlier, but I didn’t sense any danger. Unless I am truly being played whilst here. Frowning ever so slightly at her own thoughts as she continued to listen on.
This impromptu visit happened whilst both he and the King were busy, she didn’t want them to know she was here? Or that I am being spied upon whilst here as the talk was brisk. I still have many unanswered questions. Realising she had been frowning she placed her polite pleasant smile back on her face before anyone could notice, it seemed that both Manawyndan and Cheldarine were too busy butting heads so to speak.
“Farewell Lady Cheldarine.” Smiling as she began to bid the other a goodbye only to find herself caught by Manawydan once more as he didn’t let the Formori woman win their little battle. What the elder man had said had clearly struck a chord with Cheldarine and even she had picked up on what she felt to be a quite threatening undertone aiming it towards the eldest son of hers. Elise knew that this woman was proud of her sons, she spoke so highly of them and she had remembered the proud tone of the woman at the feast a good few nights ago as they had spoke with one another.
Sympathising with Lady Cheldarine she felt like she should say something, reassure the woman but it wouldn’t help any sort of matter. That and being as she held no power here, she kept her mouth shut knowing that it was best to let Lady Cheldarine fight her own battles, the woman was well versed with things like court and Elise knew she would probably just make matters worse rather than help it.
Nodding with a soft smile as Lady Cheldarine finally excused herself once more, she turned to Manawydan who had relaxed now the woman was gone, curious as to why he felt so tense around the Formori she knew it was best not to ask such a thing. Again, she found herself frowning when he began to have a small coughing fit, sitting forward she motioned for the server who was still hanging around in the background. “Would you kindly fetch us more tea? Perhaps some water for Lord Manawyndan.” Glancing towards the Lord who had come to visit her just after her visit from Lady Cheldarine.
“Of course, take a seat.” Gesturing to the sofa before she folded her arms across her chest watching him carefully, wondering what had spurred his visit. “I daresay I was not expecting a visit from yourself, but it is welcomed.” Knowing deep down there had to be some motive behind it, maybe he had only visited to shoo Cheldarine away. Perhaps he didn’t want them talking with one another too much, but then she could just be overthinking things. It was hard not too when surrounded by a foreign place.
“What do I owe this pleasure?” Elise kept her guard up around him, there was something she didn’t quite like and she couldn’t put her finger on it just yet.
