Éric de Villegaignon
"Worse is... quite subjective. More interesting, perhaps?"
The rumours at the walls were true, then: the dried blood on the Achysian assassin, the signs of a struggle that re-decorated the throne room with dust and ash... whatever happened here was a decisive step. To attack Alexis while she was out on the field was one thing; to reach her, to attempt murder at her very cradle was another thing entirely. By what he heard - and he still needed to hear more - they'd ride to meet an Achisian leader, to dissuade him of his thoughts of war in face of such a danger.
"Well, usually I'd be more... refined with the way I structure my telling of an event, be it for my upbringing, be it for the time I spent on the Isles, but... To put it simply - and I'm obviously leaving details behind, ones I'll pick up once I'm properly rested - Alexis, your sister, the one named Estelle, is alive. By which means I do not know, but it may be the case of hatred powering her through such... minor inconveniences such as death.
The Traitor, quite the charming title, is coming for you, Alexis. You, literally and metaphorically: as her sister and as the representation of Duivene. Not just that, but she has access to the ability of summoning Hosts of the Shade to her aid, as I was attacked by them. So did a nearby village. She is... teamed up, as I couldn't ascertain the nature of her partnership with the Archbishop of Pride.
I do not know the nature of their plans, but their objective is clear: they're after you, Alexis. And they'll look towards getting allies around you. Yet Estelle harbors a deep hatred towards you, and I do not know how much of that can be translated into power. We all need to prepare ourselves."

"My sister... and the Shade's Hosts."
Alexis said nothing else for a few more moments, just grasping her lance until her knuckles turned white. "I saw her, the one who looks like my sister and calls herself Estelle. i fought her, and I've felt her rage and her hate. But to think... to think that my sister, or that someone or something looking and talking and fighting like her, would summon and fight alongside Shades... I can't believe it. I know that you must be telling the truth, but I can't accept that my sister would do something like that. We fought them together. The shades, and our uncle, the Uncrowned king. We both saw, so very well, the pain and suffering they brought to Duivene. So how could she? How could this, this person be my sister? But when I fought her, when I talked to her... I was so certain that it was her. I don't know... I really don't know..."
The princess closed her eyes, as if she was trying to hold back her tears. "And the Archbishop of Pride... does that mean that all of them are alive? That all the Seven Traitors are still alive? That can't be. I know that they are dead. I've seen them die." Alexis started shivering, almost as if she was afraid, but she then raised her lance and hit the floor beneath with its bottom. "It doesn't matter. If that is really Estelle, and that was really Lidia... maybe they do have a right to kill me. And if that is the case, and our entire fight ended with the slaughtering of innocents... then maybe I do deserve to die. But I can't die. Not yet. We have to stop this war. The continent, the Silver Realms, the people... they can't experience another war. Not again. Too many have died, and too many have suffered. We need to stop the war before it starts, to talk with the Achysians, to stop their attack. And then to try to find a middle ground, something that can keep the peace. I don't know whether this Lidia and this Estelle are real... but both of them have fought and bled during the war, all for the hope of peace. I won't let this fragile peace, their dream, our dream, be shattered. We shall go and meet the Achysians. Illania will lead us. And Constable... I trust you, and I've seen you fight. I want you to come with us."

A small camp
After Illania's words, Alexis looked down, blushing. She seemed to be deep in thought, looking away from the witch, and as the moments passed, a sad smile appeared on her face. "I don't get that either, to be honest. We are... or we were, enemies. Even now, with you, even if you've saved my life, I just can't look at you without thinking about Achysia. And I can't think about Achysia without remembering when me and my sister were taken away and split after, after the death of our mother. I can't think about Achysia without remembering the knights bringing the news that my brother was dead, and seeing his broken body when they brought him back. I can't... feel anything before being flooded by all the grief. It's been a long war, and a bloody war. And much like how I revile your Mage-Emperor for all the pain that he caused... you, your siblings, and all Achysia should also revile me. I've killed many of people, shed a lot of Achysian blood. And in some ways, I'm even worse than the Mage-Emperor. No matter the purpose, and no matter the goal that we had, I'm still a kinslayer. I've stained my lance with the blood of my sister, and with the blood of my friends. My people think I'm a hero, but this is not a crime that should be forgiven, nor is it a crime that should be overlooked."
Then again, silence, and then a deep breath.
"I'm sorry. It's not the kind of thing that should be discussed around the camp fire.", the princess apologized. "I couldn't help but think about my sister. I never was one to think about romance. I was always just focusing on my duties. It was my sister, who fell in love first... and I remembered talking, with her, and with Lidia." But then Alexis looked again at Illania, with her amethyst eyes. "It's difficult... to even think that Solomon is seeing something in me."

