Roania wrote:A guard hurried to Mancuso's side with the ice and handkerchief he requested.
Selevar's hand shook, and he stood there in quiet shock. There was no movement to intervene against Mancuso. He only shook his head once or twice, staggered by his actions. For the first time, the Grand Duke seemed absolutely speechless. What had just happened was absolutely beyond his understanding of his own self, and his actions. His jaw dropped slightly, as if he was going to speak, and then he shook his head and took off running towards the cliff-edge. He got a few steps before Nesar and Rimeil combined and bought him down, the assassin pinning him to the ground.
"I hardly think The Lady of Ten Thousand Years wants to wake up to find herself a widow, Selevar." Nesar said, his voice cool.
"What... is mother... I mean... is the Lady of Ten Thousand Years alright?" Damalin asked Mancuso, his voice quavering. He'd never seen something like this before, and it had hit him hard. The young prince seemed absolutely at a loss, shifting from foot to foot. He couldn't believe his father... it was beyond him. And then he rounded on NaiLin. "This is all your fault!"
"My fault?" NaiLin parroted, shocked. "How is it my fault that father... did that?" The Princess gathered her dress about herself. "This entire thing has been absurd. If you and father would just come to terms with... well, everything." She stiffly thrust her chin out, glaring at her younger brother. "I'm sorry you're upset, but this is who I am now, and I refuse to apologize for that. You..."
"NaiLin, Zlithhun makkar, karkare., ai, aihuli, aisyri.." Daeri snapped, striding from the bar to join the crowd. NaiLin looked rebellious for a moment, but Daria raised a finger, and the princess went quiet. "Your mother will be fine, Damalin." The Judiciar put her hand on his shoulder and squeezed. "Why don't you go and get her a drink for when she wakes up. NaiLin, come with me." Once again the princess looked like she was going to refuse, but Daeri didn't give her the chance. The older woman reached out and grabbed her by the shoulder. "We're going to speak to some people, young lady."
Daeri was strong enough that NaiLin was pulled along for a few moments before she found the strength to resist. "You can't do this to me! I'm a princess! Let go of me, you..." Once more, there was the sound of flesh striking flesh, and NaiLin went quiet, her eyes wide.
"Right now, you are nothing but a spoiled little brat who's not got the good sense to be quiet when her elders tell her to." Daeri whispered, her eyes glinting in the light. "If I didn't... well, no matter. You want to be a princess? Act like one. Now, come." NaiLin was dragged out of the orchards, her eyes wide and terrified.
"My wife. Good woman, right?" Nesar rolled his eyes as he rolled up to the party with Selevar, the Grand Duke's hands locked behind his back. "How's the Empress, Signore Mancuso?"

She raised one hand. "Beer me."
