"...So you want me to be the duchess of Durhiel, a vassal of Exsten?"

Diana didn't like the idea. It would be like approving the whole invasion.

[Sirus]

Ursa's face cracked with a rare smile.

: "Plan good. Boy is smart."

[Blade Master Model 42]

"Not precisely. I was thinking more along the lines of Princess Diana, husband of Prince Armad, the future leige of Exsten."

[SeriousConcentrate]

Diana blinked, not quite sure she had heard him correctly.

"I'm sorry, I must not have been paying attention."

She looked at the general behind her.

"...I did hear him correctly, and that's why you didn't want to tell me, isn't it Eren?"

She looked down for a moment. She had to buy some time to escape, but there was no way she was going to go along with this.

"I can't possibly agree to something like that right now. I... I need some time to meet the man in question and to think about all of this."

[Swordstar]

"Sounds like a good plan to me. Shall we head out now, since this guy's in a real hurry? Or should we be waiting on something?" Brann gripped his sword hilt and frowned. Even though he'd fought before, it made him nervous to think about sneaking into a castle and fighting all those guards.

[Blade Master Model 42]

Eren turned red and turned his gaze toward the ceiling. "Well, I'm sure it wasn't my place to presume to tell you. After all, this is his Majesty's decision after all, and obviously I wouldn't wish to be treading on anyone's toes _{and honestly I wasn't sure he wasn't joking...}

"I didn't expect you to agree right away." Ansel sound, his voice washing out Eren's mutterings. "However Armad is unable to travel here, at least for now. I trust you understand I won't be letting you leave the castle."

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Yes. I do understand."

The fact she didn't like it was obvious to both of them, she was sure, but she wasn't going to cause any trouble. At least, not overtly, or until she was ready to make her move.

"...So did he tell you anything more about this threat to everyone?"

She indicated Kunsel.

[Xanmyral]

@Ceil

The strange mage was jerked from his concentrated hate-a-thon against the iron bars in an attempt to possibly mentally destroy them due to Ceil's words, looking in her direction.

"You have no objection here, this is the kind of place that I do steer away from. To be trapped so, no tree to be tapped, no sky to be seen, no hill that leans... An abomination. Stone and steel, that I wish to postpone and never feel." The rhyming mage's words were edged with obvious venom at his surroundings.

[scapheap]

Jago, still panicking, places his bleeding hands on Freya's shoulders and looks at her, actually crying.
:"What did I do to deserve this why am I in here why is everything so small and cold and- and dark?! I hate it, I hate it, I hate it!"

She sighs
:"Life is rarely fair, moaning about it won't make it develop a heart suddenly. Look on the bright side, you still have your health and the place is filled with people on ours side."
She walk around the jail, poking at the walls here and there.

[Blade Master Model 42]

"Yes. But perhaps it would be best for him to tell you in his own words."

Kunsel sighed, and wrung his hands a little. "Um. W-well, you see... I had a vision. I have many visions. But this one was different, clearer than anything I had ever seen before." The robed man took a deep breath, exhaled again, and continued. "The very ground beneath my feet shattered, like glass. Crops and livestock burned alive by blood from the earth. I saw the oceans rise over the land, then fall away again, leaving nothing but sand."

"In less than a year, this prophecy will come to pass. Unless the remaining Divine energies can be gathered, transmuted into an icon of holy power. I still do not understand how this can save us... But my vision was very clear. King Ansel will use it to save us all."

[Powder Miner]

Jago attempts to calm himself at Freya's words, but only manages to stop his outright hand-ripping panic. He's still trembling, still crying (though less so), and still obviously afraid.

[scapheap]

Freya walked over, thinking. Disliding a hug would be too much, she put a reassuring hand on Jago's shoulder.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Diana looked at Kunsel for a moment, not really believing him, before turning back to Ansel.

"...Another question. What happened to the captain of the guard here, Zayn?"

[Blade Master Model 42]

"I do not recall such a man being among the few who surrendered. He most likely fell in battle." A short silence descended over the table.

[SeriousConcentrate]

"...Is it possible for me to visit the dungeon, later on? Someone there would want to know."

Diana was managing to hold it together, but it was like losing a favorite uncle. She didn't want to be the one to tell Tyrn, but someone had to.
