The spoon hit Sarah splattering a little bit of food on her clothing. Although it was light and didn't physically hurt her. It still hurt, the force of Elise's emotions is what she really felt. The look of both Sadness and anger she saw in her face, it was painful to see. Sarah wasn't really sure what she did to anger the girl so much but for some reason at that moment all she felt was guilt. Even without fully understanding what it was that upset her so much it almost felt as if Sarah had just broken her heart, reminding her of her father forcing her into this marriage with Halbert whom she loathed from the bottom of her heart. She wanted nothing to do with him. For whatever reason her father who she had trusted and been able to confide in turned his back on her immediately for the opportunity of some political gain. Heart break was a fresh wound she was growing familiar with unfortunately. "You insolent-!" Braum began to yell, but then felt steel being pressed agai

The entire group was stunned. No one had any idea of this happening apart from Vanessa who had been Sarah's closest confidant for her entire life. The night that had happened Vanessa had stayed up for hours trying to console the princess as she cried her eyes out. She allowed her to cry that night until her eyes were red and swollen and eventually she was finally able to fall asleep. The next morning she was called unsightly by her own father and was forced to have breakfast in her room, a few bites into her food she could no longer contain her sadness and began to cry all over again. Her fathers cruelty seemed to know no limits. Vanessa was enraged for Sarah. It took everything she had not to rush into the throne room and drive a blade into the part of his body that the heart should be, although she questioned if the bastard actually had one.  Thankfully the wedding planning had not yet truly begun. Sarah decided to go visit her oldest sister whom she was very close to

"Yea... Something like that" Christopher said with a sullen look. Garrett wasn't surprised by any means when he heard the response. With Christopher's skills there was no doubt in his mind. He either was a soldier or an assassin. It was easy to see he was used to killing. Garrett's only concern is that he may be a little to comfortable with killing. The other thing that Garrett could not wrap his head around was how young he was. The empire at times could be cruel and merciless but no one would set foot on the battlefield unless they were at least 18. There was the occasional mercenary company they would employ that might have one or two people under the age but they usually would avoid companies that used children to fill numbers. "How long did you fight? How old are you ?" Garrett couldn't help but to ask him. He honestly had many questions for Chris but did not want to push to hard. "Wow quite a few personal questions don't you think?" Christopher chuckled. Garret

Elise spent a moment listening to the two laughing before she decided now was as good a time as any to walk in on them. Although she felt bad for eavesdropping on the other the subject did have to do with her so there was no need to apologize for it. Sarah seemed to be feeling the same, she had stayed quiet and rooted to that spot for the duration of their conversation listening closely to their every word. Elise waved with her hand and stepped out onto the roof top. this time she was certain to make her presence known before they could start up on anymore private conversations. "Ahem are you two running low on drink yet ?" She asked emerging from the starewell. "AHA my sweet angel of salvation!" Garrett looked in their direction then back to Christopher and Whispered to him. "I'll speak with her about it." Christopher nod to him and said nothing more on the subject. He then drunkenly rolled his head to face the two women coming out onto the r

Sarah and her entourage took a minute of silence to recover and recompose themselves after having valiantly charged in on Elise and Christopher having sex. The men wished them good night and moved to their own room, as Sarah and Vanessa put on their pajamas and prepared for bed. They were in for quite a pleasant surprise, when they saw the room that was prepared for them. It was very spacious brightly painted walls, some paintings decorated the walls, and a king size bed. Surprisingly everything was up to date and the blankets, pillows, and sheets seem to all be made from the finest materials both Sarah and Vanessa sprawled spread eagle  on the  bed with room to spare still, they could have invited Christopher and Elise to accompany them after all, and still have room to spare. "Oh this feels like heaven!" " You know I haven't felt this comfortable since I was forced to leave my old bedroom in the palace. Not just physically, but mentally as well." Sarah wh
