In Character Roleplay

~Deborah Ann Harcourt~

Before she knew it, the head of the Guard and the Alchemy-man appeared, discovering the children in the ballroom. A flash of panic fleeted across her blue eyes for a second, before she realized these men weren't here to scold them, or do worse. Deborah glanced at Elise, knowing she had a fear for the head of the Royal Guard. She wasn't surprised; the man was adorned in armour that made him look like a ferocious giant, and a stare that could make the mightiest men kneel. There was the Alchemy-man, who dabbled in weird concoctions for Malice. Deborah knew this man was with Malice, but she had barely seen him. He was always in his quarters, mixing potions and other magic. Deborah fumed at the thought of this man concocting horrible potions for Malice, designed to kill their parents.


 Deborah was about to protest, not wanting to leave Rose. She also didn't want Rose to get hurt by these men, but what could she do? If she threw a fit, the men would surely report to Malice, and then...


Deborah ran as soon as Rose told her to, cutting off that deadly thought. She went through the ballroom, making sure to stick to the sides, avoiding all gazes. Then, the dessert table caught her eye. All that mouth-watering goodness...her stomach growled. Temptation came knocking, urging her to forget that she had to go back to the room all her siblings shared. 


Only one, she thought, gazing at the table, especially at the chocolate fondue. Only one..no maybe two. Three? Deborah began to approach the table, making sure no one saw her. At a certain distance, she began to run, happiness coursing through her veins, her eyes set on the chocolate fondue. So close! she shrieked mentally, just a few feet from it. 


Suddenly, the main doors opened. As Deborah ran, she glanced to the side, her blue eyes wide in fear and shock as Malice entered, looking as sleek as ever. Deborah felt panic seize her as Malice turned to her. Stop running! her mind yelled to her leg muscles. Deborah turned to look where she was going. Her heart skipped a beat,realizing someone else was in her way. Deborah struggled to skid to a halt, but failed. She crashed right into the person, causing them to flail back, but not fall, but the same could not be said for the young princess.  She crashed to the ground, right on her back. The table shook, and the chocolate fondue fell, right on top of Deborah. In a few moments, she was on the ground, covered in melted chocolate, dizzy and disoriented. 


All eyes were on her, and an eerie silence possessed the ballroom. Deborah felt like crying, but kept her mouth shut. She was in trouble. So much trouble. She glanced at the person she had crashed into. It was a guard, just as shocked as she was. He stared at her, then his gaze went to Malice, then back to her. After a moment of hesitation, he went over to her, and helped her up, strangely gentle. Deborah felt silent tears fall like a stream down her cheeks. She huddled close to the strange guard, not wanting to face Malice and all those judging stares of the dukes and duchesses. 


Deborah glanced at herself, seeing she was covered in chocolate fondue and tear stains. She glanced at the mess on the floor and table, created by her. The glass bowl that the chocolate fondue was in, lay in shattered pieces on the floor, the chocolate pooling around it. Several platters of food lay spilled on the table. 


Indeed, Deborah was in trouble. Dangerous trouble.

-Rose Sabella-
​

Rose couldn't hear the guests anymore, nor could she hear the music after that very awkward note from a violin. 'Oh no...He's here...' She really hopes all the kids are in their room. Then she heard a loud crash and dread filled the red head's stomach. The door opened and from the corner of her eye saw Elise coming out slowly. She gently pushed the little girl back in the room, her eyes showing worry of what she's about to see. "Stay here Elise. I'll be right back, okay?" Her tone wasn't calm but it was quiet, not wanting to grab anybody's attention with her panic.


When she made sure to close the door with the children inside, safe and sound, Rose quickly walked to the ballroom. The red head held her breathe when her panicking green eyes spotted a crying, chocolate covered Deborah, hiding behind a random guard. Everyone in the room stared at the little princess and the red head could tell that she didn't like it, trapped in her spot as the King stared at her too.


Without a second thought, Rose practically ran across the room to shield Deborah and bowed deeply towards the king. She doesn't care if she gets hurt for this; she rather get hurt than let the king hurt her little charge. "Welcome back your Highness." She greeted calmly and coolly, not standing up straight until he tells her to.


