Thread: Baptism of Blood (Writer & Zero)

Claudia smiled softly as she sat in the chair. She looked up at the guards and smiled sweetly. Thank you very much. She spoke and looked at Violet. My queen, you praise me too much, I'm flattered. She smiled happily and looked a bit suprised at the glass of blood wine. She had very few chances to taste such a substance. She smiled and drank it happily, she seemed to have brightened up as she drank the rare substance. I need no pride in myself Violet. My pride rests within you, should people rally with me I will take pride in them. She smiled and sipped her own wine. Those looking at them could even see the way Claudia unintentionally mimicked the way Violet drank, sat and posed. She never realized it though it just sort of happened. She heard her next words and her face flushed red slightly. M-My lady! I-I um... She had gone from a calm and composed woman to a flustered and suttering little girl. Agatha giggled and leaned back in her seat as she downed more wine. Well if we survive this war and the lady proves herself then perhaps we should find her a husband to wed and bed. She winked and looked at her comrades. This only made Claudia blush brighter as her eyes widened and she looked down. She had never pondered on it much. She was always so invested in the Queen and the people therein. Ah, I don't know many men that would take interest in someone like me. She chuckled and Agatha looked her up and down. Oh please darling you really are too humble! Please, I'm sure you could sate the tastes for any vampire And I'm not talking just blood here sweet heart. She said as Claudia slowly leaned on the table face first. Agatha was and always would be relentless with her jokes, If it wasn't with the other Dukes and Duchesses it was the lesser people. Lady Agatha was readying her forces. Illusionists garbed in red robes with plates of armor below. They began to make their way to the trees and at the sides of the troops as instructed. Agatha over seen it and nodded her heads at the lords and ladies as they were put into place, her hefty red gown now replaced with a set of armor and her blades at her side. We will win this war, we will fight for eachother and for the queen! There aren't many of us sure, but we can hold them off and win this war. So stay smart and stay strong, fight for your pride lest it be taken away from you. Fight for your family and their safety, for honor and peace, and so that those who cannot fight nor have the voice to speak don't have to. She spoke out and sent off her troop leaving a squad around for protection. They quickly casted their spells and created their realistic illusions, they stuck to trees and troops and waited for the signal to cast the rest. Agatha nodded and readied herself with her spear at her side. They could come from anywhere if they wanted, so she had to be ready at all times and closed her eyes. Her body began to duplicate, then another. There were three in total and they immediatly spread out to vulnerable sides of the kingdom with four other illusionists each and waited. Claudia was battle ready this day. She was among other men and women ready to fight for the kingdom dressing up. She looked at herself naked for the moment and sighed closed her eyes. She then armored up and checked others, after the examination of the troops she went back up to Violet. Some last words to exchange incase she fell in battle. She was checking her Queen's armor and making sure it was at the best it could bet. My lady... if I may say... should we hide the key? I know Richtus starts these damned wars for the hell of it... but what if they try to grab the key this time? If we stay too focused on the front lines we might lose something else... Though sometimes I do wonder what's on the otherside... She sighed and smiled at her. Are you ready my lady? she asked and looked at her with a determined face. Her eyes were filled with flames of passion and she was ready for battle.
