Thread: The Prince's Plight

What happened next sent the entire court in shock as the prince seemed to be possessed by a demon as he went on a rampage and started swinging and attacking the guards who had been surrounding him. The entire scene was little more then a bloody mess with limbs flying and curses being shouted in the air as the nobles ran off to find safety. Reina had drawn her own sword and was standing in front of the king in case this madman tried to attack the monarch himself. It seemed that even through all this fighting the guards had finally managed to take down the barbarian without anyone losing their lives. Her men were bloodied and no doubt quite a few of their bones had been broken by the prince's outburst. He didn't look too good himself and would no doubt requite medical attention. Pft, like they would be able to find a doctor who would be willing to go anywhere near him without fear of being dismembered. Even as the guards secured his bindings and started dragging him away the bastard had the gall to throw them a mad grin before spitting at her. Her grip tightened on her sword as the glob of saliva hit her armor with a squelching noise. As the guards finally managed to drag him out of the throne room and towards his confines she had a chance to really examine the damage that he had caused. No way. No fucking way. Reina barked as she turned to face the king. Even through all of this the old man still had that same amused smile on his face as if he had just watched a theater performance instead of a madman who had damaged at least half the royal guard. Lock him in the dungeon and don't let him see the light of day. You could even put him with the rest of the wild animals in the zoo but there is no way in hell I am going anywhere near that beast. Surely after this show the king would think twice about his plan and just put Lox somewhere in the dungeons where they wouldn't have to deal with him until negotiations were reached. That was what any rational man would do but Reina had learned early on that her king didn't always think like a rational person. Are you refusing your king's gift? The man asked with a glint in his eyes. Her protests had fallen on deaf ears and it didn't seem like she was going to change his mind. No, he was set on his little plan on bringing as much humiliation to the prince and his kingdom as he could, even if that meant that some bones were going to have to be broken to do that. Sighing, Reina mumbled her apologies before being dismissed from the throne room. Climbing the main staircase she made her way to her own room and slowly started peeling off the armor that was weighing her down. Under all the heavy metal she seemed more a girl then a warrior with a slight frame and being barely 5'5 tall. Yet there could be no mistaking the hard muscles on her arms or the various scars on her body as anything other then someone who had trained in warfare. After taking off the armor she changed into a pair of comfortable leather trousers and a dark blue tunic. Sighing, she had been pushing this off for too long and it was time to meet the devil. Rubbing her fingers against her temples she exited her own room and went to the one at the end of the hall where at least ten guards stood, armed to the teeth. Lox may be a madman but he was still a prince so they'd given him a small room. All it held was a bed and a small chest with a window at least a good twenty feet off the floor. Turning the handle she stepped into the room and cast her eyes over to where the man was still bound with his hands tied behind his back. That was quite some entrance. Reina said with little humor as she closed the door behind her. After seeing what he did to her men most others would have been scared to be in the same building as him let alone the same room. However she just looked bored as she leaned up against the wall. His hands were tied and despite appearances she was more then capable of holding her own against him.