"Please...Your majesty, may I take her back and get her washed up for bed?" She pleaded, curling her shaking hands and pressed against her thighs. Her red hair covering her real expression of rage and desperation. Her tone of voice might be soft and weak and not intimidating at all, but her grudge is definitely a scary thing. She could barely withstand this man in front of her, but she has to bow down and plead. She has to! She has to make sure Deborah doesn't get hurt by him-!

 Bramble was grateful to say the least, although she didn't show it, like usual. "Yes..erm..uh. Thanks." Bramble stammered, still recovering from the initial surprise of letting her leave. Behind Tobias, the dancers were doing a Christmas Jig. One of her favorite dances, she was disappointed she would not be able to witness it. But knew it was necessary, at the far end of the ballroom, all eleven siblings quickly ran out of the ballroom, one sibling holding tiny Willow, just an infant, and another held Kale, only two years old. Bramble's eyes flashed at seeing the Gavin, her lips pressing together the slightest with anger. Then Abenthy, the Alchemist. Bramble gave a exasperated sigh. Now they'd surely be found out by Malice. Bramble caught Elise's eye, and gave her a wink as they ran up the stairs. 


The siblings all shared one big room, with ten beds, and two cribs. It was on the third story of the palace, located in the north wing. The room had a giant, grand fireplace, and window seats, one that gave them full view of the beautiful palace gardens. 


Bramble dragged one foot behind her, and gave one of the most graceful curtys she'd ever had to Tobias, in thank you for letting them go. 


Bramble took o ok a step away from the dessert table, heading for to leave, when suddenly, the ballroom doors burst open, and in his sleek, catlike movements, Malice entered the ballroom, stoping to gaze around the ballroom. 


"Ack!" Bramble made a sort of strangled sound as she turned and dove under the dessert table. The white table cloth hiding her from sight. 


Everything stopped short. The dancers stopped dancing, the talking instantly hushed, and even the orchestra cut off, a violin cutting off with an embarrassed rosined whine. 


Malice wore his usual attire, dresses in all black. Not boring black but dashing black. His sleek midnight hair pulled back into a ponytail. A spector of high cheekbones, showing traces of long dimples. And even across the room...his eyes blazed black, eyes so dark one could have gotten lost in them, if they weren't so dead, cold, and empty. He wore a formal suitcoat, all black. His cloak rippling straight behind him, just grazing the marble floor. His black eyes flicked around the room, his lips curving in the faintest of a smile. 


"Well," Malice said, in his chocolate smooth voice, his tone even and gentle.  "Don't stop on my account." 


Shivers  ran up Brambles spine, as the entire room swept low into a bow. Bowing to Malice. Their false King. Bramble was relieved she was hidden from view. 


"You may rise." He said after a long moment, and everyone graciously rose. He snapped his long gloved fingers, and the orchestra started up again. The dancers warily danced, and the chatter a slight quieter then it had been before.

~Tobias King~

Tobias was thankful that the Princess left. He had just realized how awkward the situation was. Tobias was never good around women, not to mention socializing in general. This encounter made him realize just how badly he needed to practice. Tobias knew Malice was going to arrive anytime soon. Tobias idled around the dessert table, even taking a strawberry coated in chocolate fondue for himself. As he munched on the fruit, he kept his gaze on the dancers, trying to focus. He glanced at the princess's retreating figure, smiling slightly. He would definitely keep her in mind. 


Suddenly, the ballroom doors opened, and King Malice stepped out, dressed in elegant black, a deadly smirk planted on his face. All the motion and joviality halted in an instant, and the sea of people all bowed down. Tobias, struggling to be as calm and passive as possible, stepped away from the table, to give no indication that he had been dining on the food. Gaze fixed on Malice, Tobias bowed down. And then, as soon as his bow had ended, someone else crashed into him, a small but imposing force.  The force was strong enough to send him back, intending to make him hit the ground, but he caught himself just in time. A series of misfortune followed; the table shook, causing various platters to spill onto the very expensive tablecloth, and the chocolate fondue to topple over and land on the cause of the entire mess.


