tune

She nodded a little bit. "Alright. Thank you." she said, shifting and then beginning to move away. She needed to figure out the best way to get ahold of Korain.

With a wave, he left the room, leaving her in peace.

She waved back faintly, then went back to her assigned task, while still working on plans.

(timeskip?)

(alright!)

Rose let out a breath. She had a plan, she just needed to get the others to help. So she set out to find them, eyes flickering around the halls as she looked for them. Even if she could only find one, she just needed some help.

"You're so full of yourself, you know that, Khrysaor?" One of the other soldiers asked, shoving Javaid jokingly.
Jav shrugged, grinning and rubbing the back of his neck. "I'm only full of myself because I'm that good. You'd be as arrogant as I am if you actually had the talent, you know."
The other soldiers all ooohed and laughed.
He glanced around the hall and spotted the princess coming toward them, her illusion still in place. She looked like she was looking for someone.

She finally spotted Javaid, and headed over to him. "May I speak with you?" She asked, looking up at him and ignoring the other soldiers.

The other soldiers made suggestive comments about Rose when she tried to speak to Javaid.
"Never thought your type would be ugly, Khrysaor," one of them said.
Javaid sent him a sharp glare.If they knew who it really was they were talking about… he thought. "She's my cousin," he said angrily, and then pulled her aside, away from the soldiers. "What's up?"

Rose took in a deep breath at the soldiers words, carefully observing each face so that when she came back and took her throne, she could have them kicked out of the castle. She looked up at Javaid. "I know how to get my brother out." She said simply. "But I need help."

His expression froze in shock for a moment, then he nodded. "What do you need help with? Dae and I will help you to the best of our abilities."

"Well…mostly transportation. I'm going to have to lure him out of the castle and then knock him out, but the…the collar makes it impossible for me to use anything but simple spells on him. So I'll need to physically knock him out and carry him, without him…you know. Killing someone."

"Of course." Jav thought for a moment, then nodded. "There's a merchant's cart that the King loves to buy from, as he has a lot of unique items that aren't often found. I know for certain, though, that this merchant hates him. So I think we can arrange an opportunity to smuggle your brother out without others getting suspicious. I'll talk to Dae and get more information on the merchant."

(shdhgg the Uncle is not married, there is only a King, no queen. Sorry should have told you earlier)

She nodded slowly. "Okay. And… we'll have to be quick about it. I need to get him out of the city quickly, so that when he wakes up no one gets hurt." She also needed to figure out how to get the collar off.

(Oh, whoops haha. Good to know! I'll change that, then.)

"Of course. The merchant will be here for a week. When do you want to let him go?" Jav fiddled with one of the knives at his side.

(thanks!)

She frowned a little, thinking. "I'm not quite sure. The sooner the better, probably, but…I need to do some more research in the royal library about the collar. I need to figure out a way to get it off of him."

"Okay. And if you need any help, you know my brother and I will do whatever we can." Jav pursed his lips. "I don't know where these types of books might be, but I assume they're not in the library. The king would have removed them and hidden them so that no one finds them."

She sighed faintly. "I know. The royal family has a… personal library. That's the one I need to access." She brushed back a lock of hair from her face, frowning. "I just…am not sure how to access it."

"What do you mean? Is there like a secret passage leading to it or something?" Jav tilted his head slightly. "Or is it that your uncle knows where it is?"

"Obviously my uncle knows where it is, and yes that's the main problem." She replied. "If he caught me in there, I don't know what would happen."

"Hm… that does tend to be a problem. Tell you what: Dae is one of the advisors. I'll ask him when the next meeting is for the king, or a time that he'll be gone and busy, and then you can use that time to try and find something. Sound good?"

She nodded a little. "That sounds good." She replied. "Thank you." She tucked back a loose strand of brown hair, thinking.