The rider at the front, that Black Knight seemed to have picked up Lidia's approach relatively early, or at least she would have had the feeling of a pair of eyes upon her before she even chose to reveal herself to the convoy. Yet he had not acted up until she came low enough to greet them, suddenly tugging brutally on the reigns of his horse, the animal neighing in pain and shock as it rose and nearly fell over backwards. Yet the Knight had the situation under control and neither thing came to pass, though the riders behind him had considerably more trouble but also a little more space to get things under control.
The Knight appeared to be looking at her, though it was hard to tell, what with his helmet and the deep knight practically completely bathing his eyes in shadow. As a matter of fact, he himself was almost a shadow, illuminated solely by the torches of his companions. Without a moment's hesitation the massive knight drew a just as massive blade that looked like it could cleave through a man whole in his hands. Hell, he would probably cleave through her griffon if she let him. However, aside from the threatening gesture and the unseen glare he sent her, he did not respond.
Another rider came up beside him instead, sporting ridiculously well kept gear in comparison to the knight. The Unsterb crest was proudly displayed on his chest and he moved like a trained professional as he came and raised his torch to try and get a better look at her, stating:
"Good evening traveller."
He was cautious. Few people were riding griffons and those who did either had no business being here, exactly the wrong type of business or were of a particularly nasty variety as far as guards like him were concerned.
"What brings a griffon rider such as yourself to these lands? Understand the caution but the last time most of us saw any in these lands was during the war. Your kind hasn't left the best impression."

The man who had spoken to her slowly put his hand on the handle of his blade, ready to draw as his eyes narrowed at Lidia. Her unnatural approach and her desecrated armour had not failed to make an impression on him it seemed. However, before he could do anything stupid, he had the reigns of another horse thrown at him, nearly losing the torch out of surprise and in an attempt to catch them. The Black Knight was dismounting, armour clanging as his entire weight landed on the road, the giant knight approaching Lidia to stand before her, the scratches of his armour being plentiful but not fully hiding what had once been Achysian symbols.
"I am not certain we can provide you with either of these things, particularly if Duivene has not yielded the results you sought."
, the man said carefully, seemingly trying to keep the peace but expecting Lidia to have come here fully intent on causing trouble of the fatal variety. The other guards accompanying the coach were also preparing to draw their weapons at a moment's notice, lining up to attack if Lidia were to make a wrong move. Things looked as though they could escalate at any moment.
"What is the cause for this delay?"
, a hoarse voice asked dryly from behind all the steeds and men, though none of them turned their heads, keeping their sights on Lidia which spoke of their skills.
"It appears that a young member of the Paladins has come to bar our way."
, the torch bearer replied through gritted teeth. Following that some of the horses behind him began neighing and prancing out to the side as someone made their way through between them, eventually coming out behind the Black Knight who had stared down Lidia throughout this entire encounter, curiously never having made a single sound. The man who appeared was tall and broad shouldered, though age seemed to have ravaged his frame a great deal, robbing him of much of his former strength. His head was bald and pale save for a bushy moustache. Despite his advanced age however he bore himself with pride and excellent stature, his blue eyes calmly sizing up Lidia before he raised a hand, causing the majority of the guards to immediately relax...all save for the Black Knight.
"Stand down men. This is not something you can deal with even if you tried."
, he commanded before bowing slightly before Lidia, stating:
"Welcome to the Oath League of Anselm, fair Lady. I assume it within your interest not to utter your name in the open so I apologise for not greeting you properly. Now, I believe I speak both for my Mistress and your expectations if I invite you to share our coach with us for the ride to Elmstedt?"