There, on her back, lay Princess Deborah Ann Harcourt, winded and covered in chocolate, shattered pieces spilled across her body. The sharp bits cut into her skin, causing little bubbles of blood to appear. Tobias's heart seized in panic. A million question whirled through his mind. What was she trying to do? Get to the table? To her room? Is she alright? What about Malice? At the thought of Malice, Tobias glanced at Malice, hesitating. Was he supposed to help her? But Malice forbid any acts of kindness towards the children. They were lowly brats, nothing more than cursed offspring. They were worthless, just like their parents. But as Tobias met the young princess's gaze, he could see so much more. A little girl in need of help, of love. A little, frightened girl who is hurt beyond comprehension, both mentally and physically. Fear sparked in her blue eyes, and tears bubbled, on the verge of falling. Tobias knew he had to help her. She was only a child. 


And so, he obeyed his moral instincts and approached the young girl, picking her up gently. He saw tears stream down her cheeks in silent pain and fear. His heart pierced at the sight of it. 


A wave of warmth fell over Tobias as he felt the girl huddle closer to him. He glanced down at her sorry state, and then back at the table and floor, all messy and chaotic. He glanced at underneath the table, realizing someone was underneath. He recognized Princess Bramble, evidently hiding from Malice. He kept his face expressionless, to give no hint that the older Princess was underneath. He turned back to face Malice, his posture and gaze almost giving out a challenge. Tobias didn't mean it, but to everyone else, it was like he was challenging the King. 


Suddenly, a red headed woman came hurriedly to the young princess's aid, standing in front of her, bowing low. Tobias recognized her as Rose Sabella, the young royal siblings's caretaker. It made sense that she'd be protecting Princess Deborah. Tobias wouldn't be surprised if any of the young royal siblings thought of her as a mother. These children have seen and suffered too much, he thought, glancing at the young princess. More than any child should withstand. But it's not their fault, he reasoned, staring straight at Malice. It's his.

Bramble watched in horror as Deborah sprinted for the dessert table. Even though Deborah couldn't see her, Bramble shook her head frantically. 


"Blast it Ann," Bramble seethed. "Do you always have to eat?"


But it was too late. Malice had spotted her, as had everyone else. Bramble watched on, horrified as Deborah collided with Tobias, fall to the floor, the table rattled above her, and the chocolate fondue soon covered young Deborah in a layer of melted chocolate. Bramble scrambled out from under the white cloth. Her green dress getting stained with melted chocolate as she did so. 


Bramble instantly was at Deborah. In front of her, she kneeled in front of Deborah gracefully, pulling out her white handkerchief, with a sloppily embroidered B.E.H in the corner. She dabbed the tears of Deborah's face. 


"Dry your tears," Bramble said. "young peep." 


Bramble looked behind her. Some had stopped dancing and stared at the three with mouths agape. Others warily danced to the now, bad orchestra. For fear Malice would get angry if they did not. The orchestra distractedly played, hitting the wrong strings every now and then, and stopping all together. 


Malice's eyes were on her. His black eyes glinted and narrowed on them. He glanced at the rest of the wealthy, gathered around the room. 


"Continue." Malice said silkily, sweeping into a bow. How graceful he rippled. his voice even, but it was more of a commanded. The people obeyed, reluctantly tearing their eyes away and resuming there dancing, or chatting, murmuring to each other. 


Malice turned back towards them. His eyes gleamed dangerously.  Rose flung herself into the room. Bramble internally groaned. Rose basically shielded the two as she stepped in front of Malice, who was now directly in front of them. He lazily regarded Rose, as his eyes flicked to her. 


"Rise." He said, his tone dangerously smooth. "You may. After I've had a word with them." 


Bramble's yellow-green eyes flashed as she grabbed Deborah by the arm. Malice was angry, she refused to suffer his wrath. 


"Run." Bramble said. 


Without waiting for a reply, Bramble yanked Deborah alongside her as Bramble maneuvered around Malice and Rose, sprinting at full speed as Bramble pulled Deborah along, pushing dancers and knocking some to the floor. 


