Thread: Brave New World (Razgriz x darkangel76)

Anselm just gazed upon his queen as she sat there, looking far too regal and yet still managing to be nothing short of perfect. Ever since they'd been together, she was everything he could have hoped for in a woman Caring, fierce, and loyal. To think she had to raise herself up from such despair though perhaps that was what drew her to him. She was a struggler, trying to make her way in life when there was nothing left to protect or comfort her. She never did say what happened to her family after all, she was relatively young compared to him. But he figured that was something she would reveal to him in her own time. It was not his place to question such things, after all each person was their own and that was something he always tried to respect. Though his eyes did widen a bit as Helena confirmed there was something to talk about this surprise only grew as the name 'Charles Vincent' was mentioned. What did he have to do with any of this? That man was a good friend of his, surely there was a misunderstanding? Maybe he heard the name wrong? His eyes then wandered down to the delicate hand that rested on his thigh the fact that concern laced every syllable of her voice also did nothing to ease what she might have to say. A threat? How would you come such a conclusion? What does Charles have to do with any of this? he then asked, unaware of the answer he was going to receive. He was about to ask if she had said the right name before she then went into detail about Charles, going so far as to even say that he would plot against him, rebel against his rule. Surely this was a joke Charles was one of the many men who helped him make sure his subjects were happy and safe! He was one of the trusted few alongside Reginald as his advisor speaking of which, upon the queen's request, the man gave a small bow and respectfully showed himself out. My Queen, surely there must be some mistake...Charles is one of my most trusted men, a man who has faithfully served the crown he replied though his eyes went wide as she accused him of being the cause of her father's death. Well, now this was quite the pickle, he thought Charles was a good man. Always had been. However, he wasn't a leader because of his naivete he could read people, and the flames behind her eyes showed deep-rooted anger and sadness. My beloved... he stated simply as she touched his face, their eyes locking with each other like any two deeply in love would, even as he reached up and touched her hand with his own. I do not understand...But whatever did happen to your father, I will make this right. But know that what you accuse Charles of is nothing short of treason. Taking his hand from hers and placing both of his to her cheek, Anselm added, However, I am not like the Kings of old I will handle him personally and he will be allowed to say his piece. To simply eliminate him without getting his side of the story would spark fear in the populace it's that kind of fear that caused the downfall of so many other kingdoms. For a moment, a steely look crossed his features, However, if he is found guilty...If it does turn out that he conspires against me, he will be held accountable for his actions. His face then softened a little as he leaned over and pinched the bridge of his nose, I do not know why he would conspire, as I feel I have been a fair and just King. But the truth must be uncovered...Sevin! Constabil! At that declaration, two men dressed in Royal Guard armor - streamlined suits designed for comfort and durability, finished in dark grey - carrying standard-issue assault rifles approached the throne and knelt before the King and Queen. What is it you require, m'Lord? Sevin asked Anselm just responded, Seek out Charles Vincent and let him know I wish to speak with him. It is a matter of grave importance. As you wish, m'Lord Constabil finished, both of the guardsmen rising to carry out their orders. As they walked out the door, Anselm turned to his lovely Queen, Fret not, my dear we shall get to the bottom of this. I swear it to you with my life.
