The Good King (OPEN 1 male to play King)

This is a private RP between {New Player} and myself, DormantEvil. If you wish to join, you must PM {New Player} or myself and be cleared to do so before posting.

It was nearing winter solstice, and the entire lands that King Desmond Thorian ruled were blanketed in thick snow. It had been this way for many months, and its people were doing it tough. They had plenty of grain and food reserves, thanks to the generous King keeping the harvests away from bandits and thieves. And every week the people would visit the castle and be handed out equal bundles of preserved food, enough to keep their family alive.

The surrounding Kingdoms thought Desmond weak for taking such care of his people, and living with much less than the other royals, but Desmond was not a greedy man. There was only one aspect of his life that he had to have, and it was family.

Earlier that year, his first wife and mother of two young son's and a daughter had passed away from sickness, and the Kingdom had mourned the loss heavily. Even now wreathes continued to show up at the head of her grave stone.

In the months that had followed, a woman called Rowena Tinderan had caught King Thorian's eye and they had wed in a grand ceremony in the town's public church. With a massive feast and merriment all around.

Princess Anna was the eldest of the three children, and she was smart and well spoken. Her brothers were twins, and were several years younger than her, and had the maturity of toddlers. She doubted either would suit the throne.

With a new Queen, Anna now worried that the Kingdom might suffer the loss of its King...word was that Rowena Tinderan was a widow of unusual circumstances.

Hope this is enough of an introduction. Feel free to post now, Sora.

King Desmond was in the throne room when Anna came busting through the door telling him of evidence that his new wife was going to try to kill him and take the throne for herself he sat there listening to the evidence making sure it was legit and not a fool's thought

Wearing a white blouse with long loose sleeves, and a sapphire blue skirt that barely missed the ground, Anna looked as if she was on a mission. Around her waist was a gold colored tie and over one shoulder she wore her trusty bag.

She knew that her father would recognize the look on her face, it was the same look she had when she said her mother had been murdered by sorcerers. That had turned out to be not true, but at the time she was adamant. And this time she had proof!

Pushing aside the doors with haste, she ordered that the room be cleared, and was glad to see that there had not been an important function on. Sir Gadrick was the only other person present, beyond the standard servants and he knew that Anna had a temper.

When the doors closed behind her, she approached the King.

"Father, I bed of you to reconsider what I have told you. She is plotting to kill you, I know it. And this time I have proof!"

Taking a blood stained letter out of her bag, she handed it over carefully.

"This was intercepted in town, and it bares her mark, you will see that."

The letter was short and to the point, it asked for aid from the neighboring Kingdom in the form of a poison called 'Breathless Elixir', and it was addressed to Prince Fredrick Montegue, someone the King knew was power hungry and was just waiting for his own father to pass away.