"Never fear, young chick!" Bramble yelled as they entered the great hall. "Hide in the north wing, in the library! If I don't come fetch you, don't find me!" Bramble said as she shoved Deborah in the direction of the library, while Bramble descended the stairs into the kitchens. 


((Sorry, in at school, in a rush))

[SIZE= 20px]Sir Gavin Tirndas. [/SIZE]
​

Gavin had finished adding the last sentence when suddenly the music stopped and he knew the king had returned. Rising he grabbed his sword and was about to begin adorning his armor but the crash made him spring up immediately. Wearing only the golden cloak and the pendant bearing his rank.
​

he again used the guards passage to make it to the room and seamlessly blend with the crowd as they rose from their bow. He slipped through the crowd silently and smoothly as if he were a phantom. Coming to a stop at the front of the crowd mere Feet from the king. He saw rose kneeling at his feet and prayed he was in a decent mood.
​

He stood silently watching, clasping his hands together until his knuckles were white to prevent one from finding their way to his hilt.
​

Is this the day?
​

He thought to himself his eyes falling on Tobias. He was helping the princess, which made Gavin feel a twitch of hope, perhaps there was an ally within the guard after all. When the children bolted He decided it was time to speak. "Forgive me for speaking out of turn my leige, But after such long travels it would be a shame to have your first action be Dealing with such a messy situation. Enjoy the festivities my king and I shall ensure the children receive due punishment for their rudeness."
​

he said in a low tone inclining his head and bowing partially with his arm across his chest in salute.
​

 

[Katsuya]

As she stood up straight by his command, Rose hitched her breathe when Bramble came out of the table and ran away from the king, her heart palpitating quickly from panic. What was she-! The red head thought Bramble already left the ballroom! 


Then she heard Gavin, offering a chance for the king to enjoy himself while the head guard dealt with their punishment. Rose hopes that he's not really going to do it-! "I'll assist you, Sir Gavin." 


Not really, she just wanted an excuse to leave and look for the girls before he did.

[Ms. Sparrow]

The bell chimed 11 PM, and guests gratefully began leaving, hurrying as subtly as they could. Malice spun on Tobias and Rose, his black eyes narrowed in anger. "Well?" He growled angrily, looking expectedly at Tobias, considering he was a guard, he should be pursuing the princesses. 


Malice's eyes flicked to Rose, looking down on her.  "You are there caretaker yes? I expect you should have more control over these children." Malice's voice dropped dangerously low. 


Just then, Gavin bursted in the room. Bowing to him. Malice impatiently indicated for him to rise with a gesture of his hand. Malice was fuming with anger. But Gavin assured the children would be punished. "See that you do." Malice snapped at Gavin, his eyes cold. Malice shot Rose a cold glare before turning around, snapping his cloak behind him as he angrily strided out of the ballroom, his footsteps made no noise whatsoever, and somehow he still moved with grace.

♔ Elisa Harcourt ♔


"No, no, no, no!" Elisa almost screamed out as the door was closed on her. She didn't want to stand idle, it's all she'd ever done really. She shook her head looking at the door again, but the only feeling she could feel was that of fear and sadness. The loud crash startled her greatly, she burst out through the doors passing by Abenthy like a stampede of one. She ran and ran down the corridors, she as going to her 'safe place', the place of wonder in words, quiet in pages but music in keys. Opening the door she slammed it shut taking a few deep breaths as she wiped the tears from her eyes. Too afraid to look back or try and find out what happened. Gazing round for a moment, everything calmed down for her, she walked over to one of the shelves and picked out her favourite book. Pride and Prejudice. She grabbed a blanket she had hidden behind a row of books and tucked herself up in the chairs that were placed around the book absorbed her as if everything around her wasn't real but the words painting a new one around her. She'd spend the night there if she had to, waiting, waiting and waiting.

-Rose Sabella-
​

When Malice walked away, Rose kept her cold façade, but inside, she shook with anger and fear. Angry that he is still wants to punish the princesses and afraid for them if Gavin finds them first. 


The red head quickly walked with the head guard, now searching for the girls. She then pulled on his arm, trying to drag him in an empty room, away from where the king left to. "Sir Tirndas, are you really going to punish those girls?" Rose asked quietly, her green eyes flashed in grief. Yes, she switched from what she used call him to what she now calls him now. 


