“Yes your majesty.”

“Summon our ten greatest soldiers sending them after her when she has been silenced bring her body back to me as proof the task at hand has been completed.” Adele still awaiting further instructions has yet to remove herself from the queens sight. “You remain still find her…….find her now!” Running out the queens sight Adele with her heart racing makes her way to the farming community were the soldiers were required to sleep. Once there Adele called upon the ten greatest warriors, giving them orders, and preparing them for their travels. She also instructed they were to leave immediately. Standing before them as they all mounted their horses she gives one final command.

“You have been selected as you represent the queen and the greater good of what she is trying to accomplish. You have all taken an oath of allegiance a sacramentum of loyalty to the queen and the new republic. As gratitude for your honor return Princess Alice dead or alive and see that you will be rewarded substantially if you fail payment will rendered with your blood.” Lead by head warrior Nemesis carrying the new banner in unison the other 9 warriors follow behind her disappearing amongst the fog.

“Many nights I prayed to the Gods to bestow my rightful place as queen and ruler of Lesbiannicus as I know of no one else most deserving of the title it was and has always been my destiny. For years, I’ve sat watching a queen rule with head in ass driven only by the love of the people. Love, emotionally cripples the mind and clouds judgment. As I sit upon the throne my purpose is clear to conquer and rule all.”

Over the course of the next few weeks all remembrance of the royal family had been removed from Castle Azzuré. Survivors of the attack were given the option to pledge their allegiance to the new queen or face death. Those that refused were either killed or forced into slavery. Many choose death as it was a more honorable choice than to serve a queen who had forced their hand. Those who managed to escape the invasion promised to return serving vengeance in their late queens honor.

Urena noticing her horse running at a pace slower than expected eagerly looks for a safe and comfortable place to rest for the night. In just a short amount of time they had traveled a great distance. A few yards ahead of her she sees a giant rock that had potential to provide shelter and shield them from any unwelcoming enemies while they slept. Dismounting her horse Urena leads them up the path until they reach the rock. Once they are settled Urena gathered nearby branches making a fire providing them with heat against a cold and chill night. Once they had consumed the little water and food they had left both Urena and Alice fell asleep for the night.
