Thread: Chains of Gossamer ~ Ashiaka & AlureNova

The sorceress nodded to the knights the bowed to her, and gave friendly smile to the servants they based on the way to the throne room. She was fortunate, really. The whole kingdom knew who was responsible for their prosperity. While many of the male citizens at first had been... rather ungrateful, Seraphina had quickly remedied that with certain passive aggressive methods. Now, she was almost treated like a queen might be treated by the majority of the realm. They parted for her, bowed to her, thanked her, obeyed her, and was given the respect she deserved, an oddity considering her sex and station. She never abused it though. She knew what happened to those with power that abused it. She would not make such a mistake. Turning into the antechamber to the King's Throne Room, she turns around to face Kira before the door. Gold eyes taken in the prisoner's form, noticing the slight nervousness she seemed to radiate. She wondered it if was because she had revealed her last name. Rolling the name around in her mind, it seemed familiar, but just out of reach. On the tip of her tongue. It seemed that Kira was almost reluctant to release the information. So she was either ashamed of her name, and of someone possibly recognizing it, or was afraid for me to recognize it for an entirely different reason. Which would imply a deeper meaning behind the name regardless. Leaning her weight on one leg, she examines the knight again. Chestnut locks, blue eyes, alabaster skin, sharp features. Beautiful, but nothing unique enough to make a ready comparison and link to anything she could conjure in her minds eye. Vivaldi... I vaguely recall the name... She speaks, mostly to herself, looking off to her right at nothing in particular. Shaking her head, white strands flow gently from side to side. Regardless, it is not important currently. It will come back with time, I'm sure. Attention back on the chained woman, she can't help but smirk as she contemplates whether to answer her second question. Giving Kira a once over again, her eyes darken with desire. Locking eyes with the knight, she gives her a wink before turning on her heel. You'll find out in a moment, She answers simply before tapping the large doors with her staff, causing them to swing open. The sorceress confidently strides into the Throne Room, where the king is currently whispering with an adviser, most likely. When he notices her, he waves his hand at the man, letting him know the conversation is over. As Seraphina approaches the throne, she halts and kneels, showing proper respect to the king. As she does, Kira is also forced to kneel by her chains. Seraphina, what might I ask are you doing with the Roanoc prisoner? The king asks calmly, seemingly unperturbed. The sorceress can't help the grin that takes over her features as she stands to meet the king's gaze. King Eida, I've come to humbly request that this prisoner be released into my custody, The witch says simply, causing the king's eyebrows to rise in curiosity. And for what reason do you make such a request? Eida inquires. He hardly received requests from the sorceress, she merely didn't refuse what he offered. So this was quite odd. Personal reasons, your Highness. The woman intrigues me, His his answer, and the tone of voice lets him know that he'll get no more out of her. He entertains the idea of refusing her for merely a moment, before nodding his head in consent. I'll trust you to keep her in check, The answer given. The woman is now hers.