She needed to know what game Gavin is playing because it's not funny.

 

[The DoomyFish]

[SIZE= 20px]Sir Gavin Tirndas[/SIZE]
​

Gavin rose quickly with a quick. "of course your majesty" he moved to Rose immediately and the two made their way Down the halls.
​

 
​

when rose pulled him into the room he made no effort to resist. She asked him of his intentions, but before he spoke he closed the door behind them. "not severely no, they will spend the night in the dungeons and be released tomorrow before breakfast. I don't want to do so, but something must be done to satiate the king, otherwise he may take it upon himself."
​

he sighed, this was getting to be exhausting, carrying this burden alone.
​

"I'm not going to let him hurt them...or you rose, what were you thinking? You must keep an eye on them, if something were to happen ,gods forbid, What would we do? Those children are the future of the Harcourt family if we don't play our cards right we cannot fix this, do you understand?" his hand instinctively went to the handle of his blade, this was so dangerous. If the wrong person heard him now the entire royal family, rose, and himself would all be killed without doubt.
​

 
​

Meanwhile the guards had taken King Malice's hint and began scouring the castle, ready to turn the children over to Gavin when they found them...
​

(hope you don't mind my Npcing the Majority of the guard staff.)
​

 

[Katsuya]

Rose bristled at his implications before calming down, taking a deep breathe so she wouldn't explode and alarm anyone. "I didn't notice the kids leaving their room when I went to check on them." She explained, already knowing her mistake. 


"So yes, Gavin. I do understand how dangerous this is. A bit too well." She sighed tiredly, lightly patting on the arm she pulled. "I have an idea on where they might be...but I'm not coming with you since I know that I'm going to try to stop you." It's an instinct now after three months, to somehow get the children out of trouble. Rose knows that she'll try to stop him from dragging them to the cells....but she's really glad that he's looking after them too, in his own way.


Rose quickly hugged him and told him what areas to look in and watched him leave with a guilty look on her face. She hated putting Gavin in this position where the kids hates him, but...they needed his help, whenever they know it or not...

 

[Inheritance]

Abenthy Majere


That was dangerous. Malice crashed the party. Well that meant he needed to trot back to his room...or better yet his lab. Unfortunately they were on opposite sides of the castle. Oh well Malice wouldn't do anything. He casually strolled through, comming to Malice himself.  Be knelt. "Welcome home sire. I figured some bad weather was nothing compared to you. Is there anything I can assist you with?" God he hoped the answer was no...


@Ms. Sparrow

 

[Ms. Sparrow]

Malice, whom was still slightly angry, his black eyes darted around, searching for Bramble and Deborah as he made his way upstairs in sleek movements. He stopped halfway up the stairs as he encountered Abenthy. 


"Rise." Malice said smoothly, his black gloved fingers tapping impatiently on the stairwell. After a lengthy pause, Malice considering Abenthy's question, he answered in a calm, steady, smooth tone. "No. But not haste away Mr. Majere. I'm sure I can think of something." Malice said gently. Meaning Abenthy was not to leave. And as silent as midnight, Malice disappeared. 


(I'll do a post from Bramble soon, sorry, at school))

[Blitzer]

Kaladin Harcourt
​

Curse it all! He had over slept and was late to the party. However, he took care in dressing apparently to Malice's pleasure. It was his job to protect those closest to him no matter how cruel he had to be to fulfill that purpose. His younger siblings didn't quite understand the danger quite well yet. Before leaving his room, he slid his two swords into their sheathes respectively and walked out of the room. He was over tired from trying to help with the resistance and keep a good face in front of Malice. A guard rushed past him hardly noticing him. His eyes narrowed, and his turned to follow the soldier. Something was going on. He sped up to a quick stride for the ball room where maybe he could find out was going on. 

 

[Ms. Sparrow]

While the guards searched in earnest for the two missing siblings, a loud ruckus emerged from the kitchen, quite suddenly, servants screamed from surprise as Bramble was discovered hiding in the kitchen. 


