“Is everything prepared for our journey home?”

“Yes, your majesty the army are completing their rounds gathering anything worth of value once task has been completed they will see—–.”

“The castle burned to the ground.”

“Yes.”

“The executioners sent to seek out Princess Alice have they returned with message on her whereabouts?”

“No, they have not.”

“They left, seven sunrises ago! They were given command to return on the fifth day!?”

“I do not know why——-.”

“You do not know Adele!? You do not know? Unless you, tend to move foot from ass I suggest you seek immediate answer!”

“Your majesty the executioners have been gone many days I wouldn’t know where to begin to——-.” Jennicus out of anger grabs the glass goblet sitting next to her throwing it directly at her. Before she could react to recover the glass shattered against her left cheek tearing open her flesh. Concealing her anger and pain she places her hand to her cheek hoping to soothe the pain. Jennicus having no remorse for the wound she inflicted continues her tirade.

“Find the executioners and see me informed at once!”

“Yes—-yes your majesty.” Removing herself from her presence she then seeks aid to assist with the stitching of her wound. Sitting in a chair while the medicus threaded a needle, Adele was fuming on the inside. True, similar to Jennicus and LaMiya she too was a snake. She lied, schemed, killed, and black mailed anyone or anything to get what she wanted.

At an early age her mother enjoyed reminding her daily she was never wanted and only fell to her knees to pray to the Gods to bless her by sending Adele to the afterlife. She held no motherly instincts or bestowed upon her a loving embrace. Although, her mother was very much alive mentality she was not. Force to care for herself, she stole food, clothes, and learned to gamble for coin. Her willingness to survive came at cost she no longer held a conscious. One day as fate would have it she crossed paths with Jennicus, her determination to become more than what she was matched her own. So, when Jennicus approached her about the idea to overthrown Lesbiannicus with the promise to see her to higher position Adele gave her word to assist with setting the wheels in motion. Under Jennicus command, it was she who traveled abroad planting rumors in the ears of the worthy setting in motion a string of unjust wars. Lesbiannicus was the capital of all nine kingdoms, if Queen Lenore fell to ruin it gave Jennicus opportunity to overthrow the thrown with Adele ruling by her side. What began as a partnership, gradually turned into her becoming Jennicus personal servant. The verbal insults, threats, and the physical abuse from her brutish hands for the last 10 years had taken its toll she was tired of being her whipping post. Feeling the glass shatter against her face something inside her changed. It was clear Jennicus had no intention of seeing her to a higher position and it angered her she couldn’t see beyond her lies until now. No longer, driven by her own personal agenda the Gods had presented a grave shift in the winds. As the needle weaved in and out of her flesh she secretly made an oath. If it came at the expense of her own life she vowed to see Jennicus destroyed.
