tadabug2000 3515 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Dona Johanne Vuiller glanced over the missive a moment, before filing it away into a cabinet. She'd visited their new allies this past Saints day, taking a look upon their city and befriending those within. "For the Eagles foresight, we reign victorious." She'd murmur out, glad to see the prosperous Kingdom of Balian rise further. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
High_On_Math 404 Share Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) The desert heat pounded down on Lucilia's back as she sat in the gardens of Haelun'or, looking down at the printed missive. She stared at section IV. "We're literally Balain's slaves now! The savages are going to send our mali to fight in unprovoked conquests of greed. Slaves, damnit." The 16 year old picked the missive up and began anxiously pacing around, now talking out loud to herself. "Grand Uncle would probably say that we're doing the best we can to promote peace, but the best we can isn't enough. Why do valah have to kick us out of our home, and then we come here and once again rely on them? How can we sleep at night knowing everything we have is a joke and a lie, which could be taken from us at any moment?!" She'd pause, realizing that she had been talking out loud. . . She scanned the gardens for other people. Fortunately no one was close enough to hear her talk. She took a deep breath and decided to retreat back to the privacy of her house. As she walked, rationality fought with angsty teenage hormones inside her brain. . . "I know we're ne supposed to be proud and greedy like valah. I know I'm ne supposed to feel ashamed that we left our home to prevent more violence. I know I'm ne supposed to hate the valah peasant-slaves forced to fight their monarchs' wars. But- but I really hate feeling like the valah own us." Though she'd managed to keep her monologue internal, by the time Lucilia had reached her home, the missive was crumpled and held by a tightly clenched fist.

A certain Elfess was in Balian Upon hearing such news, she drank her whiskey as the heiress began to chuckle, rather only a bit as she gasped with a self satisfaction. She would think about the current news a bit. Shaking her head at the Mali'thill and Aherral of the Silver state who marched into the tavern to break bread and drink mead with their new Valah friends"First Norland and Haense, now the Silver Slaves and Balian.....dear me, even mice learn from their past mistakes. Sadly its a curse that will repeat till they realize their former issue, then again I am not a Valah, they live under us" she said as she panned to a poster of the Western Principality of Celia'nor "then again....everyone owns everyone....don' we?" she said finishing her whiskey as she set the cup down leaving a small tip to the darkwood bartender @HIGH_FIRE 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