Servants fled up the stairs, fleeing the kitchen and into the great hall, looking startled and surprised as a nearby guard ran down the stairs. Disappearing from sight. Several minutes later; a loud crash came from the kitchen, followed by a clatter of spoons scattering across the floor, then a falling lid, ending the chaos with a wah-wah-wa-wa-wawawawawawathunk. 


In a moment the guard returned up the stairs, firm hand clenched on Bramble's shoulders, guiding her into the great hall. He had a spoon-sized welt across his cheek. Bramble's lips were pressed so thin, they weren't even visible. 


"Sir! Er-uh, I got the eldest...princess." The guard yelled, calling for Gavin, saying the last word as if it were a false title, considering the way she'd fought him off. 


Where the hell is Kaladin? Bramble thought angrily, wondering why he didn't attend the ball. 


"Oh yes call that rotten shilling-punter nuffermonk!" Bramble spat, referring to Gavin. "I hope he chokes!" In her mind, Gavin had betrayed them, and that was all she knew otherwise.

♔ Elisa Harcourt ♔


Keeping herself hidden for the mean-time in the library, she had all the time in the world while reading. But really, time was going to pass by quicker than she would realise. It was quiet in the room, there was hardly anyone else using it half the time so it was Elisa's own little wonderland. Wrapped up she was already a quarter of the way through by the time he even glanced up from it's pages, the grand clock had been ticking and ticking. "Please let them be okay, please let them be safe.." She mumbled to herself, voice still hoarse from shouting and running out from her room. Glancing over to the piano, her mind ran with her thinking she might be able to sneak out a small tune on it., closing her book gently and wrapping the blanket round her shoulders like a cloak she walked over to it and sat herself down. Her small fingers ran across the wood as if it magic beyond belief. It didn't take long before they were resting on the keys too, her eyes closed and her mind ran, the sounds echoed throughout the room of the piano being played, possibly making noise outside of it but not much.  As her eyes opened, her worries disappeared again the music was her tranquil state for her, just like the words in her books.

 

[Blitzer]

Kaladin was entering into the great hall when he heard a crash coming from the kitchen. He quickened to a fast stride, and his eyes narrowed to slits when he saw a guard dragging his sister. What the hell had they done? His hand flickered to his sword for a moment, but he restrained himself. He set his jaw hard and firm and fixed his face. Betray nothing. Protect everyone even with harshness. 


"What happened, guard?" He snapped in and angry voice. "And what did you do dear sister?" He strained his voice when he said sister. 


The guard said in a somewhat respectful voice. "They've been causing trouble all over the castle." 


Inwardly Kaladin sighed. Why couldn't they keep quiet and understand? "Give her to me, I'll take her to Malice personally." 


Kaladin grabbed her by her collar and pulled her away for the guard. "Stupid sisters. I'm sure you understand." 


@Ms. Sparrow

 

[Ms. Sparrow]

 Brambles yellow-green eyes glared up as Kaladin entered the great hall. Finally. She wasn't surprised by the harsh words either. Bramble at least had the decency to look ashamed. For about two seconds. Then she raised her chin, coloring angrily. 


"Oh, shove it, Kal!" Bramble said as he grabbed her, maybe a bit harsher, by the collar, yanking her out of the guards grip. 


The guard hesitated, contemplating the situation. He was young, nervous, and clearly new. "Right-we you're Maje- Thanks." The guard stammered finishing lamely, before turning and walking away from the two siblings, muttering something about being stupid. 


"And where have you been? Malice looked like he was about to remove the head from my body!" Bramble seethed, glancing around to make sure they weren't heard. 


@Blitzer

 

[Blitzer]

Kaladin continued dragging her by the collar. "I was sleeping. I'm actually tired from doing something. And shut up. Walls have ears. Trust me Malice won't remove your head. You are too useful for now at least. I wouldn't be surprise if he considered marrying into one of the royal families. That includes you. And what kind of trouble were you getting into you fool? By the way, where is Malice?" 

 

[Ms. Sparrow]

 Bramble yanked herself out of Kaladin's grip, quickly striding alongside him as he walked. Her corseted figure tense with anger.  The thought of being married off always put a damper on Bramble's mood. 


Chips of choclate broke off the bottom of her green dress as she kept pace with him. 


"It's not my fault," Bramble said, in the same beastly mood as Kaladin. "The wee chicks were bored. Besides, it's tradition to for us watch the balls. Just because that rot of a King is here won't change that." 


Bramble ran her hand through her long dark locks, which were now tangled and loose from their braid. Her hair pins clinked to the floor as she freed the rest of her braid. Her dark waves fell down, freed from their prison, reaching nearly to her waist. 


"As for Malice, I don't know. If guards were searching for us, then he probably left Gavin to find us." 


Bramble turned down the hall and up a flight of stairs before continuing down the hall.  "Have you seen Ann?" Bramble asked, worried, she remembered telling her to hide in the library. As they walked, at a rather quick pace, candlelights magically flickered to life. Malice had magicked all the candles and lanterns to do such. She hoped the rest of the siblings were okay, she already ached to see them. Then a sudden thought crossed her mind, which made her abruptly stop, her hand shot out, grabbing Kaladin's arm and stopping him.  "Wait, why do you want to know where Malice is? If he isn't jolly well here, I'm fine with wherever he is." Bramble said, her bright eyes narrowing. Would Kaladin actually turn her in to Malice? She'd rather face Gavin then Malice. But would her own brother actually take her to Malice? Bramble simply didn't understand it. He'd been kissing Malice's ass for a couple weeks, but Kaladin was her brother. She'd grown up with him. He would never do such things. Her heart ached. She didn't know who she could trust anymore. Not in these times.

|Emrys Harcourt|


Emrys sighed. Hoping for a clean getaway had been foolish. He pushed off the wall, pulled a hood over his face, and headed towards the exit. He pitied his sister, he really did, but it was out of his hands. She was off to Malice now. "I only hope she makes it back in one piece," He muttered.


[SIZE= 14px]The young prince headed to the royal garden, his gaze darting warily from side to side. He'd go out on little excursions like this, out of the king's 'house of ears', but he had to keep the guard up. When Emrys was out of the castle, he was out of Malice's immediate reached, and Malice hated things he couldn't control. Those such things usually ended head first on a pike, strewn up outside for all to see. After all, what better way to secure a kingdom through fear than to hang up the bodies of those who disobey.[/SIZE]

​

After Gavin left to search in the rooms she suggested, Rose went to the room where the kids should be, only to see that Elisa was not there. So she went out to search for her, which was easy: Elisa always stayed at the library, playing piano or reading. It's part of her hobbies. After knocking the door to let her know, the red head peeked her head in with a small frown.


"Elisa? Why are you not in your room?" Her voice is gentle in tone, ringing with an apology like she knows why already but wanted to hear it from the young princess.

Peering over towards the door, her fingers quickly ran off the keys of the piano. Giving a small apologetic smile to Rose her head fell down along with a few tears. "I didn't know what happened, I was scared when no one was coming back.." She stood herself up tightening the blanket round her shoulders walking towards the door slowly. "Wheres Deborah and Bramble? I heard a loud crash.." Her head looked up for a moment, there wasn't much of an expression as such, just a lot of tears falling down from her eyes.

As guilt pierced through her heart from seeing Elisa's tears, Rose came in the room and closed the door, locking it. Then she walked closer to the young princess and crouched down, wiping her tears away with a handkerchief. "I...I don't know where they are. After Deborah crashed into the chocolate fountain and Bramble coming out of the table, the two ran off to somewhere before the king could get them." she explained quietly, still wiping the tears away.


"Now...Gavin and Malice are looking for them and to be honest, I rather Gavin finds them first than the king...if they are ever found." Rose commented quietly, looking pained from saying that. It's not just because the connection the head guard and her have; It's because his punishment is a lot more safer than the King's. The caregiver then hugged Elisa, gently patting her head. "I'm sorry for pushing you back in the room...but I didn't want you to be in trouble too."

Nice. After he was gone a sufficient amount of time, Ben vanished to his workshop. The kids all got to be in trouble how fun was that. He hoped Malice didn't get mad because he left...
